Cheong Chinese in St Albans

Ordered Cheong’s for the first time in, maybe, 12 months or so and sadly the quality has taken a huge dip. Portions seem almost half the size as previously ordered - which I can almost accept, if the quality of food was good, but it really was sub-par.Shame, as I did enjoy a Cheong’s occasionally - won’t be going back.

Honestly was the worst Chinese take out we've ever had. Very poor quality and not nice. Would not use again or recommend.

So deeply disappointed with the Chinese food section of the shop, after a fantastic meal last time, we were looking forward to the next one, the same order by this time very poor in everything, the service totally not the same, the food cold the ribs were just last night's heat ups tough as old boots with just extra sauce to hide the fact !Why are they cash only? some sort of scamming going on there ?If you make a complaint they do nothing?So Chinese take out side of shop, as you can not treat paying customers with some respect or deal with customers complaints so here is what I going to do just for you.Give the next customers a chance to read this and make their own choice if they want to spend their money and end up just throwing the food straight in the bin just like we HAD Too,Because all you want is cash money !!!Yes cheongs was great back in the day when the old man and family ran it, but now cheongs is open just for greed and milking the name they once had.As you might guess we won't be back nor will our friends and familiesTavistock Ave resident of 40 yrs. 😠😠

Massively disappointed!!!1. Food was poor! (pictures below)2. Portions were pathetic!! I have attached photos below. The plastic containers were less than half full.3. They asked me to come in 20 minutes and then made me wait a further 15 mins. This is a pandemic when I would prefer not be standing around a Chinese for 15 minutes with people coming and going.4. THEY DO NOT ACCEPT CARD!!! Ordinarily, this would be strange (not sure I can name another business that doesn't accept card) but during a pandemic this is totally unacceptable. Makes me wonder WHY they would only accept cash!?Still hungry! I can honest say this is the first time after a Chinese takeaway....would be stuffed if I had chosen anywhere else. Not impressed at all!Would like to support a local business during this time but just totally unacceptable in everyway.

Thumb up for Sunlight Fish & Chips! Food hygiene rate 5. Fresh cod & potato, friendly & fast service. Highly recommend & certainly will order again

Good fish and chips here. Crispy batter on the fish and they do a good curry sauce. The only problem is one in common with a lot of St Albans eateries is the number of food delivery drivers causing queues at peak times.

Horrible experience, I phoned up regarding my black vegatable spring rolls and they didn’t taste right, they didn’t offer me no refund no alternative nothing they didn’t care whatsoever. I just want to share my experiences, oh and also the king prawn noodles didn’t taste nice at all, the noodle were hard and the prawns was like chewing gum. If I could only upload a picture so you can all see. So terrible never going back.

My usual Chinese takeaway was closed tonight. So after some research I looked at the reviews of Cheongs. The reviews were brilliant. I couldn't get through on the phone because they were busy so had to go there. I waited an hour for my food - which didn't bother me because they were so busy and I was looking forward to the great reviewed food.The food was awful... no flavour what so ever. The chilli beef was disgusting, was there any beef in there? The kung po was bland. The chow mein was dry. The dumplings were greasy. The only items half decent were the chicken balls and the free prawn crackers. Which is why I don't mind giving it 1 star. Hugely disappointed!!!!!!

This used to be a fantastic take away, we had a bad one a few weeks ago but decided to give it another chance this evening. In a word 'Dreadful' the rice was burnt and hard, the chow mein was more onion than noodles and the chicken balls were under done and not very hot. Most of it went in the bin, I'll not be coming back again!

Used to order from here all the time. But they have clearly changed the ingredients in a lot of their food. Myself and my partner were both sick, within 20 minutes of eating. Complete waste of money. What have you done to your food? It used to be so good. The dumplings taste like sausage roll filling in cheap shells. Avoid.
