    Sorry but this place falls well short of three star; it's really just poor quality take out food…read moreput on plates rather than into containers and it's without the finesse needed to be a serious restaurant. It's a real pity as the city needs a fine Chinese restaurant. The starters were sort of goodish but instead of an intensely flavoured peanut sauce, with the satay chicken starter, it was more a spiced peanut oil from a jar. I had the salted chilli ribs and these were probably the best of the dishes we had. Our mains once again had no finesse. I had the Kung Po chicken and it was very poor. I really didn't want to eat it as it even looked grim and tasted grim too. Kung Po which is claimed to be Chairman Mao's favourite dish, is meant to be a velvety sauce, barely no liquid, with the intensely flavoured sauce coating the chicken; instead it was watery, with little discernible taste. I've had fantastic Kung Po dishes but I can't count this place as what I got was no more Kung Po than I am an astronaut. It bordered on unpleasant. It's easier to say what wasn't in the dish that should have been: so it had no Sichuan pepper, no Chinese wine nor black vinegar, no dark soy, no hoisin, in other words absolutely nothing of big flavour that makes it anything close to Kung Po - the menu should read boiled chicken in lukewarm, slightly sweet water. My wife had the sweet and sour chicken dish - this was a fair take away dish but again no refinement-the sauce was cloying, it's consistency was nearer that of a soft set jam and unbalanced; more vinegar than sugar. The fried rice too was poor takeaway quality, doused in cheap chemically made soy sauce. They offered a two and three course menu with cake being the dessert. No thanks folks. Finally the set menu has no prawn main offered - not even at an up-charge. I wish them well I really do but it's not for me. I think they'll have to up their game as a restaurant. If I want poor quality takeaway Chinese food I'm spoiled for choice in this city but it's half the price to take home rather than sitting in here. Finally when I saw the name Humming I thought Bird would be the next part but it's Humming. I wonder if they know that we North Irish use this word to describe something that stinks or is rotten - who am I to argue.

    Not opened that long but the staff are quite friendly and the food nice…read more Shame about the name and there is room for improvements but happy with Humming for now.

    The Four Seasons is regularly described as 'really authentic', the reason being that it is really…read moreauthentic. We had a meal there last week before going onto somewhere else and, as usual, we were more than pleased. Nothing can quite beat the pleasure of perusing a menu with a cold Tsing Tao Chinese beer in your hand. While you're doing this, The Four Seasons, like most Chinese restaurants, serves prawn crackers while you do this, but it also serves little dishes of fire-hot chilli dip and a green chive and ginger dipping sauce that could lead to a momentary lapse in table manners as you try to scoop up the last bits. We always over-order, so we agreed to have 2 starters and one main course: how can I describe what their hand-made dumplings taste like? Or the 8 inch long, skinny spring rolls with their own pork and garlic filling? Kimchee beef followed, more beer and what do you know? Stuffed - again! Here are my tips for a successful visit: loose clothes, no thoughts of going on to party anywhere else, and a nice bed to drift into later! The staff are lovely and the clientele loyal, it's reasonably pricey, but so what when there's no pink, gloopy sweet and sour sauce in sight? This is a restaurant to treat yourself to, but you'll want to go back, I promise.

    The Four Seasons is a really nice Chinese restaurant on the Dublin road ideally situated for a…read moregreat spot to start your night out (and line your stomach!) The menu is vast and after a long deliberation I decided to try their crispy shredded beef with chili sauce- it didn't disappoint! The food was really good and the portion's were big too which is always great! They gave us free prawn crackers and the house wine was really nice too. We were with a group of 8 people and this didn't seem to phase the staff or the kitchen who all took it in their stride. Great pace to go for s date or with a big group as they can cater for all really well.

    On a day when there's absolutely no chance of cooking there's nothing better than having an…read moreexcellent Chinese takeaway near by to sooth the blues. This evening Lill's successfully eased a particularly vicious hangover. Lilli's is located at the bottom of Grey's Hill in Bangor, a short walk from the town centre and the local hotspots and a short drive from the surrounding area. There's fantastic parking across the road if you are driving for a sit in meal or are just picking up. This evening we decided that facing the world might be a little too much to handle so we ordered our food over the phone and decided to collect. On collection I got to pop inside to see the decor and although it was authentic it looked dated. This building has been a Chinese for as long as I can remember but under a variety of different names. The food was just ok, not bad but not amazing. There were 6 of us eating and no one was blown away with their meal. I ordered salted chili chicken and my first impression was that it was on the smaller side, especially in comparison to our usual takeaway in Belfast. The overall quality of the meals wasn't fantastic. I would love to make a return visit to check what the food is like when you sit in. On the plus side the food was ready quickly and perhaps it suffered because of that! 3 Stars - A-OK!

    I have ordered from Lilli's several times now and to be perfectly honest it's been a mixed…read moreexperience. The positives are that you can order a kids meal and the portion is large enough for me to be satisfied. On the native front they often forget items, for instance last night they neglected to give us prawn crackers. We usually order online, so that process is remotely is straightforward. Although you should expect to wait around 40 minutes. In Bangor you are spoilt for choice when it comes to Asian takeaways, they vary i quality but if you're looking for decent food and a simple ordering process Lilli's is a good bet.
