About Eastern Chef
On Beake Ave in Coventry, Eastern Chef is a Chinese takeaway where the salt and pepper box can be ordered to suit. It can be made without bones, meaning no chicken wings or ribs, or with extra crispy beef added. Satay sauce can go alongside it. The rest of the menu includes chicken curry and egg fried rice, and the kitchen also prepares a chef's special with omelette. Orders can be phoned in, and regular customers can simply ask for their usual.

Customer Review Summary
The salt and pepper box is the clear draw, with regulars calling it the best they have had, ordering it without ribs or wings and adding extra crispy beef and spring rolls. One regular says staff recognise the "usual" order over the phone, and another recommends the satay sauce alongside the box. Orders are described as piping hot, and one delivery of four dishes arrived fresh and tasty, with quick delivery noted by another reviewer. Criticism is just as specific. Several reviewers describe overcooked or dry food, including chicken balls, spring rolls, burnt meat and a watery chicken curry. A few say the chef's special with omelette now comes in a smaller carton than it used to, and one found the barbecue sauce tub smaller and very sweet. Rude phone manner comes up repeatedly. One caller was told they had not ordered items they say they did, and another says an order came out wrong multiple times and the restaurant refused to replace it.
