The food was OK but very veg heavy. The sweet and sour chicken only had 8 small pieces of chicken on top of a mountain of vegetables and the beef in black bean wasn't much better. The chips I do not believe were fried and tasted like oven chips with flavouring, but the rainbow rice was nice. Overall, the mains were slightly on the bland side, it was nice enough but there is definitely better options out the. The starters were actually better than the mains, the satay chicken was loverly and the crispy shredded chicken was decent but combined with the very small glasses of coke they sell I couldn't help but feel it wasn't a very good return on value which had the quality been 10/10 I wouldn't have minded but again the quality wasn't quite there either. Overall I rate it a 7/10 and place it somewhere in he middle of all the Derby Chinese restaurants I have tried (5/6th place maybe). Not convinced I will be returning.

Very relaxed and welcoming, food not only fresh but excellent, the best crispy duck I have ever had!

I have a very acute gluten intolerance and have not enjoyed a Chinese meal of any kind for seven years, a real loss for me as my partner and son both really enjoy this cuisine. Tonight we enjoyed a fully shared meal expertly cooked with waiting and kitchen staff highly aware of knowledgeable of allergens. The Zing Vaa keeps separate fryers for gluten, non-gluten and sesame, ensuring their diners can enjoy the widest range of their menu at once. If you usually can;t eat Chinese food because of allergies give the Zing Vaa a go, I was more than impressed, and we will certainly be going back,

We went in early evening and the place was empty to be expected, however this did not matter the lady at front of house anticipated our needs and made us feel so welcome.The food came in generous portions cooked very well, piping hot and absolutely delicious with every mouth full.Would go again and so happy we have found this lovely little gem.Nice perk was car park at the back too!Thankyou for a lovely evening.Dietary restrictions: Have their menu clearly labelled and covers I would say nearly all allergens.First thing the front of house team asked too.Very accommodatingParking: Parking to the rear of the restaurant - drive slowly as could miss it

We had a fabulous takeaway this evening. My mum lives locally and the Zing Vaa always cooked and make delicious food. It is fresh, tasty, well presented and good value for money. The lady who served me was very polite and lovely. Thanks so much ??

Never been here before, but we live nearby and thought we'd give it a try on the way home. You can't see the inside from the outside, so I didn't really know what to expect. We parked across the road in the co-op and headed over. In the end it was a casual, relaxed atmosphere, nothing fancy, which I like. It was a Friday night, but not too busy, which was good as the waitress appeared to be alone. She was very friendly and attentive. The menu is fairly priced. We ordered Peking style spare ribs, chicken Cantonese style, special chow mein, egg fried rice and pineapple fritters. The food came out in good time, the portions were good and it was all enjoyed. No complaints. You get a complimentary orange to cleanse the palate after your food and two sweets with your bill. We left with a takeaway menu hoping we have finally found a decent Chinese takeaway in the area. . .

The food was poor. Would not go back. Sauces were watery and the squid was so tough we couldn't cut it with a knife. Chef said if he cooked another one it would be the same ??

Excellent food and service. The portions were very generous and sadly we couldn't finish it all. The food that we chose was delicious - the best we have tasted for a long time.

Walked in on Saturday evening, they were busy, had to wait 10 minutes for a table, that’s expected at peak hours. It was well worth the wait, food came out piping hot, generous portions! Everything tasted delicious & fresh. Was one of the best Chinese restaurants we’ve been too.

Used to visit regularly, but hadn't for a few years, so tried a takeaway - and to be fair the food was nice. However the website states 10% discount for takeaways - which wasn't applied. When we queried this we were told it applies to cash only - which is not made clear - and no, they would not do a refund. Poor customer service, so will not be going back.
