Fair enough, she is passionate and has enough belief in what she's selling to know when people are just trying it on. And no, the customer isn't always right, sometimes they just go to pick faults, complain and whinge for a freebie or just out of hate and prejudice.
The washing machine absolutely sold it for me. It's like Super Hans' pub from Peep Show; freaks out the squares and leaves the rest of us hungry for more!
Thats a true but I cook off curries for the freezer all the time and stock pile and know my gear fresh.......Out a Take-away am not so sure. Yer bang on though food that comes to you blistering hot is a microwave job. I m not a food snob but I do that in house.
Actually, Chinese takeaways have commercial high-pressure gas-hobs which heat up the woks to about twice the heat you can achieve at home; and that's probably why it was so hot. Plus it was picked up straight after being cooked. I doubt if they'd use a microwave as the business model of the Chinese way of cooking relies on doing it quickly in a wok…
Hi Lee, pleased you give the take away a decent review, little tip when food is so hot wait a bit before consuming! Some sweet and sour sources have a very translucent colour, a plain boiled rice is a bit bland but that sauce will mix in well! Mark.Blyth.
Nothing wrong with the sweet & sour sauce colour the reason why it's shiny cause most likely they use arrowroot to thicken the sauce rather than cornflour. When you add cornflour it makes the sauce milky or cloudy, especially in clear sauces like s&s where arrowroot keeps it clear and makes it shiny.
7.5, from me. Looked very decent. Lol washing machine and cuttings of wood in opposite corner. Remember years ago, being in a Chinese restaurant in Uttoxeter. It’s was so 1970’s. And lime green in colour. The meal was lovely.
What’s wrong with the washing machine in the shop? Makes a change from lanterns and pictures of temples. Very feng shui. Maybe the place doubles up as a Chinese laundry! Or perhaps the takeaway is just a front for money laundering 🤣
Most people wait till they get home to eat the food so it's not too hot. Then, you can mix the rice with the sweet & sour chicken to absorb all that extra sauce. Also, sweet & sour sauce is pretty sticky, so it may not be wise to eat it in your car.
Chinese restaurants in UK sell French fries? They don’t sell them here. You ate all of the fluorescent chicken! That last shot shows the empty container 😂
To be fair, it sounds/looks like a reasonable 7 1/2 out of 10 to me. The main thing to me is it's hot, and that it doesn't taste bad. The sweet & sour sauce is always a bit artificial wherever you go to, and if you want decent chips - go to a chippy!😆 Well, you did ask........
That actually looked really nice.. those chips look bang on to me i love little crispy ones... the beef and black bean sauce is my favourite, the sweet and sour sauce looks the same as the takeaways where I live, looks the same as the one I get. I'd give it a 8/10
These plastic tubs have got me thinking that anything you get in a plastic tub could of been microwaved. Whereas anything in a foil container might be fresher as you can't microwave a foil container. 🤔
Nah this was nuked in the wave for sure. I just made tofu in Mao pao sauce and beef in black bean sauce and was more of a natural colour (sauces in a jar but did garlic / ginger stir fry first spring onion stalks) and on gas in a wok and defo wasn't nuclear hot. Also dry roasted some white sesame seeds and added to the tofu and beef dishes. Worked out a treat
I noticed a steep decline in take away food quality when most started using plastic containers, went from awesome food to more bland tasting, either the metal affects the taste or the plastic, in a good way for the metal and bad for the plastic.
Got hooked in on the headline with this one. Thought you'd been clocked again lol. Didn't look to bad food to be fair.6. And what's with the chair on top of a washing machine lolol. Great video top viewing 😂
Have to agree. Looks like pretty standard takeaway fare. Neither here nor there, although the added spice on the black bean sauce would have been a bonus for me. Did appear to be microwaved going by the heat. Chips look pretty standard for most Chinese takeaways too, although they did sound nice and crispy. My local ones are usually dried out and pretty unappetising. Used to have one takeaway that did great chips. Great big chunky numbers that were crispy on the outside and proper fluffy inside. I miss those. 6.5 from me.
Fair revue Lee, the beef dish looked ok, not too sure about the other, maybe tempted to call in next time im passing.The Mild Seven in Birkenshaw is my fav.
