Long King Chinese Restaurant

This place might not be the most enticing looking restaurant from the outside, and if I am honest, the furnishings and decoration on the inside is a little date.....but....my goodness the food is great. We have eaten in here and had take away meals as well and have always found the taste and quality to be really good. The are always friendly when you go in. Worth noting that they only take cash (there is a cast point at cost cutters round the corner)

We had a lovely meal here last week! It was cash only, which would have been perfectly fine with us had we been expecting it, still, I should have rung up, I suppose. I had the chicken fried rice and a curry sauce, and it was absolutely lovely! My family members loved their meals as well, very tasty!

We have just come home from a week in Whitby and had a takeaway from Long King one evening. We were a bit wary of the mixed reviews, but it turned out to be one of the best meals of the holiday. We 'phoned in the order and it was coming out of the kitchen when I arrived to collect; packed in good quality containers inside a shallow cardboard box, ideal for carrying in a car without any accidents. Very thoughtful. The Long King staff were excellent: welcoming and efficient. All in all, the food was very good, but a touch on the bland side. I see the restaurant's usual response to such comments is that their clientele don't like anything too spicy. That may be so, but our Hot and Sour soup was sweet rather than sour. We missed the usual bite. The mains and rice were more than fine, though we'd chosen items which are not usually heavily spiced. I'd certainly eat again at Long King, hopefully in the restaurant next time.

The building was clean and tidy. It was within an older building and you could tell it was a bit tired however it was clean... So not to worry. The food was on the higher end of prices but it was lovley. You could probably share rice between two people if you have a lighter appetite. They had a 'lazy Susan' spinning table centre- who doesn't love those. I'd be happy to visit again. It was cash only when I visited.
