About Good Chef

On Elswick Rd in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Good Chef is a Chinese takeaway with a menu covering roast duck chow mein and house special chow mein alongside chips and chilli salt with fried chicken and chilli garlic. The munchie box is offered in a single-person size, making it an option for solo orders as well as sharing. Reservations are required rather than casual walk-in collection. The kitchen sticks to a familiar Chinese takeaway range built around noodle dishes and combination plates.

Customer Review Summary

Set against this, roughly half the reviewers describe a rougher experience. One found the House Special Chow Mein dry and tasteless with stale-tasting meat, another received cold chow mein at a cost of nineteen pounds, and a third got a wrong order paired with what they call rude and unhelpful staff on the phone. Refund disputes recur: one reviewer reports finding a hair in their food and being refused any refund once eating had started, and another describes being charged far more through a delivery app than the amount placed on the website.
