Voongs Chinese - Milton Keynes

Starters were nice although a long wait. They have an unfair rule on number of dishes! Whether you are a table of 8, as we were, or table of 2 you can order 6 dishes which have to include your rice or noodles. The portion that comes is only for one person so actually not enough for everyone to have a dish! Yes you can order more but not until you’ve finished those. But we ended up with a tablespoon of each dish. Also one of our group was vegetarian and really no choice for them. Wouldn’t go again.

After being referred to Voongs a few years ago, it is now a place we try to visit at least once a month. The food and service is outstanding never ever had call to complain about anything. It’s by far the best Chinese in Milton Keynes imo. If I could think of anything it would be that Alf is an Arsenal supporter lol, me being Spurs we always interact. 12/10 excellent place for friends and family to enjoy a brilliant meal…..

Lovely satay starter followed by crispy lamb trimmings inc pancakes. Our mains of chilli king prawn's, sweet sour pork and special fried rice were also v good. The only let down was a greasy chow mein dish. Subtle service, overall a v good meal and at £70 for 2 inc service reasonable value.

Another amazing dinner with friends at Voongs on a busy Thursday evening Great service from Alfie Lisa it was really busy but we didn't wait long for our drinks to arrive. Our food followed, piping hot, delicious taste and plenty for us all to enjoy In the 25 years I've been coming here, I have never had a bad meal

Visited for a meal with family, my partner has been before for the creative menu offer but this is the first time visiting on a ‘regular’ night. Although it appears it’s not changed in many years the restaurant is clean and tidy, hosts are welcoming and the service is good, if a little slow at times. Food wise we all decided to go with the personal set menu. Hors d’Oeuvres, duck pancakes and 5 dishes from the main menu. The starters were decent, hot and fresh but aside from the ribs everything was a bit dry. Spring rolls, prawn toast, chicken and the seaweed were all dry with no sauces to go with them. Ribs were banging though and the crispy duck was also enjoyable. The mains were a bit hit and miss if I’m honest. The crispy chilli beef was neither crispy or chilli and bit bland really. The chicken curry was alright but nothing spectacular, as was the sweet and sour chicken. We had a chicken schezwan which was decent, nice bit of spice and the kung pao chicken was very enjoyable. None of it was wow though. Now if I’d had this meal for the £22 on the creative menu night then I think I’d have said it was reasonable value, not the best Chinese meal I’ve ever had but not too bad. The problem was, this meal cost over £200, nearly £45 a head which was a bit much for the quality of the food. A couple of beers aside it was all soft drinks. It’s known locally as a decent Chinese restaurant but I suspect this is manly for the all you can eat nights offering decent value rather than it being a high quality place to eat. By all means, if you want a decent fill of Chinese food try the all you can it ‘creative menu’ nights but I don’t think it’s worth a visit outside of these nights.
