Smiling Valley - Blaenau Gwent

This was my first time trying this restaurant, but it came highly recommended. I was a bit concerned about the 3 hygiene rating on the door. I ordered crispy beef and house special chow mein, which came to just under £12. I have to say, it was the nicest Chinese food I've had in a while. The staff were polite. I will definitely be going back again.

The food was delicious, the delivery was fast, and the prices were reasonable. The menu had a great selection and the staff were very pleasant and friendly.

There are new owners in smiling valley now for a few months, ive tried many meals off the menu all have been really tasty, i asked for my special curry to be spicy the other night wow it was really spicy like the old fashioned chinese curry used to be not sweet or overpowering, well done smiling valley, keep up the great tastes,

I gave a good review for this takeaway some months ago. It is still better than the vile offerings of the other Chinese takeaways in Ebbw Vale ,but I had their special chow mien...which tasted ok, but lacking in special . Noodles and a few bits of meat and 2 prawns ,is not special. Meat spring roles now have almost no meat. ,spare ribs hard as knock. I get the feeling that they are trying to make more money by cutting back on ingredients. Service is good, flavors are pretty good ,but your food has gone down, don 't let it sink.! .

After clarifying twice that our order was correct we have still come home to the wrong food. Disappointing.
