Poor food, worse attitude — won’t be returning I had high hopes for Merit Chinese Takeaway, but this was one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve had with a local takeaway. The food was below average — greasy, bland, and clearly not made with care. The chicken balls were mostly soggy batter with very little meat inside, and the curry sauce tasted like it came from a packet. Rice was dry, noodles were overcooked, and nothing we ordered had the freshness or flavour you'd expect. But what stood out even more than the poor food was the atmosphere inside the shop. While I was waiting for my order, I witnessed the owner speaking to young staff members in a completely unacceptable way. It was unprofessional, condescending, and bordered on outright bullying. No one — especially young people likely in their first jobs — should be spoken to like that in the workplace. It made the whole experience uncomfortable and awkward. If the food had been incredible, maybe I could overlook a few issues. But when you combine subpar quality with an unpleasant environment and a lack of basic respect for staff, it’s a definite no from me. I won’t be supporting this business again.

Very disappointed, went in & placed order the phone was going constantly & heard person taking orders stating 15/20 mins wait we waited 25 mins & told was been sorted yet people comin in for phone orders in & out! After 40.mins a joke for beef curry & rice x2 with spring rolls told would be out shortly, friend came in who had phoned 20 mins earlier for bigger order which was handed over straight away! Use this take away every week but not now! Other people in there asking for refunds not impressed either! Very disappointed

Our usual Chinese was closed, so thought we would try this one. We ordered prawn toast, which was lovely, special foo young with fried rice for my partner, he really enjoyed it. I ordered king prawn in oyster sauce with boiled rice. I was really disappointed with the sauce as it just tasted like gravy, it had a ton of onions and Carrot and a decent amount of prawns but that was it. The full tub was mainly gravy and onions.

Being going to this take away for years at least once a week as it was the best chinese take away in hull but past couple of times the food has been declining but i thought it was one off. But no!! Ive just got a take away from them and it was absolutely shocking, the chicken tasted off, it had a horrible taste to it, I tried to tell them only to be met with hostility and nastiness.. I won't ever be going back there again and certainly DONT recommend it, choose a different one

Asked for a orange Duck and she said sorry we don't do it. She said how about lemon duck and i asked for sauce separately she said no problem. Got it home and they had given me duck curry. I don't like curry at all. The guy on phone said we don't do lemon duck only curry duck. The girl offered me lemon duck sk j must be a liar. Not happy didn't listen to my order

Use to be brilliant but really gone downhill DONT listen to orders properly I ask for mild ((I have really bad stomach issues)) for them to make it extra spicy now it’s in the bin, ask for gravy and chips they make curry and chips, ask for boiled rice I got fried (hate fried) going backwards and forwards costing me time & fuel as they don’t deliver Going somewhere else from now on

The Curry feels like jelly and tastes dry the chips aren’t even cooked properly and the rice tastes like bum. Don’t know how people can rate this 5 star! It’s awful. Needs closing down
