Quick info
About Top Chef
On Ruddpark Rd in Manchester, Top Chef is a Chinese takeaway built around chow mein and vermicelli dishes. The classic choices on that side of the menu are the House Special Chow and the King Prawn Chow. For something different, the Chef's Specialities include Fried Scallops & King Prawns with Ginger & Spring Onions. The menu also reaches beyond Chinese cooking, with burgers and fish and chips, so a mixed order can come from one kitchen. Roast chicken breast rounds out the list.

Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply, and the praise centers on the sweet and sour chicken and pork, which one reviewer calls lovely. Others who are happy single out the spring rolls, wonton soup, and beef in black bean sauce, with egg fried rice described as belting, plus tons of flavour and a massive portion size. The complaints are more numerous and more specific. Special fried rice comes up twice, once with no prawns and once with only dried chicken, and prawn toast arrived with no prawns, greasy, with bland sauce. The roast chicken breast arrived fried, full of bones and too crispy to eat, and the caller said staff offered no apology and simply said that's how it comes. Others describe cold food, including chips, gravy that tasted burnt, items charged for but missing, and a satay sauce that was lumpy. A long-time customer found the food too sweet and salty with black bits like burnt soy sauce, and the munchie box was called deep fried leftovers. One reviewer threw the greasy, bland meal away.

“DO NOT ORDER THE ROAST CHICKEN!! My only issue with Top Chef so far, is that the 'Roast Chicken Breast' came FRIED and full of BONES and far too crispy to eat most if it due to frying. When I called about it, the woman just said 'yeah that's how it comes'. She was so uninterested, and when I said they should not say 'Roast' on the menu as it is misleading she just replied with 'Okay'. No apology, nothing! I've had better quality fried chicken on a burger!!!”
