Best Chinese in Strathaven. Food is always delicious and fresh. They sell all the Chinese/Scottish classics that you would expect, but have a lot more traditional things on the menu too if you feel adventurous. Chicken satay is excellent, spare ribs are top quality and the won ton soup is seriously delicious. Kitchen is open plan so when you go into order/collect you can see the staff making the food. Place always looks so clean and tidy!

When I order from this Chinese takeaway, I always get a friendly person taking my order, always gets delivered quickly or at least on time and the food is great. My partner actually can't eat satay sauce from anywhere else now. I have a closer Chinese restaurant to me which isn't bad but prefer Mr. Rice.

Was waited a long while for even a pre-arranged pick-up family meal, so a bit annoying; however the lady who was very busy taking the orders still very attentive and caring to myself and others also waiting there. She apologized to the delays, and make sure I had got everything I had ordered. So I think this is what we called a Service go extra miles! Mr.rice, you need up your speed with cooking! I gave you a 5 this time, but next time, I want to see your improvement! :)
