Kwok Pao

Ordered tonight and really disappointed. I’m not sure why not pouring sauce all over deep fried meat was like asking for her kidney but hey ho , they must pour the sauce rather than do what every other restaurant seems capable of an just putting it in a container, was too much of a challenge. The duck was full of bits of gristle and bone; I thought the taste of soil was maybe from the spring onion but bizarrely it was the hoisin sauce…not sure how they managed to make it taste like I was licking an unwashed carrot but they managed it. The wontons taste burnt but at least they’re crispy. Chow Mein was bland, but they managed to make up for the lack of seasoning in that in the curry. Who doesn’t love salt?? Playing find the Char siu pork was fun though it might have been better if we changed it to find the mushroom cause it felt like that’s all there was. Maybe they’re trying to encourage us to go vegan, who knows?! The prawn crackers taste like they’ve been there since last Halloween! Overall a disappointing spread and for £50 and not a fortune cookie in sight! .

One of my favourite Chinese takeaways I've ever had. So much so that for my 18th birthday, we ordered over £100 of food for a party, rather than go to a restaurant. Such an amazing place, always with friendly staff behind the counter. The one downside of Kwok Pao, is that it is quite a bit spicier than most Chinese takeaways. I usually order items with Cantonese sauce when getting Chinese, because I'm not too keen on ridiculously spicy food, at least if I'm trying to enjoy a takeaway. But Cantonese sauce from here is really really spicy, despite the fact is usually isn't from literally anywhere else. Amazing place, but your usual will probably be a tad spicier from here!

Been using this Chinese for 30 years still one of the best in Newcastle. Great food, great choice and friendly service from Kevin. I actually used to go to school with him many years ago and I used to go there in my teens. Still amazing food now 30 years on. Great food and great service.
