The Kraken Posted 12 September, 2011 Share Posted 12 September, 2011 Why are there so many utterly terrible Chinese takeaways these days? Since moving to my house a few years ago I've tried many of the local take aways and, with one or two rare exceptions, most of the food that comes back has been absolutely shocking. Just gloopy, salty, tasteless muck for the most part. I've heard Pilgrim House is good, and I'm a fan of Little Buddha. Most other Chinese takeaways I give a very wide berth.

Wes Tender Posted 12 September, 2011 Share Posted 12 September, 2011 Tangs isn't bad. They do a buffet that is apparently freshly prepared. A buffet is not something you would eat in a Chinese, as having the food standing under heat for an hour or two is totally against the principles of Chinese cuisine. Buffets in an Indian restaurant are good, as the flavours can develop further. I agree with you, Kraken, the standard of Chnese takeaways is generally awful.

egg Posted 13 September, 2011 Share Posted 13 September, 2011 Pilgrim House has gone downhill. Decor is crap, service worse and food even worse. Kachina is excellent. Great service and food.

keithd Posted 14 September, 2011 Share Posted 14 September, 2011 I'd like to vote for Golden Jade, Fair Oak/Bishopstoke. Decent portion size (fnarr), always good quality.

Alanh Posted 15 September, 2011 Share Posted 15 September, 2011 Kams Palace is apparently the best for dim sum according to a Chinese relative who knows a good restaurant when he sees one. Pilgrim House used to be good but has apparently gone downill in the last couple of years. Not sure if it's down to a change in management or chef or what.

Viking Warrior Posted 15 September, 2011 Share Posted 15 September, 2011 Manadrin Chef has gone down Hill . Was good but I think there was a change of owners The chinese down there are far better than up here. Our chinese buys most of their ingredients from lidls. I watched them buying loads of cheap tins of chopped ham and pork I order special singapore noodles with pork. I got tastless noodles with lots of chopped ham and pork . it was rank . A pot noodle would have had more taste I envy you gouys in Southampton having a decent chinese restuarants down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oriental Express in Shirley is good if you want a proper chinese or if you're brave enough, have dim sum at Kam's Palace and order duck tongue, chicken feet or rainbow ox honeycomb (stomach lining) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony13579 Posted 15 September, 2011 Share Posted 15 September, 2011 (edited) MMmnnn !! Are you sure ? http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186299-d782373-Reviews-Pilgrim_House-Southampton_Hampshire_England.html I think the trip advisor review could be read as written by a compettitor. I keep reading completly untrue reviws about Pilgrims. We go there, we get good all you can eat , we request more starters, extra things like muscles in black bean, extra sauces, they are polite, I have never met the searly staff or the fight on the restraunt floor!. The only "incident" in about 12 big group visits was dropping a bowl of rice and then hillariously vacuming it up into a dyson! We often make an all you can eat last from 1pm-6pm and we are not hastled. TripAdvisor-removes-reviews-trust-sloganhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-2036846/TripAdvisor-removes-reviews-trust-slogan-website.html?ito=feeds-newsxml I would also reccomend Water Margin in Baddesley.

Saint Craig Posted 21 September, 2011 Share Posted 21 September, 2011 For takeaways I'm gonna nominate New Jade Palace in Woolston, it's my benchmark when it comes to other Chineses. I live closest to Bitterne Triangle but have never rated the ones down there so will always go a little further to Woolston. I'm not a fan of Magic Wok but do intend to give Chop Suey a try as I've heard good things. Been too long since I've eaten out at one, not completely sure why. Will have to be done. Sadly I currently think this will most likely happen down in Southsea. Albert Road in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
