Worst takeaway EVER
Food was a indistinguishable mush. Two different types of chicken that both tasted the same and drowned in chilli sauce and soggy chips drowned in the same sauce. Literally could not eat it and ive never had a takeaway that was bad enough to leave!

Portion sizes have gotten so small that the large boxes are the same size as the smalls ones used to be. Absolutely ridiculous and won’t be ordering again until the sizes have improved.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback! Our boxes were updated in November. We have actually reduced our pricing significantly with a nominal size reduction. As prices everywhere are constantly increasing, we didn’t want to just keep increasing our prices. By slightly reducing sizes we’ve been able to reduce our pricing to keep Oodles affordable. For the value, we are actually providing a bigger serving in comparison to our previous boxes.
Is this place a joke
Is this place a joke ? A large box was ridiculously small am guessing the next size down can be no bigger then a match box going by the size of the large. All the food tasted exactly the same mine and my partners were no different even though we didn’t order the same thing just full of chilli sauce, vile would 1000% never order from this place again learn what Chinese food is before you try serve that rubbish.

The sizes just get smaller and prices keep increasing.
I was not happy with the costs against the box size the last time. I ordered again thinking ‘try them again and see’ to find the box has got even more smaller. Its so disappointing. What used to be ‘small’ is now large and costs £5 more.
Never again now..stick to chopstixx!!!

Won't be ordering again
Just had a delivery from Oodles Chinese in Alum Rock Birmingham. I won't be ordering again!
I ordered a large box and what I received is not representative of the image shown on the website on deliveroo. It looks like the size of the standard box displayed.
The egg friend rice was boiled rice basically! You can tell by the colour before you even taste the rice. I found some tiny pieces of egg that might have been added to the box.
And the prawns cracker packet was a laugh! The image suggests it's a large packet but it's actually a tiny parket that contained 10 prawns crackers! This cost £1.39!
The food was tasteless and all thrown into the box carelessly so the various items had just all mixed together.
There was very little curry in the vegetable katsu curry...just a few piece of tasteless vegetables.
Shameful basically!

“WOKS” WRONG WITH THIS PLACE...
Visited Oodles in both Rochdale and Bury as a family of four. First visit was bad but thought it was just an off day however second visit was equally as bad. The meat was tough, portion sizes were inconsistent, service was slow and miserable, overpriced and definitely not value for money.

I go here only because of the kung pao chicken. That’s it. I’ve never had a problem per se until the last order. I order two large boxes of the Malaysian chicken with king pao. The king pao was fine but the Malaysian chicken was under cooked massively. It practically tasted raw and made me ill. I don’t care how busy a take away is, the food should be cooked properly. It’s because of negligence like this people fall sick. Not happy and doubt I’ll order from here again. Also they have become very tight on the amount of chicken they give. They fill the box with rice/noodles and miserly amount of chicken as topping. Was never like this when they first opened up.

New boxes even smaller. Total rip-off
New boxes even smaller than the last, a total rip off they have taken the fish off the menu, then charged me an additional £1.50 for 3 over cooked prawns. Food quality is terrible and generally over priced for what it is. Staff talking over the boxes whilst serving. Disgusting hygiene habits. I will not be returning. Save your money and go Gregg's next door. Awful place

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Food is an absolute joke. The chickens rock hard, couldn’t even put my fork in it and the rice tastes like undercooked lamb. Don’t get me started on the portion size! I ordered large and it was tiny and well over priced! there is a Chinese (Chopstix) who have amazing food and cheap it’s just down the road. Anyway DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
