Slowboat Takeaway

A great little family run place. Most of the positive reviews describe it accurately. Not oily or overly salty but still flavourful with fresh ingredients. A modest selection of vegetarian dishes are included among over 200 Chinese (mostly), Thai, and Vietnamese dishes, but none with tofu. They were able to put together my order while I ran to the cash machine because they don't take cards.

Best Chinese set dinners for takeaway. We use them regularly. Love the food.

Have used Slowboat for years. Unfortunately in recent years, standards and quality have been dropping steadily. Ordering a set meal for example you would have received a 2 ltr bottle of pop. That was replaced by 2 cans. Large bag of crackers. Now half the size. Decent spring rolls now horrible skinny hollow mass produced gunk. All the while the price has gone up and up while the quality of ingredients has gone down. The latest money maker is charging for a bag. Whether you want one or not. Take your own not an option. Front of shop staff's attitude stinks.

There are a few terrible chinese take-aways in Aberdeen. However this is not one of them. Decent honest no frills take-away serving reasonable food at reasonable prices. Won Ton soup superb! Super quick delivery. Yep one of the better take-aways in town.

Their food is excellent and have always delivered the food piping hot and in good time. Even during the bad weather!

Wonderful food , delivery man was lovely too my favourite was chicken chowmein but everything was absolutely perfect x

Have been ordering for years and recently made our standard order, recieved a dish which was wrong, called and asked for a replacement and was told we made a mistake with our order. The same order we've made for over ten years, and apparently WE made the mistake. Was told they wouldn't deliver to us again. Sorry to say but this won't help your apparently failing business.

Hands down the most satisfying meal I've ever had. Ordered the salt and pepper crispy chicken. It was different to what I'm used to but certainly the best tasting. Also got the chicken noodle soup that was just perfection. Ordered on deliveroo and left a note to call so I can get to reception, however right on time I got a knock on the door from the driver and he had the face mask on which made me feel safe. Dinner to my room and I couldnt wait to write this. Absolutely outstanding cant wait to try more from here :)

Very rude on the phone. I called to place an order. Had made a list of the numbers of the things we wanted (according to their menu) was told not to order by number, so we had to go back and forth looking for the corresponding dish description again. The woman on the phone was very dismissive, impatient and hung up on us before telling us to make a proper list and call back. Needless to say we didn't call back and ordered from elsewhere, as should every body else. There's no need for rudeness.

The honey chilli chicken was disappointing; chicken came in popcorn form and was definitely heavily processed and half the meal consisted of pineapple. Just tasted cheap and the egg fried rice tasted like it had been made days ago.I have had the stomach flu ever since eating there and I’m starting to think that it’s not just a coincidence as the hygiene seemed questionable. As I was waiting on my food I witnessed the cooking staff coughing into their hands and using the phone then proceeding to continue with cooking without washing their hands. There was also a really dirty open top fish tank sitting mere steps from the kitchen.I really don’t like leaving horrible reviews but after being unable to keep food down for a few days now I felt I should warn people. I checked reviews before visiting and they seemed good so maybe I just went on the wrong night ☹️
