I wasn't going to watch this video...then I said, 'Why not, let's give it a go.'
Ah you're too kind, thank you
🤣🤣🤣
Me neither as I loathe Chinese food but I can't resist seeing Gary's verdicts 😊
Heard that somewhere before? 😂
@@pixie706 I love Chinese food. Was just being a wiseguy. I don't eat duck though. Not a fan of the flavor...but that's just me. But I always love any Gary production. Tune in for the review, stay for, "Let's Give it a Go."
As a Chinese myself. I am going to say, the two restaurants are not really comparable in terms of style and quality. Duck and rice is more of a traditional Guangdong Chinese cuisine, the cafe is more of a takeaway style modified for the British. That duck in duck and rice in terms of portion size is actually quite generous and very authentic - baked in a big oven, the cafe one is not really a roast duck, it’s called roast duck but it’s actually cooked in a wok most of the time. Kung bao chicken id say both didn’t make it too well. Traditionally, the sauce is chilly based with a touch of dark and light soy.
I’d go to duck and rice hands down for authenticity but they are a bit pricy
it's just cheap entertainment
It's good to listen to someone with experience! ( And yrs back when I lived in London,I had a Chinese friend who really knew where to eat& he took me to a few of these Rests& he ordered!) And the thing is ur paying for location at the Duck& Rice and their catering to either Tourists or local Workers = more Dosh!
..The other place ( where I went to school,supposedly!)is providing a really good value,unsophisticated service!
For the UK Café looked like late night Chinese takeaway after the pub but for the price yes. Never been to China one time authentic Chinese in China town Manchester yes they have a small one. 5 type intestines in brown sauce. Sorry give me some general Tows. in future.
@@mikenewbold1699 you clearly hate your life and everything in it
As a Chinese I'm sure you're absolutely correct. However Chinese food like Indian food has adapted into something different for the British market. They are what we have come to love, but I agree there authenticity is questionable but British Chinese food is an offshoot of Chinese cuisine 😊
Wings cafe any day Gary! Love your honest, Precise, Relaxed, No clickbait or frills reviews, Just what i need to see after a hard days graft! I look forward to seeing loads more 👌
So kind Scotty thank you 😊
I like the takeaway better as well. Just a great value for the price.
You can't argue with the value whatsoever
I complained about the bright lighting in my local Chinese restaurant.
The waiter asked - "What do you expect me to do about the lights sir?"
I said "Dim Sum?".
Great video and I'll get my coat . .
Brilliant Paul. Made me laugh!
Oh, brother. Hope you don't get clobbered in a pub. Then again, cute "Dad joke". 😃
I asked the manager of my local Chinese restaurant if he had any specials, he replied yes, 'too much foo yung'....I'll get my coat.
Reminds me of a very non-PC gag I once heard about a Jew, a Muslim and a Korean guy named Yoo Kut Too...
😂😂😂
The CZcams algorithms sent me here, I was watching the rate my takeaway channel for 3 years but I must say your reviews are a level up from his (no shade to Danny). He's worked his way up to 650K subscribers and fair play to him but you are definitely in my opinion a more detailed reviewer. And when it comes to subscription quality size doesn't matter
Hello there and I'm glad you like the channel. Danny is a fantastic CZcamsr and wish him all the best but thank you for your very kind comment. I try to be as detailed as possible :) have a good week!
Size doesn’t matter? Danny is well on the way to being a millionaire so he might disagree!
is danny paid to do the reviews ?
Danny is a character though, he's quirky with his heavy Yorkshire accent and his "NOW THEN GUYS HOW YA DOIN, BACK ON T'ROAD AGAIN". He has a laugh and a joke with the audience, whereas Gary is more serious, calmer and detailed. It's horses for courses for a lot of people, I enjoy both but I can see why Danny would have a bigger audience especially with the younger generation, as he's more of an 'entertainer'.
@@jonsnow7586Plus people like to see his knacker cracker..
Liked the look of the cheaper Chinese. The portion sizes are so different. Thanks again for another great content 😊
Thank you Dawn I agree 😊
Rarely worth spending loads on Chinese in my experience, the cheap stuff is normally 2/3 as good and 1/2 the price! Great vid
Agreed James, thank you!
Good way to put it. I agree
Good observation, I agree too.
