Popped in on the way home and ordered 2 meals to be delivered. I can honestly say it's the worst Chinese meal I have ever experienced. The curry sauce was a peculiar khaki green colour, slightly sweet, congealed and cold. The rice was OK but far too much of it and was also cold. I suspect that both rice and curry sauce had been reheated, although not very well. The cost of £25, including delivery which was less than a mile was exorbitant. You live and learn and I have learnt not to repeat this experience. Don't waste your money, just buy a chilled meal from a supermarket, it'll cost less and you'll be able to eat it.

It was certainly a good idea to place an order, since everything was delicious and ready at the time we ordered it. Very friendly staff. Totally recommended.

I ordered a meal for collection on Friday, I collected the meal and the staff were not very friendly. I headed of home to enjoy my meal. I had pork with mushrooms which turned out to be pork with vegetables and a few extra mushrooms that was different to the rest of the dish. The chicken curry had been pre cooked then warmed in a microwave and was split, cold and rubber chicken. I also had pork noodles and pork fried rice which again was barely warm and seemed pre cooked as they had a fridge smell and flavour. If they are not going to cook fresh they should say on the menu so people can go to Iceland and get a better take out.

After hour and half and three calls it arrived cold and had to send back to China cottage who now won’t refund me and are rude and not helpful and not apologetic at all .Children left with no dinner and £40 out of pocket AVOID AT ALL COSTS .

Decent Chinese and delivery is always prompt in my experience. I highly recommend the hot and sour soup and the Mongolian crispy pork. The salt and garlic chicken is excellent too but the salt in the name is not lying to you.

Ordered a food delivery last night. Expensive and absolutely dreadful. Never again!
Tara Osborne, and
During our stay in Shaftsbury we wanted a Chinese. After reading the mixed reviews we were a little unsure. But i must say it's one of the nicest Chineses we have had. Food was piping hot when it arrived, it was very tasty and super quick delivery.Highly recommend to anyone who is unsure.You will not regret it
Can only pay on cash and PayPal :(House chow mien stinks :(Singapore noodle was sound :)Chicken balls was a dub with lots of great sauce :)The ribs were soaked in sauce yet somehow dry and had no meat :(The Mongolian chicken was flames :)Prawn crackers were ight :/Mid would go againOnly go if you hungryWheelchair accessibility: My mate couldn’t get in there’s a step

I used to love getting a takeaway from here.Nowadays however, you never know if your food will have the same quality as last time you’ve ordered. It’s always a lucky dip. I have had amazing food and I have had food that wasn’t so great + cold.Moreover, this is the 2nd or 3rd time now within 6 months that the prices have massively increased.What used to be a fairly reasonable Chinese takeaway is just overpriced now.You might as well go out eating in a restaurant and end up paying less P.p.I do know that inflation is a massive thing right now in the UK. However the price increase of £3 -£3.50 PER dish within 6 months is unreasonable.The prices at this Chinese rise faster than the highstreet prices.Just extremely expensive!Unfortunately I will not order from here anymore and order elsewhere in Shaftesbury/Gillingham which really is a shame as I have regularly ordered here over the past 5 years.

Always order from here, been a loyal customer for years. Only ever had 1 issue and that was during covid which I’m sure we could all agree, 1 issue in many years of great service is nothing.Always recommend for their customer service, freshness of food and range on the menu.
Ribs and noodles recommended!!
