Peking Chinese Takeaway — Restaurant in New Forest

Had a takeaway for 4 people from here on a Saturday, only waited 40 minutes so not bad for a busy night.

The restaurant looked like it had not seen a customer in years, very drab and dreary with a cluttered bar and mandatory fish tank.

Food itself was a mix, no free prawn crackers with £60+ meal so that was disappointing.

Sweet and sour sauce was like congealed vinegar jelly, no flavour. Curry sauce thick and over powering of spice. Chilli beef was dreadful, dried out bits of batter missing the usual sweet fiery sauce, avoid this dish! Chicken balls great but the sauce was terrible. Lemon chicken and kung po chicken nice. Chow mein and speical fried rice was saturated in oil, there was oil left over in the dishes after serving! Spring rolls and prawn toast were great, crispy and authentic. Spare ribs tasted great too lots of flavour.

With so many of our favourite dishes being dreadful from here I can’t say I would order again, couldn’t get through to the usual Chinese but will go else where next time, far too...

We had a take away from here while staying at Sandy balls. We wanted an Indian but the local Indian only had 1 for hygiene. This place only has a 3. I’m guessing as these are the only options in this area, there’s no pressure to keep the standards up. I had chow mien but the noodles were thin not the usual fat ones. The chicken they used for the satay was not chicken breast so some parts a little chewy. The satay sauce was nice though. My FIL had the prawn curry and spent the next day in bed with stomach ache. The chips were like triple cooked in old oil and very salty. Overall I wouldn’t eat there again but if I had to choose between a 3 star hygiene and a 1 star hygiene then I would...

Don't listen to the moaners on here with their one star reviews. This place is good ! I've been going here on and off for 20 years as I've past through the area and it's always nice. The lady is very kind and friendly and the food super tasty and filling. It is inexpensive as you can see from the menu photos I'm uploading ( fresh at June 2023) I had the special fried rice which was lovely and the chicken with cashew nuts in yellow bean sauce which is really really tasty. Try for yourself and it won't break the bank, you can even have a quick drink in the bar opposite by the lovely River while you wait so what's not to...
