Eastern Chef in Halton

Food nothing like pictures on website shame dry as a nuns you know what

Been coming here for years, lovely woman best Chinese around

Food tasted very weird curry left a horrible taste in my mouth ,prawn crackers tasted stale , the driver forgot my Bottle of pop then took my change I shouted her back as she was stood outside the car and she got in the car as looking at me and she drove off then come back 10 mins later saying the shop has no bottles of coke left here the money for the pop but still took the rest of the change first time I’ve orderd I won’t be ordering again

Last week we said this was the best chinese chippy about,this week i say the opposite,we have just collected a prawn chow mein,which was mine,chips, Singapore fried rice and a pot of curry. My chow mein had a funny taste it wasnt nice at all,few chewy prawns and 3 tiny pieces of broccoli on the top other than that it was just noodles which left a horrid taste,my husband had the fried rice,he said his just didnt taste right,the chips must have been cooked for a few seconds and you could tell they were frozen ones but weren't cooked properly,the whole lot went in the bin,im not sure if its a new or different chef but its put us off going again sadly.

Ordered take out Thai green curry. Quick delivery. Absolutely delicious and very fresh.

Had really tasty Malaysian fried rice from here. Portion was very big and generous. Will definitely return when I visit Runcorn again. Thank you for making our belly happy with lovely food!

Disappointment all around. Paid over £30 for horrendous food. Tasteless, inedible chewy meat, watery sauce that seems to have had boiling water added to it, and the chips were just McCains oven chips that had been deep fried to within an inch of their life. Salt n pepper dishes lacked any Seasoning and just seemed to be covered in crumby, carbon filth that you'd skim out of a deep fat fryer. Fried rice tasted odd and was full of chunks of, what looked like, gammon? Years ago, this place was the best around! We had an order just over a year ago, that was somewhat poor, but decided to try again tonight. Never again. I absolutely recommend you run the other way and avoid. Total waste of money and not fit for dog food.

Previously my favourite take away, unfortunately I made a simple error in selecting collection instead of delivery just one time, and I received no leniency whatsoever which I’m disappointed in as I use them regularly. This has deterred me from returning.

All good 👌 chips the only let down

Chips were terrible. The dish was not what it was advertised as and was tasteless. Would definitely not recommend. Only positive is it came in a timely manner and had everything we ordered.

Missed two items out of order, but they did deliver them when called up, good customer service. However food was terrible. Tried again 2 years after last experience. Spring rolls nice, char sui fried rice the single wost Chinese meal I have eaten.

Very tasty! The portion was really large) With lots of meat! P.S. Thank you. Your tasty food gave me the energy to finish my 40000 steps walk;)

Best take away in Runcorn. The food is amazing Thai food is fabulous and the Chinese good size portions value for money. Such tasty food. Friendly staff and quality food.

This place needs to update the online ordering places like Foodhub and Runcorn eats, ordered today as both apps say this place is open first try with Foodhub order got cancelled so tried Runcorn eats and order pending, called the number only for a message to say they are closed, I’ve now got over £50 pending from my bank account waiting upto 10 days for a refund, this is a joke, if your shut at least update everything as having £50 pending is not on. Update: The Sushi is amazing, she redeemed herself

Lovely birthday meal for me and my family, go to chippy in Runcorn for me now.

Raw chicken in salt and pepper chicken noodle box!!! 🤢🤢

This was the very worst Chinese/Thai that I have ever had in my life! The vegetable spring roll were under cooked and under filled. The salt and pepper ribs had no garnish and had no chill kick at at. The chicken peanut satay, the chicken was stringy and tough and the sauce was a ghastly gloop that had no flavour of peanut whatsoever. I had ordered Pad Thai but what I got was mush in a box! It was all just awful, were was the beautiful fragrant colourful food! Just brown mush The only thing that was as it should be were the free prawn crackers! NEVER AGAIN!

Lovely food, best Chinese takeaway we've had in a long time!

This food was abysmal. Waited over 40 minutes for our order of a salt & pepper grab box, £7.80 + a bag of chips. The chicken, ribs , chips & onion rings were burnt to a crisp. Awful. Rang up to complain and they said bring it back so we can have a look because you could be making it up 😳😡 PLEASE people, don’t go here if that’s what you’re fancying

Brilliant local take away..... Loads of food if you order the noodle's..... £15 - £18 all in including 2 X small starters a single large main.... Food was delicious

Most authentic Thai we have tried. Thai green chicken curry is amazing. Wouldn't go anywhere else 😋

Very tasty food. Quick. Reasonably priced. Cash only. We will be using them again.

Had a delivery food all cold when it arrived not very happy with service

Simply outstanding service and food! You get loads, enough for an extra person or supper 😁

Fantastic food and friendly staff , been going here for years its spot on 👍

Lovely noodle boxes, would highly recommend. The staff are also very nice.

Brilliant food as always here, very friendly and generous portions.

This is our go to Chinese in runcorn, we've tried other places but always go back here, no request is too odd or too much trouble for them. Food is always hot and tasty. Very friendly staff.

Food is tasty And there nice and polite. Recomend this place.

