Master Chef Chinese Takeaway in Ipswich - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lamb was awful, everything was overcooked. Rice was flavourless. Rang the restaurant and said we would be happy for it to be replaced and they refused and told me to complain via just eat ?? Chance at offering customer service ruined …

This was the best Chinese we have ever had, was just absolutely incredible 10/10

I spent £40 and only ate the pork that was the worst meal I’ve ever had it all tasted really weird

i used to come here alot but it went down hill so I gave it a wide birth for along time I thought I'd give another chance tonight and tbh I shouldn't of. The rice was so hard was awful the noodles were very very greasy the curry sauce was a lump of jelly the chips were soggy and arrived with something else inside the packet looked like calamari bits was vile , the giant spring roll was soggy fell apart packet was full of oil I will never be returning again . worst yet and cold . 0 stars

The food was terrible, everything very soggy, greasy with no flavour and we had to chuck it away. My order included two different squid meals and I only got two ridiculously tiny pieces included with each dish and tonnes of veggies to cover it up. This ruined our Sunday family dinner together. Never ordering from this place again, waste of money, very disappointed.

It was very kind our request for a food intolerance was taken on board, thank you but we won't be ordering from this restaurant again. Everything was overcooked and so deep fried alot of it was difficult to chew and so greasy especially the lemon chicken. The duck was very fatty and some burnt bits. No hoisin sauce. We spent £62 so should have called up and asked for a refund or replacement but we'd had a bad day and we're all starving and had to go out again quickly after eating so we just didn't want the hassle. The chow mein and rice were nice though. Appetisers very overcooked,greasy and all chucked in squashed up together giving it all a terrible aftertaste. I think it may have been stuff from the night before re heated. Sorry but no it wasn't a good meal.

first time using here, food was nice and delivered reasonably hot. Only disappointment is the small portion sizes for the price. Set meal with curry, egg fried rice and chicken balls. I expected a tub of curry and a tub of rice but it was a one tub half and half and 5 chicken balls. also bought some extra dishes which where also tasty but very expensive for the size of the portion. I have given 4 stars as although the amount of food for the price was poor the food was tasty.

Everyone avoid this Chinese it’s absolutely vile placed a order with these last night food arrived and it looked grim chips burnt rice smelt burnt roast pork chow mein looked greasy and to much soy sauce!! Chicken balls we’ll over cooked to the point they looked burnt called restaurant up today to be told I won’t be receiving a refund!! they let flys get into peoples food very unhygienic place to get your food from I will now be reporting this place to trading standards absolute rubbish customer service !!!! Avoid at all costs don’t waste your money scummy staff members!!!!!

Super delicious as always highly recommended, all 8 dishes were excellent and piping hot. Definitely one of the best takeaways in Ipswich.

Food was over an hour late and cold when it atrived

food was tasty although some was overcooked. Arrived very late

Food was very late, some of it was very over cooked, possibly reheated and it was all cold and soggy. Absolutely disgusting.

poor quality food very greasy like it had been waiting a long time to be delivered. took over an hour to cook starters. Very poor will not use again

Prompt delivery with hot food, however the flavour and quality of the food wasn’t very good, especially for the prices they’re asking for.

I was texted 10 mins before expected delivery that delivery was delayed. Delivery person was curtious and pleasant

Not impressed with salt and pepper chips. They should put a proper description in the menu. They were not nice

Rice undercooked average food would've got one star if not for few pints over the road in pub

lovely food. arrived hot and everything that should be crispy was! 1st time ordering will definitely do so again thank you

Was on being delivered for an hour then said delivered and 15 minutes later I called the restaurant. Said it was out for delivery but was delivered half hour late and afte lr 1.5 hours of them saying it was out for delivery. Most of the food was warm but the chow mein was well over cooked and like stodgy. Everything else was nice but would have been better hot.

good food, arrived before estimated time.

Fantastic food as always. Spring roll as big as a pasty and stuffed with meat. Best Chinese in Ipswich.

First time trying here and I personally won't be back. Pork and chicken balls were over cooked and nearly all batter as were prawn balls (which definitely weren't king prawns like advertised). Curry sauce tasted nothing like a curry, and sweet and sour sauce left a funny taste. Foo yung was watery and leaked all over the bag and chips were really greasy. Overall not a great meal and wish instead I'd have gone elsewhere. Collection was nearly 10 mins after the time agreed however I had an order o

Overall I would rate very highly, we ordered as the delivery time suited us as we were going out. After ordering they extended delivery time by 30 minutes! On arrival the food was first class, the delivery driver was very good. I will definitely be using them again!

2nd time ordered from these has new in the area and both times I personally had two different items and both times have been lovely plenty of it and very tasteful thankyou to the chef I definitely recommend this takeaway

Disappointing - wrong rice was delivered, chop suey had soft beansprouts, broth in chicken noodle soup was bland, while the rest of the food was salty. First and last time of using.

