Kings Chef 88 - Blackpool

I received a flyer in my mailbox months ago and decided to give this restaurant a try. I must say, the few times I have ordered from them, I received fantastic, fresh, and hot Chinese food that I really enjoyed.

This is the best Chinese food by far. We placed a large order tonight, and they provided us with huge portions cooked to perfection.

I ordered the crispy shredded chicken, egg fried rice, seaweed, and salt and pepper ribs. The food, except for the ribs, was quite nice. However, the ribs were battered (which was not mentioned on the menu), tough as leather, and inedible for me. I attempted to strip the meat from the ribs to feed to my dogs, but there was very little meat on them (some had none at all) and it was difficult to remove the tough meat. I would recommend everything else on the menu, but if you are looking for tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs, this may not be the best place for you.

As take aways go this ain't too bad . It did take a long time to be prepared and cooked which was a dissapointment to be honest . That being said the crispy shredded beef wad some of the best I've ever tasted , moist in fresh batter . Yummy . The special fried rice was quite poor however . Very little in the way of meat or prawns . The meat was cut into sizes that I can only describe as needing an electron microscope to view . The pork although very tiny was quite nice . I was not looking for conversation when I walked in but an acknowledgement of my presence would of been nice . A shrug and a grunt is not how people like to be greeted . Overall is ok , would of been 2 stars but their shredded beef was superb . I will try again in the future .

Where to start. I went the first time was alright chips was a bit hard. The second time was a joke i was paying by card and they said they didnt accept card. I thought thats fine then. Went on just eat thinking id be able to just collect it. Nope wanted me to spend 11 quid and 3 quid to deliver to the flats at the side of the chippy, im sorry but thats just a rip off. Will not be going again
