What Donna Walsh doesn't like about Slow Boat Chinese Take Away:
have not been to this takeaway for years, and after this visit I remember why, the chicken chow main had the oddest looking chicken I've ever seen, I just couldn't bring myself to eat it, as for the rest of the meal, one word salt...and lots of it, no wonder there's no scores on the doors, how people rate this place baffles me.

The person I spoke to this evening clams this site do not exist She clams she has no computer And found her rude on the phone

Despite mixed reviews, many patrons of this Chinese takeaway in Newport seem to appreciate its classic dishes and nostalgic appeal. While some experienced issues with food quality and hygiene, others rave about the delicious curry sauce and friendly staff. The lack of delivery service is a drawback, but many loyal customers continue to return for their weekend takeout. Despite some negative feedback, the overall consensus seems to be that this restaurant remains a beloved staple in the community.