@@GaryEats An friend/Neighbor of my Sisters( ur side of the Water!) He's an old Scots gent, impeccable manners,was born in India&spent about 10 yrs working in Asia( in Banking) so we Dined out with him,quite a few times&,he knows his Asian food& he has picked out some really nice Rest ( a few expensive ones, admittedly for Birthdays) and the food,&ambience has been impressive!
.But i think those ' 'West End' Chinatown Rest are mostly for Tourists or for Theatre&Media types!
.So the cuisine and prices can often be a let down!
Well I'm glad you did give it a go Gary, Wings cafe hands down looked the best of the two. Well done on 55k subscribers as well, its really taking off!
Thanks Nick, hope you enjoyed it mate 👍
I love these comparison videos, actually I enjoy an evening with a bit of Gary Eats included. Cheers Gary.
Thank you Paul really appreciated
Hey Gary great to see you again mate loving the content keep up the great work 👍
Thanks David, much appreciated mate. How are you? 👍
@@GaryEats doing very best mate cheers 🥂
Hi Garry, my parents and I watch your videos all the time when you come on the screen and the iconic “lets give it a go” it makes all are days. Keep it up 👍
Please send me an email with you’re name and also mum and dads so I can send you a message if ok 👍
I stumbled upon your channel by accident but now can’t stop watching your videos! Always look forward to a new one coming out! Just seeing how quickly your channel is growing shows I’m not on my own, your reviews are always fair and respectful, your definitely one of the best food reviewers, ( wish you would feature more desserts though!😋)
Thank you so much for watching it’s so really appreciated 😊, more desserts in the future but only so much I can eat 😳. Have a great weekend and hopefully see you on tomorrow’s upload 👍
My God, I am salivating!!! All that looked amazing. I love Kung Po; either chicken or prawn. Kung Po has a nice heat without blowing my head off 😆 However, the "Duck & Rice" place was disappointing. Kung Po should have a Chili sauce not Soy sauce with massive clumps of chili in. The Kung Po at Wing's Café looked far better especially considering the price.
The only issue I will mention with Wing's Café is it was not a restaurant, so it was not an exact like-for-like comparison as a restaurant will have a lot more overheads to pay than a street vendor, so a restaurant will inevitably cost more. However, OMG! The food from Wing's Café looked amazing! Both the duck and the Kung Po from Wing's Café looked better than from the "Duck and Rice" restaurant. I think your scores were spot on. Thanks Gary.
Indeed Gary. I just wanted to showcase that you can get cheaper food that is top quality - I must say the bar/restaurant was stunning 👍🏼
You’re more than welcome and thank you as always.
Great review as usual, thanks Gary. I love Wings, not been for over a year but I must remedy that soon. The crispy chilli beef is superb. Also, you can usually sit outside Wings too as there’s a couple of tables IIRC. They will also supply you with a proper plate & cutlery too. 😉
Thank you. They do, I saw but it was getting quite busy and didn't want to film lots of other people. Hope you enjoy it when you go back
Gary's food reviews always enjoy to watch 😊
Glad you like them Siva!
just a little tip from my deceased grandma bertha (she wrote it on the back of a fortune cookie slip): "never wear a winnie the pooh sweater in a chinese restaurant, especially not when you order pufferfish".
loved the video, the expensive vs. cheap series always surprises me in terms of what you get for a smaller budget.
cheers and sorry for the bad joke!😂
Thank you 🤣🤣
But what would Chinese people settled in Britain think - free to think & say what they want
@@davidwood9991 Especially as a lot are from HK.😄
Hi Gary, I notice you always post your videos around teatime, is that to make everyone hungry! I used to eat a lot of Chinese food, but it’s just too sweet for me nowadays. I much prefer the second one. Glad you enjoyed both 😊
Sorry Alan I’m not sure why I do that, after work so that’s why 🤷♂️
Rate my takeaway, McMaster,and Bald food guy was my go to food reviews, I now put you ahead of those, I still love those guys, but just enjoy your reviews more, great stuff Gary, true and honest, thank you mate.
McMaster is a plonker.
