The food was completely vile I am gutted to say . Having just moved to west byfleet I was looking forward to trying the local Chinese restaurant, however I was completely disappointed. Not only was my order missing half the items , meaning I had to go back , but the chicken balls were full of grease and tasted like fish , the rice tasted days old , the noodles were dry and tasteless and the seaweed just tasted off. All round disgusting. Girl behind the counter was polite though .

Please take this as a negative to a positive . The shop looks really unhygienic the windows look dirty the poor gold fish stuck in a tiny tank just makes me walk past. Nothing makes me want to think 🤔 Yum that looks a clean and tidy chinese take away. The food is swimming in grease I’m sorry to say New paint New signs Tidy up 🧹 You would triple your business I look forward to seeing some changes All the best Your free Business Guide

Really great food and really friendly customer service. Even threw in a free pack of prawn crackers which were delicious. Spring rolls a little too greasy but overall a lovely meal I would buy again :)

Ordered our food online and it took 1.30 hours to arrive. We had to nuke all the dishes but I have to say the food was the best I've ever tasted! Will order and collect in future.

Used before and used to be good. Vegetables in dishes were brown, 3 cashew nuts in the chicken and cashew nuts dish. Not a great meal.

Not a great experience collecting this order , food was cold and bland ,special fried rice wasn't fried just boiled rice with some meat and vegetables chucked on top .... And to top it all off i paid online and payment was pending out of my account ... But they wouldn't accept this as proof and so we had to pay again in person , honestly wish we hadn't bothered ...

We use this restaurant on a regular basis and have only had one problem a while ago but we ordered a whole crispy duck which was inedible. We paid £40 for it. It was dry and there was no crispy skin at all. Pancakes were so thin that they burst when you ate them. Not very impressed and we left most of it. The dog is having a good feast today. I think we’ll leave using them for a while, hopefully they’ll be better when we go back.

Used to be good, but gone way downhill. Dreadful service. I ordered a delivery last Saturday and after it was 20 minutes late I rang to check. Was told it was on the way, waited another 15 minutes and was told it had "just left". After 1 hour I called and asked to cancel the order and refund me. They put the phone down on me. Called back and asked why and was told I had shouted (I had not). Said I would have to speak to the manager about a refund so I asked him to be put on, Didn't happen. Still got charged and had to raise a dispute with credit card provider. Disgraceful, sadly I won't use them again.

Don’t waste your time. Ordered take away, didn’t arrive. Called to check, said it was busy and they are sorry but will arrive in 15 minutes. Called again 30 minutes later, told its about to start being cooked! Very poor. Ended up asking for refund as person phone so rude! Poor service and no food! Avoid.

Absolutely disgraceful. First order arrived ten minutes early. Today, it's over an hour late. I've called twice and been lied to, apparently food was being cooked 45 minutes ago and now fifteen minutes ago it's just going out for delivery now? Being busy is understandable, lying through your teeth is not. Just turned up an hour and fifteen minutes late and there's NO sweet and sour sauce. >:( Gutted However, now I've eaten... It's absolutely delicious, some of the nicest Chinese I've had. My compliments to the chef :)

We have been using this Chinese every Saturday for about four years, and have always been satisfied. If there are any problems with cold dishes, or wrong items delivered, they replace or refund without arguement. Highly recommend Royal Chef of West Byfleet.

Had a takeaway from here, last Friday. Enjoyed it enormously. The mixed sweet & sour balls were really yummy & non-greasy. Egg Foo Young was just as I had requested it - properly cooked from inside as well. Yudon noodles & spring rolls were fresh crispy & really yummy. Service was a bit slow but the young man apologised & explained that they were really busy. Will definitely order from here again.

Good food, has the sort of taste it should. I live in Byfleet and the Chinese takeaways are very poor. in comparison. The specific things I like about this takeaway are no cheap broken rice used, good quality meat and prawns in the 2 special fried rice dishes. Service is fast, food tastes fresh....reminiscent of how good many Chinese takeaways used to be. I no longer use any Chinese takaways in Byfleet and prefer to travel the extra 2 miles to the Royal Chef

We’ve had absolutely the best Fish and Chips restaurant experience here. We were invited here by someone who has been coming to this establishment for 30 years, and Rock Salmon was recommended and ordered by everyone in our party. It was the most delicious fried fish, a huge portion, and apart from one thick bone that had to be removed from the middle, there were no other bones, amazing! No wonder the Rock Salmon was sold out after one hour from opening. The restaurant section is very nicely decorated and clean, white table cloths on tables, small bar area is at the back. I would’ve given five stars for this review, but I had to take one star off for a 30 minute wait for our drinks while the gentleman/ owner ? was having a lively conversation with a couple of friends at the bar. We were the only people that arrived at the restaurant at opening time and he led us to the table, then proceeded to ignore us. After finally taking our order, the pace picked up, we did not have to wait too long for our meal to arrive and every single item was fresh and absolutely delicious. There is a takeout section next to this restaurant, and it was incredibly busy with a line of people out on the sidewalk waiting to get their hands on the delicious fish. I am looking forward to visiting again, because I’ve never seen the Rock Salmon anywhere else on the menu, but I hope the service will improve.

From start to finish, the experience and service received from Carl and his team was amazing. After phoning to ask a couple of questions a couple of weeks before, I was put in touch with Carl via email, and he was so responsive and accommodating. We had a medium party of 12-15 people, and were spending the evening celebrating our joint stag/hen do after a day of activities. I dropped off some decorations earlier in the day, and they were kind enough to allocate us a whole area for our party which was in a great position with plenty of space, and even put up our decorations for us! We were all starving, so had some food, which was delivered promptly and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. 2 for 1 cocktails all night was a brilliant bonus, and everyone was so happy with every drink they had. The team were all so welcoming and lovely, and it was a great atmosphere throughout the night. We can't thank Carl and the whole team (I'm really sorry to not have got everyone's names!) enough for ensuring a special night that we won't forget. I'm sure we'll definitely be back. Thanks again!

I had noodles and they were pretty good. The service was efficient and the food arrived quickly. Only downside was a poor selection of drinks.
