Customer Review Summary
Satay is the dish reviewers return to, with one praising the chicken skewers and another the veg satay, where a surprise pineapple really worked. Close behind is the Hong Kong style sweet and sour chicken, and one diner calls the food cheap and tasty, cooked by a skilful chef. Several report food ready quickly on collection or arriving piping hot, and one long-standing customer says it has always been good. The complaints are just as recurring, mostly about delivery. Several describe long waits, phone lines that stay engaged, and emails that go unanswered. One says the food arrived stone cold with soggy chicken balls and bland, clumped crispy beef, and another received the wrong dish. One parent describes waiting for dinner for a diabetic child after the insulin had already been given, and one calls the staff rude. One reviewer who cancelled an order by phone reports still having no refund after weeks of emails.

“Great Sweat and Sour Chicken Hong Kong style and Veg Satay, bit of a surprise finding pineapple in the satay, but really worked.”
- Tienne Oates
“We *love* Hello Kitchen, we are based in Hedge End Village so we have 4 Chinese takeaways around us, Hello Kitchen being the furthest away and we *always* ordered from here and collect, the food is ready within 15 minutes, piping hot and absolutely delicious!! I’m salivating thinking about it now! We spent £20-30 per person but we get a feast!”

“After waiting over an hour for a delivery it was delivered stone cold . The chicken balls were soggy . The crispy well soggy beef was bland , awful texture and clumped together . Paid £37 to be thoroughly disappointed when a Tesco’s Chinese ready meal would have been better .”
