Probably the worst food that I've ever had. We ordered 2 boxed meals, one being sweet & sour chicken. It was delivered from Oakwood in approximately 20 minutes, which is quick to say the least. After plating up the sweet & sour and cutting into the first piece and regrettably not checking, I initally noticed the bad taste, and then that it was pink in the middle. I cut into second piece and found the same. We also ordered a pancake roll, and it was noticeabley greasy. I wasn't going any further with the 'meal' and binned it. We won't be wasting £25 again.

Salt and spicy chips decent. Good flavour with good portion size. Both curry and black pepper sauces ok. Pepper a little watery. Spicy shredded chicken awful. Far far too chewy and not pleasant, left half as got tougher as it cooled down. Prob wont go again as qq on wiltshere rd is a mile away and ten times better. Not impressed. Service was good and concise. Prep time approx 20 mins.

Has to be the best Chinese takeaway! Been using Oakwood Chef for years When you order the food it consistently arrives very hot in the containers! The sweet and sour chicken balls are absolutely perfect! Crispy and just that light grease with great texture in the chicken. Chicken chow mein is very tasty and the portions are large for the size. Hong king style pork is very delicious with the vegetables just crispy and cooked beautifully. The egg fried rice is very nice too Chicken and mushroom curry smells very appealing. Every food item is unique on its own. The ordering is fast and efficient. The staff sweet are pleasant and the convenience of the experience time and time again is always great. I really look forward each time ordering from Oakwood Chef.

Live abroad so I only have a Chinese every 6 months and tried this place for the first time tonight based on good reviews and really disappointed. Tastes the same as the supermarket "fakeaway" bags, frozen bag of supermarket onion rings, couldn't even get simple fried rice right - bland and boring. Wouldn't go here again. Takeaway prices, £50 wasted, cos now I still fancy a Chinese cos I don't feel like I've had one.

Chips seemed as if re heated as over cooked but soggy, sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style chicken pieces stuck together. Prawn toast over cooked and very greasy.

Had a takeaway last night for a party of 8. The food was delicious as always, everyone enjoyed it (and we had a lot of it!) Very friendly service/delivery. Oakwood Chef is the best Chinese takeaway around- if you haven't tried it yet you really must! 🙂

Used for the first time, excellent food will be using many more times Their pancake rolls are exceptional how they used to be in the 70's plenty of filling and not all bean sprouts like other Chinese takeaways.

The duck didn't taste well. It was probably imported duck from China. I tried roast duck in China Town in Birmingham. The skins were much crispy and meats tasted very well. I only came across good roast duck in Derby in the small village of Melbourne, A very well established old takeaway still maintained traditional Chinese cooking.

Ordered a takeaway. Arrived cold and bland. No sauce on dishes. Chow mein was just noodles and costing £6.20 rip off. Rubbish! Get a new chef!

I will give Iman Yuzo, a 10-star rating for an excellent customer service. He is genuinely warm and kind, helpful, and very polite. I personally like the place as I find it really clean, spacious and it gives me this cozy restaurant vibes. The food was freshly prepared and cooked just to the point of perfect doneness. No over-sugary, salty or over- greasy taste, just perfect! I love specifically the crispy and the chilli chicken- they are a perfect match with egg fried rice and vegetable noodles. And oh,not to mention the tasty prawn crackers and spring roll sides. The portion and the price are just about right. So next time you crave for some Chinese, I highly recommend the Oodles Derby and you will never be disappointed.

AVOID Food ordered via Ubereats. Was an hour late, tried to call numerous times for an update and no one picked up. So I'm left wondering if I'm even getting a delivery at all. When the food finally arrived, it was cold and unsatisfying. A thoroughly dissapointing experience in every way. Avoid.

driver told me he was here so i went outside, he was not there and decided to go back to the shop, i then rang the shop and was told by the owner “she couldn’t understand me and it would be there soon” 20 more minutes then went by without the food in sight so we had to then ring again! we waited 45 minutes outside in the cold just for the food to turn up stone cold

Arrived to order.older woman in apron and hat was outside door smoking. She went in In front of me.As I was about to order I noticed that she went straight back in the kitchen(in full view as open kitchen)and started working. I asked staff member taking orders why she had not washed her hands. She said she was not preparing food!!!!. She was working in food area. I have worked in catering for many years . The first think you do when you return to working in ANY area of kitchen is WASH YOUR HANDS also she had not removed her apron.. If don't even do this what else. Think needs inspection DID NOT PLACE ORDER
