The best restaurants serving Chinese food in England

Staff and regulars are always friendly

Lovely Chinese (coming from a person who isn't a lover of a Chinese takeaway) highly recommend the duck

The best salt and pepper chicken in Tameside

Classic Chinese cannot be beaten.

Fantastic takeaway very nice staff .If you ordering on a Saturday place your order in early afternoon as Tey get so busy.

Our local takeaway of choice - and we have several to choose. Good food, wide variety; beware of the waiting at peak times - the deliveries and phone orders will fly out of the door while you’re standing (or sitting) waiting.

Visiting family and friends in Portsmouth again so decided to go to my favourite Chinese takeaway in Portsmouth. I was a bit worried after seeing the recent reviews, but nothing to worry about. Service and food is still great as it’s always been. My sesame prawn on toast was a generous portion of minced prawns on the toast and just so tasty. I also had the house special chow mein, which had a lots of delicious vegetables in as well as chicken , prawns and pork. The other members of my family also loved their dishes. The young girl serving me was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I suspect the reviews from some of other people obviously don’t enjoy freshly cooked food. They probably like food enhanced with artificial flavouring like MSG. I go to Pearl of the Orient because I enjoy tasting food as it should be and not over seasoned with MSG . I actually get bad headaches from food that has MSG so I so glad Pearl of the Orient caters for people like me.

This place is top notch, delivered to Welford which is a fair way, food was fresh, tasty and hot and fast delivery. Highly recommended.

Always a friendly welcome from the head cook. Food is always good and well made.

It’s the only place we get our food from. The owners are amazing, very friendly and always there’s a smile with the service. My favourites are the Lemon Chicken, Chow Mein and the dumplings are awesome!

Great food as always, service e with a smile or laugh. Order on the phone ,always ready for collection my favorite take away in loughton

Absolutely disgusting got a share box came a hour late was inedible and from the slight bit I managed to eat I got food poisoning

I am writing this review having visited the restaurant on a Saturday night when you would expect it to be very busy. There was an initial wait to be seated of around about 45 minutes, this was more due to lack of staff rather than tables not being available. Once seated the two staff in the restaurant clearly couldn’t cope with the amount of table covers and again we waited a long time for the food order to be taken. Then there was a big wait between each course and for plates to be collected etc. it was clear to everyone that there needed to be more staff on shift (clearly we don’t know what had gone on here, maybe there was staff sickness or something unpredictable) but if this is normal, it simply means poor customer service. In my view the food was ok, the starters were a reasonable quality as was the duck course. The mains were small portions but you could order as much food as you wanted so this wasn’t really a problem. Only that it took a long time to make a reorder. What I would say is that the sweet and sour chicken dish could have had more sauce and the sauce was a little thin but this is me being picky really. Fairly good value. For me if they could just get the staffing right I would happily go back but I wouldn’t go again and put up with the wait and the lack of staff experienced on my first visit as it has put me off in truth.

The best Chinese in the area, and the food is perfect. However, as it's popular expect to wait a while, even if given a set time

Thanks for all delicious Chinese food noodles boxes and salt &pepper dish is more popular.
