    Overview - The food was better than good but not wowing. We eat and enjoyed everything we had, and felt the price was fair for the quality of food. We would easily revisit this restaurant. .......... We hadn't booked and the restaurant was packed when my wife and I walked in but the management managed to find/make some space for both. We liked : Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. The price for good sized set meal (We paid £24 each - this includes tea/coffee) Not feeling rushed. Our dinner taking about 2 1/2 hours. (Which we wanted on a night out without our children) The filter coffee. Not so good bits: Ordered drinks, only for the same waitress to ask us 5minutes later if we want to order any drink. If I wanted to split hairs I'd say the sirloin steak in the sizzling dish wasn't the best bit of steak, and was over cooked.

    I don’t recommend this place . We had take away yesterday and the portions was way to small and the chicken was chewy also not much test to the food . But what annoyed me the most we payed a lot of money and they give as like kids portions of food in very small aluminium boxes . We had Chinese from different restaurants and they never give us such small portions . I don’t know if them portions are like this or they been greedy on our order . Anyway I will never order from them again .

    We have eaten at the House of Delight several times and had a great experience every time. By far, the busiest restaurant in town, and it's easy to see why.

    What a great place, very friendly staff, we had a great experience and will come back again in the future. All dishes were beautifully presented, tasty, hot and the service was impeccable. My favourite dish is hot and sour soup, the best that I have ever eaten. Thoroughly recommend for a special evening.

    Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. Good service, reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 ED F. 1 year ago on Google
    Thr food is absolutely amazing! It tastes amazing, I've never had a bad mouthful in that restaurant. The staff are so friendly, accommodating and extremely good at their job. Customer service is 100%. If you're disabled and need adjustments or extra support, they're only too happy to help. Even with parking. They allowed me to park against their gate outside because of my disabled nan because there was no street parking avaliable. The main manager is just delightful. The interior is cosy, clean, tidy and very simply but elegantly done. This is my favourite Chinese restaurant I've ever been too. Its amazing, completely faultless and I cannot wait to go back again.

  • 4/5 Jo Jo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Busy venue, predominantly older clientele - am guessing repeat customers & good service. Food fresh & tasty. Restaurant would benefit from an interior door to protect customers from recent windchill factor caused by people coming & going. Made dining experience unpleasant. Would go back but would ask to sit away from entrance.

    Fantastic meal here and great staff, you've got to try this place

  • 5/5 Jules P. 1 year ago on Google
    What a gem this is. 5 of us went for dinner this evening and the food was amazing and arrived very quickly after ordering. Everything was so tasty and piping hot and unlike many asian restaurants that you visit, none of us got that horrible MSG afterslump that you can get after a Chinese meal. Loved the food here and will definitely be back!

    Friendly staff. Excellent food. Well presented. Nice atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit

  • 5/5 Dizzilexia 1 year ago on Google
    In house: 5 stars for the food quality - 4 stars for the very slow service on a Thursday evening. As a takeaway service on a busy Friday evening 6 stars. I phoned across an order and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes.!!

  • 5/5 James C. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious fresh food, really impressed. Way better than you usual Chinese takeaway. I made a mistake when placing my order and the staff were really helpful when I returned to correct it. We will be back again.