I rarely trust reviews unless I've seen other reviews from that person. People lie and exaggerate so much. I worked in a estaurant were a customer complained about insects in the food. We had CCTV and you could plainly see them tipping some beasties into the food when they had almost finished. They demanded we clear the bill and give them a free meal the next time they came in. Eight people, I kept them talking until the police arrived. They made a habit of doing this. I wouldn't order chips with a chinese meal, but each to their own. Black bean sauce should be a little spicy. Agree with those saying it's good to get hot food so you don't need to reheat when you get home. Rate My Takeaway mentioned the washing machine as well, I wonder if that replaces the waving cat:-)
To be honest I can't blame the owner from hitting back. Why should someone get a free meal and then leave a bad review? The whole thing sounds funny and good for the owner for telling awkward customers to go elsewhere!
I like the chips crunchy like that, can't wait for the hit back on your review, that washing machine is no way up to washing that red sauce out of a white shirt
I was a power seller on ebay, recently gave up due to the unbearable amount of idiots wanting stuff for nothing. People will complain and make false claims just to get free stuff. CUSTOMERS ARE NEVER RIGHT! FACT
Shop entrance looked like a builders yard reception area. Chips were definitely reheated. The 2 mains, plus what we saw of the rice didn't seem toooo bad tbf. As some comments said....better to pop em all on a plate and tuck in instead of eating individually. What I sometimes do.....when lots of sauce, veg left over is cook a fresh chicken fillet, cut it up and marinate it in the tub, then hey presto....another meal next day. Then wash and re use the plastic containers as they are usually microwaveable etc.
Wow - that sweet and sour did look hottsie tottsie ! Your facial expressions with it being so steaming hot had me on the floor ! Why didn't you eat one of the sweet and sour pineapples ??? LOL ! Those really retain heat 🙂 Enjoy your reviews and channel !!!
Can you please do a review of the Rainbow then? I used to use it when mum was alive. She lived in Farsley and when I visited from Cardiff we would use it. Fantastic lady works there. She’s remember me and my order weeks apart between visits. Amazing.
The customer isn't always right... in fact people are morons. Let's be honest anyone who has ever worked in a customer facing role really wants to let rip at a a minority of rude customers. I've worked for ecommerce businesses for 10+ years and since covid people have become very rude and unfair. Whether that is because of high living prices and stress I don't know but people expect everything to be spoonfed to them like babies and will do anything to fleece a business and try to get free stuff. Good for her for defending her livelihood
You’re absolutely right! I work for the NHS and abuse levels have sky-rocketed over the last two years! People have generally become ruder and far less tolerant since COVID-19! You really can’t blame her from putting rude, stupid people in their place!
Their are two Cantonese/Chinese restaurant recommendations I'd like to give you. I say "restaurants" but you can't sit down and eat your food indoors 😀 but they are GOOD 👍 The first place is Bamboo Bear and the second TakeAway is Dragon King. They are both in Bradford, BD4, Tong Street and they both do AMAZING-TASTING food in there
Nice review Lee! The food seems right to me but of course i didn't taste it 😂. If you order food at the Chinese take away here in Holland the meat or chicken or what ever is also swimming in the sauces and i like that. Again seems a fair review to me Lee, i liked it! A warm greet from Holland.
Beef and green pepper with black bean sauce is my favourite Chinese dish. I used to live across the road from Lin’s House in Doncaster, which is sadly long gone and created the most fantastic tender beef version I have ever enjoyed. In my 29 years in Oz, I have never eaten anything approximating the quality and, what’s more, the don’t do the green pepper here. It’s replaced with bits of carrot, caulie and sometimes, broccoli. Just not the same. Thanks for the visit to Leeds.
Looks decent, most places don't give you enough sauce.. They probably don't have the space to put the washing machine in the back and should maybe cover it with a blanket/cloth. Good solid unbiased review considering the bad reviews from the start
How odd Chinese takeaway with a washing machine in there lol. Certainly an odd entrance I must say totally agree with your comment. Chips looked terrible look like last nights been reheated or perhaps they had been in the washing machine lol 😂
Girl on the phone was very good, customer service was brilliant and to phone you to say it's ready. What does a washing machine do to affect the taste of the food looked pretty good to me and looked like you had given the sweet n sour more of a try. Beef in black bean sauce never had it but that looked okay, chips weren't the best but would give it a 7.5 on the politeness from the girl taking the order.
