Paya - Hertsmere

Ordered a delivery from here. Quite possibly the worst Chinese takeaway I have ever had. Sweet and sour wrong. Char Sui pork wrong. “Authentic Chinese curry” wrong. Fried noodles which I can only describe as dry cut up raw ramen noodles. Even...the rice was stodgy. Nothing authentic about any of it. Added to all of that, it took over an hour to arrive and when I called to see why it was late, they lied and said it was already on its way and then suspiciously about 10 mins later the delivery status on Uber eats changed to “On it’s way”. I don’t ordinarily leave such bad reviews, but it was such poor quality that I felt it was needed. Would definitely not recommend. Most of the food went straight in the bin, complete waste of money.

Way too salty to the point where we couldn't eat it. A platter mixed in order and then cooked in a way not as described. Not good.

Never ordered from this place before but our local chinese is closed in these current times and this was the nearest one we could find. Placed the order over the phone of what we would usually order from our local (that would normally cost around...£50) was told over the phone that it was £72.45 which we thought was extreme but thought it would be worth it if it was nice! (wish I'd looked at the reviews before we ordered was firstly disappointed to hear that they had NO prawn crackers so we didnt even get anything complimentary for the amount we were spending! We couldnt believe it when it arrived, to say minimal for the money was an understatement none of the dishes were filled up, the mixed starter tray consisted of minimal amount compared to what we'd get from our usual chinese and nothing had much taste! They did deliver within the hour that they had stated but got lost en route so the food was barely warm. When the driver called for directions to our house he was extremely rude! Would definitely not order from these people again ... absolute daylight robbery to charge £72.45 for what we had!!

Appalling. Dumplings undercooked TWICE Chicken balls completely overcooked and inedible. Ribs have no meat or taste. We sent back the first order as cold and see above. Only to received the second order even worse. On calling the restaurant they conveniently turned off...their phone or was given user busy. Awful.

Unfortunately not mind you just look at windows that are filthy .and you can see them if they cannot be bothered to clean front of house viewing