We orderd a meal tonight for my husband's birthday but his crispy shredded beef was awful. Half of it wasn't cooked. Won't order from them again

This is our go to for amazing Thai food. Always friendly staff, tastey Thai green curry and speedy delivery. 100% recommend!

Check out the salt & pepper chicken 😋

Wow just wow 1st time ordering from here and it was amazing definitely be ordering from here again 10 out 10

Noodles cooked perfectly salt n pepper chips delisciouse but the salt n pepper chicken was so inedible was so tough it was like eating a shoe, could not chew any of the coated chicken. This was a sunday around 6 PM so possibly chicken strips from day before or cooked way too early an reheated all the goodness out of them, tough and dry no moisture at all or left to dry too long. Definately not freshly cooked even though pre ordered on phone... disappointed.

After moving to Runcorn I tried almost all the Chinese takeaways and they were all distasteful. I tried this takeaway on a whim this evening, lovely greeting the woman who served us was absolutely lovely, I expressed my weird request which was chicken in black bean sauce but extra spicy, she seemed delighted to enhance the dish with her home made spices, allowed me to taste before I left, and I can honestly say after coming home and demolishing my meal which included salt n pepper chicken, chicken black bean sauce extra spicy and chicken balls with sweet n sour sauce, both me and my partner agreed saying it’s the best Chinese food to date, I highly recommend and I will be back.

Tastiest place in Runcorn, amazing value for some amazing food! Would deffo recommend!

Salt and pepper chicken with noodles for £6? Banging.

I love this place and have been going ever since it opened. In particular I love the Thai menu but they also do a good noodle box menu and Chinese. The portions are a good size very fresh veg and good sizes of chicken used not like some of the other local restaurants where it’s tiny pieces and the food is so Tasty. If you haven’t tried here you really must and you won’t be disappointed. Thai red and green curry is amazing and the pad Thai also the Thai soup.

Only ever get the noodle boxes from here, amazing! 100% recommend a hot box or sweet and sour, i wont go anywhere else!

I went to a friends on Friday night and we ordered some takeaway from here. I can now see why it’s so popular. I have a slight addiction to Thai red curry, but I’ve never found anywhere that does it as nice as Chaophraya in Liverpool. I now have! Gorgeous food, piping hot and just enough spice. They also cater for food allergies. I’ll be ordering some myself next week! Superb.

This takeaway has Chinese Thai etc. My favourite is the Thai. Restaurant quality food. Thai red curry has fresh chicken and fresh veg in it with a nice kick. The portions are good sizes and lots of flavour. The Thai soup is also amazing and very fragrant. They offer lots of noodle box choices too and they are are great value for money.

reccomending the sweet and sour noodle box! they dont scrimp on the meat, its full to the brim, a small is more than enough one

Nice little take away I like to stop at when in the area. The hot box noodles certainly hit the spot and if you want to clear your guts out the following day it's the dish for you lol!

The Thai dishes and noodle boxes are exceptional. The Thai red curry Thai rice and the Thai soup is amazing. Fresh vegetables and nice big pieces of meat etc. Very tasty and very fresh food. Nice staff. Highly recommended.

I really rate this restaurant although I probably use a little to often, as the staff guess who I am just by my order. Food is always really good and consistent. Delivered hot and on the odd occasion something is wrong or missing, put right straight away. Occasionally you do have a wait on delivery times. (but this is to be expected if your ordering at peak times over a weekend) What more could you ask for! I highly recommend this Takeaway...

Best Chinese around duck spring rolls 👌

ordered noodle boxes for delivery. They took nearly 2 hours to arrive. Once here the food was nice but they need to work on the delivery times, its not good eating at 11PM

Have used Eastern Chef many times and the food is good but is let down by the delivery service. We ordered food and was told one hour, the food turned up two and a quarter hours later and then the driver tried to short change me, when I challenged him he said it's only 40p so he knew and was obviously trying it on .... very disappointing

Always lovely food still hot on arrival sometimes delivery is not on time . Doesn't put me off I always look here when I'm hungry and it's our treat well done guys x

The food took 2 and a half hours to come. By that time I was so hungry I didn't even taste it. It was hot when it got here which was a plus. The food is nicer then some but what is the point when it takes so long. It was only a Thursday.

Fantastic takeaway and lovely staff.

Over 20 order alway good if not excllent

Well according to this site my food has been delivered but it has not I have now waited over 2 hours for my order and it has not yet arrived! This is not the first time from Eastern Chef, such a shame as their food is lovely. This will be the last time I order from them and possibly from this site! Extremely hungry and very disappointed at such terrible service!

Meal was beautiful as always from the Oriental but sad to hear that they are no longer using just eat site

The food is great here. It's one of our favourite places to order from. The only problem is that the delivery time is shocking. Sometimes the food can be cold by the time it reaches us. We are always left waiting for about 2 hours, once it was 3. So be aware that if you're gonna order from here....You'll be waiting a while.