Not been there for years. They used to open on a morning and do a full English breakfast. Try CANTON HOUSE down the road and order “PO PO” chicken. It’s sweet and sour with garlic and chilli.
Being someone that has worked in hospitality and customer service, customers tend to exaggerate problems and make up bullshit when they aren't happy. People will literally lie to make their complaint look more jusitifed. I guess they reply in a way many of us wish we could
Hello as a person who is half chinese . Chips are not chinese. Your complaint about the chips are silly as ive been to non chinese restaurants and they look exactly like that or worse . Its chips ! You said salt and vinegar but you didnt ask for it! Too hot? You read a review that complained it was too cold! Why dont you wait till its how you like it! It was just cooked !! Colour of sweet and sour ?! Really ? Do you know how to make sweet and sour sauce? It’s basically ketchup/vinegar/ corn starch / water/sugar and chicken would be cooked and friend then added to sauce after. Beef had grisol on it? Beef chinese or not usually does! For 13 quid thats a bargain ! Rice chips/ two entrees/ steam rice/ You weren’t impartial You had already made your mind up
Old school Chinese takeaway. Love a bit of radioactive sauce on a sweet & sour, looked good to me. Looked at the reviews on Just Eat, most praised it, I thought that the few that didn't got some hilarious answers from whoever responded to them. No way savage. Staff were lovely to you. Unjustified media hype.
Look you said you wouldn't eat the sweet and sour cause you said " I don't think I will eat that sweet and sour chicken otherwise I will glow in the dark" then 25:19 you see the box empty so you did eat it! So means you liked and to be honest all of it looked amazing and I'd order from there
It all looked fine. I mean come on mate, critiquing chips from a Chinese is a bit unfair. As long as the Chinese food is good then that's the main thing.
Exactly ✌️ my first 'proper' job was at a camp site fish and chip shop and I remember the owner telling me then " the customer is not always right-sometimes the customer wants something for nothing!" After working the summer period I knew precisely what he meant. I think Mrs Chong is a legend 😂👌👌
After working in customer service for over 20 years trust me the customer is not always right lol but that doesn't mean they aren't entitled to there opinion.
My wife is Chinese and doesn’t recognise any of the food from Chinese takeaways. It’s often nice but is very English. We go to Red Chilli in Leeds on Gt George St behind the Town Hall. Must order proper Chinese dishes though and avoid the English style ones. I recommend Mapu Tofu. Very spicy but fantastic. Another revelation is home style chicken and salt and pepper squid.
@@TheMacMaster Let me know if you decide and I’ll look through the menu and recommend some more dishes for you Thanks for the entertaining and informative videos.
Authentic Chinese food is beautiful,same with Indian food. The names of Indian food and Chinese food are not recognised in those two countries. No such dishes.
50 shades of chips there pal! looks like they gave you leftover ones and scraped up the bottom of the pan to top em up, and you should have got the beef in oyster sauce to see what they did. i do enjoy your worst place visits though, that palace cafe was the best the owners was lovely haha
The black bean sauce that you had is how I am used to..A thicker sauce. Our Local chinese Black bean sauce is to thin. We ordered Chips from the chinese last week and they crunched just like your chips did. Hubby complained because they seemed as if they were lunch time chips reheated. That sweet and sour looked full of not so wonderful things for it to be that colour. Loaded with additives, and E numbers I should think.
Hi Lee! I’ve seen that takeway being reviewed before and recognised it straight away. Yes the owner does return any comments mentioned. I had to laugh when you said about Sarah ordering beef in black bean and you sweet and sour chicken. That’s my hubby and me too. He orders the beef and me sweet n sour chicken. I’d rather have salt n pepper chips love them from Chinese. You certainly couldn’t complain about the temperature of the food anyway. At least it wasn’t cold. I’d give it a 7.5 looking at it
I think the dining area could do with a makeover but apart from that I would probably give it an 8 as it was piping hot and didn’t look too bad apart from that unusual luminous sweet and sour sauce, it’s what it tastes like is the important thing. 👍
I don't mind glo in the dark sweet and sour as long as it's tasty 😁 Shame about the bit of gristle, but plenty of whole blackbean in there! 7.6 from me! 👍
I think that's why people love going there. There used to be a guy stationed as you enter and his only function was to bark at people coming through the doors to go 'up-thairz, up-thairz'. To be fair, I never had a bad meal there, always reliably so-so, but it was cheap. The rudest staff in London without a doubt. I took it in my stride.
