Quick info
About China Diner
China Diner is a Chinese takeaway at 10 Whitehall Terrace in Sunderland, where orders are chosen by time slot. The kitchen sends out huge portions of Chinese takeaway food, and the spicy chips come piping hot alongside the mains. Sweet and sour chicken sits on the menu next to chicken chow mein, and both suit a shared spread of fried rice and sides. Singapore noodles round out the noodle options.

Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chicken is the dish reviewers raise most, called some of the tastiest they have had and rated top marks alongside the Singapore noodles. Close behind is the curry sauce, which one diner rates even higher, while others name prawn chow mein, chicken chow mein, fried rice and spicy chips. Food is repeatedly described as piping hot, with big portions and quick delivery, and one reviewer mentions a cheerful welcome at collection. The recurring complaint is timing. One customer who ordered for a set evening slot had the food arrive well ahead of it and asked for delivery nearer the requested time, and another notes that speed could vary on busier days. One dissenting review found the chicken slimy, the rice overcooked, the curry sauce thick and claggy, the prawn crackers tasting of old chip fat and the chips dried out and small. The early-delivery reviewer still called the food the best Chinese takeaway they have had, and said it was always hot.

“This was possibly the worst chinese takeaway away I've had. It was so tasteless, the chicken felt slimy, rice seriously overcooked and the curry sauce thick and claggy. 2 nice hairs in the rice to add to my disgust. Portion sizes must be for borrowers. There were 13 prawn crackers which just tasted of old chip fat and the smallest bag of dried out chips I've ever had in any takeaway. Absolute no from me.”
