Tai Pan - Table reservation

Arrived back from a trip early afternoon and regular Chinese was closed, so found Tai Pan which was closer and ordered a takeaway, although they have sit down. What a mistake. I have never had white special fried rice in all the decades I have been eating Chinese, there was no seasoning sauce or vegetables. The duck was soggy and the prawn toast oily. The noodles did not have any flavour. I am shocked that the chef could produce that for a customer. Really disappointed and a complete waste of my money. Never again, that will teach me to wait for my regular to open.

We haven’t visited for over a year but this is still the best Chinese’s Restaurant in the area by a mile. The Crispy Duck starter was superb. We all ordered the sizzling dishes for mains and shared. The beef I ordered was excellent, as was the prawns and lamb. My wife thought the chicken a little bland. Singapore noodles and Calamari were excellent additions. We have already booked our Christmas catch up dinner.

An “old fashioned” Chinese restaurant in the sense that the veg is canned and the sauces processed. You can almost taste the MSG. Dining experience marred by takeaway customers crowding the dining area and the manager running around like a headless chicken looking very stressed.

We have been eating at the Tai Pan for over 30 years. The food is always hot and lovely and the service is always great from Alan and the team. The seafood in szechuan peppercorn salt, kam do ribs and beef in black bean are always great.

Take away this time Excellent as always. Food was delicious and hot. Ribs were nice. Curry was lovely. Rice was nice. Chicken balls batter was under cooked. That was only issue. Can't wait to use again.
