The driver came really fast after I ordered. I was surprised to see the phone call literally 12 minutes after I ordered. The driver I think it's from the business as well and was nice and delivered a pipping hot order. Everything was hot, delicious and delivered with care.

Absolutely appalling look at this dish of ribs. You should be ashamed of yourself, you come into this country and take the piss out of the people that got you in. Complete losers.

Had not the most nicest experience with this place. Ordered through Uber Eats, have not received food on time, so called the restaurand. The guy on the phone barelly speak English so was very hard to explain what I want. But finally I got an answer that he will prepare the food now and I should get my order after another 30 min!? While received the order and checked I saw that I received pork ribs instead of squid. Chown mein looked like not freshly made so we did not even eat them. Chrispy shredered beef was awful taste. I could say that it was waste of money.

I wasn’t a fan of this takeaway. I’d not eat again. The noodles or chow mein were ok but they were a bit spicy. The delivery was 15 or 20 mins which was ok. As we’ve ordered via Just Eat.

Have used a lot over the last 10 years, very polite phone manners, and is the best Chinese food around, not to greasy and flavours stand out unlike most. Crispy chile beef or chicken actually crispy and meat not stringy/over cooked Not the cheapest around, but only one I have seen with a Food standards agency rating of 5 (Dec 2023) Is now my only place to order :)

Ordered through Just eat and the place I normally use was closed, so used these and half my order was missing and it looks like something my dog has produced and when I phoned the women wasnt interested and said just sort it out with just eat.

Order over £80 of food. Waited 90 mins for food, ordered via JustEat, was told food was in its way. Waited 30 minutes, rang to see where it was only to be told that it hadn t left, and was ready. It had been there 10-15 minutes and would take another 10-15 minutes to arrive, it was because they had a lot of orders . ?!

This is a brilliant chinese takeaway, the drivers are fast and orderly, and the food here is always hot and tasty

December 21, 2022

First time using Red Sun. Item missing from my order and the food that did arrive is generally tasteless, the BBC sauce in the ribs tastes like weak gravy, even the sweet and sour sauce is bland. Quick delivery time, but still waiting for the missing item to be delivered so actually we have been waiting an hour and a half to eat. Such a shame.

Worst Chinese in Gillingham! The young man on the phone is absolutely CLUELESS! Why does the food taste like they use Indian seasoning? All I can taste is curry powder! Wasted £23 gave it to my dogs!!!

What a shame delivery is poor... it was over an hour late and lukewarm!! Such a pity as it did taste pretty good. Spoilt our evening and when we did chase up the restaurant for updates they didn t seem at all fussed. I would say go elsewhere as I ve had better.

Ordered today from Deliveroo and it arrived very promptly for a Friday night! Seems like most people who have delivery issues order from uber eats! Food was pretty good for a local Chinese takeout not too greasy, full of flavour and we had no issues with out order! Will definitely be ordering again!

December 21, 2021

Ordered here on Wednesday 21st july, through the just eat app, order was confirmed and listed as driver on their way, waited 45mins tried to call the restaurant, no answer, tried again still no answer, 1 hour passes and still no food still no answer on the phone, first time trying to order here, definately will not be trying again, got a refund from just eat for the food but not for the delivery. waste of time!!

December 21, 2021

Our food delivery was over an hour late. When calling the restaurant they explained the food had left a while ago. Unfortunately this meant the food was cold and inedible. The driver did not speak English which made conversation extremely difficult. I am extremely unhappy with the service. Looking at the reviews of this Chinese restaurant, I can see I am not the only one who had been waiting such a long time.

December 21, 2021

Its a shame both times ordered from this place and both times I have had to travel back down there for them to correct my order. I enquired for some sort of compensation and was offered another bag of prawn crackers which I dont touch anyway, but it was only a stressful conversation and me walking back to the takeaway to confirm my order was wrong that she offered me a generous 10 percent off my next order which I believe is a mile seeing as they fight you for that inch. Ohh and also if you spend the required amount for free wings make sure you confirm that with them otherwise you will be without nice family night ruined Thankyou red sun

I have been using this takeaway for a while and last night I was disgusted with the customer experience. I ordered rice noodles with no veg! As my wife has allergies to onion and does not like bean sprouts the order I went to collect at 11.30 with the rest of my order to arrive home to find the notes left was not read I called only to be told we will sort this out next time I said this is no good as they said that they was closed but when I was waiting for my food the lady was on the phone taking a order it was the restaurants fault you would think they would fix instead I had to get a refund that I had to argue for.

