What Pamela Y doesn't like about The Food Shop:
This shop use to do really nice food , but unfortunately it don't look or taste like proper Chinese food anymore , I gave it another go after about 8 months to see if it had improved, No No No see pic this was supposed to be Singapore rice noodles looks more like chopsui with veg and bamboo shoots and it's so bland : View all feedback. What parris f likes about The Food Shop:
Always good customer service good quality food. we are a fussy family and love every plain and have a few veggies etc and they always get it right! Been going here since I was a kid and i’m 22 now! Defo recommend : View all feedback.

If you want chippy, go elsewhere tbh, also the Chinese is very poor. Special chow mein just dumped with a load of soy sauce, absolutely swimming in it.

Used to be my fave Chinese for years. Was very disappointed with yesterdays dinner. Gave us icky belly’s.

The Chinese takeaway and fish and chip shop offers a mixed range of customer experiences. Some diners find the food to be subpar, with inconsistent quality and taste issues. Slow service and food quality problems were also reported, including foreign objects found in dishes. However, other customers praise the food as tasty and well-prepared, with friendly customer service and efficient delivery. The portion sizes are generous, and the establishment is conveniently located with ample parking. Overall, reviews are mixed, with some customers recommending the restaurant while others advise against it.

I can’t believe in the year 2023 they still only take cash. They must lose a lot of business cos not everyone carries cash.

They changed the food. Curry sauce that used to be best in harlow is now unrecognisably disgusting. Chips taste like cardboard. You get 4 ribs instead of 5 or 6...
