Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply. One diner praises the sweet and sour king prawns hong kong style as big, juicy and well matched with egg fried rice, and another says the food arrived hot and beat other Thame takeaways. Others report an order that never arrived after the quoted wait, a flavourless chicken chow mein, doughy chicken balls, and a curt response to a complaint.

“We have been using this Chinese for years and have never been so disappointed and discusted with the way I have been spoken to! An error was made with one of the order and called to get it rectified... The way the lady spoke to me was so …”

“First time and loved it. Better than other Chinese takeaways in Thame. 20 mins from ordering, arrived hot. Highly rated”

“Really disappointed with our first time trying Thame Recipe. The chicken chow mein had no flavour and the chicken wasn’t marinated. The chicken balls were coated in a thick batter that wasn’t crispy and were doughy and undercooked inside. …”

“Think they just forgot my order. Called to order and told 40 minutes. I arrived and paid after 30 minutes. An hour passes and I query where my food is, only to be told another 10-15 minutes. Appalling when I have children waiting at home for a special treat. No apologies. Not even a large order. They either need to give much longer waiting times or not take so many orders.”

“Highly recommend the sweet and sour king prawns hong kong style.The prawns were big, juicy, and cooked perfectly. Full of flavour and went well with the egg fried rice.”
