May Chinese — Restaurant in Epping Forest

First and foremost this is the best Chinese restaurant in the area.

It usually takes multiple times to get the phone to ring, as during peak times their phone line is busy dealing with call after call.

Yes the price is quite expensive but it is the best food in the area and is always fresh.

Usually after eating Chinese I feel rough but not here.

Please do not waste you evening in this restaurant unless you like being ignored. They should concentrate on being a take away service only as they are clearly more interested in telephone orders than serving eat...

Food is really nice here and is definitely the best Chinese in Epping and Harlow but unfortunately we can never get through on the phone to order. We quite often decide that we would like to eat a Chinese on a Friday or Saturday during the day and then spend from 5.30-7 pm trying the phone every few minutes but end up giving up after an hour or so of user busy which then ends up spoiling our night because we have to then order and wait for somewhere else. It’s a real shame that we will have to give up ordering from here. Would love to know how we go about ordering as we always phone from 5.30 at...
