China Magic in Richmond upon Thames

Delivery driver couldn’t find my address so started swearing at me calling me all sorts of

Amazing food, best Chinese around

my order had none of what I requested... would not recommend

I’m extremely disappointed with the taste of the food. I placed an order it took them 90 minutes to deliver my food.

I didn’t receive my order, but I’ve since been fully refunded by Just Eat. However, there was no delivery attempt, and the restaurant’s communication was unhelpful.

Prawn toast and chicken balls where over cooked

Crispy Duck was dry and overcooked, inedible. Chow Mein poor. Other dishes lacked flavour.

Very disappointed to learn that all the meat from China Magic is halal. I don’t understand why all the meat is halal, I don’t eat halal and I’m sure most would prefer non halal meat.

Food always hot on arrival. Very pleased!

Crispy shredded beef in chilli is no for me. Overall, good.

DONT ORDER FOOD FROM HERE Wish I’d checked the reviews before ordering, they got our order wrong, then we tasted this absolute muck. Over salted, congealed mess. Lesson learned. At least the prawn crackers were good 🤣

Great experience. Thank you for the lovely food.

Delicious food as always. I know this place sells amazing food so I want to try everything else on the menu too. I highly recommend ordering from here. ☺️☺️☺️

I enjoyed this so much. My food was absolutely delicious and better than other Chinese foods I have had. My food came a few minutes early and it was warm!! I will be ordering from here again.

Chicken and Sweetcorn soup was excellent.

Message said it was delivered making me think it had been delivered elsewhere. Driver always comes down a narrow drive near my car so I asked him not to come that close to my car and he was pretty rude. Shame because the food is ok. But the delivery guy is not. So last order from me

They forgot to put one dish in the bag. They were very apologetic and send it out immediately. Consistently a good standard of food.

Bit of a problem with delivery but these things happen, food was good in the end.

my order was late so phoned restaurant and told them them told me it will be in 10 mins didn't coming 10 so phoned them again didn't answer ,my order came 20 min late with no apology

been eating their food for 56 years, still good 👍

Pieces of mussel shells left in sauce so unsuitable for children and elderly!

King prawn was hard as rock like it’s been microwave bit of disappointment as we pay dearly for them . Rest of the food was good .

item was missing.. there was a spillage of sauce all over the bag

Food arrived hot and on time, very nice driver. The ribs are a joke and an embarrassment. They were so burnt and chewy, even the foxes walked away.

Most of our order was inedible. Meat quality was atrocious. “Ribs” were strings of fatty chew. Absolutely appalling. Will never order from here again.

Great tasting food. Special butter prawns and chicken with vegetables are amazing. Overall great food and been using them for years. Great service deserving 5 stars overall

Me and my partner ordered from you this evening and we where over the moon with the food. Loved the extra special touch of the free prawn crackers and fortune cookies.

Staff are amazing! Food was great!

Was delivered in a lovely box, food was lovely. Best Chinese ive had

Normally lovely today stale and cold chucked most away

I ordered Singapore fried rice and Malaysian fried rice. The containers had no marking on which rice was which. As a Malaysian myself, I would’ve known the difference between a Singapore fried rice or Malaysian fried rice, but unfortunately they’re both tasted exactly the same. First time ordered, but unfortunately we’re very disappointed.

First time, liked portion size and taste. Will definitely give it another go

Food was spicy even though no warning was on the description. Order was late

I’m not going to order again- food ok , nothing really special. I was sent wrong food, called them no even an apology just they really busy. They could not care about what they sent ! I was promised to stuff I actually ordered but surprise , surprise never arrived. I would wouldn’t recommend

Late. Came by push bike. So not suprising

Great service, the food arrived on time and the portion size is amazing! Food tasted amazing, 10/10 recommend!!

My go-to for Chinese takeaway. Consistently delicious, always comes piping hot and good portion sizes!

Took 1.5 hours. Average food. Wont order again

Completely ignored order notes so didn’t eat the food

Really enjoyed the food. Took about an hour to get it but understandable for a Friday night.

I was sent the wrong order, I asked for king prawn vermicelli (£12.99) and got satay chicken on skewer (£9.95) which I cannot eat :-(.

Good portion and tasty but the fried noodles I was expecting a thick egg noodles but it wasn’t

Rubbish food. Very thin rice that has no taste. Chicken slimy and not cut properly and begat lea not cooked in the dish.

wrong noodle dish sent, no prawn in a special chow mein, won ton soup was hard and over cooked, random flavour combinations

Delicious food. Arrived hot. Delivery driver was pleasant. Thank you !!!!

Placed an order at 19.07 and it arrived at 20.55. I was told at 20.25 that it would be 3 minutes. When it arrived, it was cold and missing all the drinks that were ordered and charged for.

Always order our Chinese from here. Good portion sizes and good service. (First time out aromatic duck skin wasn’t crispy and duck a little over cooked ) still happy with my order.

