About Mr Chef
On Blackhalve Lane in Wolverhampton, Mr Chef is a Chinese takeaway operating on a walk-in basis with no reservations. Orders are placed at the counter, and payment is cash only. Alongside collection, the kitchen also sends orders out for delivery to the surrounding area. On busier nights, food can take longer to prepare, and delivery times in particular have been known to stretch well past the original estimate. Portions are sized generously relative to the price. There is no seating for dining in, with the focus kept on collection and delivery orders passing through the counter.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly point to generous portions and low prices as the draw, with beef with ginger and spring onion, dry ribs with lemon, and fried rice singled out as good value, one reviewer noting a full order for two came to under twenty pounds. Several call it the best Chinese in the area and praise fresh, not-greasy food made to order, though one mentions the shop itself doesn't look great. Close behind the praise sits a recurring, serious complaint about delivery: multiple reviewers describe waits stretching past two hours, drivers who couldn't be located, and repeated excuses about staffing, with some cancelling orders or paying only half after chasing calls. One reviewer also reports a chow mein arriving inedibly over-spiced and going straight in the bin. Cash-only payment is noted as a drawback on busy nights. Several say they'd order again for the food itself but would avoid delivery going forward.

“For the past 8years i have been searching for a local Chinese for when I don't want to drive all the way across town. Last week a neighbour and myself wanting Chinese and she introduced me to Mr. Chef, been picky about my chineses. I was a little reluctant but I need not to be. The Chinese is amazing. I'm really really good value. I had beef with ginger and spring onion and she had a curry. We also had dry ribs with lemon and fried rice and the lot came to under £20 which to me is amazing. There is even a delivery option so I may not have to drive anywhere but I cannot recommend Mr. Chef enough.”
