Quick info
About China Chef
On Church St in Shildon, China Chef is a Chinese takeaway serving orders on a walk-in basis, with no reservations needed. The kitchen opens evenings only across the week, closing on Wednesdays, giving customers a set window to plan around for pickup. Being a takeaway, the shop focuses on food prepared to order for collection rather than seating. The Church St address places it along a stretch reachable for evening pickup by those nearby. This straightforward setup keeps the operation centered on getting orders out during its open hours rather than running as a sit-down restaurant.

“Wrong order was sent. When I rang up lady was very very rude…. what happened to customer is always right ? We were warned that China chef was under new management & food had gone down hill but decided to give benefit of doubt. We got money refunded but will definitely not return 😩”