I used to use this take away quite a bit years ago. Gave up on it because always the soup, or the sauce, something inevitably leaked or the bottle of coke wasn't in the order although I paid for it. Decided to give it another go tonight, nothings changed for a small amount of care the food would have been nice but it seemed like it was thrown into the bag. Soup leaked into the sweet & sour chicken balls which were packed upside down so escaped their packaging & were soaking. Awful never again!

Chow mein was very salty. Hardly any beef in the curry was just onions. Doughnuts forgotten for the second time which I can't get a refund. Not great.

Not brilliant, the thai element ordered was not edible.

In generally not bad. However the Thai chicken rice is not the traditional Thai rice dish with chicken but some regular fried rice with less vegetable and extra ketchup and syrup mixed in. Prawn foo yong is unevenly seasoned - a bit chunk of it is very salty. All the rest is fine.

It was edible. Wouldn’t order from again to be honest, one of the worst Chinese I’ve had in a long time. Nearly £60 spent to not enjoy the meal.

Pedí solo comer, pensé que era local a donde me alojaba, pero entró en pánico cuando pensé que estaba a muchas millas de distancia. Llamé al restaurante para revisar, dijo que el conductor estaba en camino y estaban muy ocupados. El conductor llega unos minutos después. La comida estaba caliente y deliciosa, el pollo estaba tierno, Pathia impresionante, chowmein verdaderamente delicioso. Este es un cliente muy feliz. Si me alojo en la zona de nuevo sin duda pediré a China Magic sin dudarlo. Chicos estrella de oro.

szechuan chicken was so awful it tasted and smelled off, sauce was awful too and I couldn't eat it at all.

Although it was slightly late we were updated so it wasn't a problem. The food was very good.

Excellent food, lovely and hot when it arrived.

The food arrived on time and was very good quality. the only issue I had was that the restaurant missed an item but as soon as I called they were very apologetic and immediately dispatched a replacement. theis was delivered within 15 minutes. very good customer recovery. 👌 5*

First order from here, primarily because of the 40% discount on Just Eat. It was o.k, but would I order again - probably not. We ordered - Sweet & Sour King Prawn Balls, they were o.k but the sauce was a little too sour but no major problem. Plain Chow Mein, again o.k but a little dry and the noodles were thread egg noodles not medium egg noodles....you may say, what's the difference....there is, believe me, in texture and moisture retention etc Chow Mein is generally Medium Noodles. Salt & Pepper Ribs, small portion, ribs weren't Pork but Lamb with no mention of this on the menu that I saw. They were once again...just o.k but would have preferred Pork. Crispy Shredded Beef, more batter than beef and just o.k again. On the whole, just o.k, a bit expensive for what you get as are most Chinese take-aways and restaurants, god knows why. Would I order again - probably not, unless the deal was very good but it was worth a try at 40% off the already inflated price considering what you get - 4 items £30 or close to it and that was with discount.

4.5/10 had better not terrible but not good..

Food arrived super quick within 20mins. I think this driver is quick at getting to locations as the food was piping hot. Very pleased!!

Tasty food, arrived hot would definitely order again.

One of the best Chinese I've had. The Wonton soup was a highlight.

dry ribs were lamb i don’t eat lamb

Don't know what is happening with these guys used to loved the food but now not so good ordered 2 plum sauce one was a mixture of sauce and oil ? and also ordered 7 veggie spring rolls but got 2 both with chicken in them ?

Food quality was so bad. Ended up throwing all the food in bin and reordering from a different place. Kindly try to improve on the quality of ingredients

Be very careful who you give your card details to.

Very tasty, fresh, absolutely banging

Absolutely shocked with how amazing the food is. I will recommended this Resturant to anyone looking for a cheap tasty Chinese meal. Thanks China Magic

Not nice at all.. not worth the money a bit worried about eating it now.. i’m not sure if that is the best quality chicken I’ve ever had.

Lovely food.. Fresh, hot, and tasty... Worth every penny... 👌🥰

lot of times ordered before but this time food was very disgusting spicy not possible eat Singapore vermicelli, I know it must to be spicy but not like this time you could not breath so so spicy. I asked for refund

CHINAMAGIC IN TWICKENHAM Ordered a meal from China magic in Twickenham at 7.57 delivery time was meant to be 8.57 then on the confirmation email it said they were running 10 minutes late so would be here at 21.04, it still was not here at 21 41 so called them and they said its just left here a minute ago, he tried to say that the chef had to take his lunch, what a load of rubbish, he then tried to tell us that we have only been waiting for 45 minutes since the order was put in. I told him that this happened on the delivery before last from them and I will not be ordering from them again. Then a couple of minutes later he called back to say that the ticket was read wrong and he has had to reprint it, so what's the truth either you have done the meal and sent it or you haven't and as for the chef going for lunch! I would advise people not to order from CHINAMAGIC if you are looking for a reliable company and as for the excuse the chef had to take his lunch we'll bully for him while they leave their paying customers to go hungry. The delivery guy has just turned up at 10.03pm I asked if he is employed by Chinamagic and he said yes and I said that we would not be ordering from them again and when I said what happened he agreed they had lied over the phone. This is a personal experience of Chinamagic and I refer to it as a personal experience of their delivery service but this customer they have lost now for good.

