China cottage in Worthing

Worst Chinese I have had in a long time. So salty could eat the spare ribs, crispy chilli beef not crispy, chewy and tasteless. Duck not crispy. Mushroom satay watery and tasteless. Beef curry beef, chewy. And all lukewarm.

First time ever, very disappointed with the meal, had lemon chicken which was very hard and dry, ordered a pancake roll, ended up with very greasy pork balls, taste was not nice, only ate the noodles.

Best takeaway in the area. My son doesn't like chow mein or roasted duck from anywhere else - including posh restaurants. Great food. Fast service

Quality and quantity changed since the last I got delivery - 3 months ago! I ordered prawn Szechuan and sauce tasted very different, too sweet and some of the prawns weren't properly cleaned ( still had gut waste)!I can understand change in quantity, but quality shouldn't be messed with; they definitely changed the recipe/ingredients.

So disappointed tonight. We have used China Cottage for years. Having been shielded indoors for 10 weeks, we thought we would treat ourselves. Oh dear, what has gone wrong. Noodles burnt, obviously reheated. Prawn and mushroom awful. Duck overcooked. Very poor meal. Come on China Cotrage, get back to what you were with all dishes served fresh.

Great quality Chinese food ..Best one in area

Food is average , but the delivery time they give you is not acceptable , they say a time and it passes, you call and they add more time ...with no apology, if they are that busy then they should give you the option to order somewhere else instead of lying !it’s happened several times , once or twice you can except but it’s now too regular .

Enjoyed a meal for six people tonight....we opted to pick up our takeaway and ordered a variety of food. All my friends were very happy with their meals... I had the tofu with black bean sauce and cashew nuts. Very tasty. Would recommend this takeaway, which has an open kitchen for viewing while you wait.

Real shame as we have often ordered from this place and food has been good but several times we have received very rude customer service.Due to liking the food we have put up with the poor service, until tonight....We placed an order and received duplicate of one dish and they missed another dish.We then rang to ask for missing dish, whilst being honest that we had received duplicate of one.They delivered missing dish and asked for duplicate dish to be returned, in which I had explained we had opened already. The delivery man replied ‘it doesn’t matter they have requested I collect it’.We have now been left concerned that they will reuse food for other customers.In our opinion it was their mistake therefore should not require food to be returned and just to ensure the customer receives what they ordered! It clearly doesn’t meet food hygiene standards, nor health and safety standards.Unfortunately this has deterred us enough not to use company again.

This is a great Chinese takeaway. Never had a bad meal and they are quick. I didn't give it five stars because it could really do with a make over. The place is a little tatty, and if it was your first visit it might put you off. I guess if you are getting it delivered then this is not a problem.
