"GOAT. The Greatest Of All Time. A phrase common in sports applied to the best player or team to ever play the game. In terms of Chinese takeaways, this may be the GOAT. Granted, I haven't eaten at every Chinese takeaway but this one stood out instantly. First off, the portion sizes. They were big. Sometimes that can prove to be dangerous with quantity making up for poor quality, but that was far from the case here. Ordered a special hot box which was full of all things salt and pepper, a good dollop of rice and chips. Slightly low numbers in salt and pepper chicken but that didn't matter. A real feast. Shout out to the salt and pepper ribs. We also had a double happy which is crispy chicken fillet and crispy roast duck served on rice with curry sauce. Again, very, very nice. Final dish for us was crispy beef which again was fantastic. Lots of onions in there. Good sized curry sauce pots. Delivery available. As an out of towner, I will be back next time. 15 minutes from phone call to collection. Can't grumble at that. Surprised to see only a few reviews of the place."

Very good food, been going here 6 years now. Special fried rice is very good as well as their noodles.

We just spent almost £20 on our dinner and it was terrible! We ended up throwing most of it away. We will not be coming back again.

This Chinese takeout is fantastic and affordable. While staying in Cleethorpes for a few nights, it became our go-to spot for delicious food at great prices. We will definitely be returning next time we are in the area.

Very rare that we eat Chinese takeaway as so often been left disappointed however my partner brought one back after work on Wednesday and we absolutely loved it. Piping hot all the way through, my sweet and sour chicken was very tasty and the giant spring rolls were incredible, that big though it could be a meal on its own!

Had a takeaway for 3 people even though there were 4 of us, couldn't finish it all, it was really really good. The lady who served us said we could change any meal that was advertised for another of the same value, which we had two rice instead of 3 and had one chips, the quality was very good, it was all very tasty, we were staying in a caravan, we will definitely go again when we are in Cleethorpes.

This is likely the worst Chinese food we have ever had. The chow mein was almost black from the soy sauce and included unexpected ingredients like carrots and mushroom chunks. My partner's duck was dry and overly salty, with a terrible plum sauce. The spring rolls were decent, but clearly store-bought and reheated. I do not recommend this restaurant and will be making a sandwich instead, as most of our meal ended up in the trash.

Thought I would try Shanghai express for a change as up that way in Cleethorpes . Ordered beef curry, plain chow mien, egg fried rice , chips and pancake roll. Fried rice chips and pancake roll was good but the beef curry and chow mien was absolutely awful. Curry was too thick and the curry powder was not cooked out enough, which just ended up with a curry powder taste which was not enjoyable at all. The plain chow mien wasn’t actually chow mien but just noodles, and they were overcooked and the sauce was way too thick. Chow mien should have been sprouts in it. I used to use this Chinese before and I thought I would give them another try as I was close by, but now I will go back to St Peters...

"Attended a family wedding here recently. The restaurant, the location and the facilities were top notch, I think you would have to work hard to improve on what they have achieved here. However, the bar staff in the first floor function suite leave much to be desired ! Their attitude and reaction to the wedding guests during the wedding reception and evening event should definatly be improved ! It began with the sullen faces of the waiting staff during the reception , most should learn how to smile only one lady waitress blonde hair new starter was polite and smiled give her a job in staff training We asked for a bread roll during lunch, to be told, only for guests who have ordered soup ! Eventually after asking again they brought two over for the brides father... The evening event was a challenge when we struggled to understand why the part bottles of wine had disappeared from the table, when most of the guests were drinking spirits and beer etc. The penny , or should I say the C £17,000 dropped when the waitresses were removing full glasses of drinks from the table without checking! When challenged , the nonchalant response was to place the drinks back on the table and march off like petulant teenager! Our dismay was amplified the following day during a conversation with the restaurant manager told us , that 's what we do, If you need to keep your opened bottles of wine on the table you need to let us know , otherwise they will be removed! oh, so the wine is cleared along with the newly poured drinks too then? I don 't think we, or anyone else we know have ever been to a restaurant and even thought to tell the waiting staff not to take the half bottles of wine away before they have been emptied ? This usual practice was not discussed when we booked ! A cynic could suspect they re sell the newly recovered wine by the glass. This said, the manager did compensate with two bottles of the brides choice , so thanks for recognising the issue. But please consider NOT removing part bottles etc without checking in the first place."
