Long King Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Whitby

I ordered a takeout at 4.45 today for my son to pick up at 5.10 for dinner. while I busy. When I came out of my conference call all the food was still on plates in kitchen as no one could eat it. The chips were hard they said, it was like they’d been refried a few times. The special sweet and sour had one prawn in and the rest was pork, so not that special. The beef curry had a burnt taste like it was barbecued. The one item that was edible was veg/chow main. But not enough of it for three teenagers to share. I know I have an accent so they thought I’d not come back. Well sorry we live here and won’t be coming back. £26 for rubbish. When I contact the restaurant the young man couldn’t hear me for shouting in the background and didn’t seem to care. So not very caring to there customers, especially as we live here and need to eat out occasionally. My thoughts are don’t go at 5 o’clock because you’ll probably...

We have just come home from a week in Whitby and had a takeaway from Long King one evening. We were a bit wary of the mixed reviews, but it turned out to be one of the best meals of the holiday.

We 'phoned in the order and it was coming out of the kitchen when I arrived to collect; packed in good quality containers inside a shallow cardboard box, ideal for carrying in a car without any accidents. Very thoughtful. The Long King staff were excellent: welcoming and efficient.

All in all, the food was very good, but a touch on the bland side. I see the restaurant's usual response to such comments is that their clientele don't like anything too spicy. That may be so, but our Hot and Sour soup was sweet rather than sour. We missed the usual bite.

The mains and rice were more than fine, though we'd chosen items which are not usually heavily spiced.

I'd certainly eat again at Long King, hopefully in the...

Went here late Saturday night after attending a Blues Gig at The Pavilion Theatre.

We had looked at the takeaway menu in the window earlier that day and as we were stopping nearby thought we'd give it a try.

Firstly I would say that it is a bit confusing as the menu we were presented with bears no resemblance to the menu displayed in the window and there are no prices on it.

We were presented with a dish of prawn crackers that we didn't order I am afraid these were the best part of the meal!

My Hubby ordered chicken in black bean sauce with boiled rice and I ordered Cantonese style sweet and sour chicken with chips.

Hubby had a pint of lager and I asked for tap water.

Hubby said his meal was worst Chinese he"d ever had - the chicken was slimy. My meal was just lumps of batter I couldn't even taste any chicken inside!

We were charged £26 which was disgusting we thought.

Will never eat their again...
