Service was great but the food received a mixed review from us. The rice and meat was nice but the curry sauce was bland and the chips were very overcooked.

Had family over last night and ordered from Chen’s, it was one of the best Chinese meals I have ever had. Everyone enjoyed their meal, definitely recommend. Lemon Chicken, Beef & Black Bean, BBQ Chicken.

Chips were hard, noodles were bland & greasy, asked for crispy chicken in BBQ sauce to be soft .. it was hard , the lemon chicken wasn’t lemon chicken. Will we be back ? Definitely not. What a waste of money and majority of food was binned.

I usually don't like Chinese takeaway. The monosodium glutamate makes it feel slimy. This was really tasty and didn't turn into that congealed lump overnight. So tasty had the rest for lunch on Saturday morning 😉

Late home from work and couldn't be bothered cooking. Ordered prawn on toast, salt and chilli chicken and a boiled rice. Was delivered quickly, the order was correct and it tasted great. The price is around average for the area. Have used before and will use again

Chen's has always been my go to for Chinese takeaway. Always met with a friendly reception by the woman on the counter or over the phone. Food portions are very generous and of good quality. Always seem to stay safe with my Orange chicken and fried rice because that's always been my favourite. Can't beat it, fancied trying my order via Just Eat and delivery was specified between 45-60 minutes. It arrived in 20, fantastic as always. Delivery guys are always really nice too. Amazing!

While there was a slight error in what i ordered, the food was amazing and the delivery time was more than reasonable but aside from that they were more than willing to make up for the error by either e delivering the one thing that was a mistake or giving it (or an equivalent item) free on my next order, which was more than ok by me with having nothing but great service from them in the past anyway.

Food quality good and better than other Chinese restaurants locally. However, the portion size of my shredded chilli chicken was poor and the chicken came swimming in a pool of water like sauce. I had to drain it. The worst portion size of any Chinese I've had in the area. The portion size of the chicken curry was good and in line with other Chinese restaurants in the area

I used to love Chen's food and delivery time was good but the last couple of times something's changed! Delivery has taken a long time and my meal wasn't as nice. The rice was dry, the chicken had too much chilli and there wasn't much of it. The prices have gone up a fair amount (old prices still on menu online so can compare!) And they were already more expensive than other takeaways I use. Prawn crackers and prawn toast still yummy but think due to the long wait (55minutes on a Wednesday!!!) And price hike etc I will go elsewhere. Fair enough if they had phones to apologise for the delay. Delivery driver was friendly enough though and apologised when I asked if they were busy as it took so long! It's a shame because they used to make my favourite shredded chicken in chilli and honey sauce :(

Well first of all we ordered our meal at half five then they only decided to contact us at ten to seven to let us know that they would be charging a surplus of £4 to our order as they had mucked up their delivery prices they then proceeded to inform me that my food would not be ready never mind leaving the takeaway for another hour at least. The food then arrived cold and with human hair in it, fair to say I am greatly disappointed with the whole entire experience of ordering with Chens!!
