Loved the experience. Service with a smile. Lovely ambience. The food was excellent and definitely value for money. Looking forward to visiting again. Good for a family day out or date.
Excellent Chinese/ Asian restaurant on Crouch St in Colchester. Elegantly stylish this contemporary restaurant has excellent service and food. Would highly recommend and I shall be visiting again. (But don't tell everyone you know, we still want to be able to book a table!)
A privilege to come back to Colchester and experience one of the best run restaurants in Britain. The food of course is also top notch.
Delicious and enjoyed a lovely vegan dinner- would be nice to have a specific vegan menu given out though as it was quite hard to figure out what was vegan. My friend is gluten free and said it was a fantastic menu for her.
What a lovely restaurant. The service is friendly, a warm welcome and free cloak room service. I had doubts add to whether the children would eat much, however they certainly had their fill.
The food, reasonably priced, is delicious. We had squid (not too spicy at all) which was so tender, not all chewy, as well as capital ribs. They were tasty and sweet. We also had duck, which was shredded at the table side - a nice touch.
For our main, the rice was excellent - zero clumping, the noodles tasty and the chicken balls... oh my. The batter melts in your mouth.
Certainly deserves the reputation it has - week done!
It’s the best Chinese you can get in Colchester, usually , o got many disappointments with Chinese in Colchester, delicious food genuine staff
Other Chinese restaurants should bow their heads. Hard to get a table as so popular and quite right to. Lots of attentive staff. Food comes out rapidly and is of the absolute top quality. Not a humble Chinese
Great food and for a coeliac, would recommend as I am and ordered of the gluten free menu, had no problem. They knew and understood coeliac and I had no problem with the food. Was great to have. Very nice food and nice staff. Will be having again. Thanks for doing gluten free, as coeliac isn't a choice ✊🏻
Got a Gluten free takeaway here last Friday for my sister who is coeliac. The selection was great, with all the takeaway favourites available and more.
So glad to be able to enjoy a Chinese without getting sick a few hours later.
The food was fresh, hot, and very tasty I will certainly be returning in the near future.
Preordering at least a meal time before your takeaway is appreciated by the staff.
Excellent service. Good for gluten free. Highly recommended.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at China Chef, a Chinese restaurant that exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with traditional decor and soft lighting setting the mood for a relaxing meal.
Upon being seated, we were greeted by our friendly server who promptly took our order. The menu had a wide variety of dishes to choose from, with something for everyone. We decided to start with an appetizer and were not disappointed.
For our main course, we selected a few dishes that were cooked to perfection. The flavors were bold and delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.
Overall, our dining experience at China Chef was exceptional. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a tasty and authentic Chinese meal
We hadn't booked a table but they quickly accommodated us and the food and service was excellent well worth going
We had a lunch meal for 9, based on set meal C. The food was well cooked and promptly served by very pleasant staff. The restaurant was nearly empty and started off quire cold but warmed up as we ate. All told a very good time but not as ground-breaking a menu as when we first ate there (in the 90's?)
A classy Chinese restaurant run by an experienced team.
Food served here are delicious and the standard are excellent.
Like the ambiance of the place and service is good too.
Highly recommended and will visit again.
Perfect little Chinese restaurant, good and fast service and great food.
We have moved out of the area in the last year and China Chef is definitely one of the things we miss the most. Six of us enjoyed a ‘reunion’ dinner and the food was memorable; best it has ever been. As always, the staff were welcoming and attentive. This really is a first class Chinese restaurant, Colchester is lucky to have it.
