Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Patrons frequently applaud the Salt & Pepper Mix which has gained notable attention. Many describe it as both flavorsome and perfectly spicy, a dish they can't resist coming back for. The crispy chilli beef also garners rave reviews, often paired with egg fried rice for a satisfying meal. The fact that Charlie's is open seven days a week and offers takeout means that cravings for quality fried food and Chinese flavors can easily be satisfied any day.
Families love the variety on the menu, especially the kids-friendly options, ensuring everyone finds something they enjoy. Quick service adds to the appeal, making it perfect for a quick lunch or a hearty dinner without a long wait.
Most Disliked
While Charlie's Fish & Chips enjoys overwhelmingly positive feedback, some customers mention a few downsides. The cash-only payment method may catch some off guard, especially with the ongoing trend towards card and contactless payments. Additionally, the busiest times can lead to longer wait times, meaning those who visit during peak hours may need to exercise a bit of patience.
Some diners express a desire for more vegetarian choices, although the existing selection is decent. The takeout can sometimes feel lacking when compared to the dine-in experience, as some say the atmosphere adds a special touch that home delivery lacks.

Visited twice last week . I think there must be a new chef . The Salt & Pepper Mix is the best it has ever been. Plenty of it and flavours are spot on . It's also more spicy . Will be definitely back for more . 18/10/24 Just had Chilli Crispy Beef ( wazzed up ) with egg fried rice and scraps . Unbelievable !! Simply the best Chinese in Westhoughton. Place is spotless, all the staff brilliant.

We always go to Charlie's for our Chinese food, and we are never left disappointed. There's plenty of meals to choose from, and my personal favourite is their salt and pepper chicken. My family enjoys it every time we get a takeaway. It's always busy which tells you it's very popular in the area.

Charlie's...what can I say...yes fish & chips that are always perfect! The Oriental dishes are amazing! Tonight I had dim sum with a portion of chips, delicious as always! The Team are friendly and attentive.I know when I order a takeaway from here that it will be excellent quality and it is every time! So I'd say try Charlie's for a change from your local! You just might find yourself returning again and again and again....

This has been one of my favourite restaurants for a long time. I loved it so much when I first tried it I thought I was going to hate it but I loved it 10 out of 10.

What a fantastic Chinese! Tried them for the first time last night and we did order what I can now say was far too much food but we weren’t sure on the portions. The portions are brilliant and you really do not need a lot.
