Best KPortal Reviews
Had a take away last night and it's was disgusting and we threw half of it away. It put me of Chinese. I don't normally do bad reviews and joy king used to be nice but that was terrible. Over cooked apart from the duck which was horrendous. Small portions and tasteless. I would have took it back if I hadn't been working 12 hours. Hopefully they get better but we won't be trying it for a while
Love the thin prawn crackers and the noodles. Also the curry sauce is lovely but a little to hot for me . Egg fried rice can sometimes be a bit mushy but has improved. Really nice people who have worked hard there for years
I ordered over the phone, service was sufficient and quick.
However, noodles were tasteless with a lack of meat, I had ordered chefs special chowmein.
Chicken balls were lumps of tough slimey battered mush
Prawn toast was quite possibly the worst I’ve ever had, rock hard, greasy and inedible.
Won’t be using joy king again …
Not sure what has changed but the food has nose dived. Stripped ribs in a tasteless gloop, you’d have to gnaw off any meat like a starved caveman to get anything. Other dishes just had a chilli sauce added to get any flavour even when it was meant to be a non spicy dish and was also burnt flavoured, shredded chicken was big tough strips of plastic…the whole thing was inedible.
We came here for a quick lunch with over an hour a half to spare before our theatre shows, ordered dim sum and mains. The mains came, we wanted to save our appetite for the dim sum, told them we were in a rush, can we take the rest of our mains away (they charged 50p per container, but OK)
Several minutes later they asked will that be all? I told them we were waiting for dim sum. I should've cancelled at this point, but made the mistake of politely asking unless they're on their way?
Five minutes, she lied. This was confirmed when another lady came to say the server had crashed and our order hadn't gone through. Again I tried to cancel but she assured five minutes.
To speed things along, I paid up, so we could eat quickly and rush off. This was a mistake as they clearly hadn't started preparing our order, just wanted to keep our money.
Almost 25 minutes, we put our coats on and started to leave (regretting already paid) when the food arrived. My daughter politely asked them to pack it quickly (lucky for them they didn't dare try to charge 50p per container again) and handed it us with no apology.
Dim sum isn't something that keeps and we didn't want to smell out the theatre, so we handed a homeless person 35 pounds worth of dumplings.
What bothers me most is when I told the lady we ordered our food ages ago I got the response "yeah yeah yeah"
Left a sour and definitely not sweet taste to our theatre outing
The food from this establishment is next level 3rd world. I'm genuinely astonished this place has managed to stay open. If it wasn't for the fact the other Chinese in ivybridge wasn't open we never would have ordered. I genuinely question where these get their ingredients from because an icelands microwave meal would of been better. Do not order from these lot!!!
Cold food. Stale prawn crackers. Re fried chicken in the chicken balls. Sauce pots tiny. The noodles tasted like shoe laces on the special chow mien and was cold. Won’t be ordering again. Was a waste of £25
Tastless food, small portions. Not nice at all. It completely lacks flavour.
