Li Wah — Restaurant in England

We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant as we've heard such good things, and we were left incredibly disappointed, and hungry. We booked a table for 7pm with the expectation of being done by around 8:30 ready for a performance at the forum theatre at 9. We noticed that larger tables who had been seated after us were having their food orders taken before us, when our order was finally taken around 7:30, we were assured it was being placed to the front. We had ordered a set meal for 2, and the starter (basic, takeaway style chicken and sweetcorn soup) did not arrive until 8:10, we mentioned to the server that we were anxious of the time, and she assured us they were working as quickly as they could, and mentioned that there were other tables also heading to the same show. When the time got close to 8:30 we decided, reluctantly, to pay for what we had received, and left. Other tables in the same position were doing the same. The server was apologetic, and really I felt sorry for her, it obviously wasn't her fault. I'm disappointed to say the least, especially when walk-in orders for takeaway were being taken and passed out within half an hour. We definitely won't...

Delicious great value food at this restaurant that is an old establishment here in Billingham. The owner told me they've had the restaurant 50 years!

We went at the end of the lunch on a Saturday and there were 4 other tables so there was a nice relaxed ambience.

The lunch menu is incredible value, 3 courses for 6.50. Mum & dad had soup of the day (minestrone with bread roll), beef with vegetables, battered prawns and chips, ice cream and pineapple. I had a main off the normal menu - peking beef (doesn't come battered/crispy) with chips. We had teaa for drinks.

We were really looked after and the final bill was extremely reasonable. Really recommend coming for a casual weekend lunch and supporting this local...

I have used Li Wah as long as I can remember and has always been excellent. However tonight was my last ever time using them. We phoned to place an order for takeaway and was told to collect it round the back( even though all covid measures have been dropped) turns up when told to do so 20 minutes later and sat in car for a further 25 minutes!!! When the order is finally brought out she says cash only round the back...which we were not informed of when placing order. So she says give me your bank card and I will take it through and tap it on the machine herself (I don't think so!!!) Anyway we ended up driving away without food and never...