They’re all excellent CZcamsrs Mark but thank you, means a lot 😄
Great review as always Gary, really enjoy your videos and look forward to them too 👍🏾
Very kind Ryan and I look forward to replying to you’re comments mate 👍
Gary eats, the nation watches. Another top notch video sir
Thanks so much Dave
Bit strange expensive restaurant used disposable chop sticks..The roast duck should seved with plum sauce
Yes, very good point which I didn't mention
Classic line Gary when a tray of glasses crash to the floor 😂
🤣🤣 cheers Rob. Not quite the “waheeey” we’re all used to hearing lol
That Duck in Duck and Rice looked awesome, Looking at the takeaway price list WOW that is cheap and the fact the quality was top notch I would definately frequent there......One thing I really enjoy about Gary's Reviews is the music, its reminiscent to J Dilla, this along with Gary's charm and honest approach to food reviewing keeps me coming back, thanks Gary, Gav!
Send me you’re address by email and cheque on the way lol 😂
Thanks again for brightening my day great review
Very kind Carol thank you 😊
55K now, Gary. You keep on climbing. Congratulations, mate. Paul xxx.
Cheers Paul. Very kind of you to say :)
Pleasure, pal. Well deserved. Good on you, Gary xxx.
Enjoyed the like for like comparison reviews of the dishes, including in your reviews the balance of the dishes.
I really appreciate that - thank you!
Absolutely loving your videos! Binge-watching them. You're an excellent presenter, and I love the content! Keep it coming. Please. ;)
That is very kind and much appreciated thank you
Wings cafe 100%.. another great review Gary.
Thanks!! 👍
Great video as always Gary - I find myself saying “let’s give it a go” all the time now!
Haha I'm so sorry James, take care mate and thank you
Me too 😄
When it's 66% cheaper and you can take it home, I know what I would do! I love Kung-Pao chicken, especially the cashew nuts and onions soaked in soy sauce, the chicken is obviously good to! I don't remember there being chillis in the ones I've had, always been sweet rather than hot, but like you said it's a westernised dish, so ingredients differ, for the difference in price I would of had the cafe's duck, it did look better, but then I'm not a fan of lumps of boiled cucumber! So I would of given the cafe's duck 9 out of 10 and the same for the Kung-Pao. You need a new tee-shirt slogan when you eat the chilli sauce without knowing the heat! It would say "Why do I do this to myself?" When are you consuming the Phaal? lol! Keep 'em coming Gary!
I’m choosing the restaurant carefully Deadman and not looking forward to it to be honest, take care and have a great week
Never thought i would enjoy this sort of content so much but i do and its purely because of your charm and the editing i reckon. Great easy watching content, keep it coming Gary, thanks pal!
Very kind Michael thank you 😊
Gary eats and we all feel full. Great variety that’s suits all
Haha thank you mate
I come here as it saves me cooking lmao
I bloody well don't! I'm starvin', now, and am fighting the urge to order a chinese. Kung Po king prawn from my local is top nosh.
Another great video Very good the one in Poplar I vet there before or should I say takeaway before and it was amazing
Thanks and yes, absolutely delicious food 👍
Best channel around. Always entertaining and you have a great style and warmth
That’s very kind - thank you
Another great review Gary. Thank you for sharing and being honest👌😊
No problem thank you for watching and commenting 👌👍
I am always reluctant to go to pay-per-dish-sit-in chinese restaurants for this very reason. The all you can eat restauraunts are generally way better value for money and typically you can have a wide variety for the singular price of one dish in some sit in restaurants.
Might be better value for money but certainly not even comparable in terms of quality
Indeed 👍🏼
@@tonygoshive785 Going on Garys experience this time, the quality certainly didn't seem to make much of a difference compared to price. But usually this is the case.
What a great video love it keep them coming love all the diversity in ur content ❤
That’s very kind and appreciated x
Brilliant content as always. For me it's the cafe. As someone who doesn't particularly enjoy eating out or sitting in restaurants, the cafe is perfect for a take-home meal.
Also I laughed my head off at the "Muppet. I'm a muppet." comment!
Love seeing this channel growing and getting the recognition it deserves.
Cheers Gary
So very kind I’ve really got to stop doing things wrong, cheers 🍻
Good review Gary
Very interesting, really enjoying the cheap v expensive.
Thank you I enjoy doing them as well
Another great review once again gary they looked both nice but for me the takeaway looked great and for the price spot on 👍
I agree Richard thank you 👍
Lovely bit of parking at the end of duck and rice section!
