I moved down to Surrey July last year, from London! I say this as in all my 40+ years of living there, I've never had such consistent and tasty chinese food as this restaurant! Always hot, always tasty, never greasy and always get a large free bag of prawn crackers too! 10/10!!Vegetarian options: The veggie noodle are always packed with fresh vegetables. And the other options are always on point too!

I use this place every time I visit Ottery, I come from rugby which has many many Chinese takeaways and I wish even one of them was half a good as this one.

Used to eat here in 1998 during school, would get the "China Chef Special" and it was amazing but I didn't see it anymore, used to sit and watch Jerry Springer while eating before heading to class, Went back recently and was super

Fresh?(previous review) Fresh grease… opened bag grease sat of bottom of bag. Opened first thing and seen black hair straight away. Completely off putting. Luckily live local so returned and all he did was apologise I requested a refund. No hygiene standards

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!
Really tasty fresh food. Not greasy and polite, fast service.

We ordered Mongolian lamb and it was inedible...no vegetables as advertised, just a tub of salty fat, absolutely horrible! We won't return to this place.

This was one of the worse meals I have had in several years, parts were still raw like the batter on the chicken pieces for the sweet and sour. The sweet and sour source was like very runny water with little taste. The egg fried rice was so stoggie it had no taste and lumpy. The mushroom and chicken was I cold just as if the hot mushrooms had been added to cold chicken and a stock which I could not identify.Will I return for another take away, no.

Tasteless beef, with a weaker texture than even Tofu. Yellow bean sauce was the only thing I could taste, at all. 2 star only because the noodles (which I ate out of desperation,) were good.Threw up, never want to come here again.

I ordered beef rice and beef curry and I am no means very fussy when it comes to take away and I don't ever leave reviews but the meal I attempted to just eat was disgusting. The meat was slimy and the rice was stodgy and it made me feel sick when trying to eat it. I'm so disappointed and what a waist of just over a tenner. I will not be going back ever again.
