Bowan Chinese Takeaway

We've used the Bowan for over 20 years and have never had a problem but our last visit was so disappointing, we thought it strange and believe that it has changed hands. Sorry to say we will not be going back!

For the last couple years, the chef had changed, and the quality took a bit of a dive...but recently, the original chef came back, and it is once again the best chinese in Daventry. Glad to have you back finally!

the food was tasty, although the sweet and acidic dish had something too much sauce. it only took a little more substance to sauce and it would have been perfect. the Chinese pork was excellent, as was the young lady at the reception, which was friendly and helpful. Speisekarte ansehen

Ordered a lot of food for 8 people, the order was ready in 20 minutes that we felt was very rushed. When the order came half of the food was missing. Someone at the Bowan did notice and delivered some more of the food to us, but there was still a lot of food from our order missing after this. Very disappointed

I used to frequent this takeout restaurant for over 10 years, but in the past year, the quality has been inconsistent. I tried Happy Chef as an alternative, but also experienced some disappointing meals there. Now, I prefer to avoid takeout and opt for Indian cuisine instead. Little India is a great option, as they cook in plain view and consistently deliver delicious food.

I've always loved Bowman's food but tonight I have to say it was absolutely vile. I don't often do reviews but I had a basic chicken breast chow me in. Turned up on the bone and i wished I'd cooked. If this was my first meal here I'd never go back. Thankfully I've eaten here before and will go back to my usual order, as normally the best. Everyone has a bad day and I hope I never have to repeat what I ate tonight. Speisekarte ansehen

Ordered Sunday evening, spare ribs which tasted like they are been boiled rather than slow cooked, the meat was so tough it was inedible, ordered kung po pork, more batter than pork when there was pork it was tough and dry, we ended up throwing the whole lot away what a wastep of time and money, we will never spend another penny of our hard earned money in your takeaway, I suggest you reasess your chef quality control immediately

A few months ago we ordered a take away including vegetable dumplings as I cut them I noticed meat so called complained and asked for a refund, today ordered another take away making sure that I got vegetable one and yet again meat in them! I am disgusted this time I bit into them! As a life king vegetarian it made me feel ill so another call and awaiting refund! Need to find another Chinese! Oh and had to wait over 30 mins for food!

I used to highly recommend Bowan in the past for their tasty, hot, and fresh food. However, my recent experience has deterred me from returning. The chicken satay skewers were strange and the pancake rolls were terrible - the pancake was undercooked on the inside but very crispy on the outside. The noodles, rice, and prawn crackers were good, but the crispy chili chicken was just okay. It used to be much better. Overall, there is room for significant improvement at Bowan. Speisekarte ansehen
