Sams Chinese Takeaway

Update: for our 2nd deliveroo order, we had lemon chicken, sweet and sour prawn balls and vegetable fried rice.My friend was impressed by the portion size of the chicken. I was impressed by the presentation - it looked beautiful.The prawn balls were great again and went very well with the veg rice.The delivery service was also better than the first time, as they put it on my doorstep as requested. My 'atmosphere' rating is for the delivery.Total: £22.50--Tasty Chinese meal for 2 for my first order from this takeaway.Great prawn balls - 10 in a light, crispy batter with tails left on for presentation, with a rich, sweet sauce supplied in a separate container.Mixed veg Chow Mein had crispy fresh veg and noodles in a rich, smokey sauce.Roast Duck Chinese style - looked great but my friend was disappointed that the duck was only on the top layer and the rest of the container was bean sprouts. My friend expected more meat for their money and topped up with some of my prawns.Prices: Sweet and Sour Prawn Balls £8.20Roast Duck Chinese style £8Mixed Vegetables Chow Mein £6.60Total £22.8 + fees = £23Deliveroo driver arrived on schedule and food was hot.However, we were upset that they ignored instructions on order and wouldn't leave food outside door. Instead they wanted us to take the food out of the Deliveroo box, so no social distancing at all.Great food but disappointing first experience of Deliveroo.

Quick and polite service. Never been here before. Ordered chicken with bamboo shoots and water chesnuts and pinapple in syrup.The bamboo shoots were inedible, the texture of chewing wood. The rest was delightful.

Overall, food was OK, portions were good and the staff seemed friendly. Would probably go back.The seaweed was uncomfortably salty and over priced for what it was. The chicken balls were also very greasy than expected. The prawn crackers lacked flavour.I would have liked it if they did deliveries and accepted card though.

Best sweet and sour chicken balls I've ever had! Also great value for money quantity wise! Thank you so much.

Love this placeGreat foodDecent prices

The great reviews confuse me. Was I just unlucky? I've been eating Chinese food for over 40years now and I can say without doubt this is the worst I've ever eaten. Firstly, I ordered 'chicken chow mien' (£7.20)and 'Sams mixed starters for two'(£11.00). When it turned up it was lukewarm, at best. It came in 2 small containers.Firstly the mixed starters box. The two ribs in the container were dry and 'old' tasting. The smoked chicken was rubbery and tasted of nothing. The spring rolls tasted reheated as did the tiniest samosas I've ever seen. At the bottom of the container was the seaweed which was ok.Now for the 'chow mein'. Where do I start. It was dry, no juices of ANY kind. The chicken was barely noticeable. The noodles were over cooked. I'd say the overall dish compromised of, 92% stodgy noodles, 6% chicken and 2% bean sprouts(if that). Didn't notice any onion. I only managed 1/3 of that dish. Truly awful meal. Will never return.

Visited this place for the first time and it's literally the best Chinese I've ever had. Chicken satay, egg fried rice and curry sauce was 10/10

Tried somewhere new. Can't fault the place. Food was good and decent portion sizes. Will be going back!

£61 takeaway - with friends, Tasteless chow main - hardly any chicken in, same as special fried rice - nothing special about it! bland!Chicken balls over fried - & runny saucereally disappointing! - sam’s use to be good!!portions size are good if it was edible !

Order takeaway from Sam's and sit on the bench near the lake and have the food. Pure bliss. Highly recommended.