Ordered tonight from Uber eats, rung 3 times as food was nearly 2 hrs late, finally got cold wrong food, took 20 minutes to get them on phone only to be told they couldn t refund me for inedible food, disgusting, will be reporting to food hygiene.

December 21, 2020

Worst place. Ordered at 7pm still no delivery by 9pm phoned. Was told good wasn t even cooked and would not be with us until after 10pm. Absolute joke.

December 21, 2020

Ordered via Just eat. The restaurant marked my order as delivered when it didnt even arrive. When I finally got through to them 4 hours later they admitted that my order hadnt even been prepared. Absolute JOKE! !!!!!!Avoid at all costs!!!!!!

December 21, 2020

Pre ordered via just eat at 4pm for delivery at 8, delivery time kept getting pushed back eventually by 2 hours, then at after 10pm tje order was cancelled bu the restaurant, the phone was taken off the hook constantly engaged. Terrible service will never use again.

For the love of God! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE... I ordered through Uber eats, literally ordered one thing... duck and pancake... After missing the delivery time, and after several attempts of calling them i got though, to which they said they had not even begun preparing my food... the ONE item i ordered

December 21, 2020

Ordered through Uber Eats at 6.30pm. Didnt arrive until 8.45pm. I called constantly but only got through once at 7.40pm. I was told that the delivery had just left. It was an hour later when it arrived. Freezing cold food. Will not be ordering from here again.

Fantastic food. And to say Chinese is fairly dear at times, this place is spot on

December 21, 2019

Food arrived over 30mins late, had leaked in bag and they had sent an incorrect dish. No apology, just extremely RUDE and OBNOXIOUS staff. Will never order from here again. Also food wasnt nice. AVOID!!!!

December 21, 2019

Absolutely terrible service, ordered and waited an hour and 40 minutes so I walked up our private lane to see if we could see the delivery driver... to our surprise he was sat there in the car and when I approached him he informed me our delivery was mixed up with someone elses and he had already been sitting there 10 minutes. I then told him it wasnt any trouble and we would just go back and wait for the correct food... another 45 minutes pass so I rang up the restaurant, they told me it is on route. Our food finally arrives another 25 minutes later, we walk up the lane and collect and go back home to dish up, to find they have given us a PRAWN choimain instead of CHICKEN.. I am pregnant so cannot eat prawns/seafood. I rang the restaurant back up and was so polite to then be told there is nothing they can do except give us a chicken choimain on our NEXT order!! I tell the woman on the phone that I am pregnant (hence cannot eat Prawns)and the Chicken choimain was the main part of my meal (out of the whole chinease I only had Chicken balls, rice and what was meant to be my chicken choimain so my whole dinner was just chicken balls and rice because they messed it up) I then asked for a refund as my food wasnt what I ordered, it was cold and I had already waited nearly 3 hours for the food in the first place and it was so late by this point that I was going to bed and couldnt eat the food even if i wanted to and it was correct, I then got shouted at by a man who I presume is the chef/owner and the lady ended up hanging the phone up on me. I have never been so gobsmacked at the lack of customer service that I unfortunately had to experience that night. Never again will i order from this place, and I encourage others to stay clear unless you want to help these greedy people profit from customers they do not give two micks about!!

Ordered via Uber Eats: Order arrived with the restaurants driver an hour late and stone cold. When calling the restaurant they didn t want to help. Advised me to contact Uber as it s their issue. You should of checked it was hot while the driver was there so I offered for them to send their driver back as he d only just left and I d give them the food back. They refused. All in all poor service and cold food.

Absolutely discussing delivery behaviour I have ever witnessed not only was the food over half and hour late but the driver was aggressive when confronted about how long he took to deliver not only that him and his mate stunk of weed. When we called the takeaway to complain we were fobbed off and we not offered anything to keep our custom. Will NEVER order from this establishment again due to the rude disgraceful service and behaviour

worst chicken curry we have ever had and not interested in helping because we put it in the bin. so if you want a half warm tasteless chicken curry this is the place to go.

Food is usually very good and cooked very quickly. Order from here on a weekly basis, never had a single problem or complaint.

December 21, 2015

Called for an order on 1st of July, 1st the wrong dish was delivered, when we called we were told we had to pay a difference to other dish we actually wanted, completely fine with this and obliged. However when the delivery boy returned he was completely rude to us, once we opened the door he simply answered money...and food not even an apology, or a hello. We will never be using here again, by the time wed waited for our dish to come back most of our food was cold and unenjoyable!
