Top Chef in Nottingham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I have used this same only chinese for the last 11 years to find that now I am no longer able to order via phone and pay by card, the only way is to be forced to pay £8 more than the total of my order by ordering off just eat or uber. so disappointed I have to find another place

We have been a customer of Top Chef since my Partner moved to Notts 9 years ago. Never had a cause to complain. However, since Christmas '23, it has been nothing but disappointment. I will never order from here again. Food started being delivered 2 - 3 hours after we had been given a time. They don't answer their phones when I try to call, the food has become average, and for two nights running now we have ordered, money was taken from us but the order was cancelled very soon after being accepted. Leaving us out of pocket until a refund was processed. It's bad practice and it seems they wouldn't know customer service if it slapped them across the face! Very poor!, very disappointed!!

woman taking order is just rude talks to her customers like rubbish I'l no longer eat here due to her ignorance. Customer service is not even half a star

Old established Chinese away from city centre close to motorpoint arena

I was a student in Nottingham for 6 years and this was the BEST CHINESE TAKEAWAY EVER. I’ve moved back to Wales and my friends have moved back to London and we all agree we have not found a better Chinese since. I now refuse to eat any Chinese takeaway. Me and my friends have booked a hotel in Nottingham for one night just to eat Top Chef. It’s amazing we love it and talk about it all of the time and miss it so so so so much.

Don’t recommend it at all. We ordered on Uber eats, they accept the order and when we was meant to collect it, the woman that works there cancelled it. As we was already there waiting for our food at the place we asked if there was a mistake and she very rudely replied: Yes, I just cancelled. What a waste of time and how disrespectful to be treated this way.

I have been eating from this fine takeaway for years. I love their authentic cuisine... They are competively priced... Always greeted with a smile... I don't eat Chinese from anywhere else!!!

FOOD NEVER ARRIVED, I tried to call 17 times (literally) and it was busy all the time. Trying to get my money back

Not very nice people the women behind the counter who served me was very rude and disgusting when i asked her to stop coughing over my food it's a horrible disgusting place and they do not even have the proper clothing they should be wearing in a kitchen how they get away with it god knows.

Very rude disgusting lady not sure if she was Chinese or wherever she was from I called to ask if there was gluten in her chips I was going to order for someone that has food allergies all she needed to do was check since she gets it frozen in a very rude way told me to order from somewhere else She needs to learn how to speak to people No customer service whatsoever Customers are paying your bills

It one of the best Chinese take away that i had at Nottingham. Love it.

Ordered on UberEats but the service was amazing so just wanted to thank the staff at TopChef. Ordered the wontons but asked for them to be swapped for plain noodles if they contained seafood and not only did they kindly do the swap, but they also gave a free coke due to the price difference! Food was piping hot and really good too.

Probably the best Chinese takeaway in central Nottingham. Service verging on rude but hey, food's great so I don't care😎

I ordered a meal to be delivered from Top Chef in Sneinton, after 1hour 25mins my food had not arrived so I rang to find out it's whereabouts, the phone rang for a while then I was cut off ?? Needless to say my meal never arrived so I will never order any food from Top Chef again absolutely pathetic service.

Avoid going this place there Disgusting behaviour avoid using them women on the till is discuss me no bloody manner I don’t even want to rate them one star

First time trying and superb food, amazing taste and generous portions. Looking forward to ordering again soon!

Rude, won’t answer the phone and if you complain you are banned from using them again. Avoid

Lovely food but disgusting behaviour. Terrible, terrible customer service. The owner is extremely rude over the phone and in person. Their driver is very, very slow. Most orders are 2-3 hours late with no offer of apology. Once a loyal customer, we will never be ordering from here again because you simply do not care about your customers.

Order should’ve been here 50 mins ago, rang when it was ten mins late and was told it would be with us within 10 mins… still not here. Don’t order with these jokers

Average food, rude service and 8 times out of 10 food is late even if I choose to pick up. Avoid and choose somewhere else.

Very bad no food till 9 30pm very bad order like 6 pm

Food took 3 hours to get after ordering. Placed a delivery but had to get it as 2.5 hours after ordering and saying it's on its on its way it clearly wasn't. Took phone off the hook . Missing items and food was not great.

Slow service order food to collect told 30 min still waiting 20 min later not even correct what I order

Food now 42 minutes late - not happy!!

