About East Garden

On Sea Rd in Sunderland, East Garden is a Chinese takeaway operating on a walk-in basis with no reservations taken. Chicken and mushroom fried rice with curry sauce is a recurring order, served alongside curry dishes and prawn crackers. Both collection and delivery are offered, and waits can run long, with collection sometimes taking around 45 minutes in the shop and delivery stretching to nearly two hours on occasion. The kitchen has attributed some of these delays to having only a limited number of chefs or a single delivery driver working on busier nights.

    “Most of the food was 100% but the curry was far too spicy. The prawn crackers was the best ive had in years.”

    “Had not been to East Garden for a while but since the better takeaway across the road is temporarily closed, been twice in the last couple of weeks and my has it gone downhill. I've always held the opinion that they use way too much garlic in their dishes which tends to overpower everything. However, last nights meal was generally only fit for the bin. Went for collection and waited about 45 mins in the shop - they only saved a star here as it was busy. Customers in the shop were repeatedly being asked what they ordered. All seemed chaotic. By the time food came out and got it home (all of about 200m) opened the bag. Chips were stone cold, rice was lukewarm and rubbery (obviously cooked hours ago). Beef in the Curry was tough and rubbery. Chicken and Prawn dish lacked anything resembling a prawn, the chicken seemed like cheap reformed pressed chicken. Whole dish was bland and tasteless (apart from the obligatory overuse of Garlic). Really couldn't be bothered to take it back as didn't want to wait for nearly another hour. Can maybe forgive alot of things as been busy - even cold food if being delivered, but cold chips and rubbery rice when collecting - that is so basic it's inexcusable. Certainly won't be going back. One saving grace is the bin had a good meal last night.”
