    We decided to order a takeaway from Jacks Restaurant as the Stamford Bridge Chinese has gone down hill and we were so pleased we did. The service was great from ordering and delivery. The food was so fresh and tasty. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

    We are regulars for the buffet, £22 per adult and £10 per child. You order from the menu, and everything is cooked fresh. The mixed appetisers are good to start with. Then the roast duck, more chicken sesame toast, and spring rolls. Spare ribs, and special fu yung. Great value for money, as long as you have an appetite. Staff are very Friendly and attentitive. It's our best chinese restaurant in the whole of Yorkshire. 10 out of 10 from us. Will be returning soon. Advisable to book.
