Harrow Good Chef in Harrow

We called to order a takeaway and I was told 40 minutes, but I arrived 5 minutes early but only finally getting the food some 25 minutes later, but do you know what the food was great and tasty. Yes in the past they were not very good so I've not been for a long time, but after we had a couple of Chinese workers working at a house two doors up and he said the food was really good, so I thought if he says its good, then we'd try again. Well, we ordered special chow main, chicken with cashew nuts in yellow been sauce and egg fried rice, it was really enjoyable. Thank you, Chef.

I have been loyal customer for many years but overtime the lady who owns the place has been a bit off on the phone. She had really pushed it today as my 15 years daughter was placing an order on the phone with her and she started shouting and getting irate as she didn’t get the exact name of what she was ordering being correct. I understand that she may be busy in the take away but she has no right to be rude and to shout and anyone especially to young teenager. Please be very sure before you place an order as you may experience this side of the owner. I feel as the business has grown her attitude and customer service skills have declined drastically! Unfortunately, my daughter is very particular with food and considering the climate were in feel it’s more cost effective to order takeaway them dinning in on a Saturday night in a restaurant. I am definitely going to look for an alternative place to get my take away as I feel it’s gone beyond the point now, especially as I rang her back and asked her why she was shouting at my daughter and I didn’t reason with reason with her explanation. Good luck and good bye ‘Bad Chef’!! I would advise everyone to be cautious as this is not a pleasant experience, especially as we have been grabbing take away from this place since my daughter was young. Love to hear of any other great alternatives !

Really good food and big portions- the salt and peoper tofu is awesome

Chicken balls were very good. Pork balls, the meat was too dry unfortunately. Chow mein and fried rice were good, but not as good as others in Harrow (yet to find great chow mein tbh). I prefer my chow mein noodles thicker and with spring onion instead of carrots. Special fried rice was the fat rice, can't think of better way to describe it. Not as nice as the thinner rice (long grain v basmati, maybe?). Had to update as had Crystal's since and this was better, even the special fried rice.

We love the big spring rolls, very tasty and good value. The lollipop chicken and chicken wings are also amazing!

Loyal to this place for many years. Food quality down, delivery time up and prices up. Todays order took over 2 hours to arrive, Good Chef didn't answer calls so ordered something else and rejected delivery. There are far better places in the area now, goodbye Good Chef.

The food is okay but nowhere as good as the 'real good chef' from several years ago. That chef learnt his trade from a high quality chef in China and the food was 4-5 stars. This chef was probably taught by the previous chef but maybe not as skilled. The prices are now too high vs quality so I don't go there anymore unless I'm too lazy to cook for myself.

Food arrived 45 minutes late. Staff hang up phone on you, had to go to restaurant to find out what was going on. Awful service. Will never go back

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS TAKEAWAY!!! Firstly the woman on the phone is rude (given her 3 chances!) - she must believe that there are no other Chinese takeaways to order from - clearly doesn’t care about our business as other reviews have also commented on her rudeness. The last time we ordered we received the wrong dish and again the rude woman on the phone blamed us. She basically said that we wouldn’t get our money back as we made the wrong order WHICH WAS INCORRECT! I am tired of entitled shop owners with really poor customer service and mediocre food quality, thinking they can treat their customers in this way and just keep getting repeat business. Please everyone, they do not deserve to have loyal and repeated customers when they don’t treat people well or present decent enough food amount and quality. We are all going through economic crisis BUT clearly they don’t feel they need our business as there is no care about treating customers well. Maybe if sales dipped, customer service and food quality will improve. It’s a shame but all of this has to be said! DONT BUY FROM THIS TAKEAWAY!

Best bacon and eggs that I have ever had, and the coffee is amazing 😎

The receptionist who answers the phone was incredibly rude, unhelpful and hung up on me.. simply because I asked her what meat and was in a couple of the dishes so I could select my order! It is not the first t time time woman has been rude. I don't know why the owners are continuing to employ her... I would fire her in the spot if she spoke this way to customers. I've stopped ordering from them as a result of this woman rudeness. This place was lovely when Kim used to own it.

The food is great but the lady who serves is Racist. Do buy from here if black. I am now sick after eating there food. Customer service is abominable. Myself and a white lady was blatantly treated differently. The white lady saw the difference in treatment. DONT BUY IF YOU ARE SERVED BY LITTLE CHINESE LADY. VERY VERY RUDE.

