AVOID - raw chicken, should be shut down.

Ben Lambert

Incompetent staff. Really backwards reception staff. Especially the man who worked

It would be five if the delivery was quicker but the food itself is a 5/5 I would say the best Chinese I’ve had so far. The best food I ordered that are worth ordering again is the pancake rolls, prawn toast and sweet and sour chicken balls. I would definitely recommend and will order from again!

Ordered our Chinese at 6:50pm. Called after an hour and 10 minutes at 8pm, to understand that they hadn’t even started the order and made a mistake (if I weren’t to call we would have never recieved it). Then waited another 20 mins for it to arrive for it to be the worst Chinese we’ve ever eaten. All dishes were flavourless and horrid. Never will order again, such a bad experience and overall expensive

For many years this was my go to takeaway, never an issue. The last 3 orders have been horrific and I now will never return (found out it is since new owners). My meals have been un edible. The “chicken” in the main dishes is the consistency of a gelatin like spongey watery foam. This has been the same on 3 orders months apart. There is no way this is chicken or 100% chicken, got told by health inspectors they suspect paste imitation chicken stuff. Everyone the whole meal has had to be thrown out because this is so disgusting its made us all feel unwell. They also stopped giving out prawn crackers and the delivery is way behind the time given.

By far the best Chinese in Brentwood. Hot, tasty food combined with quick and charming delivery. Definitely recommended.

Ordered takeaway via Just Eat. Never arrived despite app telling me it had. Rang shop, left hanging on for twenty minutes. They clearly didn't give a damn. Awful attitude, will not use again. Trying to get refund from Just Eat.

Nearly 2 hours for delivery, arrived cold, drinks were missing, massive hair wrapped in our chow mein, disgusting food and experience. Don’t waste you money here

We've had 2 takeaways from TKE this week & have thoroughly enjoyed both of them! I love that they bother to have vegan options & the food both times has been hot, tasty & full of flavour. Highly recommended

Oh Caroline

where do i start, the food was on par with that of which Remy from rattatltutfr would cook minus the French rat and instead a bunch of Chinese chefs. I ordered the beef chow mein and upon a swift delivery i promptly dropped it on the floor as I was amazed by the quality of it, i had to let the floor try some. The geezers behind the counters were sound. Hooray up the kitchen express please order very good very cheap lots of yummy food to eat

Placed an order on Deliveroo called up 45 minutes later to find out where my order was and they said we don’t deliver to me ?Claimed he called but never did!Terrible service, unhelpful and just plain rude.

4.5 reviews on Deliveroo, wish we checked Google reviews first!! Everything tasted microwaved, anaemic chicken balls, bland rice, weird sauce on chilli beef, ribs with 5% meat, even the curry sauce tasted like a powder packet from Iceland. And this is the first Chinese takeaway I've come across that don't give you free prawn crackers?! £40 later and my belly is still rumbling :) do not recommend.