It's to wash off the glowing, radioactive soup that splashes your clothes. And, they need you to sit on top of the w/m, while you wait, in case it starts to break through the top panel.
on looks i would say a 4 , Never seen A sauce so bright, the beef did look better, got to say i did like the look of the chips, looked crispy . A fair review and a decent score, good review Lee
Good video review as usual. I personally would have gone with an 8. But if I saw it 'in the flesh' and saw the neon red sauce I probably would have given a 7 like you did. But overall I think it looked decent. Cheers Mr MacMaster.
Yep, I agree with Michael Smith you need a lap tray lol. And, it was so hot because it had been in the microwave!! To be honest it looked okay, the chips were very crunchy 😆
Mr Mac, back in the day when we were lads, the Chinese take-away's would season their chips with MSG, that is why they probably taste bland now to those over a certain age. Try seasoning your chips straight from the fryer with MSG and you will see what I mean. With the unwarranted bad press that MSG has received over the years, that is probably the reason that this practice has stopped, and Salt & Pepper chips have evolved to take their place.
I put it on my young son and grandsons chips,just the way you explained, and they love it,it's called special salt by those two.All those reports were unfounded. I don't know about you ,but I detest being treated like a child by Government telling me and others what we can and cannot eat...
£13 for 2 meals with chips and rice. Looked OK to me, I've seen worse. If it was cold you would of complained. By the looks of it I would of gone for a 7.5..
Seems to be a lot of fuss about nothing here…. Looks like any other UK Chinese food, standard Chinese chips, “move on there’s nothing to see here” 👍😂
Fair enough, she is passionate and has enough belief in what she's selling to know when people are just trying it on. And no, the customer isn't always right, sometimes they just go to pick faults, complain and whinge for a freebie or just out of hate and prejudice.
I work in retail mate… ‘the customer is always right’ died out a loooonnnggg time ago 🤣🤣
Customers are not always right. More like self-entitled.
The washing machine is for the owner to wash her dirty laundry in public! 😂
The thing that concerns me most, is that it's right next door to a pet shop called Tail Waggers!! 🐕🐕🐕😂
Now Lee did say that beef had some gristle in it! Oh dear....... Lol
Is there a funeral directors the other side 😂😂
maybe it's a meat tenderiser, disguised as a washing machine!. lol.
Pet shop is probably the takeaway's main supplier !
lmao oh no no no
Wow, I wonder what the temperature of that food was like? 😂 Excellent 😂
The washing machine absolutely sold it for me. It's like Super Hans' pub from Peep Show; freaks out the squares and leaves the rest of us hungry for more!
Not seen anyone eat a chinese takeaway in a Porsche before. Fair play.
I love how you carry your own fork, salt and vinegar...there's a man who likes his grub!
Usually food which is blisteringly hot has been in a microwave.
Thats a true but I cook off curries for the freezer all the time and stock pile and know my gear fresh.......Out a Take-away am not so sure. Yer bang on though food that comes to you blistering hot is a microwave job. I m not a food snob but I do that in house.
It doesn't make sense in this case to microwave. Mac ordered it 20 minutes before. Straight out of the wok, into a box and kept in a food warmer.
Actually, Chinese takeaways have commercial high-pressure gas-hobs which heat up the woks to about twice the heat you can achieve at home; and that's probably why it was so hot. Plus it was picked up straight after being cooked. I doubt if they'd use a microwave as the business model of the Chinese way of cooking relies on doing it quickly in a wok…
Lee I love how your telling us all to be quiet, like we are sat in your car haha that's funny 🤪
Lol. 😂
The Washing Machine with the Chair on top makes me think they are building some kind of Time Machine
Saw that washing machine and just thought of Super Hans (The Peep Show) and his "amazing" ideas for opening a pub. 😄
"People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people, Jeremy."
The only thing Chinese about Chinese takeaways is the staff. The food bears no resemblance to authentic Chinese fare.
well the pretty waitress was a nice blonde...
