Restaurant Chinese restaurant Chinese takeaway

👍👍 Tried it a few years back and it wasn’t great tbh and I was hesitant to go back as I have to travel 10 mile there and back. Since the new owners have took over, it’s the best Chinese takeaway in Newcastle! Believe me I’ve tried them all! The only thing I would say is I normally prefer the fat noodle... People often mention takeaway, Chinese, good, chilli, quality,

    Amazing food, well presented, cooked authentically using the best ingredients, all for a good price. What more could you want.

    Tried it a few years back and it wasn’t great tbh and I was hesitant to go back as I have to travel 10 mile there and back. Since the new owners have took over, it’s the best Chinese takeaway in Newcastle! Believe me I’ve tried them all! The only thing I would say is I normally prefer the fat noodles for chow mein and these do the thin vermicelli noodles, however it’s really nice. Everything I’ve had has been spot on. Chow mein, Crispy honey chilli, curry, creamy black pepper, chilli salt & pepper. The staff don’t bother with building Rapport with the customer but who cares as long as the food is good. Probably because they’re too busy haha. Good thing they don’t deliver otherwise I’d be 20 clem!

    Food is absolutely amazing and consistent which is a big thing for a takeaway. Only thing I’d personally like them to do is deliver.

    Amazing food, so fast and really nice family business. Going above and beyond. This has been a really difficult year for all small businesses. Well done guys. Will be back for more.

    Ordered a meal each for me and the hubby was nice, we ordered salt and chilli pepper prawns to share on top I was really disappointed 😣 they were very overcooked and the batter was chewy and rubbery like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for a couple of hours. Defo not freshly cooked. Waste of a meal.

    Absolutely outstanding meals full of good quality meat, wide selection of fresh vegetables and beautiful sauces. The best takeaway meals we have tried in a long time. The only meal I have disliked from here is the Chicken Chow Mein which was only noodles, minimal beansprouts and chicken with no onions, barely any sauce. It was dry and honestly was more of a side than a main meal. I wouldn't recommend this dish. Unfortunately the chips have been awful, dry, bad bits, thin scrappy and stale the last couple of times we have had them. Have you changed them or changed the process or way you cook them? Or have they been sitting out under a heat lamp? This is such a shame as they spoilt our meals, I spent the entire time picking them out as they were inedible. They used to be beautiful and melt in your mouth, so this is very disappointing. I would come back as the meals are too good, but I'll opt for rice next time.

    Great quality food, reasonably priced. Decent portion sizes. Good, fast service. Shame they don't offer delivery/card payments. However that's only a minor inconvenience

  • 5/5 Adam J. 1 year ago on Google
    By far the best Chinese around, when it's open I simply won't go anywhere else, the only downside is no delivery. but the quality of the food is worth it

  • 5/5 Chris 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best Chinese takeaways in Newcastle! Usually there’s always something not quite right with a Chinese takeaway, whether that is the wait times, food quality or service.. but this is the best!

    Tried this shop a few times now. King prawn with chilli & garlic was lovely. However for the love of god stay away from any of the deep friend dishes unless you want footed with a £200 dentist bill. Chicken in batter, sweet & sour chicken Hong Kong style & chilli salt & pepper chicken absolutely inedible. Rock solid you could throw them & put a window out. Chicken so overcooked dry, stringy & chewy. Chilli dish even though I asked for it mild was covered with an absolute ton of the hottest chilli flakes. No more chances off to try elsewhere.

    Best Chinese food ive had, great service and good prices. We always look forward to our Friday evening takeaway.

    I've just gone and found my new favourite Chinese takeaway! The quality of the food from Mandarin is exceptional, and also beautifully presented. Was ready on arrival and piping hot when I got back home. Five stars for this place. If I could give a sixth I would. They're not on Just Eat and they don't deliver, but that's a good thing because it saves both the takeaway and the customer money. I've got no problem at all phoning an order in and going to collect it.
