What blueandwhitehoops doesn't like about Szechaun Express:
Yuk We spent nearly £30 for 2 people for our Saturday Takeaway and unfortunately it all went in the bin. Disgusting soup so thick it would hardly come out of the pot. Chicken in pineapple was gross tasted like grapefruit. Horrible prawn crackers didn't enjoy it at all. This will be my last visit. We need a decent Chinese restaurant in Newbury and Thatcham miss The Laurel. View all feedback. What Samantha Kennedy likes about Szechaun Express:
Grandchildren were delighted to get a take-away after school and it didn't disappoint--duck pancakes, seaweed, rice ,satay skewers, prawn crackers and chow mein all disappeared very quickly! Delicious! View all feedback.

Gone badly down hill. Very bad food on two occasions now. Shame it used to be great.

Szechwan Express in Newbury and Thatcham is a mixed bag when it comes to reviews. While some customers found the food to be bland and tasteless, others praised the restaurant for serving delicious and high-quality dishes. The chilli beef seems to be a standout dish, with many customers raving about its flavor and quality. The takeaway service is quick and efficient, making it a convenient option for those looking for a tasty meal. While some customers may have been disappointed with their orders, others found Szechwan Express to be a reliable choice for a satisfying meal.

Very disappointing dinner, the chicken and mushroom was simply tasteless and the Szechuan prawns mostly consisted of onion chunks. Would no be ordering again.
