Customer Review Summary
Chicken balls draw repeat praise, described as crunchy outside and perfectly cooked inside, with one reviewer also noting fresher tasting chips than usual. The Chef Specials get singled out for generous meat portions. Not everyone agrees though: one reviewer found it merely average compared to a regular favorite, and another said the food tasted a few days old and wasn't fresh, and wouldn't return.

“This was our first time using Best Friends Chinese. We have a family Chinese every time this year for my son’s birthday meal of choice. It was absolutely lovely. The chicken balls were crunchy on the outside and the chicken was perfect on the inside. Everyone eating the meal on commented how lovely everything was. Thank you Best Friends. We will be definitely be using you again.”

“It’s just “ok” to be honest. Tried here as my regular was closed (which is just around the corner) I have to say, it’s average at best. I have to say I was expecting it to be good because the other one is SO good in comparison. …”

“Nov 2021: We have had take away Chinese food from Good Friends for many years. There are better Chinese takeaways but not in the CB9 area. The Chef Specials are a cut above the other menu items. Generous amounts especially of the meat element of meat dishes. Recommended.”
