Having read a number of other reviews on this site, I was wary. However I did not need to be concerned. The lady taking the orders was very friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent. The takeaway was quite busy with a steady stream of customers, so if it’s as terrible as some of the reviews make out this would seem unlikely. My order was for young chow fried rice, sweet-and-sour chicken, and Schengen Singapore noodles. All the dishes were excellent, see photo.
Worried by other reviews ..but no need. Lady in shop was very helpful. Food really good. Spare ribs amongst best I have had. Chips superb. Curry good. Sweet &sour really nice. Can't fault it!
After reading negative reviews we were almost put off from ordering. So pleased we did as the food was really good and the lady who served us was lovely! Really not sure why there have been negative reviews but I would say order and see for yourself. Apparently there are two versions of chow mein a dry one and one with sauce all I can think is people aren’t aware of this. Honestly couldn’t fault any of it and that’s why I decided to review as the negatives seem so unfair. Would definitely return
Maybe I was lucky but my meal was fine, yes the curry sauce was a tad thick but loads of flavour. Also loads of meat in the Yung Chow fried rice. Will stop again when I need food.
I don’t think the 1* reviews are warranted although don’t get me wrong it’s not the best Chinese I’ve had by a long shot. I suppose a lack of competition can be blamed but if you are in the area and fancy a Chinese it’s not bad. What was frustrating was the lack of menu online so here I attach some photos. The duck pancakes were very nice at least.
Enjoyed our Chinese very much! Chicken chow mein, beef in black bean sauce and kung po chicken all hit the spot 👌👍 Minus one star for the slightly odd sweet and sour sauce.
Really nice staff and great takeaway, no idea why there were one star reviews this place is as good as any Chinese I’ve had, don’t get put off, we certainly weren’t disappointed!
I have been coming here for years to enjoy the delicious food on offer. I definitely recommend the 5 spice chicken wings. The staff are nice and welcoming.
I think we come on a busy time, but didn't mind to wait. I will advise ordering over the phone, then just come to collect. We enjoyed every bite of traditional Chinese food. I think the bad reviews are only from people who don't specially fancy oriental cuisine.
Have to say that we were really nervous ordering from here after reading reviews across different services but we need not have been.
We are fortunate enough to have a couple of good Chinese/Cantonese takeaways where we live so we do have a certain amount of expectation when it comes to the food we receive and I can honestly say that this did not disappoint.
I had a Singapore chow mein, Singapore fried rice and chips with my son. Major plus point... the noodles are the more traditional thin ones rather than the thick ones that are more commonplace, little minor point... perhaps a smidge too much salt in the chow mein.
All in all really enjoyable and if we lived local, Chinese Cottage would be a regular treat.
