What Wobbly72 dislikes about Bowan Chinese Takeaway:
I used to highly recommend Bowan in the past for their tasty, hot, and fresh food. However, my recent experience has deterred me from returning. The chicken satay skewers were strange and the pancake rolls were terrible - the pancake was undercooked on the inside but very crispy on the outside. The noodles, rice, and prawn crackers were good, but the crispy chili chicken was just okay. It used to be much better. Over... View all feedback.
For the last couple years, the chef had changed, and the quality took a bit of a dive...but recently, the original chef came back, and it is once again the best chinese in Daventry. Glad to have you back finally!
A few months ago we ordered a take away including vegetable dumplings as I cut them I noticed meat so called complained and asked for a refund, today ordered another take away making sure that I got vegetable one and yet again meat in them! I am disgusted this time I bit into them! As a life king vegetarian it made me feel ill so another call and awaiting refund! Need to find another Chinese! Oh and had to wait over 30 mins for food!
I've always loved Bowman's food but tonight I have to say it was absolutely vile. I don't often do reviews but I had a basic chicken breast chow me in. Turned up on the bone and i wished I'd cooked. If this was my first meal here I'd never go back. Thankfully I've eaten here before and will go back to my usual order, as normally the best. Everyone has a bad day and I hope I never have to repeat what I ate tonight.
We've used the Bowan for over 20 years and have never had a problem but our last visit was so disappointing, we thought it strange and believe that it has changed hands. Sorry to say we will not be going back!
I used to frequent this takeout restaurant for over 10 years, but in the past year, the quality has been inconsistent. I tried Happy Chef as an alternative, but also experienced some disappointing meals there. Now, I prefer to avoid takeout and opt for Indian cuisine instead. Little India is a great option, as they cook in plain view and consistently deliver delicious food.