🤣🤣
Gary on a roll! Love your videos.
Awesome, thank you so much
Great review really enjoyed Thanks for all your hard work
Thank you Greg
*glass shattering*
"Smashing time over there."
That made me laugh. I'll be using that from now. I normally go with "Someone dropped their contact lens" but appartently only I find that funny.
Great vid as always Gary!
I’ll use that next time 👍
For me, winner winner Wings cafe dinner. Chinese food lends itself perfectly being prepared as street food and if you break down the cost of the ingredients it shouldn't be too expensive. Of course if you choose to eat in a posh restaurant you are paying for the overheads, but it doesn't necessarily mean a big jump in quality - as you've demonstrated here. Great upload!
I agree with you completely thank you for watching and commenting
Keep up the good work Gazza lad! Enjoying all the content.
Thank you very much
Thanks for the heads up, I’ve often wondered about the the Duck&Rice. I would give it a go, but not the kung po chicken. As for Chrisp Street Market, it was my manor during my school days in the 70’s, it’s changed a lot. Love the reviews, they are great.
Thank you Steve 👍🏼
A great idea for a video Gary keep up the varied content food looks fantastic
Thank you Jack it’s really appreciated
The second takeaway Gary, excellent value Thank you for sharing your video. CQ
Thank you Chris I agree 😊
Goodness gracious! Every time I watch one of your videos, my stomach starts to rumble! The food always looks so good - especially dishes that I know I would enjoy but my family wouldn't eat (i.e. fish & chips). We live in an area with few Chinese restaurants and the ones we have are subpar. This video made me so hungry! I love that you were able to find a small, independent vendor who provided obviously home cooked food. There is something about a food truck or Cafe - they always seem to put so much love and effort into their food. I would definitely eat at the Cafe despite it being take-out. Good food at budget prices always wins out in our family! ❤ Thank you for your fun and informative videos, Gary!😊
That is such a lovely comment, send me an email if you can so I can send a message to the family to try different foods, just to thank you 😊
Another great video Gary, thank you. I now find myself involuntarily using your technique when eating out....how funny. Btw, both establishments have an official 5 hygiene scoring as an extra bonus.
Lol that is funny and I’d have to ensure the ratings from now on that you, let’s give it a go
Keep up the good work. Love watching your reviews ❤
Thank you
Hi sir a great review as always 👍. I like the part where you said the rice was a bit dry but then changed your mind and said you were wrong.
To me that's 100% being truthful and 100% respect to you from me. Thanks. For me the takeaway was the best.
You have admit when you are wrong and I’m not an expert, thank you!
@@GaryEats👍
That was a great review Gary. I agree with on the Duck & Rice, regarding the duck. Shame about the chicken. As for Wings Cafe, both the duck and chicken were excellent, quantity wise superb. Wings deserved the top rating. Many thanks for sharing with us. Enjoyed and appreciated. I do enjoy Chinese food and that has wetted my appetite. Thank you again 😀👍😀👍😀
Hello Andrea, I hope you’re all well, this time Wings wins all day long only due to value, spoil yourself have a cheeky Chinese this weekend 😊👍x
Cheap Chinese looked amazing, great value,great review again well done Gary and camera man
Thank you so much Debbie :)
Thank you, Gary enjoyed the video video. It was very interesting. Obviously the takeaway you had to sit outside, but I thought the food looked better on the takeaway
You’re very welcome and for value you can’t go wrong 🤷♂️
I think Duck and Rice is good for one thing only:daylight robbery! That Kung Po Chicken looked lacklustre, and the duck was good though. But nearly 44 quid? Nah, think I'll leave it. Wings Cafe though, when you showed that chicken, that's how it should be done! And the duck looked good too. I would've given Duck ans Rice 8 for the duck and 4 for the chicken. Wings Cafe 8 for the duck and 8.5 for the chicken. But for the bills, 4 for Duck and Rice, and Wings Cafe a solid 9. Another good video, cheers Gary!
You are more than welcome John :) great scoring
Gary is someone you would probably want to have a meal with- he conveys all that is good about a meal in good company. The camera man is us. Great presenting and free of faff and hyperbole. Say what you see, taste and drink. Wonderful channel!
