Customer Review Summary
Spare ribs draw repeated praise, with one self-described connoisseur calling Chungs the best they've tasted, and finger bowls provided afterward. Close behind, regulars single out sweet and sour chicken, spring rolls, sizzling king prawns with satay sauce, special fried rice, and minced quail, the last called a must by a longtime customer. Service is described consistently as friendly and prompt, with diners greeted at the door and tables turned within a couple of hours even when busy. Several reviewers note they've returned for twenty-five to over thirty years, calling it a favourite family spot. One dissenting review describes a duck, bean sprout and mushroom dish as mostly fat with little meat, a small rice portion, robotic service, and no apology when raised with a waitress, though this contrasts sharply with the otherwise consistent praise from long-term diners for the food and welcome.

“Our favourite family restaurant for over thirty years. Always such a warm welcome, amazing food, vibe, and fun. So lucky to have it up the road.”

“What a disgrace, first you entering a very dark place ! Like someone as maybe past away🤷🏽♂️. Atmosphere, not really no. Services more like a robotic type and the food? Dear me, I do expect a bit of fat on a duck. But when ordering duck, bean sprout and mushroom for £17 I do expect some meat at this price and a fair portion .. see picture by yourself. This is what you pay for FAT. A bowl of rice for £5 which is the smallest bowl I ever seen…. First time visit and the last time. Where this 4.6 score comes from well I sincerely don’t know. I do not believe this is hand cook nor prepared by a chef and most likely tins or else. I made the remark to a waitresses and shocked by the answer. “it comes that way” 🤷🏽♂️ no apology or anything matter in fact.”

“I had a brilliant experience at Chungs, all the staff were very welcoming and attentive, the atmosphere was very peaceful and the food was absolutely delicious! The best Chinese/Cantonese food I’ve ever had! We had spring rolls, sizzling king prawns with satay sauce, special fried rice and two portions of sweet and sour chicken. All were very nice!”
