Hon's Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in England

My husband and my self have been coming to this restaurant for 8 years and have felt happy with the service and food. However, tonight was disappointing because of the waiters attitude. We asked for a knife as we were only given forks and spoons. The waiter was visible annoyed by this and asked us how many we want. We said two, which he bought over in a huff. Once we had eaten our starter and he came to collect plates we asked for some new cutlery for the main. He refused to take the knives as he said they don't have many of them and cant give us fresh ones and we must hold them in our hands till the main arrives. We were not even given a plate to place our dirty cutlery on while we waited for the main while holding the knife and fork. By this point, we were feeling disgruntled and were going off the idea of eating our next meal with the remains of our starter on the cutlery. I then asked for chop sticks instead which he bought over with another huff. For this reason we are giving our meal 2 stars as the food was delicious. But we wont be coming back...

First time visiting this restaurant having lived in the area for 20 years , suffice to say it may be another 20 before I return. Arrived and asked for drinks and our food order all OK so far , ordered feast b , starters of mixed hors d'oeuvres ,crispy duck, fillet beef and chilli prawns special fried rice and plain chow mein. The starters had very little flavour and was very dry due to no dipping sauces , the mains were ok, hot , the beef tender but served in huge pieces and not having a knife made eating it a challenge , but quite possibly the worst dish apart from the starter was the chow mein which had zero flavour not even a trace of msg. Not until we asked for the bill did our disinterested waiter approach us for the money , apart from more or less chucking the plates and cutlery on the table this was our only inter action with the staff apart from the initial order, granted it was busy initially but had quietened down by the time we left. A shame but is this what happens when you are the only Chinese restaurant in town? So many better takeaways...

6 months ago had a very nice meal with a group of friends. The fried rice was'nt good but otherwise it was pretty good.

July 2025. Hons has had many Up's and Down's over the years :/ Went back again last night and it was the worst Chinese we have ever had - awful.. The mixed hors d'oeuvres had all just been chucked in a deep fat fryer, dry and greesy, all you could taste was the fryer oil... Butterfly prawns like cardboard. Ribs not sticky and succulant but dry over cooked bones. Prawn Toast like greesy lump of rubber..

The Crispy Duck the same and it wasnt crispy just fatty oily skin, not crispy and shredded as it should be.. The main courses are so salty and the rice is still naff !...

Not long after we got home I had to make a sudden rush for the loo where I was ill :( All I could taste was that awful fryer oil.. After that I...
