Terry Ling's Chinese & Fish Bar — Restaurant in Great Britain

NO PRAWN CRACKERS!????

We popped in to Terry Ling's on our way home and ordered a set meal for 2 and some sweet & sour pork balls. I was stunned when I was told the bill was £37! (Pork balls were £5) The menu on display didn't have any prices but I foolishly though it would be similar to our two local takeaways in Twyford (£20-£24 for a meal for 2). We stupidly decided that it must be worth it (especially as we were so hungry) so agreed to pay and waited for it to be cooked. When we arrived home and unpacked our order we were surprised at the portion sizes of the satay chicken (far too much for two people) and a strange obsession with pineapple, it was in 3x different dishes!? The food was good, but nothing special. Very similar taste & quality to the Hong Kong in Twyford (which is a fraction of the price) but the biggest disappointment was NO PRAWN CRACKERS. Now I know this seems like a small concern but after spending so much money and reading in the [priceless] menu that prawn crackers were complimentary on orders over £15, I didn't think to check they were in the bag until we'd driven all the way home. On the whole a thoroughly disappointing experience. We certainly won't be making a second visit Terry Ling's anytime soon. We'll stick with The Oriental Wok in Twyford which has a much fresher tasting menu, more realistic prices and ALWAYS serves free prawn crackers on...

Not sure how this place is getting rated 4/5. Ordered here the other night due to lack of options and regular Chinese now closed on a Tuesday. Had Chicken Satay for starters which came in a big container but that was due to a thick layer of pineapple underneath which I have never seen served with satay. The sauce I can only describe as a cross between chip shop curry sauce and soup. Very gloopy and very little taste. Had crispy chilli beef for main and whilst it was very crispy there was little sauce for flavour and the crispy coating on the beef tasted strange like the oil was old. The only saving grace was the chicken chow mein. If you are the kinda person who thinks sweet and sour pork should come in balls in a bag and then you might like the food. If on the other hand you like qood quality Chinese then best to go elsewher. It is cheap but as they saying goes you get what you pay for. Try Dragon Inn, Winnersh or even better Keis in Lower Earley (Keis don’t deliver but well worth going...

Best Chinese we've had for ages. Been on hols and didn't want to eat in the hotel........... expensive! So put in Chinese close to the Great House Hotel and Terry Ling's popped up. Only 6 minutes away. Fab, jumped in the car and boom there we were. Quick service. Special curry, sweet and sour chicken balls, prawn toast and chips. £19.00. Bargain. Food came quickly 10 minutes even though lots of people waiting. Chips were real chips proper salt and vinegar. When we got back opened and the portions were huge. Chips lovely, special curry was a lovely flavour, loads of prawn toast with a little tub of sweet and sour. The chicken balls were amazing big crispy and succulent, no words to describe the smile on my face and the wife's. We are now relaxing full with half a bag of chicken balls, half a tub sweet and sour and 2 pieces of prawn toast. Amazing value, great quality and quick service. A new name for having Chinese takeaway. We're having a Terry...
