Excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best chinese takeaway I have been to. We visit Skegness once a year and always order a meal from De Bao. The food and portion size are never disappointing.

Been to this takeaway for the first time last night as we struggle to get a decent Chinese meal in Skegness. The lady greeted us as soon as we walked in, the portions were big, the food was good quality & overall a good experience. Will definitely be going again.

Thanks for the 5 star review glad you enjoyed the food we aim to please.
I have tried many Chinese takeaways and there is always that little something missing that stops me giving a full 5 stars. I have finally found my 5 star in the De Bao and its right on my doorstep. My phone was on constant speed dial for over half hour before my phone was answere…More reviews
I have tried many Chinese takeaways and there is always that little something missing that stops me giving a full 5 stars. I have finally found my 5 star in the De Bao and its right on my doorstep.
My phone was on constant speed dial for over half hour before my phone was answered an it had only just opened up; that's always a good sign.
My order, from left to right was Sweet n Sour Spare Ribs, Honey & Chilli King Prawn in batter and Singapore Style Chow Mein. The obligatory bag of chips with curry sauce dip complete the meal.
Don't be fooled by those dark ribs; they are slightly crispy on the outer edge but beautifully soft iside. The sweet n sour sauce has to be home made. Its not that thick orangey-red stuff you usually get, this sauce is light, delicately spiced and slightly more sour than sweet, but its difficult to tell because the flavour changes then changes back again. Its a merry-go-round on the taste buds.
The chow mein comprised of perfectly cooked noodles, veg, various meats and prawns and was deliciously flavoured.
And finally those prawns. Wow! They are very different. Cooked in a thin batter and bathed in a honey and hot spicy sauce.
This was my perfect meal and believe me, I am very fussy. I love the heat from this meal. Not too much, but may be a little too warm for some. If you aren't keen on heat or spices choose from the menu carefully.
I have marked 'Atmosphere' as a 5 because I couldn't remove it. As I used a delivery service so used the mark for the guy that delivered. He was very friendly and helpful.- Food

Here on a week’s break and thought we’d give these a try. Think it’s difficult to find a good Chinese takeaway these days and had a few bad ones lately. However this was so good, hot and tasty. Highly recommended.

Ordered a Takeaway from this place while on holiday in Skegness this past week, Wednesday evening, delivered to our Holiday Haven Site ( Used to be Richmond) No doubt it was the nicest Chinese Takeaway we have ever had , even better than from our favourite Takeaway in our home town we have on a regular basis. Best everything! And delivery and price was spot on. Delicious! A highlight of our week 😁👍

We aren't from the area, we were staying in Skegness for the weekend and now I'm absolutely gutted we don't live here! The BEST Chinese takeaway we have ever had. The portions were HUGE, usually I demolish a takeaway but had anough for leftovers the next day. Didn't take too long…More reviews
We aren't from the area, we were staying in Skegness for the weekend and now I'm absolutely gutted we don't live here! The BEST Chinese takeaway we have ever had. The portions were HUGE, usually I demolish a takeaway but had anough for leftovers the next day. Didn't take too long, and food was piping hot on arrival (they delivered to our caravan park). Might have to book another cheeky weekend away just to have this food again 🤣- Meal type
