Best KPortal Reviews
We decided to celebrate a birthday at the Mayflower, as we hadn't been there for a while. We heard rumours that it wasn't very good service but the rumours couldn't have been more wrong. The food was superb and the staff were so cheerful and attentive. We had a great evening.
Our first time and not the last time!! We were very happy with the prompt service and the friendliness of the waitress. Food was delicious, hot and fresh. I look forward to my next visit.
Ordered a Chinese as a treat for my family Phone through the order and went to pick it up. Got it back home and there was items of the meal that were missing phoned and spoke to a woman who basically didn’t care less told us to come back and pick up the items that were missing which took another 20 minutes so went back to the restaurant. Basically a heartfelt apology didn’t really care that the rest of the meal that we spent £60 on was going to be cold never order from this place again.
This restaurant/takeaway is an institution in Kidlington. It's been around for decades! Reasonable food with friendly service quickly cooked. Takeaway orders can be phoned in or you can pop in yourself and sit and wait.
Been eating from here for years, but sadly never again as the last 2 or 3 takeaways we've had have been sub standard, and our family have reported similar experiences of late. Inevitably, tonight's meal was the massive steel girder that broke the camel's back.
I paid a whopping £47 for a quarter crispy duck, pepper beef, Cantonese style chicken, 1 plain rice, 1 plain noodles, mini spring rolls and prawn crackers. 4 years ago, that would have cost £33... cost of living crisis yes, but 42% more expensive? Come on.
As for food itself, regrettably most of the dishes were near inedible, and we simply threw them away after a few mouthfuls. The beef in pepper sauce was grey, chewy and bland. The Cantonese style chicken was tough and barely had any sweet and sour sauce. The noodles were overdone and greasy. The duck was nice though, at least they can still do that, despite the miniscule pot of plum sauce and meagre amount of spring onions.
I'm genuinely very sad to be writing this after so many years of good food. Here's hoping they sort themselves out and get back to old ways.
The food was amazing and the prices were very reasonable. It was also quick table service with very friendly staff. The food was served quickly and hot. Inside the restaurant was beautiful.
I've had takeaway from the Mayflower just about every week for the past three years, and have eaten in the restaurant maybe a dozen times. The food is consistently good – I'm a big fan of the black bean tofu right now – and the staff are lovely. Sure, it's not cheap, but I guess these places are having to choose between raising prices and going out of business, and I know which I'd prefer.
Food was amazing but the restaurant was too cold, the staff even more. We requested if the heating could be turned on, the lady said she would turn the heating up but did nothing. We were cold even after eating soup for starters and sipping tea. We decided to end our meal at starters only.
Understand that cost of living has hit everyone but that does not mean restaurants resort to such level of cost cutting.
Will Not Return.
