The first time I have been here in about 3 or 4 years due to the absolutely terrible and inedible food I was served back then.
(not sure if I could technically call it "food" though)
Tonight I thought that I'd wing it, test out a few small dishes and see if there has been any changes...
I ordered Salt & Pepper Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken (Hong Kong Style) Chicken Chow Mein, Pork Balls and some Prawn Crackers. Obviously not the most exotic of selections, but I didn't want to risk getting a bad meal again and throwing money down the drain.
The S&P chicken was good. Not too much chilli and the perfect amount of salt, garlic and onions. Maybe more similar sized chunks of chicken would've made it better. (8/10)
The S&S chicken was nice, but the sauce was extremely vibrant and quite possibly borderline radioactive ???? I did like the fresh, raw onion though. Added a nice amount of crunch. (7/10)
The chicken chow mein had a nice, smoky vibe to it, and the perfect ratio of noodle, chicken and been sprouts. (8/10)
The Pork Balls were all a bit too smooth and uniform in shape, rather than a little bit rugged around the edges. It gave me a "pre-made" vibe, although I highly doubt this was the case.
Pork to batter ratio could definitely have been better. (6.5/10)
Prawn Crackers were spot on too. A nice amount of crunch, a good portion in a bag too! No massive complaints. (9.5/10)
Overall, a reasonably surprising visit back to The Take Away House. It definitely could do with a lick of paint and freshening up, smokers from next door could be a bit more courteous and smoke away from the open door, and people waiting inside could be a bit more aware of their surroundings and move out of the way of the area where you order whilst drunkenly chomping on prawn crackers. But what can you do?
The food was good, not great, not amazing. But definitely a night and day difference between the slop I was served 3 or 4 years ago.
At first I was hesitant to try it but people were saying that the food has improved so gave it a go ——- SO GOOD! ????????????
So far, we’ve ordered:
1. Salt and Pepper Squid - MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE ???????????????? sooo good! a bit greasy but love the flavour and the spicyness —- and the squid was perfectly cooked ????????????????????????
2. Duck Chow Mein —- Loved it too…
3. Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs and Chicken —- was also so good! ✨✨✨
4. The big spring roll was so so —- I felt like it needs some flavour…
Will definitely come back frequently ✨✨✨✨✨✨
I really enjoyed the chow mein however always being charged different for the exact same food we order every time.
If I’m honest I feel so sorry for the women behind the counter after sharing her story of the sick man who took advantage of her! Heart breaking!
Thought I’d give it a try again after being disappointed by the quality of the food every time. Usually travel if ever we decide on Chinese.
Wow this food wasn’t fit for human consumption, they literally made it in 4 minutes which says a lot. Worst Chinese I’ve ever had, awful flavour, texture and was worried I may get ill. How this business survives I don’t know as it is always empty. The usual place we go to has a 30-45 minute wait for food (on a good day).
Won’t ever go back, food ended up in the bin.
Lovely meal. Quick service.
We have had take away from here twice, and on both occasions we had service with a smile and the food was very tasty. Would recommend it
The best Chinese food around, family run takeaway and been using them for 20+ years and never had a problem. Erik and Sandy are so nice to get along with. They also do great fish and chips. Highly recommended.
Tried this for the first time since new people came in. Nowhere near to the standard before. Kung po chicken very watery, king prawn balls half cooked and the sweet and sour sauce not the same. The only thing that was still ok was the spring roll. Food served in plastic tubs so got cold very quickly, had to heat up in microwave! Won’t be going back, it’s really sad ☹️
