We move to Leighton Buzzard just less then year ago. We try almost all local chinese restaurants and SKY 8 straight stay our favourite!!!! All food spot on with flavor, pipping hot and on time. Contact with restaurant great. I recommend it wholeheartedly!!!

My husband and I have been trying to eat healthy and lose weight. Once a month we have a treat meal. This months one was Chinese. Our usual Chinese is closed for a refurb so we tried Sky8. I can honestly say it’s the worst I’ve ever eaten. It was old dry and reheated. A real waste of calories and of £45. Very disappointing

Dont normally leave a review, however we had friends round and the food was amazing. The regular lady delivered who normally delivers in the week too (petit lady with a big white car) she is very polite and always smiling. Thank you.Highly recommend ?

*Edit - thank you to the restaurant for your reply - I’ve bumped the service up to 4 stars as the restaurant immediately tried to get in touch to offer a refund or credit, which I won’t accept but I appreciate the gesture - I can’t stand customers who complain just to get a free meal. They clearly care about the standard of service they are offering and I’ll give it another try on a less busy day and will amend the food rating accordingly when I do so - for anyone else ordering, it may be worth trying for collection on busy days thus avoiding a busy delivery route. Thanks!Original review:Pretty disappointing. First time ordering, rang up 20 minutes after I originally ordered to see if I could add a curry sauce but they told me my food was already out for delivery - absolutely fair enough. Food arrived 40 minutes later so it was out for delivery for over 40 minutes - needless to say the food was almost cold. The delivery driver didn’t offer change so the order was rounded up - I could have probably asked for the extra 2 quid but it was easier just to take the ten change - again I wouldn’t have minded if the food had been up to scratch. It tasted fresh enough but the pancake roll was burnt inside where it hadn’t been sealed properly and the bean sprouts had caught. The chow mein was just about warm if a little lacking in flavour but the pancake roll and crispy beef were stone cold. Busy Saturday I can imagine and I appreciate they need to double up on deliveries but 40 minutes in transit is a bit of a killer for any hot dish.

Got a pick up order, which unfortunately was missing a chow mein once we got home(mistakes happen). However one phone call and 15 minutes later it was delivered to my door and the food was one of the best in Leighton I've had In a while. Can't fault

Just had a take away meal - not great. Broccoli was caked in soggy batter - could not tell the diffence between that and the “crispy” squid. The crispy chilli beef again was soft rather than crisp and covered with artificial colouring. Below average. Tasted like it was all cooked in 4 day old oil. If you want a Chinese takeaway I would go to Shan Shui and which is better - still, you have to try these things to know for sure.! Won’t be going back for a second time.!

Good, hot food. Quick delivery. Can cater for gluten free too.

No, no, no, cheap pork, small portions, attitude problem. These guys are terrible when it’s busy. Chicken skewers with hardly any peanut sauce, like not even enough to half coat 1 skewer. The pork ribs tasted as bad as they smelled, they went in the bin. The chips were expensive and the equivalent of a small portion. The whole meal was a total waste of £60. I will never ever go here again. Anyone considering it, there are plenty of other Chinese takeaway in the local area, I will not be used g sky 8 again. They are the worst in the area now. Read the review replied. They threaten customers. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE….

No sorry. Just no. While I have had good food here . This time it was disgusting. The pork ribs are terrible, bbq sauce like water. The pork meat is cheap here and always tastes off. I will never go back. Everything was bad this weekend… the whole meal. Waste of money. They cannot cope on busy nights and the quality slips down the pan. I’m going back to jasmine house. The menu is not as big but the food is a much higher standard. Just read the reviews, they blacklist people for telling the truth… yukky.

After 16 attempts at trying to call have decided to get Domino's instead. Try stepping into the 21st century online ordering or heaven forbid a second phone line.
Normally order from them on a regular basis but after today never again! Tried to place an order but the woman kept saying what what every time I spoke she then said “do you want your bloody order or not!” We hung up due to how rude she was we then rang back and she said we will not deliver to you only collection for you!

Been using sky 8 for past few years and usually very good. had some issues with food temperature on arrival but other than that no issues. Not had missing items in over 100+ meals. very pleasant on phone.

We ordered over the phone from a menu which was up to date online. After ordering I confirmed the price with the lady on the phone of £30.20p. The problem was when the food arrived they asked for £40.20p. I called them back up thinking a fault had occurred their end but no. Suspiciously it was exactly £10 more expensive. I did not have the extra on me and bizarrely the lady then asked me to remove one dish ?? Why would we leave one person with out food. Never again will we order from this establishment. It seems very dodgy these days.
