Joyous Feast - NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME

The food at this restaurant is fantastic, but the delivery service is unreliable. While it is not considered fast food, the quoted delivery time of 60 minutes often ends up being closer to 1.5 hours. However, there have been instances where I planned for a longer delivery time and the order arrived in just 10 minutes. It's very inconsistent. If they can get the delivery service organized, this could easily be the top Chinese takeout option in Kidsgrove. But until then, I may have to go back to my previous go-to spot.

Last night, I experienced the most delicious special chow mein I have ever had. Typically, chow mein can be dry, but this dish was perfectly cooked and not at all dry. My mother tried the chicken curry and said it was absolutely delicious.

I will be honest, this restaurant used to be much better. I was told there would be a standard 40-45 minute wait for delivery, but it actually took over 1 1/4 hours. In the future, please provide a more accurate delivery time. The food was delivered lukewarm, cost over £22, and the prawn crackers were slightly soft. Additionally, the salt and pepper chips were half the portion size they used to be. Cutting back on chip portions is not a way to retain customers. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience.

The nicest Chinese I've ever had the food is absolutely amazing

I believe this was our 6th chinese takeout that we've tried after recently moving to Stoke and we were very happy with the food we've ordered and will be coming back. We've had sweet sour chicken balls, beef with mushrooms, egg fried rice and crispy aromatic duck with side of chips. Everything tasted great, freshly cooked, loved that it had good amount of vegetables in beef dish and aromatic duck, touch of spring onions in egg fried rice. Prawn crackers were crispy white too!
