The Rising Sun in South Somerset

Very surprised when I got my takeaway. Everywhere I have had house special chow mein before, the noodles have come in one pot and the house special mix in another. Here, it came in one pot. The house special mix elsewhere contains big chunks of beef and pork, loads of mushrooms and king prawns. This had decent slices of pork, there was a hint of beef hidden within the noodles and some very small prawn shaped things. Not quite what I was expecting. Tasted ok though.

False information given on Hong Kong style chicken. Phoned up to complain about the dish delivered and was told that they wouldn't bring a replacement in its place.Food was cold, chicken was tough.Spent a lot of money at this takeaway over the years.Will not be returning.

Lovely food really enjoyed my meal and friendly staff.

The single star was for the service! After a very difficult day a takeaway was to be had. The experience was not good, the chicken curry sauce was bland the chicken tasteless and tuff, the fried rice was bland and like it had been around for days or overcooked. The chicken balls were small only eight of them but probably the best out of a bad bunch, the sweet and sour sauce was not good and like jelly! Special fried rice over cooked, didn't look nice, blan and prawns were a bit iffy! Now how the hell can you go wrong with chips 🙈😲 small portion undercooked.This is the 5th Chinese Takeaway I've tried recently in Yeovil and to my experience they all need to try harder as bad food experience with them all, one if the things What I worry about is some takeaways pre cook rice and then kept in a warmer this is not good practice to my mind!

Best Takeaway in Yeovil. Been a Customer for over 30 years. Jimmy keeps things to the high standards set by his Grandfather and Father.

Like many others I have enjoyed the food from this takeaway........until my most recent purchase. The sweet and sour chicken (in batter) and egg fried rice was not nice. The sweet and sour sauce was not sweet and sour, the egg fried rice was a solid compressed lump of something that looked like rice and the battered chicken was literally dripping with cooking oil. Not one of their best items from the menu!

Lived in Yeovil for almost 5 years now. Been to every Chinese in Yeovil before finding The Rising Sun. It more expensive than most but it’s cooked fresh and consistent. The staff are happy to adjust to your requirements and build a great rapport with customers. Honestly say best Chinese in Yeovil without a shadow of doubt.

I've lived in Yeovil for more than 20 years and have tried most of the Chinese take aways around. The Rising Sun have consistently been the best. The food is well prepared and very tasty. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Absolute rubbish! Girlfriend and I had a take away from this restaurant monday, duck was full of big bones which was not only off putting but meant the portion was small. My egg fried rice was over cooked and sludgy, my prawn toast was way over cooked and almost inedible. Mini spring rolls were the only thing not over cook but you can tell they were the cheapest versions possible! All this for nearly £25! Not happy at all!! Will never go to this take away again and will make sure everyone I know hears about my experience.

We used The Rising Sun for the first time yesterday and will definitely be using again. I phoned through an order whilst on my way home in the car and gave my estimated time of arrival home. The food arrived within the time slot given and was delivered by a very polite delivery driver. The food was piping hot and was absolutely delicious. Very impressed with the service overall.
