China Chef in Thanet

Probably the BEST Chinese Take Away in Margate, Food piping hot, delivered within time and staff are courteous. Value for money.

Food could have been a bit hotter but it was delivered way before the time stated so that was good

Food didn’t really have much taste to it - the curry sauce is not Chinese curry sauce, it’s a bit rank tbh

Excellent meal thank you so much it was lovely and hot n very tasty

The food was ok,The duck seemed very watery.There was hardly any tasye too the food..Very expensive me that had hardly any taste

Oily, tasteless and cold. Total waste of money.

Not a lot of flavour , but generally ok

Food was really bland - chips undercooked - dissapointed with food overall.

Unfortunately we found the food quite bland and tasteless, the curry looked anaemic and wasn't very good. Could be just us. We've had a lot better elsewhere.

Food was burnt dry and no flavour. 20quid in the bin

Food arrived at least 20mins late with no warning or change of delivery time. Food arrived cold. Won’t be ordering again.

Very bland curry and the salt and chilli chips were soggy no real flavour

Decent food, not as greasy as other Chinese Takeaways in the area.

Noodles were too salty, pork was very dry

Cold soggy food, went in the bin

Good, tasty, food delivered in a reasonable time. Would order from here again.

Drivers did not deliver to front door had to go and collect my own order of which made it cold

Hot, fluffy fresh rice. Chow mein was delicious and the vegetables still had bite. Chicken balls were hot, batter not too thick and not stodgey. Only a little disappointed with consistency of the satay sauce (tasted good) as a little watery but I'm a fussy git.

Overcooked Ribs......otherwise all good !. Thank you.

Always great food,arrives nice and hot

There was a slight issue with a potion missing when we opened it. A quick call to the take away and within minutes the missing potion was delivered to the door. On a busy New Year’s Eve I consider this excellent service. Sometimes things go wrong - it’s how it’s dealt with is how I judge service. In this case they couldn’t have dealt with it better. Thank you.

The delivery was 30 minutes late and they neglected to deliver one of the items

Hot and tasty, one of the best I've had for some time anywhere

Delicious food and hot on delivery. Have ordered many times and each time have been very happy with the service and quality. Would highly recommend .

I ordered salt and chilli chip, chow mein and soup ... soup had spilt in bag and chips were not seasons well at all ...

Have ordered from here a few times, always lovely, fresh food, definitely recommend

Food was bland and cold would not order again.

Excellent, very tasty and well cooked. Thanks!

Food delivered on time. We had a Large order and Food quality was good but cold on delivery maybe because it was in a box and not a delivery bag

Food quality excellent as usual

Food was cold on arrival, small curry portion that was thick and stodgy with barely any chicken. no free prawn crackers!

Will not be eating from here again

Late.. cold… food was soggy delivery driver refusing to come in to the flat when the intercom is broken.. lucky we had a camera. Won’t be ordering from here again.

Really enjoyed the food. Delivery was 40 mins late, but better late than never.

rung the restaurant over 100 time didn't answer was over an hour late

Really unhappy feel like we was completely forgotten about, called the restaurant 125 times and no answer and when we finally got an answer the man was blunt and rude. Will 100% not be ordering from here again!!!!!

Fancied a takeaway and looked at reviews they were Very mixed I’m glad I ordered and found out myself it was delish and will be ordering again so fresh and very good quality items thanks

Worst sauce I've ever taisted it's like it's a packet and water but thick and dry...

The food was cold on arrival even though I ordered when they first opened. The food was no where near fresh and tasted nasty was dry bland and horrible. Absolute waste of £38

Really great food, definitely ordering from them again

No prawn crackers but meal was lovely as usual. Can you change to paper bags I don’t mind paying your price then as your bags are not reusable and don’t believe you should charge just for the delivery drivers convenience

Half the food was great and the other half was horrible and slimy and went in the bin.

Very underwhelming 😔 Food arrived cold No flavour at all All in all disappointing

i noticed that my food came to £5,50, that i ordered by phone, when i arrived to collect my food, the young rude lady asked me for £5.60 i asked her why 10p more she replied for the white plastic bag so i said you do not advertise or are there any notices saying customers have to pay for 10p bags for the food she replied nothing to do with me i dont know ,then she threw my food at me sliding along the counter, i then said that s very rude doing that , it s the quickest way to lose customers, so beware about the xtra 10p charge for the white bag, its not the money but the cheek

Fantastic, hot food as always .

Ordered from them a few times before and it was always full of flavour and the meat was nice and tender, this time it was it was mediocre at best. Meat had a weird texture ( gelatinous) and the black bean sauce was very pale , watery with hardly any flavour ,normally its thick, sticky and almost black. We were really looking forward to a Chinese as we have it as a treat every few months and we were rather disappointed.

Good food just shame about the delivery but I would order again food was decent

Exceptionally quick home delivery 50 minutes before the ETD!! Good hot plentiful food.

First time ordering , food was lovely ! Would definitely order again and recommend

Been going to China chef for ever! Boiling hot and beautiful food! Highly recommend

Fab stuff. Visiting Margate for the weekend and really impressed with the food quality. Hot and delicious. Def recommend

Always great food, hot, decent portions sizes and tasty

Really fatty duck, had just 4 pieces of duck that were edible. Chicken skewers were quite chewy, won't be ordering these again. Very disappointed with this order.

