Needed to try a new Chinese takeaway as our previous favourite had declined in quality. Wings was recommended to me and it absolutely lived up to its recommendation! It is more expensive than some of the other Chinese restaurants/takeaways around, but in my opinion the quality made it worth it! We had three starters (prawn toast, chicken satay, salt and chilli wings) - which were all excellent. The satay sauce (which is my favourite part of a Chinese takeaway) was excellent - thick and flavourful. We had two mains - lemon chicken and beef in black bean sauce - both were excellent and good size portions (I only managed about half of my portion as I was full, but taste wise was sad I couldn't manage the rest!) We then ordered egg fried rice and chicken noodles as sides. We really didn't need to have ordered both - we had a lot of leftovers. The noodles were excellent: tasty, packed full of chicken and beansprouts and whilst it was expensive for a portion of noodles, the amount they packed into the container was impressive. We probably would have still had leftovers even if we had only had the one noodles and no rice!
The order took 1 hr from ordering to arriving (delivery) - and when the food arrived it was piping hot, and accompanied by some tasty and fresh complimentary prawns crackers.
This won't be a regular treat due to the price, but when we are really in the mood for a Chinese, this is definitely where I will be...
Read moreLocated in a quaint town in Barnet. Second visit here. We decided to leave on the first visit, it was the height of the summer and it was too warm inside. They didn't want to turn on the Air Con and simply suggested keeping the front door open. So we decided to return back in autumn.
We were one of the first customers there, and it got much busier throughout the evening.
The menu is the same as the paper take away menu.
We opted for the mix hors d'oeuvres. £20 for two, it was nice, we particularly enjoyed the freshly made spring rolls, but it looked rather bare.
For our main, we chose the sizzling chicken with green peppers and black bean sauce, special fried rice, chicken chow mein with thinjl noodles and beansprouts, and king prawn with cashewnuts and yellow bean sauce, this dish was literally had two ingredients, nice prawns but nothing else, disappointing for over £10.
The wait for the food wasn't long but it just didn't taste amazing for me. Portion sizes for the price were not too generous either.
We had a pint of beer and a soft drink, total came to approximately £73 with added service charge and complimentary fortune cookies.
It was an ok first visit but not sure I'd be returning. Had...
Read moreUnfortunately the restaurant is nothing as it used to be. I've heard many stories of the great food that Wings Restaurant used to serve. But that is not the case anymore...
It was bad from the moment Mr and my partner stepped in. It was really quiet, only one table was taken by a couple of customers. We asked where can we sit to which the waiter answered 'anywhere' - I guess that included the two tables that still had dirty dishes on. We decided to look past it and still have some food. It's sad to say that it was the worse Chinese food I've ever had, actually it was the worse meal in a restaurant I've ever had. Greasy, stinky and just all around disgusting. Will not...
