"We 've just moved to the town. You and Me was closed tonight, so thought id try china chef. I so regret it. We had 2 types of chow mein, a rice dice and 2 types of chicken sweet and sour dishes. None of them tasted like they should and we threw the most of it in the bin. If we are not ill tomorrow i will be surprised. I am even more surprised that there was a queue when i walked in (usually a good sign on a sunday night). The 'chef ' who took my order was wearing a filthy apron, the place looks very tired and quite dirty and the manner of the service was quite rude. All a sign that there is little passion and a lack of pride in what they do. But my biggest compliant is that the food was simply disgusting and the worst takeaway i have ever eaten. AVOID"

Always go here rather than You and Me. Wonderful Singapore noodles, chicken balls and sesame prawn toast. Plenty of it and always hot. Thanks!

Very popular take away. Food was good quality and hot, with free prawn crackers on our £26 spend. Highly recommended over Golden Pond in Rockbeare.

We had a takeaway from China Chef whilst on holiday in the area, we had already had a takeaway from 'You and Me ' the other Chinese takeaway in Ottery but we preferred this one. The food was cooked to order whilst we waited and was fresh. The food was tasty, good quality and the portion sizes really generous. We enjoyed our takeaway.

We have always enjoyed our takeaway from here,but to night the food sent to the bin!! The plum sauce tasted of sweet and sour and all of the food was in a brown gravy.not pleasant at all. We were so disappointed having sung your praises,now nearly £30 in the bin we will not be returning...... Maybe you have changed your chef? I would not recommend you to anyone after tonight's experience and waste of money. View menu

Having done in France a professional training, eons ago, in Restaurant and Hotel trades as well as nearly twenty years in private PA/Host and customer service plus commerce, 12 years of it in the USA, I know about judging if a business or ommerce is good to very good or not. China Chef has been doing their foods since 1982 and it is THE BEST value/quality I have seen in Devon! A 10 on my coolometer and it goes up to...10! Merci China Chef!

I’ve had some bad Chinese food in my life but this somehow has managed to top it. Went in to order, the person who took the order was rude and zero knowledge of customer service. The chicken was foul and everything was soggy. And on top of that we had to wait 45 minutes for the order to be done. Even tho we ordered for 2 people. Oh and it’s very over priced for terrible quality food. Will definitely not be going back there, even if it was the only Chinese available !

"We had two dinners and breakfast from this restaurant because we stayed in the Home Farm Hotel. We wanted to have the dinner and breakfast during our stay, but had to cancel our plans due to VERY POOR customer service received from Richard and also...because of his wife's cooking due to overcooked and burned full cook breakfast we received from the restaurant. Day 1, Richard introduced his wife to us, but she totally ignored us and in addition, she did not even bother to acknowledged and smiled with us. She seems to be very upset or very distance from everything or stressed/fed up about something at the time. Not sure this was due to over working… Day 1, Richard requested us to come down stairs for the dinner at 18:00, but instead of taking us to the restaurant for dinner, he tried his best to hard sell the alcohols he had in the bar to us and also to all the other guests. This happened even after we told him several times that we only want the meal and no alcohol from his bar. After about two hours, I had to tell him that I’m a diabetic and heart patient therefore I do really want to eat the meal and have a rest. He gave us the menu and I asked for lamb which was on the menu and he went crazy and said to us that they do not provide English food in this restaurant. I showed him what was on the menu, but he did not even apologise to us. He said lamb run out and asked us to select something else from the menu, again we selected duck, but that was run out as well!!! By then, Richard was sarcastic and rude to us as well as to other guests… In the end, we asked what we can have for our dinner. He almost shouted at us saying he and his wife only there to run the hotel without any staff therefore, we have to eat whatever his wife can cook!!! Finally, at about 21:00, we managed to have our dinner and I asked Richard to cancel our breakfast and dinner booking for the rest of the days however, he said we have to take the breakfast for next day because it was too late to cancel it. Next morning (Day 2), we were near the restaurant since 08:00 as Richard requested but as usual, past 09:00 we received burnt and overcooked full breakfast for two of us. They had a very large menu but it seems like most of the food either his wife did not know how to cook or had run out. Richard charged full price for our meals, BUT he FORGOT to provide the good quality food and services to the customers…"
