I haven't been here for a long time, always opting to go to Man Lee however after one visit we have been converted. We've now been back 3 times and the food is always amazing, hot and full of flavour. I have to say the lady in the takeaway is always so welcoming. We will be back again soon. View all feedback.
What DudMar dislikes about Dobo:
For the area it’s the best Chinese in and around Burnley and Pendle. That’s not saying much though as the Chinese take outs on offer in the Burnley area are terrible. I’ve eaten some amazing Chinese meals around the world and some pretty amazing places in the uk. This compared to the places I’ve been means this place is just bang average. Saying that but compared to the places around here, this is by far the best Chi... View all feedback.

I couldn't go to my usual Chinese restaurant on Monday, so I decided to try Dobo again. I'm so happy I did because the food was fantastic. I ordered the special in a black bean sauce and the beef was incredibly tender, unlike other Chinese takeaways where you have to chew forever. It just melted in my mouth. The chips were also delicious. I will definitely give this place 5 stars and will be coming back for more visits in the future.
I recently tried a meal from a restaurant called dobo, and I have to say it was the worst Chinese food I have ever had in my entire life. I have had some bad Chinese food before, but this was a real disappointment. I highly recommend staying away from this place.

I dined at this restaurant for the first time in a long while and was not disappointed. The Chinese food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the delivery was on time. Overall, it was great value for money.
Best Chinese takeaway in Nelson/Burnley area. Food is tasty and fresh and the portion are large. We have the food delivered from Nelson to Burnley and when it arrives it is always piping hot. Excellent value for money.

The food is amazing, but the delivery service is consistently slow (around 2 hours), so it's best to place your order well in advance.
We just ordered from Dobos again and I'm so happy we did! The delivery is really quick (usually about 25 minutes) and the service from the restaurant and delivery driver is top-notch! The food always arrives piping hot, which is not always the case with other restaurants, and the food itself is delicious! As someone who loves Chinese food and has tried many Chinese restaurants in the area, I can honestly say that Dobos is the best! Wow!
Reviewed 2 hours ago, originally rated 1 star. However, after receiving a full refund and extra food, the experience was much improved. The food itself was delicious. Service is typically quick.
