🫤 Used to be great - really not any more. Always loved a takeaway from here but the sweet and sour chicken was tough and horrible and the chow mien not great. Only thing we enjoyed was the spring rolls. People often mention chicken,

    Last night ordered a takeaway. 2 of our special fried rice was awful. None of the ingredients were chopped up. 1 whole fried egg on top along with 2 large thin pieces of unmarinated chicken with 1 small pork piece. It tasted disgusting. Whoever cooked it last night needs sacking. The vegetarian box was also unedible, all contents were totally stiff. We order from here once every 2 weeks and the ladt few months have been terrible. Totally gone down hill. Will never return again.

    Best Chinese in bolton, very quick with the orders and on time everytkme I call even when very busy, prices have gone up recently however its always good food, only criticism is the plastic containers it would be better to swap to paper

    Don't know what's gone wrong here. The China Palace of old was impressive. Its now gone downhill fast. Ordered a Thai Red Chicken Curry and it was awful. The consistency of the chicken is awful. Really bad. It was obviously really cheap chicken. And it tasted like fish sauce . The Beef with ginger was just about edible but the beef was very chewy. Looked like really cheap beef. Gone downhill and I won't be going back .

    This has been our first choice for Chinese for 20 years. Consistently good quality food and large portion sizes. Everyone we have recommended it too has agreed. The down side, they don't deliver. Also if ordering at the weekend by phone whatever time they give you for it to be ready be prepared to add 10 to 15 minutes wait in the shop. But it's worth it.

    Had the Salt and Pepper chicken. It was just shredded chicken so ne meat. Just fried strips. Hardly any onion, peppers etc. Chips were also overdone. Shame as it is usually good, but had this for a change

    Not the cheapest takeaway, but always excellent quality meals

    Appalling, inedible gloop! Ordered a chicken chow mein, a special chow mein and a chicken in ginger & spring onion. All 3 dishes were bland and tasteless with an unusual, almost transparent, gloopy consistency. All 3 dishes were inedible and got thrown in the bin after just 2 bites. .... This used to be the best chinese takeaway in Bolton - definitely not anymore! I will never order from here again!

    I buy food here almost every week. This is one of the only Chinese Takeaways that will change dishes to suit my Gluten Free diet (I'm a coeliac, not on a silly diet). My wife ordered a different dish to normal, and they actually remembered she was allergic to MSG and told us this over the phone. I think the food is lovely, never had a bad meal yet! If you do find a ingredient that you do not like or a dish is too spicy for your taste buds, tell them when ordering and they will make adjustments to the recipe! Staff are brilliant and very helpful!

    tried this 5 years ago and is my number 1 go to for chinese food to this day. Worth the drive to collect as the food always comes out hot.

    Wonton soup won tons were hard and rubbery. Salt and pepper chicken and ribs were just ribs and chicken wings on top of a bit of flavouring.
