DE BAO CHINESE TAKEAWAY

I have tried many Chinese takeaways and there is always that little something missing that stops me giving a full 5 stars. I have finally found my 5 star in the De Bao and its right on my doorstep.My phone was on constant speed dial for over half hour before my phone was answered an it had only just opened up; that's always a good sign.My order, from left to right was Sweet n Sour Spare Ribs, Honey & Chilli King Prawn in batter and Singapore Style Chow Mein. The obligatory bag of chips with curry sauce dip complete the meal.Don't be fooled by those dark ribs; they are slightly crispy on the outer edge but beautifully soft iside. The sweet n sour sauce has to be home made. Its not that thick orangey-red stuff you usually get, this sauce is light, delicately spiced and slightly more sour than sweet, but its difficult to tell because the flavour changes then changes back again. Its a merry-go-round on the taste buds.The chow mein comprised of perfectly cooked noodles, veg, various meats and prawns and was deliciously flavoured.And finally those prawns. Wow! They are very different. Cooked in a thin batter and bathed in a honey and hot spicy sauce.This was my perfect meal and believe me, I am very fussy. I love the heat from this meal. Not too much, but may be a little too warm for some. If you aren't keen on heat or spices choose from the menu carefully.I have marked 'Atmosphere' as a 5 because I couldn't remove it. As I used a delivery service so used the mark for the guy that delivered. He was very friendly and helpful.

Absolutely faultless ! Delicious food every time , very consistent. Bed Chonese in Skegness without a doubt

Fantastic Food with fantastic prices, first time visit and won't be my last. Now my go to Chinese Takeaway, everything tasted fantastic and nothing was bland. Cash only but they do deliver if needed

Stayed in Skegness for a week for a holiday with family and searched google for a chinese near me. De Bao came up with a great rating, great images of food and decent prices. Rang up, ordered, and got it delivered right to the sight. Came fast and hot within the time frame provided. Will be ordering again tonight and can’t wait! Would recommend to everybody.

Very poor from start to finish.They know you are holiday makers and just gove you whatever they can. Our portion sizes were all In small containers and a local arrived ordered a dish same has our order and got a bigger container.Also when we got home order was wrong.Definitely don't recommend this take away.

First time we have used this takeaway. Very rarely do I get an actual crispy shredded beef it’s always soggy, but this was very crispy. Beef chow mien was spot on very tasty and the special fried rice was full of little extras. And all was piping hot. Only lost a star because the prawn crackers were disgusting , tasted very oily. I wouldn’t complain if they were free like other takeaways, but I paid for these and put them in the bin. Decor could do with a little tidying but I’m rating the food here

Lovely Chinese the best we have found,it's a wait when you order.but you know everything is cooked from scratch .I just wish they answered there phones .just a little niggle .
