    Although this used to be a good place for Chinese food or fish and chips, it's gone downhill very…read morebadly. Staff are rude and most can hardly speak English so often get the order wrong. Food standard varies depending on how busy they are when it's rushed and undercooked. I have also had large pieces of egg shell in my egg fried rice. This is not somewhere I would recommend.

    As this is my local takeaway, I've visited many times…read more It's... alright. It's not the best place in the world but it's not terrible either. Here's a list of good and bad factors about it - I'll leave you to decide which are which. - They are open seven days a week. Unlike most other chip shops, this means Sundays. - The portions from the fish counter are huge. We will often buy a medium bag of chips and find that it feeds two quite adequately. - The Chinese side is very quick to prepare the food, but tends to be quite greasy. - Similarly, anything cooked in batter on the fish counter will be dripping with grease... - ...and the chips tend to be cut thick, so there's rarely many crunchy ones in a bag. It tends to be busy, but people are generally served very quickly. It's well worth telephoning to place an order if you're going during peak times (5:30-7pm most nights, especially Fridays). Newbury has many other good Chinese takeaways which are worth investigating. I've struggled to find a truly outstanding chip shop in town though; although the two branches of The Plaice are alright, local consensus is that the Howan is better. Don't make an effort to go out of your way to get here, but if you're close by it'll hit the spot.