I really appreciate that, very kind of you to say. Means a lot
I like that you aren't afraid to correct yourself Gary when you are wrong or mistaken most reviewers wouldn't do that once they have said something they then stick to what they have initially said so that is good to see. It seems a common Theme that these street vendors outdo some restaurants in quality time and time again it is good to see, great review as always, take care Gary, Gareth
Thank you Gareth, the amount of mistakes I make you’re very kind. I agree street stalls and vendors create excellent quality at times, really appreciate you commenting all the time take care and enjoy the weekend 👍
Well said, there's no reason to believe that behind the pass in these take away are Micheline quality chefs. I have a feeling a lot of these chefs come from a long line of family cooks and have it down to a fine art.
Awesome job as always Gary love from NZ
Thank and hello to New Zealand 🇳🇿
I love this channel so much , so enjoyable to watch and Gary is an absolute gent ❤️
That’s so kind to say Caroline thank you x
Great Reviews as always. Love to see takeaway reviews -please do more of them (Tetbury Fish & Chips!).My wife keeps saying 'Let's give it a go' so clearly you are having a strong influence on our lives.
Hello to both you and the boss (wife) I’ll stick to restaurants for the time been, but really appreciate you watching and commenting 😊
i love these vlogs..so i thought id give it a go......again!!!
Haha thank you!
Hi Gary. The duck seemed to be the only saving grace for the first meal considering food only.
Wings Cafe looked delicious and far better value for money.
Great reviews as always!
Thanks Phil 👍
Great Content As Always Mate 👍
You're too kind Dave, thank you
I’d have the takeaway looked better thought the other was bit pricey, great video again Gary
Totally agree Caroline. Thank you
As always, salivating like a Pavlovian dog. it's 3 am and I'm starving but everything's closed. You do this to me every time. I must start watching your videos during opening hours, lol.
I’m so sorry Robert 😞
Used to watch Food review channel but this channel is brilliant and always watch Gary it ticks all the boxes will crack 100k by the summer food looked very nice too.
I watch Food Review Channel who I think is excellent, and thank you very much 👍
Wings wings it ! On vfm alone and it was tastier with bigger portions, no contest for me…
Good choice Bill
Great video. Loved the nice park.
I’m torn because I find Chinese tastes better in a restaurant straight from the kitchen. Strange that I’ve never seen Canadian Chinese Kung Pao chicken battered 🤔. My Chinese friends give me grief for ordering westernized Chinese, but it tastes good!
It does taste very good Jean. I really like both so I'm not fussed but I know a lot of my viewers like westernised Chinese food :)
Interesting time to watch this, i've literally just ordered a Chinese, its due in about 50 minutes: meaty spring rolls, Thai chicken, and crispy beef with chilli sauce.
Let me know how it tastes Jon!
As always let's give it a go, great vlog gary
Thank you very kind
This couldn't be a better channel. Doing a bit of Spring tidying whilst binge watching "Gary Eats!" A great way to spend my Sunday morning.
Thanks Gary...and Camera Man!😉😊
That’s so kind to say it really means so much to me thank you 🌹
Another great video Gary. Loving the content. I can never manage to use chopsticks Xx ❤️❤️
Go on give it a go xx
Do like the comparison video keep em coming gary
Thank you I will 👍
love these vids ❤Gal, 🐉 Wing Cafe ✅ , just like the other chap, my new catchphrase is " let's give it a go ! " all the best 👋
Lol thank you 😊
After living in Hong Kong when I look for Chinese food, the more expensive ones in my area are usually the more authentic ones so I tend to aim for those because they are going to have the kind of dishes I like; many of which you don't tend to find on a typical Chinese takeaway menu.
But if I'm just looking for something cheap and cheerful to go with a night in and a few beers, the British favourites of beef and black bean sauce and char siu or chicken chow mein will still sit happily in my stomach. I like authentic food, but honestly, if it tastes good - I can eat; I'm not that much of a food snob! With that said, sometimes I will want something that can only be found on an authentic Chinese restaurants menu; for example my favourite dish is hong shao rou; but a lot of places don't do it instead favouring Sweet and Sour Pork/Pork Balls instead.