Dissapointed salt and pepper chips and wings not spicy and where greasy first time ordering and last sad times

not very hot had to warm it up and prawns had bits of shell left on

Has really gone down hill. Used to be my go to Chinese. Portions small (£10 for a tiny, slimy portion of "quarter" duck that isn't even on the bone anymore let alone crispy) and food quality reduced. Delivery time very slow. Unfortunately will not use any more.

Duck was rather greasy all other food was perfect

Excellent food and very tasty, will definitely order from them again :)

Food arrived freezing, kids of the food and was bland. Delivery driver refused to deliver it to the door as didn’t come into the block of flats even though last month they did, yet still charged for delivery.

First time we have used this restaurant. Good service but unfortunately the food was bland.

Absolutely bang on time ordered 2 hours earlier, arrived hot, fresh and amazing. Brilliant restaurant thank you for another amazing meal.

Not the best I've had, lacking in flavour, but hot & edible

Excellent food, delivered hot by a very pleasant man

The order arrived hot and it was really delicious. All the family send their compliments to the chef. Would highly recommend you to our friends.

Food was great, no problems with the order at all and it arrived within the estimated time window. Will happily order from China Chef again.

Food arrived within 20mins, not sure if they ran out of seasoning,onions,chillies seaweed was very bland no seasoning at all, salt n chilli dry chicken barely see the pan batter whiter than the chicken no chilli or salt barely any onion n what their was was the skin shame as reviews were good mayb next time they will have all ingredients n just having off day today

Excellent food as always. Only a quarter crispy duck was delivered whereas I had ordered half, I rang the restaurant and the lady was very apologetic and sent the other part round very quickly. Thank you!

Great tasting food, delivered hot. Will definitely order from them again 👍

Vegetables to large and under cooked. poor quality sauce.

Everything was good but forgot 2 canned drinks that I had payed for other then that food was top notch

Burnt chips, no flavour to the curry sauce or chicken wings .. not worth the money one bit

Always great food from here, hot, tasty, great portion size and delivered on time 😁

Probably one of THE nicest Chinese takeaways we’ve ordered. Food was early and hot. Would order again and recommend.

Waste of money! Special fried rice....mushy boiled rice with mostly egg and peas more like. No meat on ribs, seaweed greasy and wet,sweet and sour sauce so watery and tastes like vinegar,satay chicken undercooked and the sauce was not peanut more like korma, greasy horrible chow mein and the prawn toast soggy and tasted off so all gone straight in bin after quick reluctant taste of everything. Only decent thing we ate was the chicken balls and just ordered from jay jays Chinese instead where it's all perfect and get fortune cookies aswel.

Lovely food, glad we ordered from here ☺️

Order late but Resturant kept us informed and worth the wait as the food was lovely 👍

Had beef and mushroom which was very nice but could have done with a bit more juice.

The noodles had no flavour to them at all. Was very bland. Very small portions to other Chinese takeouts. Not much chicken to what I paid for. The dumplings was bland and didn’t come with vinegar that other takeouts do. Wouldn’t eat here again unfortunately.

Superb food and service as always

The food was hot, delicious and delivered early! What’s not to like? Highly recommend them. 👍😊

Food cold and covered in greese, no flavour and soggy

This was the most disappointing chinese i have ever had in my life, not only was all the food cold upon receiving but there was a SPIDER in the rice and it was ALIVE i might add, now two arachnophobic’s receiving this was not the greatest of experiences and i will NEVER be ordering from here EVER again!

The wrong food arrived. We had mixed meat curry instead of sweet and sour chicken balls and there were prawns in the duck chow mien. The curry was nice, just wasn’t what we ordered. Lucky we’re not picky eaters!

Excellent food & delivery time.

Excellent all round service! Thank you.

Food was great, special mention for the hot and sour soup and the dumplings, but they forgot my tango can!

Only items that were fresh was the cucumber and spring onion, duck tasted strange, noodles as well. Not good

We ordered our takeaway and within 20 minutes the door bell rung and our food was delivered. We have used this takeaway for many years and love the food. It’s delivered hot and tastes fantastic,well priced

Very very good the best in the world

Wings were dry over cooked and had no meat whatsoever, egg fried rice was tasteless, lemon chicken was all gristle. Really unhappy

Very prompt delivery and generous portions of food

Second time we have ordered and again the food was delivered on time, very tasty, hot and would highly recommend this restaurant for takeaway.

Delivery bang on time. Food lovely, tasted fresh and hot. Will order again

I always order my Chinese from China Chef and I’ve never had a problem. Tonight though was the first bad experience I’ve had. I understand it’s the weekend and it’s busy but it took almost 2 hours to be delivered and when it came, it wasn’t very warm. The chicken and mushroom was rubbery, the rice was salty and the dumplings weren’t cooked properly. It’s such a shame because I do like China Chef and maybe it was an off night for them - I will order again in the future but it was disappointing after waiting so long.

Super yummy and always on time thank you

Stone Cold, no flavour, wrong rice and had loads of hard bits in it.

Have to say this was the best takeaway Chinese I have eaten for a very long time.. absolutely perfect Thankyou

Food arrived a lot earlier than was quoted. Wasn’t that hot when arrived tho and tasted very plain,not much taste to it at all,Chicken balls not cooked enough leaving the batter very doughy. Ordered a large egg fried rice,would hate to see their small portion size as “large” wasn’t large as far as I’m concerned. Food was edible,just! So for these reasons I won’t order from here again.

Very nice food but must be the only Chinese that doesn't give free prawn crackers on a £30 order. Bit mean of them.

It was cold and considering I live quite near it took ages to get here and the driver barked at me that he couldn't find me should of rang me
