About China Rose
On Elm High Rd in Wisbech, China Rose is a Chinese takeaway serving collection orders on a walk-in basis. Customers ordering in person are prioritised over pre-orders, so arriving directly can mean a shorter wait than phoning ahead. The menu includes a set meal for two, with options to add items such as half a duck. Card payment is accepted alongside cash. Friday and Saturday nights draw heavier demand, with longer waits during those peak hours, and a waiting room is available on site for customers collecting their food.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently single out the set meal for two with half a duck and the seafood dishes as standouts, with many calling it the best Chinese takeaway food they've had, praising huge portions, piping hot food, and quality ingredients. Several note the busy weekend crush, especially New Year's Eve, when waits stretched to an hour or more and one diner described a pre-order not being handed over until an hour after collection time because walk-ins were prioritised. Another reviewer reports orders being mixed up while waiting on site. Despite this, most describe quick, friendly service on regular days and good value. One reviewer notes the surprise of the takeaway accepting card payment, and several say they'd return or already have, with one recommending it strongly to anyone in the area.

“First Chinese meal for a while as fed up with getting home to find I had an incorrect order. Not a problem with the China Rose I hasten to add. Order taken quickly, and after a short wait, we were given the best Chinese food I've had since before Covid. Good quality ingredients with nice meat and seafood. We will be back very soon.”
