I rarely write reviews especially bad ones, but guys, honestly what's happened? The Paramount was one of my favourite places, the crème de la crème of Chinese in Blackpool and I know Its been a while but surely things didn't have to change this much. Tonight we ordered the worst Chinese meal of our lives and to say that not even I could eat it is testimony of how shocking it was. £33.00 in the bin and 3 still hungry people.
So for starters we had the ribs (not bad you get 3 ribs in a portion 5/10 because they were a bit cremated but that's being picky )
The chicken lettuce wrap, Im not sure how to describe this (1/10) resembled Dog food, tasted the same served with Romaine Lettuce (a first on me) portion size miniscule around 1 spoon each which didn't matter in the end because it went in the bin. I shouldn't really complain about the portion size because as the lady who answered the phone rightly pointed out starters are suppose to be small.
Next the chilly chicken wings, not bad (7/10) but your still gunna need the mains because remember starters are suppose to be small.
Chicken and cashew nuts (1/10) tasted like dog meat, inedible landed in the bin. Not sure what happened to the chicken to make it taste so bad and chewy. Chicken and tomato, revolting (1/10) no taste and a crispy shredded beef dish which I will give a 3/10 because we managed to eat some.
All in all this was a really shocking experience, please don't think we didn't call up and give you the opportunity to explain because we did. We were told that you don't charge the VAT to your customers and that next time we order the dish you will sort it out. The problem is, if this hasn't put us off Chinese food for life it is incredibly doubtful we will ever order from the...
Read moreOpened almost 50 years ago by ex local resident of Kowloon, Hong Kong, this establishment has been for decades, serving hungry Blackpool residents with some more exotic dishes than fish & chips, no salt and vinegar on this table! Don’t even mention ketchup !! Crispy duck did I hear you say? ‘That was tasty’ said my dad and I couldn’t agree more… 2nd round please. Mains followed and this was nice and spicy, let’s wash that down with an ice cold Tsingtao beer. Still hungry? They deep fry some bananas for you! What more could you want? This place is awesome… just needs some modern day Honk Kong excitement to reignite the passion from the early days! I’ll be back.. support these guys, you won’t be duck-appointed… 35£ for 2. It’s great food, friendly service just needs some extra spice to make it a highlight of highfield road. I’d love to see this place packed and Hong Kong light display every night at opening time blasting down the street ( or inside...
Read moreWithout a doubt, one of mine & my partners absolute favourites😍
Sue is always lovely & attentive. Service is always spot on & nothing is too much trouble.
Now the food... oh my god. Soo many flavours. My partner always says it's the best beef curry he's ever tasted. (He tells me everytime)
I feel the same but about the sweet & sour. The chicken pieces are in crispy batter, so you can tell it's all freshly made. I love that sauce is strong tasting & the fact they put sugar snap peas in. The chef cuts the carrots into stars too which is also another personal favourite. Ha.
There is literally so many of my favourite dishes here, the fillet steak in Cantonese sauce is heaven. The fillet will melt in your mouth & the sauce is equally delicious.
I've also tried the duck, crispy chilli beef, chilli chips & egg fried rice. Everything is always so tasty & consistent.
Gutted I don't have photos to back me up.
Can't...
