I've been going to Chaes for years and never a complaint but just lately the chips are terrible . Thin with no substance,that thin they are hard,inedible.Wont be going back until it improves.

I don't do 'chippy' as a rule, but i thought i would have a treat for lunch and have a bag of chippy chips! Mistake! Soggy, pale and greasy all clumped together in the packaging. Ate a few and binned the rest. Very disappointed as Chae has a really good reputation. well I must have visited on a bad day. Back on the salad for lunch!

No complaints, as always. One of the best chips shops in the area, staff pleasant and polite. Both the Chinese and English food on offer is always impeccably hot, cooked well and tastes good. Portions are plentiful and are well priced.

Great fish. Try it. We drive out of our way for this because it’s better than anything we can get locally

We were really looking forward to our fish chips and curry sauce tonight having not been for a couple of years. Unfortunately we were disappointed, the chips were hard and scrappy, the fish was grey and slimy and the curry was sweet and tasteless. On the upside we were served a huge plateful that mostly went in the bin. Back to our usual chippy it is then.

Not been for a good few years, always had the best curry sauce. Decided to have a bag of chips, they were not quite ready and a couple of people were waiting. Another customer walked in who obviously was friend of the sullen faced assistant. As soon as the chips were ready she got served. Mrs sullen faced just totally ignored all the other customers. Not the best way for customer service. In fairness the chips were very good, the tub of curry delicious. Such a shame Mrs sullen spoilt it.

Fish cooked to order - so big its difficult to eat it all especially with normal size portion of chips! A no-no for anyone on a diet! but the taste of fresh fish in thin crispy batter is hard to beat.

Having read about this place I tried it and to say I wasn't best pleased is an understatement. The fish was so soggy and dripping with fat I just couldn't eat it. The chips were no better either. Please look at the standard of food your serving as I will not be coming back and it's a shame as it's in my village.

I have been here loss of times and it's normally very good but the last few times it's gone downhill ! Chip's looked like they were warned up from dinner ! And the chicken fried rice was dry and not much chicken in it !. We will not be going back.

Imi lived in Harwood (Bolton) for 2 years and every Friday I had my dinner from Chae's Chippy. I was either having steak and kidney pudding with chips and curry sauce or large fish with chips and mushy peas. Friday dinners became my favourite dinners ever. I was always looking forward to Friday's Chippy time. They had the best chip shop food I have ever come across! On top of that the friendly owners that were serving us every week made the Friday Chippy time more enjoyable. Since I moved from Harwood, I cannot find a chip shop that would be anywhere near close to Chae's.

Living in Australia I miss my English fish n chips so when I visit my family I always buy from here, in my opinion it's the best chippy in Bolton. And the one at Harwood is good too.

Chae's has been around for ever, and their food is always decent, but it's far from being the cheapest chippy around, which given it's location surprises me.I still go but it's not my number one choice due solely to the prices.

I have never been disappointed by the food in this family run little gem of a food takeaway. Every time I go in, there is always time for a hello from the owner, no matter how busy he is. Its got to the point where he now knows my name and the name of most of the people who go in! The fish are well sized and never greasy, always just right. There is an extensive Chinese menu as well so you will be spoilt for choice. It is very rare that a small place like this can do both traditional fish and chips etc and Chinese meals that are both excellent. Its normally one or the other. I have sometimes been to the other family business in Harwood as well. This is also of equal quality. Its obvious these guys have been taught well! Totally consistent and totally delicious.

Always of a high standard, and clean. Large varied menu, should suit all tastes. Chae and his staff always have a smile and a word if there's time, busy place (no pun intended) As the establishment is on a very busy road parking can be a bit of a pain.

As well as serving excellent fish and chips, they also serve wonderful Chinese food, which is always cooked fresh and tasty! Their menu for Chinese is limited but the dishes they do have are really good good!

This chippy as been serving fantastic fish and chips and Chinese food for over 50years? The portions are big, the food is always hot and it's the only chippy I know that are forever frying fresh batches of chips. The staff are fantastic and It is always packed. I never go to any other chippy and I am a fussy bugger.

We came a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Please look at my previous review. We came last night with a mrs Rainford ….. she has reviewed before….. however things didn’t go quite as they should. Our starters went ok if a little slow and then we started hearing whispers of problems in the kitchen. We felt that we were falling behind in the pecking order, then one of the waiters came and mentioned a problem but not what. Our mains arrived and on first bite me and Diane noticed our fish was cold so we called over the lady who seemed to be overall in charge and she took our plates away. So we sat back and waited. Our partners finished their dishes and shortly afterward a female waiter came and took away all the plates and dishes, bearing in mind that nobody on the table had had a sweet. About this time I got up and went to the toilet. When I returned I was told that 2 plates of lamb had been brought and taken away because neither of us ate lamb. We hadn’t been asked that question. We weren’t approached afterwards. When Steve went to the till, he was told there was no charge and could they wrap up the sweets. Steve felt it was time to make an exit and just left to meet us at the restaurant entrance. We all know it’s a training kitchen and the staff have to learn but we felt that there needed to be more guidance . We would welcome an explanation. barrym48@btinternet.com 07794195920
