“Popped in here on way back from airport as our local was closed. We had chicken in black bean, curry noodles sp rice a soup and Szechuan chicken and Chinese veg. The order was ready in about 5-10 mins and was piping hot when we got home. The food was all excellently cooked and the quality of the dishes was superb. Good amounts of meat so very good value. The duck noodles had plenty of duck mixed in and the rice was good too. The chicken in the curry was thick slices of breast and it was literally cooked perfectly. - not had a better dish anywhere so respect to the chef. Really very impressed overall with this takeaway - fast, excellent quality and super tasty food. Thanks for a great Chinese - looking forward to it on the flight back to UK and you really delivered!!”

“We had been looking forward to having a takeaway from here (our regular) for a few weeks. Sadly disappointed this time, food was ready very quickly - maybe too quick, as when we got home (literally 5 mins tops) a fair amount of the food was luke-warm at best. Beef and mushrooms was very congealed and gloopy, crispy chilli beef was cold. Prawn balls, Noodles and rice Were fine, chicken in batter was a bit soggy. Very tasty but disappointing temperatures.”
- Chris Jarvis
“We used to enjoy the meals here, but we had to return one night as the meat was non existent. Ever since, they refuse to take our orders. Shocking that after using the same place for awhile you know what you get but when they get it wrong it's on you. Reminds me of banggood actually.”

“I am very appalled with the service I received last weekend. After receiving The wrong food I phoned to let them know, to my surprise the lady was extremely unhelpful just saying that is what I had ordered, I would not have order this dish as I am vegetarian, it was full of meat and seafood which was wasted. I will not be using Hong Kong chef in the future as they obviously don’t care if their customers are happy.”

“As someone who suffers with a severe nut allergy, this is the only place, locally, that I would trust to provide a safe chinese meal. For years I have avoided such foods, for obvious reasons, but these people really do understand the level of cleanliness required. I would not hesitate one bit to order from here and have always found the staff to be extremely helpful.”
