New World - Basildon

I’m actually not a great lover of Chinese takeaway food probably due to all the really bad ones in Wickford but having said that the New World is easily the best one out there Unless it’s from there my wife won’t have one

This Chinese is the BEST in the area!! The food is spot on every time, it’s always hot, I’ve had most things off the menu and I’ve loved everything, the 2hr wait is sooo worth it, some say they can never get through, I ring one after the other about 20 times and I get through and WOW is it worth it, the salt and chilli prawns are soo nice and the chicken version, Singapore noodles omg I could go on. Honestly best chines ever!!

Good value for money and food isn’t bad. But .. The lady who took my order was rude. I was told it would take 1 and a half hours to 1 hour 45 mins to come, which is fine but it was over 2 hours late. It wasn’t hot at all when I got to eat it and my order was wrong.

We have been customers of this takeaway since it was Lucky house, many many years ago. The pancake rolls are the best ever. The food good and no complaints. However trying to get sonebody to answer the phone to order a delivery on a Saturday evening is something the owner needs to look into. Waiting nearly 2 hours just for somebody to answer the phone is unsatisfactory. The young girl works very hard and spends many hours answering the phone for deliveries but there needs to be a second phone number and another Person answering the phone. Now the Lon Wah opposite is a takeaway only (Who have two phone numbers) and more staff, there will be much competition.

This Chinese restaurant in Wickford has probably the best sauce and is good value for money. The waiting times can be long depending on when you order, and I would prefer larger portions, especially for the meat sauce compared to the rice. While it may not be the best restaurant in Wickford overall, it is definitely one that I would visit again.
