We really enjoy it every time we order from here and the food is really tasty! One thing to note when reading others reviews, there is a lot of complaints about delivery times. We collect and have well cooked, hot food when we arrive home! I don’t think it’s fair to judge the food being ‘cold’ when you can’t be bothered to go and pick it up yourself!

Would never leave a poor review but I’m absolutely shocked! I have ordered from here 4 times and each time there was something wrong with the order. Which I had always let go. The fourth time I ordered I asked for a prawn dish and got given a pork dish. So I called up the lady on the phone said the delivery guy is on his break after his break they will send my prawn dish. Half hour later I received it. I have just called to make an order and been told there is a note on the system that I have banned from ordering! This is because I didn’t give back the cold pork dish. I would hate to think that my food had been in the hands of someone else got cold before given to me! The delivery man did not ask for the pork dish back either. No responsibility taken what so ever after being so patient after always getting wrong or missing items from my order. I asked to speak with a manager but none available very disappointed with this poor unfair customer treatment!

Very rarely leave reviews but really disappointed. Hopefully it was because it was Christmas Eve and they couldn’t cope but after an hour and a half received cold food, one less meal (but after a call apparently it was our fault) and the food was terribly bland- egg fried rice with no rice, chicken noodle dish no sauce or flavour at all and nothing got better. Really believe this place needs to make a much better effort for their customers.

Really surprised by the number of 1 star reviews on here. We've been getting dinner from Apsley Chinese/Chung Wah on an almost weekly basis for nearly 10 years and have never had a bad experience. Food is tasty, with generous portions and delivery is always prompt. They are a little bit more expensive than some, but only slightly. We usually have Peking ribs, chicken satay and sometimes the crispy duck which are all excellent.

Always had good telephone service, nice communicative lady who answers the phone. They are obviously very busy - this is one of the best Chinese takeaways in the area of Bovingdon. Food arrived hot and is obviously freshly cooked (as opposed to some restaurants that have food ((the popular choices)) pre- prepared!) as it’s crunchy and the meat isn’t chewy. Prawns we’re delicious and very fresh. My family whoofed it down! Will use again, as good value for money and good service which means a lot to me.

I've travelled across the UK & the world and tried Chinese food from Alaska to a China Town in Japan, and this place takes the prize for worst Chinese food ever, the chicken wasn't cooked, it was lukewarm, had a rubbery texture and tasted like plastic, the spring rolls were mainly sloppy with one having just a massive wet centre and the prawn toast was squashed, hard from being over fried, covered in excess oil and just bad. The service and manners of the staff is great tho, but the cooking is terrible.

With so many bean curd (tofu) dishes and all the classics, there's something for everyone! They're polite, helpful and friendly on the phone and delivery which is always a good sign.

My experience of this take away was not great. Tasteless, bland and very very dry food. Probably the worst Chinese food I have ever had. When I called to enquire about the lack of sauce the lady said this is exactly how the chowmein should be. She quoted me her 14 years of experience and said that if I ever find a chowmein in a sauce I should call her. A quick google search reminded me that although chowmein isn’t swimming in a sauce it has a nice juicy colour with lots of nice veg and is definitely not dry. My dish looked liked boiled noodles with beansprouts and with some sad pieces of chicken - all boiled! Not even sure what made it authentic. Terrible argumentative service and bland food. Would never order again.

We ordered a takeaway over the weekend . The last few we've had have gone from bad to worse. The chilli chicken main was seasoned with tobasco which was just wrong. The pork with bean sprouts was all gloopy from too much corn starch. The meat in the pork balls was tough and there was no spice or fresh red chilli in the Singapore noodles. It's a shame but we'll be looking elsewhere for a Chinese in Hemel in future .

This place is amazing. The food is simply one of the best Chinese I’ve ever had. I regularly order and it isn’t very expensive for the quality it produces. I can see people complain about delivery times. I’ve personally not had an issue with this, but I also think people forget this is a small business not based in London but rather a small village with an infrastructure that’s not as good as big cities for delivery. With a takeaway all these problems go away. The staff is very very friendly, always greeting with a smile on their face.
