China Essence in Lancaster

Food was a bit bland service was quick, restaurant part closed which we wanted to eat in rather than take away

Ordered ahead to collect on a busy Saturday evening. Orders under £20 are cash only. Owners very friendly. Food was amazing! Would definitely recommend.

Really friendly staff. Nice food, well priced. Love this place.

Fresh, tasty. The sweet and sour prawns were amazing - tempura battered king prawns rather than the sweaty ball things you usually get. Not over oily and dark, natural colours. Everything was lovely. Best Chinese I’ve had - shame I’m not local

No good. I made a detour off the M6 to find some Chinese food. Advertised to be open on Sunday evening between 5 and 10.30pm. Only 9pm, it was shut. May as well do whatever they like.

Very nice Chinese. Not greasy and very tasty. Reasonable prices and not too long a wait. Always looking forward to the next one!

Visiting the area so decided to use the Chine Essence for our evening meal, we found the staff very helpful our meal was cooked on time and everyone in our party really enjoyed the meals we had. The salt and pepper ribs were excellent and I had the crispy chicken in Cantonese sause superb. If you are staying in the area on holiday and you want to have a Chinese Meal then you can't go wrong with the Chine Essence.

Really lovely food. We had a bit of a wait as it's all cooked to order but live nearby so just waited at home. I always say you can tell if a chinese meal is going to be good by the prawn crackers (and China essence make the BEST prawn crackers).

Excellent Chinese takeaway. Lovely tasty food and they cook it infront of you so you can see what is cooking and what's going in your food. Alot of Chinese takeaways cook the food behind your back and everything can be put in your food . It's a known fact and what people have come across with there food they have received. With this takeaway you can see it being cooking and what is going in your food and the shop is spotless and clean. I Recommend this take away to anyone .

Surprisingly enjoyable, I shall certainly be booking again for a takeaway. However with only one person cooking, you may have to wait, but that way you know its freshly made.
