Ho-lap House - Tonbridge and Malling

I have ordered from this restaurant a few times and each time it has gotten worse. I waited over an hour for the delivery and when it finally arrived, the food was cold, the chips were soggy, and all the sauces had leaked out of their containers into the bag. I don't think I will be ordering from here anymore.

So this used to be my absolute favourite id order weekly. I don’t know why their standards have dropped so low on their food quality it tastes like it’s fried in dirty old oil, I don’t know if I have changed the chef but it is absolutely disgusting now the curry sauce smelt like a perfume. The only thing that was consistent was the vegetable rolls because they’re frozen and I even had the pleasure of old dry stale chips. With deep fried spuds eyes on them, can’t say I’m ever gonna order from there again. Such a shame as It used to be really nice.

Great food every time especially their fried squid and their fried rice/noodle dishes. We go every other week and they haven't disappointed yet! Unfortunate about price increases but can't expect them to keep the same prices when everyone else is driving them up. Besides, the meals are worth the price :

I haven't ordered takeout from this restaurant in a while, and to be honest, I wish we hadn't this time. We ordered pork chow mein in gravy but received a dry and unappetizing pork chow mein instead. The rice was bland and the chicken in our meal was rubbery. In addition, they have raised their prices. I won't be returning to this restaurant. There are better options out there that offer better value for money and a more enjoyable dining experience.

We 've purchased a takeaway from Ho Lap twice now. Since it 's so hard to find a decent one in the area, we went on recommendation. The first order wasn 't too bad, and probably the only decent one out of all the takeaways we 've tried recently. However, our second order yesterday was somewhat disappointing. As others have mentioned, everything seems to taste the same. There 's no 'freshness ' about any of their food. Everything is overcooked and quite hard, and literally breaded, battered, and deep fried. Even the meat in the special fried rice, which, although had a nice flavour, had hard bits of meat in it. I really fancied the salt and pepper chicken wings, and yet they turned up breaded, which isn 't clearly stated on the menu. The salt and pepper king prawns are really good, though. To me, it seems they haven 't got a chef who knows how to cook Chinese food, and they simply deep fry everything on the menu. Sadly I think our search will have to continue, as this place isn 't cheap either.