Food quality is back to excellent again, in the last 12 months. I regularly order from here, and highly recommend the following dishes: - Deep fried crispy won ton: beautiful crunchy filo with a soft king prawn centre. Comes with a nice tangy sauce. - Crispy spring roll (1): Chunky, freshly made, great mix of ingredients. Filling and great value. - Salt & Pepper King Prawns/Chicken - both great, crispy with a mix of fried onion & chilli. Spicy but zingy and great. - Crispy aromatic duck: crispy, fatty in a good way, and comes with a great sauce and crunchy veg. - Duck chinese style: Amazing dish, duck with beansprouts and a beautiful sauce. - Vegetarian singapore noodles: Light, fresh and amazing with some healthy veg. - Special fried rice: Great, good mix of meat/prawns/peas etc.

Lovely Chinese place. I ordered a Manchurian Chicken Chow Mein and a Fried Crispy Chilli Chicken. Both were delicious and piping hot when arrived. It did take ages to come but I think the restaurant was super busy so that shows it’s popular. Will definitely order from here again soon

First but definitely the last visit to this place. The chicken chow-mein was noddles with pieces of chicken chucked in. King prawn fried rice was the worst I’ve had in a long while. Singapore fried rice wasn’t much better. Spare ribs weren’t that bad though. Overall, a 1 out of 10 score and virtually a rip-off experience.

Used to be good but now not so great nor fresh.

After having a chinese favorite restaurant for years which now closed down, we discovered this lovely place! The roast duck and the beef in black bean sauce are absolutely amazing, the way we got used to. Happy that the tasty original recipes can still be enjoyed.

Worse food ever! Have not used for a long time as moved. Food used to be good. Ordered duck in black bean, hoi pork and noodles, all dishes came with disgusting black sauce. Cost over £20. Called to complain, woman very rude. Will never use again.

Excellent Sweet n sour pork Rive with eggs 10 pounds only Collection

Used to be the best Chinese food around, not anymore the quality has deteriorated, tastes reheated with no flavour and not freshly cooked

The food here is reasonable but the customer service and especially the ogre on the front desk are despicable. Rude, no sense of how to run a business or treat the customers who u rely on. Horrible experience

Worth for money food , good portion size, newly renovated , taste best

This is my Saturday treat....been ordering from here for at least 5/6 years now & food is always fresh & very, very tasty 🤤 I recommend the chilli panner! My fav 🤤🤤🤤

Good Chef is always a good shout for us, great range of veggie options, particular faves are salt & pepper tofu and sweet & sour mock chicken!

Ordered from here 3 times now, Food always comes fresh! Great customer service.

I'm a regular customer and I've given a good review before, but honestly it's unacceptable sometimes the food comes fresh, sometimes it comes burnt and smelling like the food from the day before, I'm even afraid to eat because it comes with shrimp it can even be dangerous to health!! Very disappointed this is the third order that arrives in bad condition. I will stop ordering!!!!

The old bag of a rude lady that works on the counter is a serious put off. You lady are a bad dog! Also the food was much better before as many people are saying. My family all had FOOD POISONING due to this place, never ever again.

First time and last time ordering from here. Chow mein was very below par, no taste very bland. They only put bean sprouts in the dish. Normally should have onions and spring onions to release the flavours not even sure if they put any soy into too.

Manageress is very nice these days. Also if you want Pad Thai order it from a Thai restaurant. No point giving this place a bad review for that.

The best chinese food in London

This spot has restored my faith in chinese food. Stopped eating chinese due to all the rubbish, oily, salty, bad quality food around. This is the best i’ve had honestly. Fresh, good ingredients (love the coriander in the chicken fried rice), all dishes were very good. Will be returning!! Keep up the good work

Literally the best Chinese in Harrow and Hillingdon borough.

"Pad Thai" is literally noodles with ketchup. There are no tomatoes in Pad Thai... On the phone I was told that's "just how they do it, with tomatoes".

Nice chilli beef n chicken satie egg fried rice

Used to be great now it's horrible. microwaved food - new owners

Best taste and very good portions.

Good food good service and it has a good hygeine rating so you know its safer

Honest review: Speedy delivery - bang on time. Total order £23.10 - portions were excellent and the food was super tasty and worth the spend. I'm still searching for the best Chinese takeaway around here but in the meantime I will definitely be ordering from this place again! I ordered: King Prawn Black bean sauce - spicy and very tasty. Good amount of prawns and full of flavour! Sauce was thick - all in all extremely tasty!! Kung Po King Prawn - Large portion and lots of prawns! Very tasty and super spicy like very spicy!! It was really nice. However, it was a little on the sweet side. Whilst I might not order this dish again - I'll be sure to try something else that I'm sure will be just as tasty! I also ordered Crispy Fried Crab Claws which were tasty.

Wicked food always fresh and hot and tasty love to the good chef from 33 Wilson

Just the best Oriental take away in Harrow.

