The takeaway meals I purchased brought a new level to the word bland. Absolutely tasteless and dry. Won't be trying again. And cash only Why?
Super friendly staff, never had an order wrong. Food is good, sweet and sour balls are great, beef in black beans also is good along with chow mein. Curries can be a bit hit or miss often not as thick as I'd like it.. One thing I would say is all the food has a lot of onion in it, stir fry veg also had a lot of onion, there is no broccoli which surprised me especially living next to fruit and vegetables shop. Overall very good but food is slightly dated Chinese menu with a lot of onion in pretty much all dishes Ive tried bar chow miens.
Take notice of the bad reviews which are accurate and I can't add anything to what has already been written. This has to be the worst takeaway ever. Soggy, fatty, inedible spring roll. Chicken balls dry and like bullets, sweet and sour sauce a weird and flavourless bright red colour. Egg fried rice dry. didn't eat most of it so waste of £14. I hate giving negative reviews, but this one is well deserved and a poor advert for Aylsham. On a positive note, the lady on the front desk was very nice.
I have never had such a wet and soggy takeaway. Cauliflower diamond, prawn chow mein and sweet and sour all swimming in wet sauce. Not sticky sauce - watery sauce! I know you get a sweet and sour expecting the colour to be bright red, but this was radioactive pink. Prawn chow mein was made with the tiniest prawns I have ever seen! Won't be going again. Plus, the guy who took my order gave zero care to the customer and communicated in grunts. And they don't take card! Avoid!
Had a large order last night for five people. Not one of us could finish the meal, we all felt incredibly ill and resulted in two people being sick. This happened the last time we ordered from here but thought it was a one off. Unfortunately this Appears not to be the case, will not be ordering a Chinese from here again.
Very friendly and a good service, but very strange looking food. The Sweet n Sour Cantonese Style Chicken was just battered square chicken pieces (nothing like my local Chinese) and the Sweet n Sour sauce was a scarlet red colour (never in 50 odd years of eating Chinese food have I ever had red sweet n sour sauce), the Special Fried Rice was a dark brown colour looked as though it was burnt or overcooked, but was bland tasting. Can't say the food tasted bad as it didn't have much taste to it. Would I eat from here again no I don't think I would.
Decided to use our local Chinese tonight instead of Jade Garden in North Walsham. Brought home our meal for 1 and hubby tried the rice before serving as it looked quite dark in colour(habbit of a chef lol) and he said oh that taste burnt I scooped up some rice and could smell how burnt it was. He took it all back and explained what was wrong,the lady was happy to exchange but she brought out 2 more egg fried rice and asked are these ok?and hubby said no they are still burnt you can smell it. Exchanged for two plain rice instead but chow mein was the same smelt burnt and did not taste good. Sweet and sour sauce was lacking flavour. Such a shame 2nd time using this Chinese since living here and defo will not be making it a third.
Duck pancakes were delicious. Chow mein very tasty but other dishes a little tasteless (chicken baba and cauli diamond). Very friendly staff and will return. Good value overall.
