Customer Review Summary
Wickford Chinese Takeaway draws repeat custom for its king prawns in garlic butter, singled out as the standout dish, alongside big portions and free prawn crackers that walk in customers mention for quick collection. Several reviewers describe hot, flavorful food and delivery arriving on time even for large orders, with staff called kind and patient and one longtime customer noting a favor done by the owner. Against this, a recurring complaint surfaces from a minority: two reviewers describe delivery delays stretching past an hour, one told the order hadn't even been started and given no apology when they called back, and another says the phone was answered by a child laughing before being hung up on. Others describe a one off letdown of cold food, overcooked squid and poor satay sauce, only one pancake roll where two is expected, and food turning excessively salty on a repeat order.

“Very disappointed. Normally very good but on this occasion it was terrible!! Cold food, satay sauce was awful, squid was way over cooked and not really sure why you only get one pancake roll instead of two in any other restaurant. Won’t be coming back”

“First time ordered from Wickford Chinese and can honestly say it was the best Chinese takeaway we have had in a long time. Friendly member of staff took my order with no issues. Delivery was bang on time and the total order (was a big order for eight people)was all correct. Food was hot and was delicious. Would definitely recommend as we will be using Wickford Chinese as our default Chinese from now on.”

“Nipped in as passing by for a walk in collection. Great service, only took 10 minutes and was tasty 😋 Not gloopy, big portions and free prawn crackers. Recommend for sure!”

“Brenda and all staff are very kind and patient with rude customers. We are always served very well, portion boxes are always overflowing and food is very good. The prices have been going up every year but where isn’t? Wickford Chinese Takeaway is a family treat and Noel’s a tradition for our family. Be nice and they will pay you back with a smile and good food.”
