What carolinepJ2770OG doesn't like about The Chinaman:
This is probably the most bland Chinese food I have ever eaten. The chicken was soggy and tasteless, the pork balls seemed to have been fried in old oil, and even the sweet and sour sauce couldn't cover up the lack of flavor. The only good part was the egg fried rice, but you can't really mess that up, can you? View all feedback. What User likes about The Chinaman:
we treat ourselves once a month to a delivery from here (limit track loughton) for the last 6 years. always had a quick delivery, always nice eating, personal friendly on the phone and at the door when delivery. I would recommend the people. View all feedback.

The food at this restaurant is of high quality. The beef chop suey had large pieces of beef and the fried rice was delicious. Although I was initially hesitant...

They gave me the wrong order and then refused to change it or refund me This is not the first time this has happened.

Nestled in Loughton, this Chinese restaurant has received mixed reviews, reflecting both culinary successes and serious service challenges. While patrons praise flavorful dishes like beef chop suey and egg fried rice, many express disappointment over bland options and soggy textures. Delivery issues are a recurrent theme, with long wait times and poor communication dampening the experience. Some customers commend the friendly staff and portion sizes, especially during larger orders, indicating potential for improvement. To enhance its reputation, the establishment must address customer service shortcomings and ensure more consistent food quality for a more satisfying dining experience.
