Yummy King Chinese Takeaway Restaurant in Leicester, Earl Shilton

Reviews

   This place is quickly becoming our go-to for proper Chinese! Ordered through Uber Eats for the second time, and honestly, it was even better than the first. We went all out: Beef in black bean sauce, crispy prawns in salt & chili, ¼ crispy aromatic duck, prawns in oyster sauce, beef fried rice, prawn fried rice – every single dish was packed with flavor and arrived piping hot within 30 minutes. Portions were generous, and they even threw in complimentary spring rolls and prawn crackers (nice touch!). My favorites? The crispy prawns – tempura-style perfection, the beef in rich black bean sauce, and of course the crispy duck pancakes with hoisin and fresh veg. Absolute winners! I’ve seen mixed reviews for this place, but honestly, I don’t get it – both my experiences have been fantastic. Great value, authentic touches like fortune cookies (my kids loved them), and consistently tasty food. Highly recommend if you’re craving proper Chinese in Earl Shilton. We’ll definitely be ordering again!

   Absolutely the worst Chinese food I have ever had in my life. I feel scammed. I ordered battered squid, so these guys had the brilliant idea of getting dried up squid that was probably left out and compensated for the lack of squid with batter to create the illusion I was getting more squid than it actually was. It's dishonest at the end of the day. Tried to get a refund from just eat, they responded with "so sorry but all resteraunts have different methods" their methods are just being dishonest. I encourage you guys not to waste your money on these people YOU WILL REGRET IT!

   Waited 1.5 hours for food just for it to arrive and half of it was missing. We called to tell them this and there was no apologise, the woman on the phone just said she would 'send it next time' ?!! When we said we wanted the food now as there was no point is us eating what they sent because it was just chips and rice. She said they were very busy and they'd try and send the remaining food out within 30 minutes. 1 hour later the food arrives and it was cold. 2.5 hours wasted waiting for food that all ended up in the bin. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!!!!

   Absolutely disgusting the curry was OK the chips were over cooked, the Banana fritters well here we go, there were mouldy and off tasting to the extent of being unwell. Look at the photos. Food & Hygiene rating is wrong, so I will be contacting the council.

   We placed an order that never arrived. We waited for more than 2 hours and when we tried to contact them there was no response. Completely unprofessional behavior. I would have much rather preferred them canceling the order if they were too busy instead of having us wait for over two hours. This is completely unacceptable.

   While there was nothing intrinsically wrong with our order. It was just a little bit disappointing. The portions were very small and the food very bland. Overall, we just sat here afterwards, wishing we had ordered from somewhere else.

   Waited over two hours for delivery. Took three phone calls to get food. At one point when asked how long would food be I was told “how long’s a piece of string”. Do yourself a favour, use a different takeaway in the town. These guys have no idea what they’re doing.

   18/11/22. It was mine and my daughters birthday yesterday. We waited 2 hours for delivery you said 45 minutes. When it turned up the driver had someone else's food. He wanted to go get it remade for us. What a joke I didn't want to wait a further 2 hours for food. I recommend going to Chris's chip shop. If you can't fulfill an order try being honest and give customers a chance to get food at a reasonable time of day

   Ordered off of Just Eat and accidentally put in the wrong address. Called them up and was completely easy to update the address and add a tub of soy sauce (which was £1 but more than worth it). They didn't make me feel silly for putting in the wrong address. The food came in tin containers and pipping hot. I ordered chicken fried rice, shrimp chow mein and chicken spring rolls. Every single dish was extremely tasty and generous in portion. One medium pizza would've costed the same as the three portions so the food here is extremely affordable. I recommend if you feel like delicious variety of food!
