What Kieran Clarke doesn't like about Chef Da China:
The food is great but the owner was bit rude. All he wanted was for us to leave and close the restaurant. It was only 10pm and we had not finished our drinks but he kept on hassling us when we wanted to pay...and leave. He was not happy for us buying drinks and drinking he was more focused on when he could shut the place down. Even after we paid, he was annoyed and not courteous. We left without finishing the drinks.... View all feedback. What Mike Harris likes about Chef Da China:
Despite their website advertising a buffet, we were disappointed to find out that they no longer offer it on Sundays. However, we still enjoyed their regular lunch menu as usual. It was a bit disappointing, but we're all only human after all. View all feedback.

This restaurant has garnered a diverse array of opinions, primarily centered around its food and service. While many patrons rave about the delicious dishes, such as duck in plum sauce and expertly prepared cured meats, others express disappointment with certain meals, citing flavor issues and overcooked items. Service has been a major point of contention; some guests report a warm and welcoming atmosphere, while others experienced rudeness and significant delays. Despite these mixed experiences, the establishment showcases potential, with consistent quality food that keeps some diners returning for more, despite service inconsistencies.