**AVOID IF WANT FOOD** TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! What a shambles of a place. I used to rate this place but it has gone down hill massively. They have always been terrible at delivering within an hour and half but the food used to be nice so it made up for it. The last time i ordered, it wasn't its usual standard but thought it was just a one off. However, i thought i would try again and attempt to order. Called them at 6.15 with and 1h 15min delivery time. That was 2 and half hours ago and now they dont even pick up the phone. Prob done myself a favour. Dont waste your time with this hole.

One of the much more affordable chinese takeaways near the centre and now after several orders is my go-to. I’ve almost always been satisfied, the chicken satay is amazing and a must-have. There are unfortunately a few misses on the menu though - I would not recommend here for sweet and sour fans but otherwise it’s cheap and cheerful :)

It's well nice food fast delivery to best in Notts

Really good food. But they stopped delivering to town, even though my appartment is a 5 min walk away. Shame! Goodbye top chef 😭😪

Really nice Chinese food, great vegetarian options too Taste nice and not full of grease I've experiance elsewhere

Absolutely disgusting chow main tasted of fish chips was not cooked chicken balls was so small and full of dough curry sauce was powdery the only half decent thing was the prawn crackers and most if them was hard used to be a nice Chinese dont no what happend to it

Been ordering from here for years. They've always bought me the right order and top quality food. They have the best bean curd in satay sauce skewers. The satay sauce is high quality and thick consistency unlike some other Chinese takeaways I've had that watered it down. Lovely staff & delivery drivers. Great vegan options & decent prices.

A really good Chinese restaurant / Takeaway. Delivery only at the moment, however, fast delivery if you order on-line. Food is excellent and pipping hot when it arrives. Offers free prawn crackers when spending £10 or more!

Food OK plates were cold latte good

Great food. Prompt delivery and reasonable price

The best Chinese meals I've had.

More than 2 and a half hours for delivery and unable to contact restaurant directly as says user busy when try to call

Finally a decent Chinese takeaway. Kudos on the clean king prawns and portion sizes. You legend, will defo be coming back

Always have a lovely takeaway Chinese from here very tasty

Very nice people food was cooked right and great although they took 45mins to make and deliver it was totally worth it I recommend this place highly

Best Chinese food in Nottingham

Amazing food and Customer service was awesome, I changed my order by phoning them after ordering from Just Eat, really lovely lady i spoke too. Nothing was to much trouble and I have to really say, Best Chinese in the city. Make sure you eat here. Thank you for a really good meal xx

was told 1 hour 15 mins for delivery but took 2 hours and 20 minutes to eventually arrive,,, and was also lied to when u rang up to chase my order,,, she said be with me in 15 minutes maximum,,, but took 50 minutes to turn up,,, IME NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE SERVICE,,,

Lovely food, couldn't recommend enough used for years and ate from most. Chicken satay best in Nottingham.

Used this place for about 15 years but have just been treated so rudely on the phone, never again. Was told they don't deliver to my postcode and before I got chance to say "never mind, I'll collect" the lady hung up on me. Rang back to explain and just got " OK, what do you want". Perhaps sorry would have been more appropriate?

The Chinese lady is so rude! I made an order and tried to sit down to eat, she kicked me out! Lol saying this is supposed to be take away! And they had seats 6 seats, all empty lol what's the point of ordering from here if you can't even eat anything inside when its freezing outside! They shouldn't be selling food, food comes with hospitality!!!

La comida no tiene sabor, pedí chips de sal y pimienta, enviaron chips con masa, así es como se hacen los chips de sal y pimienta chinos. Llamé y le pregunté a la mujer sobre los chips. contundente y hablar sobre mí no volverá a visitar de nuevo

One of the best Chinese I've had

Used to go to Top Chef for years. Its Sweet & Sour Chicken HK-style was excellent, lemon chicken also. Chicken or beef with green peppers & black bean sauce sometimes outstanding - can taste the fresh ingredients in it.

Poor customer service on the phone and couldn't answer any queries I had and then hung up I wrang back and she hung up again really rude

Flop chef one of the worse I’ve experienced!!! The chefs need to be whipped!!!

Overall just alright. Wouldn't reccomend to others, however it was alright for just a night in.

Always happy when I order from here, I personally think it’s the best Chinese in Notts. Food always piping hot and full of flavour

70 minutes late, food cold when received

As always, the food was great. But it was delivered 90 minutes later than it should have been with no communication from them. Took me more than an hour to get through to the restaurant. I respect the business could have been busy, however if there was any kind of delay, a phone call would have been appreciated

First time ordering from here but will definitely be ordering again! Food was lovely and arrived early! Very reasonably priced with lots of options and variety for non meat eating customers! vegetarian mock duck pancakes were the best I’ve had!

