Magic chef in Dover

Was our fave Chinese b4 they shut for holidays. Now not good at all. Dry , chewy food

At last a takeaway that delivers good tasting food that’s hot and no long wait delivery time was twenty minutes. Food was excellent really pleased I gave them a try

Wrong item, wood in chicken and mushy beef. Only realised when we got home with our order that they put a BBQ sauce instead of a Sweet and Sour. Had to go back and pick up another one. Also, the wooden skewer in the satay chicken had splinted from the main stick and was protruding through the chicken, which resulted in biting on the stick and tiny wooden shards in my mouth. Beef is mushy and don’t even want to risk the prawns. Total waste of our time and money. Won’t be going back. Was given full refund.

Food is tasty as it is fresh rice's are very reasonable costing 5.50 for there most expensive version. The staff are friendly would recommend

Great place excellent food very tasty will definitely be going back and recommending it to all friends and family

Food was very salty and had way too much oil on it. Did not enjoy at all.

I’ve ordered a lot from here recently and the food has always been hot, tasty and on time. They changed hands I think sometime this year and the menu is extensive and very good value, if you spend over £36 you get an extra dish free and four of us ate and we had the same left over so exceptional value for money. The chicken in plum or orange sauce is a definite winner for me but everything we’ve ordered has been fantastic

One of the best in dover food was hot delicious will be ordering again Thank you

Fingernail in my takeaway! Wife took a bite out of the chow mein and there was a fingernail in her mouth. Spoke to the restaurant and they said no refund and won't do anything about it. Horrible service and horrible food!

Great share boxes, quick service. Lovely food.

Just ordered from this restaurant absolutely lovely food was really surprised with Sweet and sour sauce Was absolutely lovely food was really happy thank you 😊

My new favourite Chinese takeaway. Food always delivered on time , hot and very tasty.

1st experience was good. Friendly staff. Good food. Hot, filled up, very tasty, fresh ingredients will return. Only downside is they don't take card payment unless you have a certain app. Will return.

Food was ok polite driver, munchies box very filling

Absolutely inedible slop by far the worst Chinese takeaway in Dover and I've ever eaten. The women on the phone hung up twice when we asked the driver to return immediately to give us our 30 pound back they said we would have to go down there and get a refund absolute ripp off merchants food ended up in the bin and we paid for another elsewhere dodge this place with a barge pile

Had a meal for 1 And prawn meals And was very impressed curry was Very good enjoyed my meal highly recommended thank you chef ..

Food arrived hot and was very nice delivery was a little slow but will defo be using again 👍

I've been here twice. The first experience was great, the second was terrible. Normally I'd give a place the benefit of the doubt and rate it somewhere in the middle. Maybe 2 or 3 stars, but that second experience was so dreadful there's no way I can give it more than 1 star. First visit: woman at the counter was friendly and I really enjoyed the food. They got my order wrong, but what I ended up with proved to be so nice that I didn't mind. Second visit: grumpy man behind the counter, to whom I seemed to be an inconvenience. I ordered the salt and chilli king prawns, which I'm aware should be salty, but these tasted of nothing but salt. I would have thought they added too much, but the Singapore noodles also tasted of pure salt. The sweet and sour chicken was okay, but any positives were outweighed by the indigestion and diarrhoea I had the next day. Dover has plenty of Chinese takeaways, so there's no need to go here.

Only one word needed. Disgusting

Average Chinese takeaway. Food is ok.

Food was hot, but all elements we had chosen seem to be packed out with onion with minimal contents associated with the order and all sauces were sloppy. There was no clear instructions for the selection of 'Free' items that I could see using the Just Eat App. Well disappointed, paid nearly £75 for a meal for four and was not worth it at all, especially when the 'free gifts' issued were two containers of dry inedible chicken coated strips . Will not be going back for sure

Cold and flavourless shredded lamb and was disgusted when I saw the hygiene rating. Definitely won't be ordering again.

Ordered from here three times now and have been pleased eachtime. I order the chicken and mushroom and plain rice and I love that the chicken is not just all gristle like from other places.. The service is fast and I have had no reason to complain so far.. The building doesn't look too decent but best Chinese in dover for takeaway I have found so far...

Food was over a hour late arriving

Over 1 Hour 15 mins late ,cold greasy & tasteless! Rang them twice , no apology what so ever, never ordering from here again, only used lotus house as Oriental Express is closed at moment

Very greasy and cold when it got to us couldn't eat all of it as was so greasy thought I would give this place another chance but wont be going here again

Wouldn't necessarily order from here again,

Very nice Chinese had many meals from here always been very tasty fast delivery service

Worst chinese iv had. Took 2hours for delivery, turned up cold and had to re heat. Chicken curry was that cold it had set. Will not be returning

How dirty you are! I orded some chicken balls with fries inside the chicken balls there was a f***** plastic straw ! The fries was old and the curry sauce was like shi* They should close this chines it could kill me !!!!!! I will never go and order from there ! I know it okay for them beacuse they eat dogs and rats. !

Disgusting food chicken was pink in curry and whole lot i had was tasteless i will never go here again and most stuff is microwaved!!!!!!!!

Perfect. Excellent food. Great staff.

Food was very nice, 1 of the best Chinese restaurants around!

Well where do I start with the lotus house wow, I had to place my order 4 times to make sure that it had been ordered and that it was going to be delivered. The best part was it was a person who worked on the shop who took my order it was the delivery driver who spoke very little English he put the phone down on me and then after two attempts at placing order the delivery driver contacted me but still couldn't give me the price or time that it was going to be delivered. Then once it got to my house I plated up the food which was not hot so I had to microwave my meal to heat it up. My king prawn curry was extremely salty and the prawns where still raw. The curry sauce for my chips was like water instead of it being thick. The sweet and sour chicken balls was salty and raw so I ended up wasting most of the food. So after I wasted the food i contacted the lotus house to be told that the manager was on holiday. So no wonder why the food was disgusting and cold you could actually tell that none of the food was cooked fresh it was all warmed up in a microwave. the bloke down their was extremely rude and aggressive about it and does not care. I thought that the customer was always correct but obviously not. The standards of that shop is appalling and no wonder why the food was terrible no owner so no decent food. Won't be using that Chinese ever again. Just hope this meal hasn't cost me to have food poisoning. When I did ring to complain regarding the meal there was not even a offer of a fresh meal for the hassle.

Ordered this evening after a long day at work. In my order should have been 2 rice, 2 chicken chow mein, 2 sweet and sour chicken balls and Curry sauce. Despite the gentleman repeating the order back to me twice, I was delivered 2 rice, prawn chow mein, and what can only be described as lumps of carrot swimming in a gloopy red substance. I paid the correct money for the correct order, as I added it up from the menu. I called the restaurant back so they could rectify the problem only to be rudely told I would have to pay for the changes as it was my error. I recalculated, to confirm I had paid the correct money. When the delivery driver arrived, he said they were complimentary, and then asked me for the money. I refused to pay, and was handed an old mobile phone, and the man I had spoken to previously began to yell at me down it, telling me I owed him money. I put the phone down and shut the door. Still no curry sauce, or second chicken chow mein. By this point I had given up, so I picked the prawns out, and my daughter who has a severe seafood allergy just had to go without. I will not be using this takeaway again, and if you're reading this, please teach your delivery driver the meaning of complimentary!

Horrible food terrible service gave me food poisoning😷😷😷😷😷
