The Chef in Solihull

First I have used The chef had Chicken fried Rice Sweet n sour sauce. I must say it eas absolutely beautiful

As good of a Chinese takeaway you can get really. Food was delivered tasty and hot. I had special curry, king prawn fired rice, chilli ribs and mix starter. Was all very tasty, although I avoid the sweet and sour sauce as too sugary for me. I asked for extra chilli in the mains and got finely chopped red and green chilli which made it perfect for me. £32.30 bit pricey but not much more than other Chinese takeaways nearby. I think some of the negative reviews are probably unfair, alot of bitter hateful types out there having bad days. This place was better than a Chinese in b24 with 4.4 stars. And much better than a kebab shop in London with 4.8 stars that served the most awful greasy kebab ever. So I really wouldn't just go by reviews.. try for yourself!!

Cannot understand the Chinese lady who answers the phone, multiple times I have had to end it and order elsewhere. Shame as this is my regular

PLEASE ANSWER DO YOU READ YOUR REVIEWS OR DO WE NEED TO RIGHT THEM IN CHINESE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT BACK As always great food but don’t give order to Chinese as they always get it wrong hence the reason why they employ English person to answer phone once again they messed up my order if they can run a takeaway then get out They wasn’t decent enough to send me another fried rice if u want correct food do t speak to ring tong speak to English person that works there this is enjoying because there food is the best I’ve been a customer for many years don’t have a takeaway if u don’t understand what we want

Something always wrong with the order they forget stuff all the time

Food is always really good. You don't have to wait long. People are nice. A good place to purchase quality food.

Food increased in price by 11% smaller containers and king prawn chow mein only 8 prawns no option to upload pics

It used to be lovely... now not so good ..chips were hard in the middle and noodles were greasy ... Time to move on

Love this place - an old favourite of ours. Been using it on and off for years. Food is always amazing - never had a bad meal.

Best Chinese takeaway in the B34, B36, B33 and B37 areas

Order was not correct again. Took ages to get replacement after already waiting 45 minutes for incorrect order to arrive. Rest of food cold then. No apologies or anything back for their mistake. Item they sent could not be eaten due to allergies either. Previously had issue with lettuce all shredded when should be whole for luk Sung so couldn't use. Not happy with service.

No problem ordering, my first Chinese …. But wow it’s expensive. The food was pretty darn good 👍

Been ordering from here for years and it's mostly been positive. Past few times the food has gone downhill. Chips seem like they've been microwaved. Time to try somewhere else i reckon.

Been ordering from chef for some time now recently noticed the quality of the food has dropped. Chicken balls I had were hard inside and difficult to bite, more dough/greese than there is chicken. Also didn’t like that the curry sauce pot wasn’t closed properly so when the driver delivered my food everything was covered in it. Just a really bad experience and I won’t be ordering again

I ordered from this takeaway on Christmas Eve, it was ridiculously busy and so inevitably the food took longer than usual to come but the girl on the phone was brilliant and very helpful and polite. Chef should appreciate this staff member.

Fare priced take away food is nice and a good size serving. Delivery available

Took me 17 years to try well worth the wait the duck 🦆 dishes are to die for 🤗

Pretty decent as Chinese takeaway is concerned, we have been a few times and always had decent food. I recommend collecting though as a few times I’ve had to point out they’ve missed something! Would recommend overall.

Arrived and ordered in the premises. The lady on front of house processed our order and took the money. Waited 20 minutes only to be told they’d lost the order and had to start again Left with a refund, shocking customer service 😡

The chowing is mattid Dry , no soy sauce. Bland . Salt and pepper chicken greasy and bland

You get food poisoning for free

Amazes me how fast they get here and the food is allways pipping hot

Great place for take away love the beef c urry😘😘

Very good service and food, only Chinese I use now

food was uncooked i ordered chicken balls and rice and inside the chicken ball was frozen so the food is clearly left in the freezers and warmed up. i phoned them up and a chinese women answered i couldnt understand her and she was very rude. i would not eat here ever again and i would not recommend!!. there was also mold on the chicken.

food was horrible and not nice at all

Regularly use here, never had a problem. Always tastes nice.

Chinese woman is rude on the phone and in the shop too. The two english girls seem lovely except the fact they use card sometimes and then other times they don’t?

Why cash only in this day and age Tax fiddle

They forgot part of my order leaving me waiting 30 mins for them to drop the rest of to me which by then my original food went freezing cold absolutely disgusting service

Great food, it was warm when it got here. Ordered quite a big order for family and everyone liked it! English girl on phone was very helpful, gave me suggestions when i asked too.

Absolutely discussing they got my order wrong twice when I rang back 3rd time to say order still wrong they said they can’t change it the chef came on the phone who I couldn’t understand one word she were saying if I’d have had my car I’d have took it back myself an thrown it at her I’m so angry

We ordered Chinese with dishes that didn’t include pawns as myself and my children have fish/seafood allergy’s. We mixed the rice in with the chicken and mushroom curry and while eating my daughter has found a prawn. We don’t know if any of us have eating any as we wouldn’t have been checking for them.

