Good Chef in Bedford

Cold food. No filling in the spring rolls and very hard. Satay sauce is more like pure oil with barely any chicken. Duck soggy not crispy. The Special Chow mein ok but would not re order. Ribs are pure fat. The only edible thing was the prawn crackers. Picture to show just how oily My daughter also bit into something incredibly hard in the rice. Not sure what it is. Photo attached. Her tooth could not bite through it (she is 10 so doesn’t usually struggle to bite food) When I called to mention the lady did not care at all. £45 later and looks like I’ll be cooking tonight.

Does the job, but prices on Facebook are old and way less than they now are

My regular Friday night Chinese. Well priced and well portioned. Cannot complain - everything they do is delicious.

We have recently moved to the village and thought we would try the local Chinese, we ordered 2 mains, a rice, a side dish and some prawn crackers, we were surprised this all come to under £19 (our previous Chinese charged nearly £30 for the same order) I was sceptical from the price as to how the quality may differ but I can hands down say it is up there with one of the best Chinese takeaway meals I’ve had! Cheap, tasty and quick service - we will definitely return !

Food OK, but they can't cook chips

My favourite Chinese takeaway, lovely food and lovely staff

Ordered chicken with cashew nuts, got home to find something completely different..! The other item I ordered (lemon chicken) had virtually no taste, and there were no prawn crackers provided…. Not a good experience or value for money, won’t be back.

Good food, but unfriendly woman at the desk. They do not take card payments 😞

As far as Chinese takeaways go, this is a very good one. Curry and chow mein are very tasty and neither scrimp on the meat. The meat itself is good quality, especially the roast duck. Price is reasonable.

Stopped on the way home from work as the restaurant is on the way, first time I've used it and was not impressed, sweet and sour chicken balls were nice but that's about it. The chicken chop suet didnt taste nice at all I usually keep the leftovers for the next day to take to work but sadly it's going in the bin! Prawn crackers had no taste apart from cooking oil. I actually feel a bit sick now. I cant even describe the chop suey it just tasted awful and slimy. I wont be visiting again

Lovely food - cooked quickly and reasonably priced

This was just about the worst takeaway ever. The chicken balls were swimming in grease and the chow mein was literally slimy with grease. Never again thank-you.

Good, straightforward Chinese Takeaway at Clapham parade of shops that we've used on and off for quite a few years. They are cash only at the moment. There's a cash dispenser over the road at the Tesco Express supermarket if you need cash. Parking available outside.

I usually go to Tavistock street for my Chinese but after hearing good things about this place I thought I would try it. Oh my gosh why did I bother I should have continued to Tavistock street and driven past this place. Extremely expensive £14 for two dishes. I ordered king prawns with salt and chilly It was a very small portion compared to other places and no peppers literally just the prawns and a couple of chopped up chilly. The pork chow mein was horrible like in a gravy no bean sprouts but carrots more like a disaster How can you call it a chow mein without onions and bean sprouts. I didn’t eat much as it tasted very badly. Ended up going back out and to the usual place What a costly expensive Won’t be using local takeaways again

Have a regular Chinese van visit our village at weekends but fancied one mid week and was over that way. It seemed ok for the price. Fairly cheap for a Chinese so was impressed at first but the quality of the ingredients were cheap, that was evident. The shredded chilli beef must have been shredded to nothing because it was so thin. some of the pieces would break your teeth they were so hard and there was no sauce. The salt and chilli chicken was ok, again dry and the meals were not fresh. The only saving grace were the mini spring rolls! Plentiful and tasty but I thought they were a bit salty.... Overall I thought it 'meh' But I've now been awake since 2am with my mouth as dry as a badgers chuff, totally over heating and with a banging headache from dehydration. The meal must have had so much salt in it I feel awful! Fellas awake too. If I could give it a zero I would. Very poor food. Never again. I don't know why people would chose to eat there.

The chicken balls were beautiful and fresh and Lovely Salt and chilli king prawns! Special fried rice and vegetable chow mein was spot on. However the beef curry had a very small portion of meat in it, and the chips were like cardboard! Sweet and sour pork was pretty tasty. On the whole a decent Chinese but my only criticism is the portion sizes are not the biggest! Could be more generous with the meat content in the curry and the noodle content in the chow mein! The chicken balls are not the largest either but very tasty and fresh which made up for it. 7/10.

Beef Curry Roast Pork Chow Mein & Chips grabbed on the way home (DIGS) from work. First time ordering from here as I live In London. Very Satisfied great food and service received.

Usually always a great feed from here

Great comfort food, excellent prices

Best Chinese takeaway around. Excellent quality, service and hygiene.

Never fail to have a good take away meal here

Lovely food as always. From NO ONION CREW

Excellent first time I've been there and seriously could not fault wat I had one of the best in Bedford

Best in Bedford. They deliver to me on the opposite side of town.

Food and service excellent and have been using them for several years. Only minor gripe is that it is cash only otherwise 5 stars.

+ food is good, - prices creeping up too much

I have used this takeaway for years and they have never let me down. I always ring my order in first and it's usually ready to collect within 20 minutes. Food is good and reasonably priced. The only minus is they are cash only and don't take cards but there is a cash point across the road so it's not the end of the world.

the food is very nice and cooked 2 order

The reviewer who said this is the best Chinese takeaway in Bedford clearly hasn’t eaten proper Chinese food. The chicken wings were stewed and chewy, the bean sprouts were steeped in grey water with absolutely no trace of flavour, oyster or soy sauce . Truly awfully.. NOT a good chef !!

And that's being generous. My husband called in to order and collect. The only reason being that the chippy next door was packed and decided on Chinese. Over priced. Cold . Rice was basic. the worst dried up bendy sweet and sour chicken ever.and spring rolls by the look of them were made last spring. First and last visit .

very rude on the phone, the chips tasted like old fish n chip shop chips, chicken balls were all batter. Rice was nice....

Friendly staff and excellent food. Would highly recommend.

Have started using Good Chef after trying several takeaway restaurants in Bedford and have now made them our regular place (we have been using them for the last seven months now) . The food is wonderful and they deliver to Dover Crescent area so another win.