You usually only find Hong shao Rou in mid range restaurants as it takes time to cook. Usually a few hours, I love Chinese food within all price range. Cha cha Tina has their own style, so does dai pai dongs, as well as hotels. I hope you tried roast goose whilst you were in Hk? (I’m a hong konger living in the Uk now.) roast goose is my go to every single time I visit
Well I’m so pleased you made this comment, I’ve had lot’s of really good Chinese meals but never one that I thought outstanding EVER 😳, please recommend one that will change my mind please 🙏
@@GaryEats Well the good news is you are seemingly either local to or able to get to London easily. Therefore, I present to you my local:
Panda's Kitchen 喜悦川菜 - Harrow
@@GaryEats Way too many recommendations in terms of dishes, obviously you have to try Hong Shao Rou if you have not before (on menu as Red-Braised Pork Belly). Their brisket is very good. Sweet and Sour ribs OR smoked spicy pork ribs (if you don't like S&S stuff). Gong bao chicken is good.
I don't like prawns outside of prawn curries and prawn cocktails so I skip seafood here. But the head chef Xie is 10/10 so it's probably good.
@@tonygoshive785 Hi Tony! Yes I agree, also things like trotters, pork slivers etc. They take time and have to be made reasonably fresh whereas a lot of takeouts are looking for big margin, fast turnaround on orders to delivery. I love Roast Goose. But naturally I will eat most Cantonese style roasts because from skin to bone they are just delicious.
I do generally prefer Sichuan cuisine (to be expected - I've been to Shengdu a lot) but that's because I like a bit of heat. In HK I lived in Causeway Bay, in one of the developments near Vic Park.
Hi Gary, awesome review as always and your tip top guy off the street reviews are superb I watch these most days now and catch up when I can on past videos. I’m really liking the content, presentation and commentary.
I’ve been watching you for a few months now and I love my food as do you. ( I’m commenting on the expensive restaurant meal ) I love Gong Bao or Kung Po chicken it’s one of my favourites and I’ve eaten this dish in many restaurants over the years. It’s my go to. It generally is a spicy, stir-fried Chinese dish made with cubes or slices of chicken, peanuts, vegetables and chili peppers. The classic dish in Sichuan cuisine originated in the Sichuan province of south-western China and includes Sichuan peppercorns. Although the dish is found throughout China, there are regional variations that are typically less spicy than the Sichuan serving.
Perhaps you had a version or taste you were not familiar with ??
Guizhou version
The neighboring province of Guizhou, that’s southeast of Sichuan, has a variant of Kung Pao chicken based on the ciba fermented chill paste which is not what you had. I believe you had a western variant mixing spicy 🌶 with sweet.
Western versions
Versions commonly found in the West, called Kung Pao chicken, Kung Po, or just chicken chili and garlic, consist of diced, marinated chicken, stir-fried with orange or orange juice, ginger, garlic, chicken broth, sugar, cooking oil, corn starch, and salt and pepper to taste. Many other vegetables may be added, such as onion, bell pepper or carrots. The Chinese westernize a lot of dishes in Europe and North America to create value for money and in addition to satisfy the western diet of salt sugar and spice. I think you paid far to much for your expensive meal for what quality you was served.
Cheers 🥂
Now that’s interesting. Thanks for that and I also appreciate the very kind words as well.
great review again Gary😀
Very kind Stephen thank you 😊
Brilliant comparison video Gary, wings cafe was unreal on price value, portion sizes were massive!
Really big portion I agree Matty
Great as always mate 💪
Thank you 😊
I've lived in Shanxi for ten years, you'd love the food here Gary. Also the price is literally less than a 1/5. Gotta come out to China sometime to try some of the grub here! Let's give it a go!
