Manor Chinese Takeaway - Stroud

My wife was out with a girl friend for the evening so I decided to get some crispy duck as this is my favourite Chinese dish. Do not normally use this place but seems popular so gave it a go. Without doubt the worst crispy duck I have ever tasted. Firstly it was not crispy, just greasy and undercooked with soft fat on the outside and a bit gristly. Plum sauce was bland and the spring onions past their sell by date, woody and chewy. Absolute disappointment, how do they stay in business producing such muck? Probably because there is no local competition, but I will never risk it again. Stomach felt a bit queasy in the morning and I have a pretty iron constitution.

I have been buying take away’s from here for years. However, the standard of the food is inconsistent. Sometimes it tastes fresh but other times dried out (especially the chicken balls in batter). I have stopped using the takeaway a few times after a poor meal only to restart because it is very conveniently located. Last weeks chicken chow mien, sweet and sour chicken balls, etc etc were very nice and ready in 10 minutes.

Authentic chinese food cooked on the premises with prompt service and good quality ingrediants. We've never been disapointed with the food although some of the staff can be quite abrupt but that does not detract from the good food served here.

Ordered two pancake rolls and hardly came with any meat at all, there was only one very small piece in the whole thing and for the prices you’re paying you expect more.

The quality is so inconsistent, I have had good tasty food and tasteless food here, depending on the day of the week!
