Peking Chef in Vale of White Horse

I'm besides myself with anger. I've been vegetarian for over 35 years. On ethics. I ordered sweet and sour king prawns and chips. I drove 7 miles home. I started to eat and its pork!!! I'm more than mortified!!!! So they suggest I drive back right now.... seriously? I've just thrown up! Beware if you've a peanut allergy obviously something is going seriously wrong there!

I am absolutely and utterly discusted. I'm beyond that to tell the truth. I asked for sweet and sour king prawns and chips. I drove 7 miles to get there and 7 back. I started to eat what I thought was a prawn sweet and sour ball and its pork!!!!! I'm a vegetarian and haven't eaten meat for over 35 years. They want me to drive back there now! I said I can Sunday as soo very out of my way. I have literally just thrown up!

This was the best Chinese food I've ever had. Thank you. I'm definitely coming back.

Never will I use here again, always used pancook house for a change I tried here! Salty, chewy disgusting food.

Really good food can’t fault them

Got a take away meal for the first time from Peking Chef yesterday. I was impressed. The food was good quality & tasted great. I would recommend.

Scanty vegetarian options. Its not compulsory to have a full veggie menu of course, but a Chinese take away with no tofu dishes at all stands out. There's one cashew nut dish. Otherwise it's mushroom or mixed veg. And it is phenomenally bland. Hungry and wanting more food after eating some, but not really fancying eating what's left and wondering what I can get together out of the fridge, spoiling the whole point of a takeaway. Folk pleasant, great service, food is a fail.

First time I bought a Chicken Curry from and must say it was hot tasty and plenty of it. Would use it again.

The salt and pepper chicken wings was awesome

Great food . Probably best takeaway of this type in the Grove area 👌 Recommended . Closed on Tuesdays ...

Was worried as the time before the food was awful. We decided to give them a second chance, they had new cooks and the food was great.

Our choice of Chinese for the Wantage/Abingdon area

Good food and great service even when busy

Good quality British Chinese. No fatty bits, no claggyness, not greasy at all. Tasty

We order from here whenever we fancy a Chinese take out, the food is always fresh & really tasty, the staff are lovely and there is parking both outside the shop and in the shopping precinct around the corner near grove shops. Highly recommend!

Gone down hill recently. Special fried rice was dry with very little meat, veg in it. Generally food seems bland and is not consistent. Singapore noodles can be very hot or very mild even without asking to be tweaked either way. Will Persevere as nothing else walkable!

Order meals for nine people tonight and everyone was impressed with quality and taste thank you

Yummy. Great quality food. Highly recommended

Treated ourselves to a Chinese from here last night, not cheap which is expected but the food was dreadful way too salty - most of it had to go in the bin. Sorry won't bother again...

Everything bar chicken was ok. The chicken chow mein was pink and the salt and pepper pieces too…

Good takeaway, fast service and food very tasty. Reasonably priced too.

So many Chinese take-aways have massive long menus, but don't delivery very good food. Peking Chef has a smaller choice but all the things we tried were above average!

Dishes are generally OK. Avoid crispy chilli beef as it is dire. Used to be really good and probably the best in Grove / Wantage, that is no longer the case and others are nice and will deliver

Nice little Chinese takeaway, although the sweet n sour chicken balls are a little on the small size compared to other takeouts. The food is great. Highly recommended

Recently moved to the area and thought I wouldn’t find a take away place as good as my previous. Boy was i wrong!! Every time I visit it’s a pleasure always greeted as soon as you enter and always reads your order back before leaving to make sure they haven’t missed anything off. Highly recommend if you haven’t already tried!!

Best chinese takeaway in wantage.

lovely friendly people, good service and a great menu to choose from, a regular place to get a takeaway for the locals and popular too, try it and see.

Where was the flavour? Chicken chow mein had practically boiled chicken on top. Kung-fu po chicken has 0 flavour/spice. Not good and very expensive for very bland food.

Good little local Chinese. No deliveries, but the food is prepared very quickly. Great food and helpful staff however their prices have been creeping up. I will probably always come here but probably a bit less due to how much the prices have increased by. As an example we have always got the same food from there (give or take) but the price now for the two of us is nearly £40 (obviously have some leftovers) but this used to be under £30 when we moved here. Don't let the prices deter you! The staff are great and the food is fantastic!!

Had a few different meals and every one was a winner. Highly recommended.

Fab food lovely staff. was friendly atmosphere for takeaway. Service was good, and prices too. Would recommend every time.

Always friendly and welcoming. The food is great and you never have to wait long. I would highly recommend Peking Chef

Been going here since I was a little lad ,not changed abit food is great

Best takeaway I've had in a long time

Good food, socially distanced protocols in place.

Low grade Takeaway 3 out of 10. Probably the worst takeaway I have had. Soggy noodles, greasy meat and not very tasty, I guess there is not much choice for Chinese in Grove so quality lacks as no much compilation.

Have used a few times since moving just over a year ago and never been disappointed , have always phoned ahead and always on time. Can't fault.

