Chinese takeaway in Ambleside. We went for the set dinner for 2 which is only £25. (Cash only mind!) Spring rolls were proper size and full, very good. Ribs decent size and meaty. Chicken sweet&sour was pretty good, as was beef in black bean. Both with reasonable amounts of meat. Rice was really good with plenty of shrimp and pork in. Very quick service. There doesn't seem to be any way to order online and as we had no phone signal, we just popped in, ordered then went up the road to the pub for a quick ale before collecting. Takeaway chinese can be very hit and miss as you've paid for your food and taken it, before you get to see what you've been served. This was pretty good. Certainly better than the other Ambleside offering. Good value for money. We ate every single bit of it!

Very nice food. Lots of choice on the menu. The food was tasteful with plenty of meat in the dishes. Prawns large in dishes. My only issue is the cash only system they have.

Tues night, 7 pm and it's packed.....the team soon sorted everyone out and we were off home by 7.15. Crispy beef/noodles/rice. All spot on. Will be back.

I nipped here for a take a way while I was was staying local and it was a good one. I had veggie spring rolls, stir fried mushroom with garlic and egg fried rice. It was very tasty.

Quick service, food was piping hot and the special curry had a good mix of fresh ingredients. Curry sauce could have been a bit thicker and spicier, but really enjoyed it. Worth a visit.

Bland, watery and tasteless food We complained and were told as we had eaten some they couldn’t refund!? We had to taste so to see how bad it was!

Good tasty food (Singapore noodles and Kung Bo) and decent quantities at reasonable price

Exactly what you’re looking for in a Chinese takeaway- really tasty food, 5* hygiene rating, quick service and good price! We ordered food for 2 people for tea which came to just less than £10pp. Food was ready within 10 minutes of ordering on a busy Saturday night in the middle of summer! Do note there isn’t much space inside to wait so on a rainy day we would recommend preordering or bring an umbrella to wait outside! Also remember it’s cash only!
I ordered a couple of portions of salt and pepper chips here and they were great. Very generous portions and the chips were nice and crispy with lots of flavor. Will definitely call in here again. Please note that they only accept cash, so come prepared.

Ordered a big order on the phone to this place after arriving to our staycation location, despite the big order they were very friendly and didn't forget anything, only issue was that we had to pay in cash haha but luckily I had brought quite a few large banknotes with me. Food was as good as you expect and nice servings, also got lots of the fried rice crisps, a nice late night takeaway.
