Hmmm...I think the Gourmet Star is under new management. Cos they suck now. They've changed the menu and recipes and it's all rubbish :(

oh, yes they have, about a month ago, and I agree 110%. The empire down the road it ok, that or you get a delivery from the Chertsy one, but you have to spend min £15 - is pretty nice though.

Hmmm, should have mentioned this on [livejournal.com profile] egham

It sucks muchly. Their Kung Po chilli chicken was awesome. Popcorn chicken in a a yummy hot chilli sauce. Now they do some lame weak sweet chilli chicken instead. I can't see me ordering from there again. I guess [livejournal.com profile] nuuki finished filling the old owners' kids college funds so they could retire ;)

Quite possibly! It was very very good :( I am MUCHLY disappointed at the change.

At some point I may put a series of notes on [livejournal.com profile] egham about restaurants and maybe other shops(?) - it is not much used!

The Peking Chef does telephone orders (but you collect)
Soya (Pooley Green), China Chef (Chertsey) and Jade Palace (Staines) all have £15 min on free delivery
Empire House however has £12 min on free delivery according to the menu I have.

The one up on the green delivers too. And like Gourmet Star, if you don't order enough, they'll just charge you a bit extra for delivery.

Yeah, we noticed that the oter day when we ordered from them for the first time in ages... they now, quite frankly, suck.

I'd recommend Soya.

Blue Sky do delivery now as well (the one down near the library), and have improved in the past few months. They also do pretty good set meals for one, which is pretty handy.