Ordered from here last night and will definitely be the last spent 56 pound to throw it all back up the morning after food was definitely dodgy would not recommend in future will stick to wok and roll

front of house poor 🤧 never again for me.

The food itself was bang on, ordered here many times through just eat, but today I went into the store instead. The English girl behind the till was awful, when she finally lifted her head from her phone she took my order. Was very rude and abrupt. Then resumed to sit on her phone . This is the first person people see when they enter. And it shouldn't be her.

Quite nice,made a change from our normal Saturday meal.

Food is ok.. I'm allergic to mushrooms and i asked them not to put them in my food! This is the 3rd time now they've ignored that request. My food has to go into the bin because I can't be arsed to drive back to the shop as I'm hainging.. Also I've never known anyone to put cucumber in a chow mein

Won’t order Chinese from anywhere else but here, food is always great.

Got some Chinese food and took it away

Lovely food don't normally go to this Chinese but will definitely go again as this food was a lot hotter when I got it home and very tasty

A friendly black delivery driver brought my food. The food came very quick and was beautiful. I definitely order here again and recommend The Cheff to my family and friends. Great place to order food 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

The lady that answers the phone can’t speak English can’t understand a word she says order is always wrong delivery driver has his hands down his pants!! An asks to use toilet!

Worst Chinese food we've ever had, most of it went in the bin

Will not waste my time here again we ordered food @10oclock the delivery driver called @10:16 for me to go down and collect my food as I'm in a high rise block as I approach the front door of the block the driver drives away I call the woman at the shop she tells.me she sorry she will speak to the driver I called her back she said he said it's to dangerous so he has now refused to deliver our food baring in mind we are regular users of the chef the woman said she has sorted another driver for my food 11 o'clock I ring back as shops closing to be told the food was passed to same driver and he has refused I the Chinese couldn't even give a courtesy call explaining absolute disgrace

Used this place for years always quick service top food with good prices will continue to use this Chinese!

Always love the food just the Chinese lady can be a bit rudehard to get her to understand your order

Best Chinese in Castle Bromwich

The food is amazing, but the customer service is terrible I placed a £25 order they didn’t even say thank you and slammed the phone down on me.

My preferred local choice for Chinese takeaway food. Delivers locally and food is always hot. Sometimes though it can take a few attempts to get through on the phone, especially during busy times.

Food is good most of the time, but you need to check your takeout as errors are sometimes made

Waited two and a half hours food didn't show so managed too get through after 18 calls just too be told come and collect it ! Shocking won't use again .

It has taken over an hour nearly 2 I highly recommend you do not order from this place and the food tastes terrible and I had food poisoning

I used ‘The Chef’ for the very first time tonight 10th Dec 2021. Firstly the food was fantastic, the helpings were generous,the phone service was excellent with no misunderstandings, the delivery was really quick, so all in all a great experience and one that I will be repeating in the future too. Compliments to the ‘Chef’

Absolute scrap. The worst chinese that I have ever eaten. The Thai red curry was like a tin of tomato soup with a bit of pepper in it and the prawns were fowl. The chicken chow meins we're flavourless and the rice tasted old

Should have walked away when they kept me on hold for nearly 5 minutes. After that got the order wrong, and wouldn't take delivery instructions. Took over an hour as driver got lost. Paid for more than what was delivered. Food was OK nothing special.

Bad service, bad staff, had enough after going there for years. The older lady is rude and unpleasant and today I was the only person in there, couldn't get served after minutes of waiting. Lady behind counter on phone and ignoring me, walked out Never again

Ate here a few times and food was nice but ordering is a joke as the the old lady is very rude and has no manners and can’t understand English need to get rid of her.

Great food and decent portion sizes, sometimes there is a problem with the language barrier problem with the elderly Chinese ladies that take orders unfortunately

Love the Cantonese style of this place. Haven't found anywhere as good as locally.

Just a brilliant and enjoyable meal. Beef curry and fried rice. Mmmmmmm

An English lady answered the phone and straight away told me rudely to wait and left me on hold for a minute. When I was ordering she was getting very confused at what I was trying to order even though I was only ordering two curry's, two rice, some chips and some prawn crackers. The order arrived fairly quickly, but without the prawn crackers. I called the shop and explained the situation to the Chinese lady that answered which was a complete waste of time because she just kept repeating the order back and saying there was no prawn crackers ordered. I tried to tell her multiple times I want them sent to me and I'll pay for them if they were left of the order by mistake. She eventually understood what I was trying to say, told me she would get them sent out and put the phone down. Prawn crackers never arrived. Rude and incapable staff!!

The food used to be great , but I'll not be ordering from there again , very pricey for what it is , an the food is below par. Dishes come smothered in sauce , even if stated otherwise, the chickin chow main, is just noodles with a bit of chickin thrown in, shame ,

Absolutely disgusting customer service. I was told my food would be replaced as it was swimming in grease when I went to place the next order they denied it. Terrible.

