First time in Harrogate and googled the best Chinese, this came up and utter disappointment, we ordered two chicken chow main, two fried rice, one chicken fried rice, chips, chicken curry, chicken satay , and plain noodles. The rice had zero flavour, so just boiled rice which considering the price is a joke. Chips hard as nails, over cooked. The chow Mein was lacking flavour and chicken, I know we are going through a finical crisis but come on, simple ingredients, and tasted so bad. The worst is the most expensive the curry and satay well if u like watererd down sauces then theres ur place, it was oilily and again flavourless. Please and I really am saying this so you don't waste your well earned money, explore anouther Chinese because this one robs you and leaves...

Avoid the Thai curries, the green curry (chicken and vegetable) were terrible. Too sweet, no flavour at all. But then, Thai food in a Chinese restaurant... The prices were on the high side overall. Fired rice and noodles portions were quite small. Crispy won ton parcels were good. Chicken in spicy Szechuan sauce was definitely not up to mark. They really need to make an effort to make better food. Good...