Order took 2 and a half hours to be delivered and was cold on arrival

They were a bit busy last night and turned up 40 mins later expected. Still enjoyed it tho

We asked for no shrimp and it camera with shrimp. Ruined the meal

What a shame, second time its been wrong, second time ive asked for no beansrouts and got them again! my daughter wont eat it though, they refused to redeliver as they said the driver was finished and asked us to make do and we could have a free box on next delivery. Second issue, the thai curry arrived in the carrier bag (not the box) as the delivery driver gave it to me, i rang up, they didnt believe me and said they wouldnt redeliver!!! so i told them to speak to the deivery driver and call me back, they did and redelivered this (my daughter was out when we initially arrived and we ate our meal, she came home afterwards to eat after we had already rang up about the curry being in the plastic bag) i had to cook.

Food was nice but not up to usual standard plus they won't be using just eat in future as we got a note taped to our food bag

remind me to never use this app or takeaway again two hrs later still waiting for me meal. it's only a five minute walk away ridiculous.

Best Chinese I have ever had. Just wish I tried there earlier. This will be r regular now :)

What a disgrace!! 2 hours for delivery when I rang all I got is oh sorry the driver hasn't come back yet (I was told that for and hour) asked for compensation but apparently there was nothing they could offer!! Then we get to the food....waste of my money it was vile and the portion's was stupidly small, safe to say I won't be ordering again. Oh yeah and the driver onxe he did turn up with my food was a loud mouthed scally who was rude and laughed in my face!!!!

Food took 2 hours and hot box was not how I asked it to be cooked won't be going again

I can't review it if it's not arrived

Third time in a row delivery took 2hrs to come

Delivery time is awful takes at least 2 hours every time I've ordered from here

I'm still waiting for my food, delivery time was 2 hours ago, and I need to sleep soon

Well........ Ordered food at 7 it turned up at half 10 missing chips curry sauce and salt and pepper chicken. When we rang they said do you want to just leave it off. No I don't that's why I ordered it. No offer of a refund fella brought the rest 1 half hour later and had no manners what so ever. Would rather starve than order from this place again. Although the salt and pepper Sui mai is nice like.

First time ive ordered from here. Was lovely, arrived early, food nice and hot, will definitely order from here again!

My order took 2 hours for delivery and it was only warm!! I've ordered from here many times and never had a problem befor but today wasn't good.

Excellent as always! The shredded chicken starter is the one !!!

Food nice but long wait for delivery,2 hours

Food came under and hour and was perfectly cooked 👌🏻

Lovely food half an hr earlier than was estimated, and on a Saturday night !! Very happy & will order again :)

Food took too long was late and bad quality , delivery guy was bad mannered and unpleasant ,never ordering from eastern chef again.

Awful service took over 1 hour 45 mins to be delivered

Waited over 1.5 hours for delivery then when it arrived was an item missing rang up to advise to be told they would put something on my next order missing item was part of the meal and not eatable without the item. Inssited they sent it out to be told it could be hours very poor customer service no apolgy given

Food was hot and cooked well. Only disappointment was only 3 small pieces of meat in the kaey teow noodle box expected more and 1 chunk of pineapple in the sweet noodles box. However deffinatley the nicest chinese/Thai in the area and staff polite and helpful

We received the wrong food but couldn't get through on the phone lines

Ordered at 8pm and no food by 10pm. Called them to chase. As they were busy they had put all orders from Just Eat to one side and would tackle them when ready!! Our food was due to be cooked at 10.10!!! Cancelled order and wouldnt use them again! Disgusting. They didnt have the decency to let us know.

Ordered from here for the first time after being screwed over by Win House. Everything from here was perfect, hot food, fast delivery and the best chips I have had in a long time. Would order again and again.

Food hasnt turned up!!! Not happy atall.

Was lovely hot food, an delivery time was quicker than expected 🙂👍🏻

3 hours i waited for my delivery. I wasnt happy!! When it finally turned up i wasnt hungry, we never even got anything to say sorry for the delay!

Food wasted very nice and long delivery

Amazing food just took so long suppose that coz they serve great food but still 2hrs joke

Would be better if they delivered the drinks I also paid for in advance....

Just had a notification to review an order on food I still haven't received over 2 hours after ordering. So unfortunately I can't review food I haven't eaten. I can however make a complaint about the disgraceful delivery time. Rang twice, first time I was told they were waiting for the driver to get back and the second (an hour later) I was told it wouldn't be long. Now 15 minutes ago. Disgrace.

The food was uncooked and soggy, the pawn crackers was all mashed up & the sauce was like water. The food took over an hour and a half to come and when we called them to ask why it was taking so long after an hour the lady on the phone was rude and made me feel small. Not a place i will go to again

Asked for no chilli in the sweet box, and it had loads of it in and a weird aniseed taste. Also salt and pepper chips had no flavour to them and were soggy waste of £20

Meal was awful.. dry no taste..crispy chilli chicken. Fried rice very dry too..

The delivery guy was very rude! Bad language and he didn't even speak he just grunted and when I gave him the money he dropped it all on the floor picked it up and said sound and just walked off. Not one please or thank you! Rude!

Absolutely awful ! Food was cold

Took hour n half for delivery meat was poor quality whole meal was stodgy. Won't be re ordering.

Food finally arrived after 1 hour 50 mins. It wasn't upto standard at all. Was cold and chips were soggy won't be going again