Very poor, food came late. The lack of customer service the staff offer is poor. The excuse for the food being late was “its raining”

Food 39 mins late and driver took 15 mins to find my address food had to be sent back as it would have been cold and soggy . Very bad service shocking !

The food was early, hot and very tasty. Service was OK, except I had to go out and meet the driver who was afraid to walk down the path to my house!

Hit the spot on my night shift will definitely order again

the 'creamy' Thai green curry was seasoned water with chunks of veg and boiled chicken. It's wasn't creamy. It was disappointing. Would NEVER order this. Singapore fried rice was better. Enjoyed it.

Spent over £7 on a shredded quarter duck, only to receive a duck breast cut in to cubes and the container wasn't even half way full!! Shocking. Will NOT be ordering from there again.

It was perfect, and great value for money.

Driver spot on delivery spot on food spot on

Food was lovely but salt and pepper chicken was very dry and was half the usual portion (tub was barely half full) so quite unimpressed.

not too bad food hit and miss sometimes really salty better one on carlron rd.

Delivered about 15 minutes after we ordered which makes you wonder if it's freshly cooked. Egg fried rice had no egg in it and the crispy aromatic duck was tiny rock hard pieces of meat that tasted of nothing. Salt and pepper chicken wings were all batter with dry shrivelled chicken and the bones we're dark brown almost black. Absolutely disgusting will definitely not be ordering from here again and would strongly recommend others don't if they actually want decent food

The chicken satay was great and everything was hot and tasted great

Really good food and fast delivery.

Very bland no flavour, just seems like really cheap frozen food

Great for veggies! Delivered early - even in the snow.

Ordered egg fried rice, received boiled white rice. Unacceptable

The food tasted nice, but the chicken fried rice was only luke warm. had to heat in the microwave.

Good value for money, although not as good as the previous meal it was still tasty.

Seafood starter was a little disappointing but main dishes were very tasty. Would order again.

Order elsewhere. We used to be loyal customers but have been treated very poorly.

Tasty, good portion sizes, food arrived on time.

Not delivered. Restaurant not answering phone

Really great food and great delivery. Thank you very much

Took over 2 hours to deliver, despite being advised it would take 45 minutes to an hour. Disappointed with the attitude when I rang in, nothing was done about it. Not even an apology.

Delivered early, all hot and delicious food. Would order again

Lovely food prepared very quickly.

not sure what I was expecting to be fair... rubbery prawns and shrimps. wasn't pleasant. bog standard takeaway food.

Food delivered to apartment door on time. Great service in that respect! Food was average. Didn’t specify that the salt and pepper chips were actually deep fried. They we too sickly because of the batter. The portion of crispy chilli beef was tiny aswell and not much sauce so quite dry.

this is my only go to place for fantastic Chinese food, never let down 5***

Food cold. Driver sat outside and phoned us and I had to go out and fetch my meal. First bad meal from this place

Nasty service, I think they forgot word "polite" Food was tasty but who serves curry without rice? We had to cook rice so we could eat out curry. I wouldn't order here again

Good food that arrived warm, took over an hour after ordering to arrive but it was the predicted time. Good price!

really good just didn’t get a fortune cookie

Everything was spot on tonight. Satay chicken was particularly good

Food arrived half hour early when I wasn’t ready for it and the sweet and sour sauce should be over the rice as well not just the chips. Food quality was nice though but rude delivery driver for something that was the restaurants fault

when I pay for delivery I expect it to be to the door not to get a call from the street asking me to come out. unbelievable!

really enjoyed my food will definitely order again, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Top food, grilled dumplings are the best...all food very good and great service. Easily one of if not the best Chinese delivery in Nottingham...

Normally good quality but was awful tonight will be finding a new Chinese.

Chips were like oven chips and dried up. Greasy food.

great food as usual, just very late. just eat Confirmed we'd received when it hadn't been delivered and wasn't for another 45 minutes!

Food was a bit late - but to be fair we had preordered so were probably one of the first of the evening. Food was nice - as expected, and there was plenty of it

Arrived earlier than predicted time which was great, delivery driver was polite. Food was very good, will definitely be ordering again

This was the worse place I have ordered from. I ordered duck and got no pancakes with it. Time they got back here it was a waste of time and money

we had to call they said they were busy, a courtesy call would have been nice. Food Ordered 20.40pm food arrived 22.10pm
