Happy Chef Chinese in York

Duck was so nice everything was 😊👍 everyone happy and full thank you so much 👍👍👍

The food took nearly 2.5 hours to arrive with only one update to say it was going to be later than expected and no apology.

Driver was fantastic, we are quite remote and he phoned us when unsure, food lovely too!

Sorry for poor review rating I ordered at 1739 for order at 1945 meal arrived at 2045 clap cold and inedible.. the weather was bad tonight but it would have been better to not accept the order first time ordering with this business and the last.

2 hours late and very little care given.

we regularly use Happy Chef and have for years. We ordered our meals at 18.30 and received them after 21.15. I had to call the restaurant twice to chase them. When I first called at 20.30 I was told the driver was on the way, I called again half an hour later Iwas told the driver had left the restaurant 40 minutes ago. Needless to say our food was cold when it arrived.

Leaving a good review to counterbalance the whinging 1 stars. Always had very good food here at a good price. We tend to collect and when we do have it delivered it's no slower than you'd expect on a Friday night.

absolutely amazing. Arrived hot, tasted amazing and with big portions.

As always, the meal was excellent and delivery was on time.

Food was ok, arrived hot and the vegetables were very fresh. Order took such a long time though, considering it was a very small order.

Lovely food and delivered on time

Delicious food, ordered over £100+ for delivery and the order was correct. Quick service. Highly recommend the pancake rolls and the salt & pepper chips in batter

The food was excellent and they kept us up to date will delivery times.

Always Delicious food, plenty of meat. Still hot. Delivered super quick. Many thanks

Excellent food! Excellent service! All food still hot and delicious. Thank you 🙏 🤩

Missing item & food marked as delivered before actually arriving

Restaurant was great and nice food. Would love the black pepper sauce to have a tofu option as when mixed but from another dish it went amazingly. Not for the restaurant but the just eat delivery driver was just plain rude. Spent time lecturing me that the Royal Mail/owner of our holiday apartment had got the address wrong. Delivery driver used the latter part of the address rather than the start of the address so ended up in wrong place.

Fantastic food - really enjoyed it and it’s made our night ! Was a big order

Food was delicious as always and hot

Great food! Always hot. Quick delivery. Great service!

Absolutely outstanding food arrived hot & extremely tasty ,

I ordered for my sons birthday tea, I placed the order at 6.20pm and had to call the restaurant at 8.30 to see where my order was! The food was cold, lukewarm at best and the chips and chicken were like cardboard. I paid over £73 for a birthday treat, for an order that was mostly inedible! Refusing to partially refund for this is really bad customer service, I will not be using Happy Chef again!

2 drinks missing (both refunded through JustEat as the restaurant did not answer), restaurant and driver were a bit rude when asking when’s our food was and where the drinks were (we only got ahold of the driver who told us to call the restaurant), when on the phone to the restaurant they kept cutting me off when i was asking questions, we tried to call the restaurant 5 times to ask about our drinks but could not get through. food was good.

Order was 45 mins late and when it arrived was incredibly salty. I could tell everything had been cooked well and would have been tasty but they had gone way too heavy handed with some kind of seasoning mix at the end which left it totally inedible.

Lovely food, delivered piping hot, generous portions, great value for money!

Order was late but was worth it

too much soggy batter on the chicken

Excellent quality food and delivered in great time :)

Food is always very good, driver always punctual, helpful and cheerful.

Food was late and not up to their previous standards, hopefully just an off night for them.

Our fav Chinese - we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Food is always great and delivered on time

ordered crispy chicken not shredded crispy chicken it was all batter

The food was inedible (two items of the order) due to a huge amount of sugar being put in (accidentally, I assume). Tasted awful. Will not buy from here again.

Excellent chicken balls with a nice big pot of sauce, good ribs, delicious chicken chow mein. Free prawn crackers😋 Delivery was a tiny but slow but it was saturday night and I'm sure it's very popular as the food was great. We'll definitely order again!

Several phone calls with the restaurant they’ve been rang and said that they were in another village and would be me next this specifically said please could they come and deliver it to us first as were waiting over 2 hours and the delivery still took 20 minutes from that point without an apology from the driver and then parts of our starters were missing

DO NOT ORDER HERE. Over 1.5 hours to deliver salt and pepper chips with spring rolls. That was honestly the full order. The food wasn't even remotely good after that. See attached photo of plain chips sold as salt and pepper chips. Oh, and for this small order it cost £14 with the delivery.

Although delivered late. We were kept updated.

Nice ribs aplenty of meat nice crispy beef

Lovely food & always cheerful staff

2hrs I waited for a delivery, finally turned up and it was lovely

I waited more than 2 hours for my food

Gorgeous food, always piping hot. The best chow mein in york

The crispy beef was gammy, not crispy, and the chips tasted a week old. It came 30 mins late. The satay chicken strips were lovely though

Great crispy duck and pancake rolls

Usual menu for a Chinese. obviously lots of microwaved food which is fine. Food was okay, not good. The chicken in the Chow Mein was so soft it felt horrible. Ordered with an initial delivery time of 45 mins, got a text saying it was delayed, didn't arrive until just under 2 hours had passed at nearly 9pm. Ruined a night in with friends. Wouldn't use.