Everything was amazing thank you! Only one thing I spent £50 and didn’t get any prawn crackers 😅

Disappointed, the pancake rolls are usually the best but sad to say tonight they tasted decidedly odd. Whether it was old fryer oil or something else I don't know but we'll think twice about ordering again which is a shame.

好吃，nice and fresh, good size portions

Items arrived damaged, but alongside that the food quality was terrible cheap and chewy!

Food was awful nothing like what we ordered

Arrived a little bit later than supposed to. But let's remember - it's Saturday. Food arrived piping hot. Great quality. All tasty! Happy bunnies! 🌟

Lovely hot food and prompt delivery as always 👍

Chicken balls were nasty. My salt and pepper chicken was a little overcooked. the chow mein was okay.

Delivery driver was on the earlier side of delivery but the food wasn't very good so wouldn't order from them again, chicken satay sticks borderline inedible

Was lovely and the chicken that was used for all the dishes was fresh unlike some other takeaways

Absolute vile food! Smelt like and tasted like chemicals. The whole order was wasted. Sweet and sour sauce was a red chemical liquid. Avoid this place!!!!

I regularly use this place for takeaway, so I can't really complain as I know what I'm getting. Food is a bit hit and miss, but it's mostly on the plus side of ok.

Big portion sizes, not the best we've had by any stretch, but wasn't disappointed just a bit too salty for us.

Fantastic food, never disappointed. Food always hot. Thank you see you next time

Absolutely delicious! Especially the duck pancakes. However be warned, the salt and pepper chicken is SPICY!!!

My goto in Ipswich. If anyone did what I want better I’d be ordering from them.

Really lovely food the chow main was a little greasy but other than that lovely!

Kung po chicken and chicken balls were lovely! Food was hot, and arrived 15 mins early! Delivery lady was nice too. Only downfall was rice noodles were a bit bland. Other than that, excellent meal!

Vomit inducing, Not only did they get the order wrong they placed shrimp into the special fried rice after they were asked 3 times not to include it due to allergy.

AVOID. Gave me and my partner food poisoning!.

Food was mediocre. Crab was not crab. Rice clustered and dried out in places. Fritters had barely any syrup. Was initially pleased by the rapid delivery time, but now I see why it was so quick. Likely reusing older food.

The beef chow mein is seriously tasty and very generous portions - still the best pancake rolls you will lay hands on - 100% recommended.

Egg fried rice had 2 specks of egg, it was literally just plain rice. Prawn toast was very soggy.

Yes the food was early..but food was awful..I had sweet & sour chicken balls with mushroom rice..it was all really greasy..left a greasy taste in my mouth..the batter on the chicken balls was overcooked & a tiny pot of sweet & sour sauce which was really sweet where u could actually taste it, & u wouldn't even know there was any sauce at all on the chicken balls 2b honest..not nearly enough sauce for eight chicken balls.Rice was also greasy.I ended up leaving most of it..which for me was unusual.It was also more expensive than previous places ive bought the same dish from..& it definitely was not worth the money.I would not use this restaurant again & would not recommend it.

Super fast, fresh and really tasty !

Worst Chinese I've ever had. Absolute waste of £30. Lemon chicken and sweet and sour sauce tasted like cleaning fluid, beef in black bean sauce just tasted of salt. Cheap hard rice. Straight in the bin. Wish I'd read the reviews first.

After 40 yrs of using master chef, time to move on. Different chef's sometimes good sometimes not so good, I have always been 5 stars but no more sorry.

Delicious food as always, arrived early and very hot. Delivery driver friendly. Only complaint is the tub was too weak for the curry sauce and it all spilt out the bottom, but that has never happened when ordering from here before.

Quicker than expected food was hot and ok

Service and delivery times were both excellent. However the food quality is poor can’t even describe how bad the ribs were , the chilli beef was chewy and dripping in a horrible watery sauce , the foo young was also shoddy and falling apart , only decent thing was the chips 2nd time but also the last time ordering from here

Absolutely gorgeous and still hot. Everyone enjoyed.

Really disappointed with quality. Spent £80 plus and didn’t even get a free bag of prawn crackers!!!!!!!! We will be sticking to our other local Chinese restaurants in future!

I had lost my appetite by the time it got to me but the food is top class

Tasty, hot food every time. Always friendly service. Our favourite Chinese Takeaway for years

Super quick delivery even for a Saturday night, Food was boiling hot & super tasty.

Very very disappointed. The food was horrific !! Tasteless watery meat dishes and burnt chow mein !! For spending £100 I was expecting a lot better !!! Well never use this restaurant again AVOID AVOID AVOID

Food was hot, but the food was not to my taste

Tasty food, good portions, great service.

