China Diner

Zero stars if possible. States free delivery, which was then £1 when I went to order. Full order went through, payment made and they called to state they would cancel the order because it should be a £3 delivery charge!??? It's THEIR delivery charge online! Will not use again, shocking. Don't bother wasting your time guys, go elsewhere.

Food is so tasty staff r polite great service all round

The food we had tonight had to much salt and chilli on it. We couldn’t eat it as it was spoilt it burned our mouths after first taste. Never buy salt and pepper chips and salt and pepper chicken from here as that’s all the food is salt and pepper seasoning and house special fried rice had a hair in it. Rotten. Only gave it a star because it wouldn’t let me post without giving a rating

First time using China Diner, a very extensive selection of dishes and I ordered what I normally have when I opt for a Chinese takeaway.Portion sizes were good, although the flavours were somewhat different from what I am used to with my local Chinese take away.Singapore chow mein were a little more salty but that's probably due to the extra soy sauce in it, and definitely more spicy.I don't mind that but some people might do, so a warning on the menu might be a wise move.The chicken in black bean sauce was very nice and was pleased to see that we were given some free vegetable spring rolls, however I was disappointed with my roast duck with ginger and spring onions.The duck pieces were not great at all, more fatty skin cuts than actual meat pieces.Price wise, well I was shocked that it was so expensive, especially for a place like Durham, I guess that's why it could afford to give us the free spring rolls.In comparison I pay £5 for my Singapore chow mein and £5.80 for my duck with ginger & spring onions here in South London.By definition it would be a higher cost of living here than the North of England, but I paid £8.40 at the China Diner for each of these dishes, overall that's about 70% more expensive!While I appreciate it was nice food, the food was well packaged up, the staff was very polite, I find the price rather extortionate, especially in a place like Durham and an area with so many university students!

It's going down hill TBH.

I normally have this takeaway at least once or twice a month and every time I eat their food it is always perfect and very tasty. Staff are very kind and super polite. The food we ordered was Cantonese crispy chicken and egg fried rice and it didn’t fail to disappoint. The chicken is soft and crispy on the outside and not dry at all! The Cantonese sauce is also immaculate with flavours. Rice is well seasoned and nicely cooked and portions are good.

Really good takeaway. Large portions good taste and level of spice. Chow mein delicious, aromatic duck really good. Spicy chicken curry and chips brilliant. Highly recommended.

62. Char Siu (Roast Pork) in Szechuan Sauce very tasty with a lingering warmth of Szechuan.

Our first time at China Diner! Really lovely food, freshly cooked and truly delicious. We'll be back for sure. Thank you!

Both myself and my partner have Ended up being repeatedly sick and bad diarrhea after having a beef curry.