Offered delivery within 50 mins, but after 80 minutes still no delivery. Called restaurant at 80 minutes…. Confused with address..

Not sure what happened tonight, well late and freezing cold , chips dried out hard & cold. Hope this is a one off !

food was as tasty as usual, but it was delivered well over an hour late.

Quality food, delivered earlier than estimated. Definitely order from here again

Best special I’ve had, really enjoyed it 😋

Ordered at 11 o’clock at night and Got salt and pepper ribs and crispy chilli beef with fried rice and really enjoyed it. Asked for them to ring me when they was outside because I was in a apartment which they did delivery driver was really friendly and on time.

the chips were really sad, tasted like old oil and cardboard like and dry. the rice was also dry and tasted old. not great, wouldn't use them again. it was a Saturday night so should atleast be hot fresh chips

Just poor this time… chicken fried rice dry, hard chicken, flavourless. The same can be said for the whole meal… usually pretty good from here and always very friendly delivery drivers, but it only takes one order like this to put you off for good.

lovely food lovely delivery driver

Lovely food, arrived on time, much appreciated

Lovely, delicious and hot as always 🤩

Good food, expect more salt than usual, on time delivery

Excellent food and the delivery driver was fantastic…highly recommend and will order from here again.

Arrived earlier than expected and red hot! One of the nicest Chinese we’ve had

arrived hot , good quality ingredients

Great food but it was supposed to be delivered at 17:25 and we got it at 17:45.

prawn toast was good. sweet and sour sauce was a little thin, but tasted ok and chicken and rice were well cooked and generous portions. All food arrived hot and well ahead of predicted delivery time.

Best pancake rolls ever, big in size and full of all different meats (chicken, pork, prawns) No one else in York makes these! Always hot, always cooked perfectly. Definitely my go to Chinese.

Duck rolls were disgusting hardly any duck in at all it was all batter and they were way too greasy ! Also prawn toast was awful not usual standard ! First bad takeaway we’ve had from here really disappointed

Great food, piping hot and very quick delivery. Great service, thank you 🙏

Very nice food and great service, a missing item was delivered not long after

Food was as fabulous as always but was delivered late.

excellent food! really really nice.

10 mins late but worth the wait! Delicious as always

Food delivered very very late squid under cooked and mushy batter same for prawns terrible food from a very inexperienced chef!! Has too been horrid poor quality food that went straight to the bin!!!!!!!!

Best Chinese in York!all the food we've had has been amazing and piping hot!highly recommended :)

Food was fantastic and delivery was on time and all round good service

still hot when it arrived, tasty and spicy, Just what I wanted - spot on

husband said its best mixed grill had in ages

The salt and pepper chips were wonderful would definitely come again!

Absolutely fantastic food, food came exactly on the stated time piping hot and the driver was extremely friendly aswell!

Majority of the food was cold.

Really impressed, great food and service thanks!

Quality was good but received no forks or napkins. Staying in a hotel it waa impossible to eat

Food was delivered earlier than expected which was great at estimated time was an hour. The food was hot and tasted delicious - will definitely order from here again.

Definitely my favourite in York. Thank you

Excellent quality and very hot and tasty. Thank you 🤩

Amazing, delicious food as always.

I didn’t even get my food and I have missed an important exam at college, this is my final exam my whole grade for university is based off, because I was waiting for my food. I waited 1hour and a half and didn’t get my food I paid £16 for. I’m fuming and your service is ridicules.

The Salt and Pepper box was so salty, it was inedible. I rang and the women who answered thought it was funny and said she'd tell the chef... no apology 🤷‍♂️ won't order again

Technically a little bit late but was worth the wait! Amazing food, very happy!

Delicious selection of food. Everything I’ve ordered from this take away has been first rate. Delicious and still hot. Super quick delivery. Lovely staff. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

Lovely food, helpful when I needed to change address, happy driver, thank you!

rang after 1 hour to ask where the meal was and they said it was delivered it was not. they called driver who said it was delivered correctly it was not. had to re cook more food and took over 2 and a half hours from ordering to get the food. driver early needs a different job. house that took the food should be held accountable

Delivered hot and delicious. I would highly recommend.

Always great Chinese food from here, number 1 Chinese takeaway for me! Fast delivery and always friendly drivers.

best in york, good value, food is class and really quick delivery

Don’t usually complain as it’s always been nice but when we opened it there was a fly dead in the prawn crackers. I have photo as proof but don’t want it to mean bad as it may have been an accident .

Chicken chow main was awful the chicken was chewy the whole dish was mass of sticky noodles abd chicken with no flavour .the fried rice was uncooked and cold the chips were over cooked and hard. Such a shame .

Very nice food delivered hot & early

as always a stunning salt and pepper box

Another tasty takeaway from here

Great local takeaway always Bally with the food and service is non a regular basis

Amazing food. The restaurant did call us to pre warn they were going to be late. Considering this everything was still super hot and nothing was soggy. Lovely staff on the phone and delivery driver and very tasty all round. Would definitely order again.

Fantastic. Best Chinese we've had in years. The others in York seem to being going downhill in quality and up in price but not these guys!
