Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Customers rave about the sweet and sour chicken, often described as the best they've ever had. Many also recommend the smoked shredded chicken as a fantastic starter that can't be missed. The friendly staff consistently earn high marks from patrons, contributing to a welcoming dining experience. The open kitchen concept means diners can enjoy the sight and aroma of their food being prepared, adding another layer to the enjoyment. In times of busy dinner hours, quick service remains a strong point, allowing customers to satisfy their cravings promptly.

Most Disliked

Some customers express disappointment with the limited seating for dine-in options, especially during peak hours. The takeaway model can create challenges for those hoping to dine on-site, as the atmosphere may feel less engaging. A few patrons have reported experiencing delays during busier times, leading to frustration when craving their favorite dishes. While the quality remains high, some diners prefer restaurants where they can enjoy a more formal and leisurely meal setting. Though the vast menu is a highlight, the plethora of choices can feel overwhelming for first-time visitors.

Beautiful, beautiful food. Sweet and sour chicken was the best I've ever had so far. Hands down best Chinese food in the area. UNMATCHED. I had ordered from several different Chinese takeaways in the area and all of them were frankly a complete waste of money. These guys are the real deal.

*2017* Best Chinese in the area. All of their food is freshly made to order. It has an open plan area so you can see the whole kitchen at work. Very friendly staff. I used to go to Master Chef which on occasion made me feel ill. I've also been to other local take away when So's Kitchen was closed, but none of them were at the same level of quality and taste, *Edit 2024 - Still the best Chinese takeaway I've ever had*

Food was tasty and not greasy or overly salty, they followed our requests - i asked for sliced chillis on a dish and they delivered perfectly. Portions were very decent. We received an incorrect item and the person I called about it was very helpful and they gave us our money back without any issues. It was our first time ordering from So's Kitchen, but we'd definitely order from them again.