Hi Lee, pleased you give the take away a decent review, little tip when food is so hot wait a bit before consuming! Some sweet and sour sources have a very translucent colour, a plain boiled rice is a bit bland but that sauce will mix in well! Mark.Blyth.
Nothing wrong with the sweet & sour sauce colour the reason why it's shiny cause most likely they use arrowroot to thicken the sauce rather than cornflour. When you add cornflour it makes the sauce milky or cloudy, especially in clear sauces like s&s where arrowroot keeps it clear and makes it shiny.
£13.60 What do expect for all that, Ken Hom popping over to your gaff tossing his wok?
😂
Looked lovely that, standard looking chips from a Chinese Takeaway which is why I never bother with them but the two dishes looked gorgeous.
I found the chair on top of the washing machine more odd than the machine itself...
9:46 "If we make a mistake, we'll give you free delivery on your next order".
12:37 Window- 'Free delivery'.
7.5, from me. Looked very decent.
Lol washing machine and cuttings of wood in opposite corner.
Remember years ago, being in a Chinese restaurant in Uttoxeter. It’s was so 1970’s. And lime green in colour. The meal was lovely.
First thing that strikes me is the customer area was a dump
I was dumped by a girlfriend once for getting chips with my chinese takeaway. Sacrilege, she said. Yeah, cos this is authentic chinese food babe.
A washing machine in the waiting area.... you couldn't write it ... still laughing at that 🤣
What’s wrong with the washing machine in the shop? Makes a change from lanterns and pictures of temples. Very feng shui.
Maybe the place doubles up as a Chinese laundry!
Or perhaps the takeaway is just a front for money laundering 🤣
Most people wait till they get home to eat the food so it's not too hot. Then, you can mix the rice with the sweet & sour chicken to absorb all that extra sauce. Also, sweet & sour sauce is pretty sticky, so it may not be wise to eat it in your car.
From the looks of the inside of that place it seemed to be part Chinese food, Chinese laundry and part lumber yard. Lol.

The customer is always right until they are wrong!

Of course when I worked at the post office in Mansfield, inside Smiths, the Mansfield folk were always right.....ermmmm 🤔, well maybe sometimes! 😂
In Mansfield we are always right. In fact my Dad used to say I've only ever been wrong once. That's when I thought I was wrong but I wasn't. 😃
Love your glasses Lee!! X
Thank you x
And you've lovely sparkly blue eyes!! I'm loving your videos !! Keep em coming!! X
When it is extremely hot, it has been microwaved. (Esp. rice...extremely hot not normal temps.)
Not been there for years. They used to open on a morning and do a full English breakfast. Try CANTON HOUSE down the road and order “PO PO” chicken. It’s sweet and sour with garlic and chilli.
Great review Mr Hatchett. All joking aside a fair score. All the best Lee from Loch Ness Scotland 🦖

@@harryturnbull1884Yes the beginning when he is reading out people's review and the owners reply.

Those review replies from her were 100 % correct and justified. Chinese Laundry and Food Takeaway
Last time went to my local Chinese there there was a quad bike in the front of the shop behind a sofa so a washing machine seems a bit more reasonable

Don’t blame her - there should be a customer trip advisor for bloody awful customers - which you can pick out amongst all the good reviews
Those chips looked delicious, next time post them to me, Chiangmai Thailand
If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen haha !! 😝
Customers at times, do have the sense of over entitlement.

After working in customer service for over 20 years trust me the customer is not always right lol but that doesn't mean they aren't entitled to there opinion.
All looked perfect to me 9/10 BRING A PLATE FFS
Hello
Only the chips were disapointing...wait !
Chips in a chinese takeaway ??
It's a joke ?
My wife is Chinese and doesn’t recognise any of the food from Chinese takeaways. It’s often nice but is very English.
We go to Red Chilli in Leeds on Gt George St behind the Town Hall.
Must order proper Chinese dishes though and avoid the English style ones.
I recommend Mapu Tofu. Very spicy but fantastic.
Another revelation is home style chicken and salt and pepper squid.
I'll have to try there. 👍🏼

Let me know if you decide and I’ll look through the menu and recommend some more dishes for you
Thanks for the entertaining and informative videos.