When I went the phone was off the hook busy! Still every dish we had was fantastic. Each dish had distinctive depth of flavour. Dishes had good meat quota in them and the it was not greasy a common issue with takeaways. My favored choice in Harrow area for a Chinese take away.

Awful food, bland, tasteless, cold. Safe your money and eat somewhere else.

Excellent taste, will be ordering again. Glad we found this place close to home.

I love a chinese now and again. My local was nihao wembley park and favourite. But unfortunately ive just tried GOOD CHEF and i must say hands down this the best Chinese takeaway ive ever had. Definitely recommend this to try, you Chinese lovers you wont be disappointed.

Great tasting Chinese take away!

Order 3 things for the first time, seeing the reviews were decent on Just Eat. Chicken Chow Mein, Beef Chow Mein and Fried Crispy Chilli Chicken. Honestly the food was ok, nothing tasty, very bland. The beef meat was visible but the chicken wasn't, small, tiny pieces. The worst of the order was the Fried Crispy Chilli Chicken. The description was "Dry with onion and green pepper" didn't mention anything about being sweet. Honestly, tasted like a chicken caramel donut. Not my taste, but should of been in the description. Only given them two stars as the order arrived 15 min early.

Terrible customer service! Food arrived an hour and 10 minutes early, meaning my girlfriend wasnt here at the time. After politely explaining to the delivery driver the mistake, i declined delivery as i did not want to pay £30 for something that would have sat on the side for an hour. I called the restaurant to explain the mistake and cancel the order, was told not to order again and then got hung up on. Shame as we'd heard good things about this place!

Awful Since New Ownership - pad thai way too sweet and satay chicken the very worst I have ever experienced, it ended up in the bin. When we came in there a neighbour was arguing with the owner about their new sign, seems they couldn't care less about the local community.

Great takeaway. We have been eating food from here for nearly 20 years and it's still as good as it has always been. Favourites are definitely the crispy shredded beef, anything with ginger and spring onion and the crispy duck. Service is always extremely fast.

Very impressed food was nice :) will order again well done good chef ;)

Service was commendable as the order had custom changes and it still came well ahead of time. Recommend the veg manchurian and chicken curry. My only qualm would be the opening hours, nonetheless have made this our regular Chinese takeaway.

Mixed experience of the food here. The crispy seaweed was garnished with staggering quantities of.....sugar! So it was like eating a sweet dish. The fried king prawns were good as was the special fried rice. All a bit salty though ....

Food is nice service abrupt but Gd value

What a meal ....for 6 people... Absolutely delicious, mainly because I requested the meal to be made to my liking .This is very unusual for a take out restaurant. There service & local delivery was exceptional. Keep up the good work!

My local. Dependable for over 20 years

Great food at Good price. Never been disappointed.

Having seen the good reviews, I tried this place. Ordered four items. All four were total disappointment. I regularly eat Chinese food locally & overseas. This was undoubtedly one of the worst food I have ever tasted

the best beef in black bean sauce. our fav

Absolutely fantastic!!!! I have been to many many Chinese places and the food and prices are absolutely fantastic and the owners are SOOOOO nice. I think even if you don’t live in the area it is worth making the trip out for the food. They are quite nice if you are a regular she’ll remember your name and order :D I couldn’t be more fortunate to live where I am with Good Chef right next to me. Need to give a try Ahmed

The food is delicious and the staff are friendly. Food is always ready quickly.

Great food! I will recommend to everyone

Have ordered food from here multiple times. Really tasty food and reasonably priced.

Worst food ever, Took 15 mins to deliver, Spring rolls had too much pastry, 1/4 Duck was cold and the cucumbers were not fresh. Chicken and Duck in black bean sauce had not taste. Rice was not cooked enough. Pork Ribs had loads of sauce but again did not taste of anything. Salt and Pepper Bean Curd was not cooked properly. Sale and Pepper Chicken Wings were dry and not fresh. I would avoid this place at all cost.

Best chinese takeaway ever! Great value! Lovely staff! Delicious food! Never disappoints!

A very good take away restaurant just a few metres away from my home which is very convenient on a Friday or Saturday evening. Very fast and reliable service. Great variety of meals for a decent price. Highly recommended.

Best Chinese takeaway in Harrow, by far.....

Wont go anywhere else!Its a take away only Chinese, Cantonese, Peking and Thai Cuisine restaurant with excellent quality food. I live in the local area, and we often order from there and we've never had a problem. The shop itself seems small from the outside, but is very clean and friendly on the inside. The food is delicious and moist. No dried out chicken or stale prawn crackers. The prices are very good for the quality given. Reccomended to everyone I've tried other Chinese take away shops in Harrow and North Harrow and they just dont compete. I wont go elsewhere anymore
