Oriental Chef Southgate

Best chinese restaurant ever! I always come here with my girlfriend to get the oriental house noodles as i am a regular they always know our orders in a specific way and it makes me happy that they always put love into food & work, well done to all the chefs there for making the delicious food for everyone.

Terrible. We spoke with someone on the phone in regards to prices and placing an order for collection as we was rushing. Our meals were supposed to be £6.50 each and she charged us £28 for only 3 £6.50 meals. When we had realised how much we was supposed to pay and realised we was charged extra as we paid together we called about coming to collect the remaining amount of money which she kept ending the call on me, refusing and basically told me that’s my problem and I won’t be getting the remaining amount of my money. They will attempt to charge your extra without letting you know if they feel they can get away with it. My food quality was bad. It was between hot and cold. Tasted rushed and tasty. I have never gone back since.

Once my favourite Chinese takeaway, I would regularly walk in and pick up sweet & sour chicken balls with mushroom rice......tonight no sweet & sour sauce!?! As a regular customer who actually collects in person I feel really let down.Doubtlessly a mistake , I will never visit again.

Tasty chinese takeaway. I went once for a lunch break and was very satisfied. Quick and cheap. Nice portions.

The service is quick, the food is good and the place looks fairly hygienic, I’m not a professional health inspector so take it with a grain of salt.Prices are reasonable for the location eg. 6 mini veg spring rolls are about £2.They couldn’t accept cards before but now they can, you just have to spend £10 or more.Not much else to say about it, it’s a simple fast food joint that doesn’t disappoint.

I found hair in my food, when I told them and showed them, they had the audacity to say it was my hair wow wow wow! I have reported them to environmental health! Also I’ve been reading the responses to other peoples reviews and they’re disgusting and it’s obvious they cannot accept criticism and truth! Nasty bunch of people and a disgusting unhygienic Chinese take away! I’ll wait for your pathetic response

I’m gonna be honest. This was unfortunately hands down the most dissatisfying Chinese take-away I’ve ever had & it’s annoying that it’s my local (it’s my first time having it) as it means I’ll have to order from a Chinese food place further away or forego Chinese food when looking to order in.I got chicken with cashew nuts & egg fried rice & I have to say I’m amazed that this establishment had some how managed to make FRIED rice taste bland & not worth going for again. I will say I am grateful though as I feel that I learned that it’s probably the Chinese food establishments that are exclusively take-out venues that have lower quality food unlike Chinese restaurants where you sit down and eat because I’ve had some wonderful Chinese food in restaurants in London.I could not in good conscience skip leaving an honest review knowing I paid around £12/£13 for a meal that even the most Caucasian, Icelandic, cave dwelling, salt & pepper avoiding human being would confess lacked any flavour/seasoning. It was truly that bland.I didn’t leave a 1 star review because I didn’t want anyone thinking I’m review bombing out of spite. It was just an underwhelming experience.I will say that the lady who took my order was very kind though so thumbs up for her attitude. Hopefully a venue with better tasting food hires her so the food can then mimic her energy!Hope this review helped anyone considering what their food options are!

This is our preferred Chinese takeaway and we've been coming here for many years ( did try others but still prefer this one). We always order via phone & the service has always been fantastic, food arrived within reasonable time and delivery drivers have all been great. Overall, food has been reasonably good, there has been one incident previously when a Singapore vermicelli dish did not come up to scratch ( my usual favourite in any Chinese restaurant), but it was a one off and in my next order, it was back to my expectations. My kids usually has MacDonalds whilst us adults order a Chinese, now they like the Chinese too.... which is making our takeout that more expensive :) but still i would recommend this place and it will continue to be our favourite local Chinese takeaway .

Poor quality chines dont order i was told 45 min too 1 hr 15 to arrive i had 9 people as guests and when food arrived it was cold all spilled out the tins there was noodle and sauce all in the carrier bag. I called and their solution was just return the food and get ur refund no apology no sorry will get u new food back soon. Avoid
