Happy Chef Chinese in York

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.

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

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!

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..

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

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

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 🤩

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

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

arrived hot , good quality ingredients

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

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

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

husband said its best mixed grill had in ages

Majority of the food was cold.

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

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

Amazing, delicious food as always.

Excellent quality and very hot and tasty. Thank you 🤩

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.

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 .

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

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!

Lovely piping hot food, thank you. 👌🏽 special udon, chips & the nicest Chinese curry sauce we’ve had for a long long time. Will order again :)

Delicious food as always and super fast delivery. Thanks 🤩

This is one of the nicest Chinese meals I have had in York. Well done 👍

Rice was dry and tasteless, salt and pepper chicken balls were very odd

Great meal. really enjoyed the battered sweet and sour chicken and spring rolls. many thanks

we were missing a chicken dish?

Only Ordered 4 things but didn’t receive one of them 🤦🏻‍♂️

Food wasnt anything amazing unfortunately, but after waiting an additional 45 mins for it it did. The food arrived barely warm and what was ordered was soggy, probably won't order again from here.

Complementry extra item with order which I feel was a great touch, especially if you love long hairs in your food. Unfortunately even with the 2 hour delivery time, we were not hungry enough for that. Even though the raw chicken did look appetising at this point. Glad that the lady on the phone found it hysterical when I called to complain. At least someone was happy. P.S good luck getting a refund- apparently you should eat the items that you haven't found any hairs or raw chicken in (yet). Enjoy!

Would buy again as food was tasty. Thanks

Thanks . Top food, we’re super fussy so much appreciated x

Driver polite food hot and early then time said

Food quality was great, portions were great and delivery was on time definitely will order again

Late delivery and everything was cold

Food was good but came very early. Ordered at a specific time as friends were coming.

food was very good, the chicken in lemon was not nice and we had to bin it

Delivery driver was wonderful, food was good, portions very generous

service was good but the food was "meh"

I will never order from you again

My go to Chinese at the moment!! Always banging each and every time we order! Salt and pepper chips and chicken to die for! Always hot and comes on time too.

Could not get in contact to find out where the delivery was, was close to ordering something else when the order arrived.

Very tasty food. Delivered earlier than estimated and was piping hot.

very tasty food will be ordering from here again ! Best Chinese in YORK

Food was cold and the chips tasted awful.

Could not fault this place at all. Delivery driver was apologetic because it took 40 mins for me to get my food on a Friday night. Everything was amazing, all I could say of the spring rolls were slightly softer than what I like but still, one of the best Chinese I’ve had since moving to York 2 years ago 🩷

Not really nowt to write home about Chicken was dry and chips had a funny taste to them like not clean oil. Sorry but very disappointed. Didn’t eat the food
