We had just arrived at our holiday cottage in Dunswell, and read the good reviews of this establishment, so decided to give it a try. We ordered chow mein and special fried rice, and it was roughly a tenner each. We ordered it on the phone, and picked it up ½ hour later. It was absolutely delicious and it was a large portion...if you have a small appetite 2 people would be happy with one meal. All in all, a great experience. Could not fault the food and very chilled atmosphere. Not rushed and very authentic Chinese food Recommend by a colleague but I found my takeaway chow mein very oily and with unusual noodles, chicken balls were rather well done and served with cold sauce, and the battered squid with garlic had loads of onions but I barely tasted garlic. Usually I'd keep the leftovers for lunch the next day but I threw them in the bin. I can't recommend. Staff very friendly and efficient though. Perhaps the kitchen was having a bad day. The decor is dated, the carpets are old, the lady that served us was a bit sour faced....the food we ordered was on our table before we'd even put the menus down.....but did I like it?? Yes, would I go again? Yes.....2 set meals and 2 drinks each after a skin full at ship Inn...£75....thumbs up from me.👍👍 Food was delicious and the staff were lovely they really looked after us. Would definitely go again. Not often in Hull . So been a few yrs since having a meal here. Last time was fabulous, service, atmosphere but above all & most importantly the food was delicious. Booked for 8.30 , but obviously too late because really felt the staff wanted us in & out ! Must of been 3 to 4 minutes between giving the order & starters on the table. HOW ? Mixed starter inc. Ribs with no meat just skin ! The waitress, no more than 12ft from glaring & dying for us to finish. If she smiled her face would of cracked bless her. Between clearing the starter & bringing out the main , not kidding 2 to 3 minutes ! The food awful, duck stuffed with prawn meat, no taste of prawns, & parts of the duck that was over cooked in the microwave was rock hard , never seen so many raw tomatoes thrown over my partners & my main course. Singapore noodles, just a solid block. Clearing the main in a hurry saying do you want ice cream. Tables leaving & leaving food, when asked do you want it boxing all saying no leave it. While eating the main a guy hoovering ft from us. Having been there just an hour said to the Mrs think we better make a move. Framed newspaper clipping all over, yellow with age . Best chinese in Hull. There all dated around 2001 for God sake 🙄 The owners really need to start replying to a few of the reviews people leave. Picture of the duck stuffed with prawn meat. Or what it's spose to be !! Can't ever see us going back, but if we did, would ask to see the kitchen. If it's not busy you have a right too be shown. This is a good Chinese restaurant with really friendly staff and a menu with a good range of options. There are dishes that you would see at most Chinese restaurants as well as some that are less common, which is always nice to see. They are happy to make reasonable changes to dishes for you. Allergens are labeled on the menu and we've eaten here several times with no issues with allergen cross contamination, even when we haven't specifically pointed it out. The building is an old English pub so from the outside you might not realise that it is a Chinese restaurant, making it feel like a bit of a hidden gem to me! I've visited several times now and will definitely be going back! Lovely place and clean, made very welcome food was very good and hot plenty of it .. can't fault it will go again.. Sadly this place is riding on its legacy reputation and no longer a great place to dine. We had an array of dishes and each arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. It felt warmed up rather than fresh. Edible rather enjoyable. Always suspicious when a restaurant is 80% full yet your food is too quick. The service was transactional, rushed & of a ‘what do you want now’ attitude. A shame, this place used to great. Ate in 9pm sun 2nd March 2 people, food had been re-heated & served within 2mins after ordering. Paid £55.40. After paying & leaving I emailed the following morning as was unhappy & called after 4pm Monday but to no avail. I visited 9pm Mon 3rd March very calm to resolve & was verbally threatened by the owners & told to leave. Awful owners & despicable people to communicate with Food was awful tonight! Cold! Noodles were completely tatstless, like they’d been boiled rather than fried! Fried rice was full of frozen peas that were hard and tasted like they’d been thrown in at the last minute and they completely overpowered any other flavour! Satay skewers were slightly pink and the ‘chicken’ was stringy and a really weird texture! In my opinion when people go out of there way to come for food and pay a lot for it you cannot and should not serve horrible food nor can you afford for your standards to slip, it’s not fair on your customers to waste there time and money! Very beautiful restaurant, very friendly and helpful service. Fresh and hot food. Very large portions. Very nice experience. Homely, family atmosphere. I recommend this place for families and children. I am very happy. We collected a takeaway from here today. It was awful all of it. The food was definitely not cooked today it tasted old. The chips were the worst I've received from anywhere. They were dry and old and some didn't even have potato in the middle. I even for a surprise mushroom in them. All this food went into the bin where China red should have put it instead of selling it to me. Never again.