I’ll only go if you look after me Lawrence 👍
Its changed so much there , i worked there in the late 70s.always a great place to get something to eat. I must admit i always like a cheap chinese lol unless im in china town then have a good look around . Some use too much msg ,some take aways dont use it ,which is much better i think . For me i would have gone for the take a way .great value ,nice food also .best part no service charge lol Good review again Gary . Keep well
Thank you Lee I fully agree 😊👍
Quality as always Gary fella
Thank you Duncan that’s very kind
Oh the take away Café for sure! 👌🏼
Superb 👍🏼
Love Chinese.. wings cafe for me Gary. Looked great food. Well done another great review 👍
Thanks Craig 👍
Gary hi hun I absolutely love duck n can't believe u ended up at Crisp Street Market I use to shop there when I lived in the Eastend . Lovely to see another honest review take care
Hello Wendy it’s an interesting area, second visit, thank you as always have a great weekend 😊
@@GaryEats u too
Again another great review/upload
With a fantastic Thumbnail,
Very kind David thank you 😊
Hi Gary..I would always ask for small bowls for the eating of the food with chopsticks much easier..and controllable instead of chasing food around the plate..thanks for this enjoyable vlog..as always..😋👍
Good call Jan I’ll do that in future 😊👍
thanks Gary ,another unusual and interesting video
Thank you Malcolm
Good review Gary,my money goes to the take away,looked decent enough and gentle on the pocket👍
Good choice Mark 👍🏼👍🏼
Another great review, in the opening scene were you in the exercise yard of wormwood scrubs?
Lol almost 😂
Both!
I would love both, but could see myself hanging out around Wings a lot!
I would have no issue with the kung po chicken, as chilli affects me differently, and I like the mix of one bite hot, the next, sweet. That duck looked amazing though!
Another great review Gary! 👍
Thanks Sean. Glad you liked them both!
I thought the first place looked better, but we also need to consider value for money, so you certainly have a good point .... excellent video, Gary ... No blackbean beef this week 😂
I've parked the Blackbean for a while now, branching out lol and thank you Mark
Gimme the cheapo chinese food any day! Also Gary, all you needed on that bench is a four pack of 'Special Brew' and to be shouting at strangers.
Great presentation Gary, and I always go for a Chinese for my Birthday next month (not all the family like Chinese sadly.... so it's my treat) I get to eat the left overs 🤣.... and I might try the Duck and Kong Po Chicken
Thank you. Give it a go!
The takeaway place was better but both Kung Poa fell short. Kung Poa should have a spicey wok fired taste with a lot more ingredients. Gary, you gave it a go and we all appreciate it! Great job again for your honest and entertaining review 🏄♂️🐳🍻💕 Laguna Beach CA is waiting for you!!!
Well thank you again, what’s the best Chinese restaurant in Luguna Beach 🏖, I’m so envious of you lol 😂
@@GaryEats Many really good Chinese restaurants in Orange County or the OC as we say here locally. Nearby there is, Classic Chinese, that is an authentic old school type of eatery. So many to choose from, it’s hard to pick a favorite as they all have certain dishes that I go there for…we have great Japanese and Korean food too!!! Give it a go someday Gary. Hopefully soon! 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳💕💕💕💕💕
Hi Gary, the Duck & Rice is one of the wife',s favourite Chinese, but I agree with you, it may be a bit bland sometimes, but their Duck is really nice. But I would have chosen to go to Poplar and if we still lived in Docklands, would most definitely gotten a takeaway from Wings Cafe, it looked really nice! Another great review in the bag and congrats with 55K subs, mate! Have yourself an absolutely wonderful rest of your day and all the best. Speak to you soon, mate! And BTW, as I said in my comment on your last video, I have been to the Portland Cafe, but only had their breakfast, so have to go back to try some of their specials. 😊
You'll have to go back and give their specials a go mate, top class. The duck is superb and at the end of the day, that's the speciality!
@@GaryEats oh yeah, I will when I am back on my feet, mate!! 😋
How are you feeling?
@@GaryEats I am in pain, to be expected, but starting rehab in a couple of weeks after I have had the staples taken out. But the most uncomfortable is the fact that I can't sleep properly, as I have to lie in a different position than I am used to, but it will pass, mate! As a Doctor I have meds at home to knock out a horse, but not too keen on drugging myself to sleep. Never been too keen on hypnotics and almost never prescribed them to a patient after surgery.
Rest up and hopefully back to your brilliant best soon Frank. Take care
Hi Gary and Mr Stig (I mean Mr Cameraman)
Well tonight was a bit of a shocker for me, when i saw the food come out at the first place it looked amazing and i thought it would win hands down.
Well overasly us watchers don't have taste vision to which what a shame about the Kung Pao Chicken when they did such a great job with the Duck.
As you pointed out also the price, especially the service charge was a bit naughty.
Now as for Wings, wow what an excellent job they made of both dishes to which the portions were more than enough for two, which would make it just £7 a head, very good value indeed.
Chris.
Hi Chris,
