What Neil Palmer likes about The Rising Sun:
The food here first of all was very nice. Although one of our dishes did lack a little flavour overall it was lovely. The KungPo was excellent. Couple of reviews saying here the portion sizes aren’t great, I would agree but there was enough so not really an issue. Staff were lovely and friendly only issue I had it’s the only Chinese I have gone to where you spend over £20 and don’t get some prawn crackers thrown in!!... View all feedback. What Tom Matthews doesn't like about The Rising Sun:
Ordered hose special chow mein pork fried rice and sweet n sour chicken balls pork was off stunk the whole house out. Tried ringing but no answer so went back into town and funny they r closed... environmental health next step. View all feedback.

Wow, this restaurant is a total scam with terrible food. Do not waste your money here. I ordered £35 worth of food for two people, which would have been enough...

This Chinese takeaway is excellent. I highly recommend it. I have been a loyal customer for years and would not go anywhere else.

The Rising Sun in Yeovil has received consistently positive reviews for their delicious and well-prepared Chinese food, great customer service, and fast delivery. Customers rave about dishes like the Salt and Pepper King Prawns, generous portion sizes, and reasonable prices. In contrast, other local Chinese restaurants have faced criticism for poor food quality, long delivery times, and lackluster customer service. While some customers have been loyal to other establishments for years, many have switched to The Rising Sun for its high-quality, fresh, and flavorful dishes, making it the go-to spot for Chinese food in Yeovil.

Dish not provided as asked for. Maybe they were busy or it was the Sunday chef, but a little disappointed. Usually very good, it’s a shame.
