Sun Tong in Tendring

Love this place, great flavours, friendly staff keep up the great work 👌

TAKE NOTICE !Any reviews here that predate covid should be disregarded and heres why..The menu and most of the reviews are way out of date.This place has had new owners for a few years now.They no longer do any type of Buffet and the menu google has a photo of here was uploaded by someone a few years before Covid (to help give you a timeframe)On our visit (march 2022) the food was just ok, quite heavy on the cornstarch but tasty.The portion size is very small and Very Expensive, (perhaps its cheaper for takeaway)But ive not seen prices like this since china town london.I wont go again, but not because of the food,Its just to dam expensive, add £4 to the price you are thinking of for each dish and you'd be close.

Expensive but pleasant atmosphere & food good 👍

1st time we have tried this Chinese and so glad we did Amazing food, lovely atmosphere. The waitress was great. We will be definitely go back again.

MOTHERS DAY. Very disappointed loyal customers. My family order from sun tong regularly. Mother’s Day we all came together and got £200 worth of Chinese. We waited 2 hours for our food which considering the amount we ordered was expected however when we received our order the one vegetarian dish we asked for was not there. Customer service was disgusting and left us very disappointed and upset. The lady on the phone said she could only apologise but we didn’t request it (despite double checking the order) and if we want it will have to order, pay and wait for it to arrive. The lady was not sincere and couldn’t of cared less. For the sake of £4.50 I would of paid. The point was what happens to the customer is always right. I said we are regular customers and if that’s the attitude you have with your loyal customers will go else where in which she replied saying ok that’s fine. 😡

Use this place all the time. Best Chinese in Clacton and tonight from the start of the phone call to being at my door was 18 minutes. Amazing.

Have used Sun Tong for a long time without any issues, however my wife suffers with a major reaction to MSG and I always request no MSG and they have done as requested, but tonight I ordered as always on a Friday and the order arrived within 15min, unfortunately within 5min of my wife eating she suffered a major reaction such a shame as now I will no longer be able to trust them, and will no longer be able to order from them.

The food, as usual, was really good (although one of the chicken dishes was rather dry).The issue i had was the wait. I know ordering a Chinese on Christmas eve will require some waiting. Called at 18.30 and was told at least a 2 hour wait (probably longer) for delivery, but if I was ok to collect it will be an hour and a half. So, chose to collect. Arrived at 20.00. Finally got my order at 21.00! Every time I asked how much longer, I was told "I don't know". This, frankly, was unacceptable.

Restaurant is tidy and clean. Staff are friendly and the different meal ordered were well prepared. Only downfall was the Noodles were not left at there original length but were cut to smaller length, apart from that would recommend the place for their delicious meals.

Me, hubby and 5 children found this little gem whilst on holiday. What can I say, absolutely amazing food and the taste of each dish was out of this world. It is by far the best Chinese food we have ever had and we are proper foodies. We ordered a lot of different things and all but 1 dish was cleared (the 1 we didn’t was taken away). The waitress was so lovely too, extremely polite and very helpful. If you like Chinese you have to try it. A***** all the way