I am not one to write reviews but this truly deserves it. I tried this Chinese for the first time last night after always going to golden bird. I nearly cried ( no joke ) at how nice the food was. I didn’t think I’d ever forget going to golden bird as their food is amazing but THE CHEF completely changed my mind. So full of flavour and was piping hot. We had chicken ball’s, chicken fried rice, salt n pepper chips and curry sauce. No word of a lie it’s the BEST Chinese I’ve ever had in my entire life.

if i could give zero stars i would ive just spent £30.00 on food from here and its turned up cold

Food was lovely. Shame about parking.

ordered food for the first time and it was tasteless I asked for no onions and it came full of onions put me off ordering again.

Purchased here for the first time yesterday, which included, Beef and chicken curry with fried rice, Chicken curry fried rice, and Battered chicken balls. The rice was very stodgy which spoilt the meal, the curry sauce although tasty is expensive at 1.99 for the quantity given. The only part of the meal i enjoyed was the battered chicken balls. Will be Reluctant to purchase from here again.

Great takeaways.always hot and fresh

Lovely food you won't be disappointed.

Good honest food and plenty of it

Did a phone Order last week and there is a new oldeish lady who messed my order , and when I went to collect, she did not understand me that I had made a phone order eventually got my food. Then I had a phone call from her saying my or6is ready for collection. She is very rude and dont understand or hear probably very poor customer service at moment.

Very nice chinese. By far the best in the area, food is lovely and portions are big.

Been using this place for years. Consistently great food.

I'm a curry lover. Chicken Curry not the best. But some other food ok

Good chinese. Have to always ask for onions in my curry though as it doesn't come with them in just peas. Good that you can pay over the phone with card. No problem with delivery and always friendly.

Great Foid, attentive to allergy requirements

Disgrace. Ordered a list of items,turned up for 1st delivery with incomplete order,we phoned up to get item sent out and it turned up cold for 2nd delivery. We then had the whole order together but everything was cold so we phoned up again and by the 3rd delivery it had been 2 hours since ordering in the first place. They tried to just fob us off with a discount for next delivery but it was no good for us in that moment. This is the 3rd time in a row that we have had problems with orders. Missed items regularly and even driver turning up without enough change. Expected better.

Best chinese takeaway in the area

First time there since moving here

One of the best Chinese restaurants around

Nice food fast service clean place dont stink when you go inside the place.

I wouldnt even give 1 star I ordered egg fried rice curry sauce chips and chicken chow mein 1 the egg fried rice was basically rice no egg found and stone cold 2 the chips disgusting and cold 3 the chicken chow mein was vile I wouldnt order here again even my friend who's excpecting broght the food up because of how vile the food was

After waiting over an hour for my delivery, it came and it was the wrong order

Short order ordered duck curry no onions+egg fried rice extra curry sauce got chicken curry with onions and no egg fried rice at lol too far to take back

AVOID,hey AVOID, they answered the phone pretty quick but an hour and bit later no food and no answer. AVOID don't waste your time. Should've known better after their last disaster sent us someone else order then when our order came the chicken was pink and cold !!!!

Singapour chow main is lovely. As is most of the menue just avoid the chicken satay sauce as states like its from a jar. Otherwise really good food

Use this place whenever we have takeaway delicious tasty food everytime.

We couldn't get an answer tonight when We phoned and then We decided to go in and order, when We arrived We were "greeted" by some woman with curly hair who had the worlds worst attitude! My partner asked for the Sweet Chilli Sauce (which He's ordered from here plenty of times) only to receive attitude from Her and told My partner We don't do that here, then someone else who works there pointed out that they do. We sat waiting for our food and She was trying to give Me the stare off. She has no customer service skills and it wouldn't have killed Her to wash Her hair considering the environment She is working in. So then We get home and the food was questionable at best! The chips were so dry that even a starving Seagull wouldn't have touched it and as for the stir fried vegetables, they had all this brown sticky gunk on it so I chose not to eat it in case I got sick. Won't be bothering with this place again. They need new staff who know what they're doing and better food.

Rubbish service and food No napkins for cutlery The special fried rice was swimming in gravy Waste of £6.00

1 more less customer .. nice 1 four keeping me 1.10 min with no food then told it was down as pick up what a joke never ever agen

Love this place been eatting from here for 6 years

Easily the best Chinese around. Singapore chow mein is amazing, Chicken balls with sweet & sour sauce un real 👍😁👍

Worse chinese iv ever had disgusting food just sioge

Nice food , very busy but that's a good thing as it shows that people like it here, clean takeaway shop and friendly staff.

No doubt about it, the best Chinese takeaway in the area, their salt and pepper chicken is to die for, would eat their everyday if I could.

fast reliable delivery food is always hot when delivered order is always what we asked for and the food is very tasty

Lovely curry house been using it for years

Yummy that's all I can say, food was hot, the service was quick too and good value for money.