Avoid me and my partner have food poisoning !! I am not going there anymore

Twice now our order has not been correct and twice the owner has refused to accept the mistake was theirs. Following a polite phone call to notify the owner of the missing/incorrect items, expecting the mistake to be easily rectified, the owner was very rude and totally unhelpful on both occasions. Perhaps it may be that they are having just a "bad day" when they treat their customers disrespectfully on one occasions. But, when it happens twice, it would appear this is probably the owners normal reaction to having their mistake pointed out. We have only ordered from this takeaway because it is the nearest. However, from now on we will be ordering from, arguably the better takeaway, a mile away. This is certainly a takeaway to avoid for both bad service and occasionally poor quality.

Like a Chinese version of Fawlty Towers. Returned inedible beef, phoned in advance to explain the issue was told to bring it back for exchange . When Once I handed the food back, the lady inspected it and accused me of having "eaten most of it". Then almost like a scene straight from Faulty Towers she began digging into it and counting pieces of meat. Eventually handed over my replacement meal after some huffing and puffing. I've been coming here over the past year as my port of call for Chinese food in the area for a year. I've never had an issue with the food before, and service has always been good. However, when something goes wrong, it speaks volumes how they respond and fix the problem. I understand that meat is a natural problems and sometimes there will be quality issues. If this had been dealt with graciously, I'd have remained a customer. But I draw the line firmly when I am accused of fraud. Atrocious attitude. Never again.

The food was delicious and hot. It was ready for collection in 15 minutes. Good quality at a reasonable price

Best chinese around! Their peanut sauce is divine. The only place we will go for a Chinese takeaway.

Fantastic Meal. Friendly fast service.

Very tasty food at reasonable price

Love their food and their service

Pleased with the food - tasted good and would come back! Would give 5 stars if meat was a little better quality however certainly would return!

Super short waiting time for the food. Tasted good. Staff friendly. Great to find a decent Chinese takeaway nearby.

Fantastic Chinese, one of the best around

We have recently moved into the area and thought we would try this Chinese takeaway. The food was delicious and the staff really friendly. We will definitely be going back for more!!

Food was hot and tasted ok. Good for a quick meal

Best Chinese is the whole of Oxford. And I've pretty much tried all of them cos I bloody love Chinese

Our saviour when we ran out of dishes ideas.

Recently changed owners, bought in all new chefs. The old owners were great, been going there for 20 years and never had a problem but since the new owners took over, my partner got food poisoning both times he's been there. Would not recommend.

Ordered food and told it would take 10 minutes. Arrived and confirmed name and order details. 30 minutes later still no food. Asked the young lady who could hardly be bothered to find out never mind apologise or smile. Gone down hill terribly so will never go there again.

Never had a bad meal, i always go to this chinese

Crispy chilli beef and king prawn chow mein to be recommended

dankest egg fried rice in Oxfordshire

Amazing food and service A+++++

Best Chinese around Wantage area! Great, consistent food.

Never had a bad meal from here, standard is always high.

Great priced Chinese take away, food is always tasty and service is typically quick. You can phone your order ahead and pay on collection which helps eliminate waiting.

I recently came across this place after moving locally and I absolutely love it! The service is fast with friendly counter girls and delicious food, I can’t wait to order from there again!!

Brilliant Value for Money ! Excellent Food !

Good Chinese, had, pork satay, came with piece of pineapple. Was good and good portions.

After 15 years of being the best Chinese around. I had a missing dish swore blind that it was there. It wasn't!!! The point is the rudeness this would of never happened before with previous owners. Avoid..... there are plenty of others out there

Food was average but could do with more beef in the beef chow mein. My main complaint is the rudeness of the staff - and looking at the previous review it seems I'm not alone. There was no need for the bluntness of this young girl's answers and she could definitely benefit from risking a smile, a 'please' or even a 'thank you'.

Great food good prices and very friendly

Very good menu and quick service

Good food from the Peking chef as always.

3rd time here in 10 days. 1st time NP, very nice. 2nd time. I wanted the same dish, only card with me, £8.50 under £10 can't use card, walked out. 3rd time I had cash, dish was VERY salty. 1 out of 3. probably will not use again.

Salt and pepper chicken pieces are amazing

Very good food and not expensive

Always great food when we have a take-away from here. Large variety, including some vegetarian options.

Basically this and the Indian restaurant are the two good takeaway options in Grove. Small shopfront with only parking for three cars max (although most evenings there's two more spots at the hairdressers next door). More parking is available at the shops a couple of minutes walk away. Food is good, and the choice reasonable. Can be very busy on the normal times like a Saturday evening so worth calling up beforehand to order rather than simply turning up.

Always quick service and great food

Wrong location.... 51.609099, -1. (+51° 36' 32.76", -1° 25' 19.05") is the correct location for the Peking Chef Takeaway. Damn fine food as well. The Peking Chef Special Fried Rice is a bargain bundle of three different types of meat, King Prawns, mixed veg all in a lovely gravy along with a portion of Egg fried rice. The Singapore Rice Noodle is heavenly as well, especially with a couple of extra chillis added to pep it right up.