The chilly beef had no beef in it and was burnt. It took one hour and 25 mins from ordering to delivering. Poor taste and will not be ordering again

Super food, tasty, hot and early. Very happy.

Lid was not properly and sauce had dropped on the other items

Always good hot food, always a friendly service. Our favourite Chinese takeaway

My chow main was burnt I did call the restaurant

The food was tasty and very good quality, with just the right amount of sauce.

Everyone was happy with their meals. I loved also how the Singapore fried rice was spicy and chili's thrown in, however the Singapore dish, smelt and tasted of old sesame oil. I do like fresh sesame oil but maybe in a chow mein 🤷 plus over £3.00 for prawn crackers 😱

You would of thought I ordered sloppy joe !!! Salt and pepper chicken was like a swamp, ribs tasteless. Arse all round

Great place always use them and recommended to friends and family !!!

The Singapore noodles were awful over cooked mush

You have to order a sweet chilli sauce pot, it is unreal. Usual awesome pancake rolls and prawn toast, best in town. Chow mein always tastes incredible but never the same like you'd get from a chain - oh, and apparently the chips are to die for.

Use to be Nr. 1 fan! Unfortunately something has changed. Butterflie prawns with huge amount of batter-oily. Satay chicken - huge, dry chunks of chicken. Sauce itself - still great! Creamy - full of flavour. Still tastes good but use to be little bit better! Still will be coming back customer but hoping to see some improvement. 😊

Not quite as nice as the last few weeks. A little dry and the meat was quite large. Still very tasty

Without doubt, the best pancake rolls in town and the rest of the menu we've tried so far is seriously tasty as well.

All sources are the same ! Hated every rib !! Worst quality I’ve ever had ! Never , never again

Excellent service, the pancake roll was a meal in itself but everything we ordered was delicious. Highly recommended.

The chow mein noodles were all mushy and clumped together, the roast pork curry was like shredded pork, and the sauce was far too thick and no mushrooms ect in the curry. The rice was extremely greasy, but wasn’t even egg ‘fried’ rice. Was boiled rice with some egg mixed in. Asked for curry sauce with the chicken balls (was an option) but received sweet and sour sauce. One of the worst Chinese takeaways I have eaten and will not re-order again from here again.

Lovely food, great service. Will order again for sure.

Rice was a bit stodgy like couscous not rice

Quality and taste of crispy seaweed got bad recently but apart from that it's delicious

Worst Special Chow mien I’ve ever had! Only good is the fast delivery!

The food was not great….. salty and burnt, chicken didn’t seem like it was fresh… it was cut into cube like shapes and had a real chewy texture. Even my bottle of coke was warm… v disappointing

Fantastic as always… salt and pepper chicken is 👌

Very very salty so much so the food couldn’t actually be eaten

Good portion sizes, Chicken balls a-bit mushy for our liking and wasn’t sure on the crispy beef.

Food was delivered on time and very hot. The order was correct and the food was lovely.

Been using this place for years and have to say I've always been very happy with the food. Rice, chow meins, crispy duck, chicken dishes, beef dishes...everything has always been fresh, hot and tasty. Delivery is also pretty quick normally as well

Food was ready to collect in 15 minutes, good quality food. One item wrong on the order (chicken with mushrooms rather than the chicken with cashew nuts we wanted) otherwise we enjoyed everything.

Everything was delicious except the rice, looked like it had been chopped into small pieces, more like cous cous! If that’s an economy please don’t do it, next time I’ll skip the rice and microwave a packet of Uncle Ben’s long grain!

Super food, high quality delivered very quickly.

Chips cold could not eat them rest of food not very hot bit of a wast of £22

Not sure sure there was any chicken in my shredded chicken with chilli. Disappointing.

Won’t be ordering again. The crispy shredded beef was chewy and the rice was mushy. Waste of money!

Good overall wasn't very nice we used to get from here a while ago found another takeaway due to the change in quality.. Thought we woukd try again tonight... But sadly the food still isn't very nice the ribs are like dog meat gravy was awful smell and taste... Portion of salt and pepper King prawns was ridiculously small. Chips tatsed like they had been microwaved and yet we pre ordered before the restaurant was open so expected to have hot fresh tasting food.. This wasn't the case.. We won't be returning.

Happy to got a early delivery, friendly driver and food was sooo delicious ❤️

Hopeless. I had to report an incorrect meal a couple of weeks back yet they did the same again. Either incompetent or don't care

It was the worst example of a so-called Chinese the meat wasn't even meat the sauce was thick and the balls....well don't even get me started!!! definitely not meat inside them, I didn't even allow the, so called meat to go down my throat I had to spit it out and 48 hours later I'm still gagging and retching worst Chinese ever!!!!!
