Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Syston House is frequently praised for its exceptional chicken balls, which are a must-try. One bite reveals their juicy, tender interior, perfectly complemented by a crispy coating. The chow mein selections also receive rave reviews, with house special variants that balance flavors expertly.
Another highlight is the restaurant's hospitable staff, who create a warm and inviting environment, adding to the overall experience. Diners appreciate the prompt service, ensuring meals are ready in under 15 minutes, especially on weeknights after a long day. The value for money is worthwhile as well; generous portions and quality ingredients stand out, making every meal satisfying and affordable.
Most Disliked
Some customers express disappointment about the lack of delivery options. While the quick takeaway service compensates for this, the inconvenience of needing to travel may deter some potential diners, especially on colder or rainy evenings.
A few patrons might find limited dine-in space on busier nights, occasionally leading to longer waits for a table, despite the efficient service. Moreover, the cash-only payment method has caught a few guests by surprise, reminding everyone to ensure they have cash on hand before heading over.

Excellent Takeaway Experience in Leicester During the recent Halloween holiday, we took our children to explore Leicester and selected this time-honoured Chinese takeaway for a meal. It is, without a doubt, the finest takeout I have ever experienced. The food was remarkably fresh and flavorful, and it was still delightfully warm upon our arrival at the holiday rental. Our son highly enjoyed the chicken balls, chicken noodles, and the sweet and sour chicken. We also found the staff to be exceptionally hospitable and kind. I would strongly recommend this establishment to anyone. It is certain to meet your expectations.
