Take Away Food Centre - Portsmouth

Phone order said 40 minutes, went there after 40 minutes and had to wait another 40 minutes. Absolute joke. Only take cash?

Well, I fancied a Chinese meal but, as I am not from the area, did not know which takeaway to choose I picked this one. I had crispy shredded chilli beef and a special fried rice (the one without sauce). I could taste the beef and the rice was very tasty. The lady behind the counter appeared quite ferocious at first but she was very kind, and it was probably my fault as I am rather deaf and she spoke very quickly. I was also quite shaky at the time as my husband was in Intensive Care. I would not hesitate to go there again, in fact I am thinking of reasons to visit Portsmouth, which don’t include the hospital

Despite some off-putting reviews, went there as most of the others were closed on a Tuesday. Have to say, from the moment I walked in the door I was happy. A welcoming greeting, order repeated back perfectly and after a wait of about 15 minutes I was on my way home with our 5 dishes. They were all a generous size and very very tasty. Items ordered were Sweet Sour King Prawns HK style, Mushroom Foo Yung, Pork Chow Mein Chicken with Mushrooms. A carton of Sweet Sour Sauce was also ordered but, to be honest, wasn't needed as there was sufficient sauce already. So good were the portions we have some left for tomorrow, when we will use the carton of sauce. A large packet of Prawn Crackers was included foc. We will return! Cash only if ordering in the shop, which suited me perfectly.

Seen some bad reviews and I have to stick up for these guys. I have always ordered on the website and the food is always hot and tasty. The delivery time is pretty accurate too.

Really wanted to use a local takeaway and website looked great so was really looking forward to ordering there for the first time after many years. Unfortunately was very disappointed. Food did not taste authentic and was the worst chinese we've had to be honest. Won't be going back.
