Quick info
About China Chef
China Chef is a Chinese takeaway at 35 Stanningley Rd in Leeds. The menu pairs familiar Chinese dishes with chip-shop crossovers, with fillet steak chow mein on the noodle side and salt and chilli chips alongside. Duck is on offer too, including Cantonese duck, and a mixed starter brings together spring rolls and prawn toast. Ribs come in sweet and sour sauce, and curry sauce can be added as a side. A set meal for 2 covers sharing orders.

Customer Review Summary
The negatives are specific. Several find the food too sweet, with crispy beef in hot and sour sauce coated in syrup and ribs covered in sweet and sour sauce. Others report chewy beef in black bean sauce, clumpy rice, greasy chips with little potato, and lukewarm, hard steak cut chips. Portion size draws complaints too, including a mixed starter of three spring rolls, two pieces of dried prawn toast and three battered chicken balls, and a duck with mushrooms dish with more mushrooms than duck. One regular was upset after a forgotten curry sauce, when staff said they would not deliver to them again if they had to bring it out.

“Tiny bags of steak cut chips that were lukewarm and hard, the noodles were okay they were full of meat, the satay chicken skewers were dry and cold, the rice was pale and flavourless”

“Best Chinese I’ve had in years! Highly recommended. Food was hot and 10/10 definitely going back”

“Was the family go to for many years so thought I’d order and was really disappointed, got the set meal for 2 and didn’t even finish half of it, my girlfriend physically feels sick after eating and the beef in black bean sauce was so chewy and lacked flavour just tastes like a beef with gravy on top , the rice was really clumpy together, chips had hardly any potato in them and were that greasy the bag just ripped apart on what they came in, the spring rolls weren’t the best , sweet and sour chicken had a really bitter taste to it and again the meat was chewy. Overall I’m so disappointed and wouldn’t recommend, last time I will be ordering from here.”

“Absolutely disgusted by the custom service of this place forgot the curry sauce to our order and then I rang them back up asking for it to be dropped off because the meal is not right with out it and ruins the full meal. they then replied with if they have to bring me a curry sauce back out they will never drop off to me ever again. trying to threaten me that they won’t drop off ever again if I don’t accept that they have forgotten the curry sauce. Me and my family Use this Chinese every week and are regular customers here. We will be taking our custom else where after this horrible experience not good enough at all.”
