Customer Review Summary
Sweet and sour chicken draws the most praise, with one reviewer calling the chicken balls crisp, not greasy and tender, and another praising the Hong Kong style version with battered chicken bits in the sauce. Mushroom chow mein earns a regular Tuesday order. Staff are called friendly. One reviewer found the duck pancakes and sesame toast good but the chicken overcooked and some dishes indistinguishable.

“My usual Tuesday treat, mushroom chow mein, was as delicious as always”

“I recently ordered the Chef’s Special from Choys of Bovey, priced at just £8.30 with a small additional charge of 20p to have the rice fried. The value for money was exceptional. The lady at the counter was extremely helpful, polite, and clearly knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering a very pleasant experience. The meal arrived in a single container, filled generously to the top. The homemade BBQ sauce was rich and flavourful without being overpowering, complementing the dish perfectly. Overall, the food quality was outstanding — fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavour. Combined with the friendly service, fair pricing, and prompt preparation, this made for an excellent dining experience. I would highly recommend Choys of Bovey to anyone looking for great-quality Chinese food at a great price.”

“Very quick to order and large portions. The duck pancakes, sesame toast & chow mein were pretty good. Unfortunately the other dishes left a lot to be desired. Chicken a bit overcooked and we couldn’t distinguish between some of the dishes. …”

“Great takeaway. Always very friendly and the food is great. We particularly like the hongkong style sweet and sour chicken! Battered chicken bits, in the sauce!”

“The best sweet and sour chicken balls I've ever had... really crisp, not greasy and full of lovely tender chicken with a generous portion of sauce which was equally fantastic. Very sad this isn't local to me. Really helpful friendly staff”