Authentic Chinese food is beautiful,same with Indian food. The names of Indian food and Chinese food are not recognised in those two countries. No such dishes.
50 shades of chips there pal! looks like they gave you leftover ones and scraped up the bottom of the pan to top em up, and you should have got the beef in oyster sauce to see what they did. i do enjoy your worst place visits though, that palace cafe was the best the owners was lovely haha
The black bean sauce that you had is how I am used to..A thicker sauce. Our Local chinese Black bean sauce is to thin. We ordered Chips from the chinese last week and they crunched just like your chips did. Hubby complained because they seemed as if they were lunch time chips reheated. That sweet and sour looked full of not so wonderful things for it to be that colour. Loaded with additives, and E numbers I should think.
Hi Lee! I’ve seen that takeway being reviewed before and recognised it straight away. Yes the owner does return any comments mentioned. I had to laugh when you said about Sarah ordering beef in black bean and you sweet and sour chicken. That’s my hubby and me too. He orders the beef and me sweet n sour chicken. I’d rather have salt n pepper chips love them from Chinese. You certainly couldn’t complain about the temperature of the food anyway. At least it wasn’t cold. I’d give it a 7.5 looking at it
Love Salt and Pepper chips too. Actually really easy to knock up at home and get them even better than the takeaway.
I think the dining area could do with a makeover but apart from that I would probably give it an 8 as it was piping hot and didn’t look too bad apart from that unusual luminous sweet and sour sauce, it’s what it tastes like is the important thing. 👍
I don't mind glo in the dark sweet and sour as long as it's tasty 😁 Shame about the bit of gristle, but plenty of whole blackbean in there! 7.6 from me! 👍
Mate, Won Kei Chinatown on London is legendary for the ignorant and rude staff 😤
I think that's why people love going there. There used to be a guy stationed as you enter and his only function was to bark at people coming through the doors to go 'up-thairz, up-thairz'. To be fair, I never had a bad meal there, always reliably so-so, but it was cheap. The rudest staff in London without a doubt. I took it in my stride.
Looks like any Chinese takeaway grub you can get in numouros takeaways in uk
I find that it's always useful to have a washing machine in a waiting room.
It's to wash off the glowing, radioactive soup that splashes your clothes. And, they need you to sit on top of the w/m, while you wait, in case it starts to break through the top panel.
on looks i would say a 4 , Never seen A sauce so bright, the beef did look better, got to say i did like the look of the chips, looked crispy . A fair review and a decent score, good review Lee
Looks like MSG heaven if globby food is your thing. 4/10
Good video review as usual. I personally would have gone with an 8. But if I saw it 'in the flesh' and saw the neon red sauce I probably would have given a 7 like you did. But overall I think it looked decent. Cheers Mr MacMaster.
Chips look horrible. Lots of beef but are you sure it's beef 😁
Mate, this place should be a pub. I saw the washing machine @11:57 and thought "Fuck me, a washing machine? I need a drink."
Was shouting at the tv black bean for your beef lol
LOL, I had a brain Fart lol
@@TheMacMaster haha like it
Usually that’s what I find with takeaway chips ‘ think they cook a batch then just throw them in the fryer to warm them up .
Yep, I agree with Michael Smith you need a lap tray lol.
And, it was so hot because it had been in the microwave!! To be honest it looked okay, the chips were very crunchy 😆
Of course its hot mate, it's been in the washing machine lol 😆
Lol. 😂
Mr Mac, back in the day when we were lads, the Chinese take-away's would season their chips with MSG, that is why they probably taste bland now to those over a certain age. Try seasoning your chips straight from the fryer with MSG and you will see what I mean. With the unwarranted bad press that MSG has received over the years, that is probably the reason that this practice has stopped, and Salt & Pepper chips have evolved to take their place.
I put it on my young son and grandsons chips,just the way you explained, and they love it,it's called special salt by those two.All those reports were unfounded. I don't know about you ,but I detest being treated like a child by Government telling me and others what we can and cannot eat...
God vid...an yea how random was that washing machine 🤔
Nothing says authentic Chinese like a chair perched on top of a washing machine in the foyer.
£13 for 2 meals with chips and rice. Looked OK to me, I've seen worse. If it was cold you would of complained. By the looks of it I would of gone for a 7.5..
