Hoviwa - Braintree

Myself and my partner usually order our Chinese from here as they are one of the only places to do sweet and sour chicken balls, which are my partner 's preferred dish. It has been a little tardy once or twice, but food still arrived hot and very much edible. It 's certainly not the cheapest or biggest portion sizes, but is very comparable to every other Chinese takeout in Braintree. There was one time we ordered at the actual restaurant and it was a little off-putting as it was clearly a converted living-room in a flat, with kids toys about the place, but it doesn 't stop us from ordering here.

Shame we can't choose 0 stars. Waited nearly 2 hours for delivery, and because it was so delayed, Just eat give us the option for a partial refund, which they declined straight away, cancelled the order and blocked the just eat account! Do NOT recommend.

Pre ordered foods waited nearly 2 hrs ,rang them up was told had lost my order. I said would wait half an hour for them to get it to me. Never came so nearly 3 hours rang up to be told My order had been cancelled without telling me. What terrible service won't be calling again . Didn't even want to give one star but had to.

Reasonably priced standard Chinese takeaway. Very nice chow main, chicken balls tasty but the batter a bit limp. Very good beef curry and egg fried rice. All this for £18 as the 2 person set meal, and with prawn crackers. Will try again.

Fantastic food everytime. They always give me free prawn crackers and an extra 10% off when you collect or order in store. We usually get takeaway once a fortnight and New Hoviwa is the choice most times!
