    Awful service! Made an order at 7pm on sunday evening, which was scheduled for 7.30 to 7.50 but never received my order. In fact, I tried to call the restaurant multiple of times with DIFFERENT phones but the line was cut each time! I was really hungry so I ended up ordering from a different restaurant, only to find out 3 hours later that Modern Wing had CANCELLED my order. I tried to contact Uber Eats multiple of times for a refund, but they denied me the refund because they claimed I cancelled the food myself, which I never did. I patiently waited for the food, simply awful service! I lost around 17 pounds on fraud. Unacceptable!!

    I don’t know why this place has so many bad reviews. Their food is delicious and you can choose different portions as well which is absolutely great! I ordered from here twice on UberEats and both times I loved it!! 😍

    Not sure why they have poor reviews, perhaps they’ve had a change of management lately? I have been ordering off Deliveroo in the last few months and takeaway has been fine. Good value for money and the food hits the spot!

    This place is most likely a money laundering business. Look at all the bad reviews they have of people ordering food and not getting it. The good reviews they have are all suspicious as the profiles only have one review. Their shop is never busy and opens and closes at the most random times. They are also on ubereats under multiple different names. Very very suspicious.

    Food is delicious every time. By far the best Chinese delivery I can get in Bow. Will also do all the vegetarian / tofu versions if you call. I’ve been getting takeaway from here for 16ish years.

    I asked for two combos: 1. King Prawn fried rice with chilli beef 2. Chicken fried rice with sweet & sour chicken (strips) Instead I got: 1. King Prawn fried rice with sweet & sour chicken (strips) 2. Chicken fried rice with chicken, ginger and onions … The food itself tastes nice but obviously not what I asked for and so our ideal evening meal is ruined. Giving 1 star for Service for that.

    Goes by many different names on food delivery apps but the address will always be the same and the food speaks for itself.

    This place wasn't my regular Chinese takeaway, but it might be now! The food is very nice in my opinion - I recommend the beef in mushroom sauce, but everything we've received from here has been good. Not sure why it's getting bad reviews; delivery time has been for me sometimes better, sometimes worse (ordering through Just Eat). But overall I'm very happy with this place.

    I liked their food. Better to order directly from their shop as prices vary online. I liked the taste, quantity and quality as well. Very reasonable.

    My friend ordered food for me from this place because I was ill. And they never delivered the food and took my friend's money and they never picked up their phone. Crooks! Avoid at all costs!

    Hi, anyone that's wondering if the foods good or clean I can tell you one thing. I'd rate it 4.8/5 the food is top for Chinese and cannot get a better place then here A nice takeaway order with the lads. And mates the guys there tip top people 5 star for these guys. And the guy I don't know his name but he has nike glasses and looks like a bengali bit shorter than average height. Mate he was treating me for a drink as my food was only 7 mins late .

    Not sure why the bad reviews. I ordered from Uber Eats after a long night shift. Delivery was exactly on time and food was of a good standard. Very tasty. Thankyou.

    K so I ordered some hot and sour soup from this Chinese spot the other night on Uber Eats to chew on. The soup hit just right - the chicken was so tender and you could totally tell it was fresh, unlike the frozen stuff. The spice master needs a bonus 'cause the flavors were straight fire. When I noticed they didn't have fortune cookies on the app, I decided to ask very nicely in the notes if they'd be so kind as to toss some in. And fam, they really came in clutch and delivered the cookies too! Appreciate them fulfilling my cookie destiny, for real. I can't make sense of why they have negative feedback on here tho? The food quality was prime time and I felt respected as a customer with that small cookie gesture. If you're looking to satisfy your Chinese food feeling, I'd instantly order from them again. This spot deserves way more hype fam!

    DO NOT ORDER Biggest waste of 20 quid. I was looking through reviews of places around east London and on just eat it came up as 4.2. Ordered salt and pepper chicken and fried rice. The chicken is basically all batter, when I bite into it there’s only a single strand of chicken. They must be using a potato peeler to cut the chicken because it’s a joke. Then the fried rice just wasn’t fried. The curry chip I ordered was also like one solid block of tasteless sauce and potato. Smells weird and I’m raging. Could’ve ordered anything else and I’d be happy but I’ve wasted my money. Idk where any good reviews come from bc I know it’s easy to make any Chinese better than this.

  • 5/5 Dan G. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm wondering if this place is under new management after reading the reviews from a while ago. my nearest Chinese and tbf I've only had a couple of problems and these were sorted pretty quick, never wait more than an hour and the food is spot on. They do however have a habit of forgetting things but justeat refund with no problems so no big issue really

    Super tasty food, low rating because of people not happy with delivery but that’s nothing to do with the restaurant! I ordered crispy sesame chicken- was really nice, crispy, fresh Prawn crackers- 10/10 Dumpling soup came very hot and fresh! And rice not dry Plus I ordered at 3am and no issues Recommend!!

    The food was absolutely atrocious!!!! All the food smelt really bad and looked worse! I can’t pin point the smell but it was vomit inducing. Didn’t smell like sweet and sour or Thai red curry! Sweet and sour did not exist in this soup it just smelt very bad! The Thai red curry was all congealed and slimy, the chicken chow mein most definitely did not look or taste like it. Brown and stogy with a few slices of onions. On top of that it’s soo over priced and took a long time to make!
