Overall great. Staff is quick and snappy with the orders, friendly towards all customers. Great…read moresauces, especially the sweet and sour sauces, as it goes absolutely great with the chicken balls. Serves all forms of secondary foods, with both rice and chips, among others. Truly the best takeaway in town.

The island star is a chinese take-away just opposite the bus station in Stornoway…read more There's a large menu comparable with most chinese take-aways everywhere. The main area is quite large and though a bit shabby looking is clean. There's a bench seat stretching along two walls so plenty space to sit and wait for your order which is usually available in 10 to 15 minutes. Prices are amongst the cheaper of the Chinese restaurants in stornoway and the food is good, highly recommend the chicken satay. They do student deals at lunch time so it can get quite busy between 1 and 2 when the local secondary gets its lunch. The staff are always friendly and helpful. You can also phone in a take-away order if you prefer so no need to wait inside, just pick it up and pay after the time they give you.

While on a bus tour around Scotland, I ended up in Ullapool, which, purportedly, had "the best fish…read moreand chips in the world." Wanting to stuff that in my craw as quickly as possible, I went to the first place I saw, decorated with fish and chips award sticks, Seefresh Foods. I should comment and say that this is a chip shop, not a sit-down kind of restaurant. You buy your fish and chips, and then you go wander over to a sunny table near the docks and sit down and eat them (while being accosted by seagulls). I stood in line and got a reasonably large portion of fish and chips for a decent price. The quality of the chips and batter were fine, but the fish did seem a little bit dry/not freshly cooked. This would have been okay, on its own, but what made me give this shop a 2 star review is that, a few hours later, I discovered my traveling companions had gotten much better quality fish and chips from a shop right around the corner. I was slightly peeved. Bottom line, go around the corner and go to "The Chippy," which is attached to the "Seaforth Inn" and get your fish and chips there.
