Gutted to say that after our experience on Friday night we won’t be ordering again. Sands was our ‘go to’ Chinese as it was the best in the area but we spent almost £30 and the food was inedible. Apparently they’ve recently changed ownership. The chicken balls were stodgy and rubbery. The sweet and sour pork Hong Kong style was awful, barely any meat in it anymore and what was in it was grey and very tough. I also ordered salt and pepper chilli squid some pieces were undercooked and some pieces were so tough I couldn’t bite through it. Very disappointing, won’t be ordering again sadly.

Quality of food is not very good. Especially the curry But overall, most of the food I’ve had way better in most places But the service is good and delivery is good

Possibly the worst food I’ve ever payed for, chicken was on the brink of being revived , the curry sauce was just a tablespoon of brown water on the rice , and the entire lot got binned , last time I order from

Ordered online and said a time, got there a bit early but only took a couple of minutes. Food was a good portion size and still hot when I got home. Had the vegetable curry which was delicious with plenty of veg in there. My steamed rice was lovely too. Have used Sands many times for my currys and never had a problem.

The best chinese around, but it’s a shame they’re not a restaurant anymore. This was our go to place to have a family meal out and it sucks we don’t have that anymore. Still food is great and always delivered quickly.

Let's start with the good, having not ordered a takeaway for a long time from here (it use to be my go too,.just not had the money of late) I went for it tonight, hungry and couldn't be bothered to cook ! Ordered the prawn toast, sweet and sour chicken balls, satay prawns on skewers special.rice and my fav a large spring roll and extra sweet and sour sauce, got the bag of prawn crackers for free. It was hot, it was on time, the prawn skewers, I ate two they were quite nice. The chicken balls, took one bite and that was enough for me, it just didn't taste right, slimy chicken and just a rubbish taste, the rest remain in the bag, the sauce watery, like it had been thinned down. Prawn toast, okay, slightly over done but tasty. Didn't even bother with the rice after I went to my spring roll, no taste except for grease,it was stuck to the bag with just grease, when it used to be so crunchy and yummy..vile taste still hanging in my mouth now and is all I can smell... all in all a total let down for the 30 odd quid I paid, whatever happened to that great takeaway that once was ! I for one won't be recommending or going back again

Food is delicious, only 4 star's because they are no longer a dine in restaurant only take away. We were looking forward to dine in.
