This is without doubt the best Chinese restaurant in the Southend on Sea area and around, as far as we are concerned. The interior is not plush, but comfortable and well spread out giving you plenty of space. Booths, tables for two and long tables ensure it accommodates from single people to larger groups.

Service is friendly and efficient, the menu is really varied, with lots of traditional Chinese dishes and the food is fabulous. The chef uses fresh produce to create a wide range of flavours, and there are ducks hanging in the window, which is always a good sign of a Chinese Continue reading Wings Chinese restaurant review, Southend on sea, Essex

Soya Oriental Restaurant, Leigh on Sea, Essex

This boasts oriental fusion food in contemporary surroundings, and it does deliver just that. We have only been the once so far, but really enjoyed it and will be back. They also say that they use fresh ingredients and use less MSG (Monosodium Glutamates), which is good, although we always ask for no Continue reading Soya Oriental Restaurant, Leigh on Sea, Essex

Pearl Dragon Chinese restaurant, Southend, Essex

 We have been here quite a few times over the last couple of years, and it is consistent in service and food, so it is currently our favourite Chinese restaurant for this area.

Although the interior is not new and plush, it is comfortable and, being a large restaurant with an upstairs area, it is great for large groups. Tables are nicely placed, so you have plenty of room between your neighbouring diners.

The staff are professional, albeit a little serious and they do not have Continue reading Pearl Dragon Chinese restaurant, Southend, Essex

Gold Coast Chinese Restaurant, Southend on Sea, Essex

We have been to the Gold Coast in Southend on Sea a few times, but we have found the service not up to the standards of neighbouring Chinese restaurants, so we have not been here for a while.  

I did enjoy the food though, and this particular evening, we had a thai green chicken curry, which was very authentic, a very good broccoli and garlic dish and Kung Po King Prawns.  

This is not a bad choice for food, and certainly not the worst in the area all round.

 We have been to Mr Ping’s in Thorpe Bay, Essex many times now and always ask for no MSG and they are happy to omit it. Service is attentive and the atmosphere is comfortable and modern. This particular evening we had scallops to start which were fabulous (black bean and ginger and spring onion sauces) but the bang bang chicken was covered in sugar and not quite what we expected. Plain rice was perfect. We have cod in ginger and spring onion and ask for it without batter, which is delicious and healthy. The Kung Po King Prawns we ask to have ‘with batter’ as it tastes better. The vegetables are always good.

We have had the mixed starter platter before and it’s great value – seaweed, spare ribs, spring rolls, sataychicken and prawn and sesame toasts – all very Continue reading Mr Ping’s Chinese Restaurant Thorpe Bay, Essex
