Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The crispy aromatic duck receives rave reviews, often highlighted as a standout dish by frequent diners. Many loyal customers can't resist ordering it every visit, paired perfectly with fried rice or chow mein.
The extensive menu, featuring 134 dishes, includes popular items like crispy fried seaweed and roast pork in honey sauce, which leave patrons eagerly anticipating their next meal.
Service also consistently garners praise, with the staff known for their warmth and efficiency, creating a welcoming environment that keeps customers returning.
Most Disliked
Some patrons have noted that being cash-only can be inconvenient, limiting payment options for those who prefer card transactions.
The casual setting, while inviting for some, may not suit those looking for a more formal dining experience. The ambience is functional but lacks the decor often found in upscale restaurants.
Furthermore, during peak times, the quality of service can slightly dip due to high demand, leading to longer wait times for food, though staff efforts to manage the rush are commendable.

Best chow mien in the U.K.! I always order a large portion so I can have it again the next day. Singapore noodle is delicious. The lady is really lovely and the service is quick. Price is so reasonable for the quality and amount of food. Definitely our favourite Chinese takeaway.

Definitely my new favourite Chinese! Not a bad thing to say about my experience with ordering and eating from China Town. The man taking the order was friendly and efficient, the food was delicious and well enjoyed by me and my partner. A 5 star rating is very well deserved. Definitely recommend.

China Town deserve 5 stars they've been there 35 years of my life about 25 years ago it wasn't all that. But over the last 10 years it's got better and better. Especially over the last couple of years. For a Chinese takeaway I would vote China Town the best around the Thurrock area. The food is pretty decent 👌🏾 and the people are wonderful very helpful and if they make a mistake they rectify it straight away.

Have Recently Been Purchasing Food From China Town After Eliminating The Other Local Chinese Take Aways Like Happy Garden and Golden dragon of which have fallen from grace in terms of performance and food quality. CHINA TOWN has excelled in every avenue from service to most importantly quality and taste of the food. The lovely lady behind the counter is always polite and welcoming, and keeps her composure under pressure. The food is absolutely to die for, of which my favourite is the roast pork in honey sauce with roast pork fried rice, no peas, extra spring onions and a multitude of other. There are so many options to choose from and I intend to try them all. If you are in southockendon and are wanting quality food with quality service look no further as China Town is second to none. Keep up the good work guys. CHARLES.