Delivery was fine. OK sauce was more like watered down gravy. Can't complain about the rest of the food.

Food was cold , doesn’t taste anything like a Chinese, , and the portion size for the amount of money it cost is a joke

It was delicious! I recommend it

Good stuff and delicious food .food was amazing and stuff were friendly and sociable.i received my order very quick.and i am happy with the management of this takeaway shop.

I got my delivery earlier than expected. This is my second time ordering from China Magic and i am extremely pleased yet again! Thank you very much China Magic for providing such amazing good quality food! It was delicious and i am going to be continuously ordering from here!

I ordered from them according to reviews, it didn’t meet what I was expecting. I wouldn’t be ordering again but that’s based on taste, i didn’t like it but others might

The food tasted delicious and was delivered on time. I was not expecting much but it exceeded my standards! It was amazing!!

First time ordered from here and we are hooked! Can't wait to try other things from the menu. We loved our crispy seaweed and prawn chow mein. They were very generous portion size and they packed good amount of prawns. Thank you. God bless your business :)

Contrary to the bad reviews on here we've had an excellent experience. Very friendly delivery guy, deliciously excellent food. Since we ordered for the first time from here we ordered small, just crispy seaweed and King Prawn Chow Mein and we loved every bite. Generous portions so justifies the price really. I wish more people who had enjoyed their food from here would come forward for reviews. We are going to try other things off the menu soon.

This doesn’t taste like Chinese food at all. It is probably made by someone from India not China and it tastes like it. Cheap fat chicken, supermarkets sauces, supermarkets frozen vegetables. Chicken spring rolls have tiny amounts of chicken inside. Isn’t tasty actually. Very oily. Waste of money. Better Choose proper Chinese take away.

i asked not to provide no garnishes, vegetables or onion and they sent it anyway like spring onion and cucumber. i have severe allergies and lucky i smelt the onion otherwise i could of ended up in hospital and of died if an ambulance hadnt arrived quickly. also i ordered the food quite a while ago for 20.15 but was quite late. i have photo evidence of the things im highly allergic too.

Very average at best and hideously overpriced for the quality and portion size. The ‘homemade satay sauce’ comes as a tiny dipping sauce portion yet is charged at a ludicrous £4.40. Main meals are equally overpriced since there is no option for a full portion, instead you have to select rice or noodles as an ‘extra’ which comprises 60% of the container. Would not recommend compared to similar restaurants I’m afraid.

I’m not sure why this has so many bad reviews. I suspect it is because they are mostly old ones. The food I received was good. It was tasty and hot, I would say it’s a little overpriced. I ordered from here as my regular Chinese doesn’t deliver in the day time. Overall a good experience. Driver was polite and friendly

Very good food , arrive early Thank you

Really lovely food! Drive was brilliant too

Original order was for 1345hrs. The time was changed by 15mins. Not a big deal but it gets them out of being reported as delivering late.

I ordered the rice pithia and it said on the menu that it came with chicken, duck shrimp and King prawn. but there was only chicken in the rice dish. it was tasty but lacked these ingredients.

First time I ordered from this shop. Arrived just under 10 minutes late, portion size of curry was a lot smaller than I normally get and ordered prawn crackers as a dish and got a small bag like they give you for free if you spend over a certain amount.

Tasty food as always. My teenage daughter is a very picky eater but whenever we order from this place, she always says "Yes" straight away. Food was delicious and the delivery guy was very cheerful and friendly. Excellent all around.

Food is horrible d won’t be back at all

Always great food, good taste 👌

the food was brilliant I really enjoy it

the food was bland, cold and didn’t taste like it had any flavour at all. i want a refund

Respectfully the worst thing I’ve ever ordered

This is the worst Chinese i have ever ordered. There was another one equally worst Chinese i have had in Liverpool, and i thought it can never get worst, but China Magic managed to proof that there is always worst exampleout there. We ordered the beef with peppers and black beans, also egg fried rice.The beef was old, big pieces, a lot fat. The sauce was bad and the food overall blant and bad. The rice was jot as bad, but still bad. The best thing from this order was the Coca Cola and Fanta! Avoid, avoid, avoid!!

The worst Chinese food I’ve ever eaten

Been coming here for 57 years, title of restaurant changed a few times but food has always good 👍, trust me.

The vegetarian spring rolls were amazing, I liked the lamb but the sauce was very oily. I would order again but a different dish next time.
