Was noushc at Chikayan a mag?
Have been coming here for years and came here today for lunch. Amy looked after us with exceptional service and lovely food. I have been cooking Chinese food as a hobby and the food here is top notch. Thank you View all feedback.

What r50lts dislikes about Chikayan:
Exploited pricesSo eat out to help out is great but not when they increase their prices by 30% and then don’t pass back the VAT from 20-5%Only found out the eat all you can was £28 when the waiter took the order, oh by he way it’s my job to tell you how much the meal is as it’s not printed on the menu.Food was ok, service just acceptable and 15% added to the bill for this. Don’t take Amex either.I feel that they help... View all feedback.

Terrible experience. We ordered takeout from this restaurant, which is just a 5-minute drive from our home. The food arrived cold and the smoked chicken was burnt and cold. The rice was cold, damp, and pudding-like. We will not be ordering from here again.

We ordered delivery online to our home. When the food arrived, it was only warm. We spent £84 for a meal for 4 adults. If the food had been better quality, the temperature might not have been an issue, but unfortunately, it was not. The food itself was mediocre. Additionally, there was a yellow stain on anything that was touched that has been very hard to remove. I would not suggest using this restaurant for takeout or delivery.

Do not visit this restaurant. The food is very poor quality and tastes like it was cooked in old, burnt oil. Despite specifically requesting less oil in our chow mein, it was still excessively oily and lacking in flavor. When I called to address the issue, the restaurant was unhelpful and rude, insisting that they had to use oil in their cooking. Ultimately, we wasted money on food that we could not even eat. We recommend avoiding this establishment.

Used to love this place for family and friends catch up. The food used to be spot on and staff friendly. Sadly this is no longer the case. Was there for a small birthday gathering and staff literally had frowns on and miserable. Crispy chilli beef used to be a highlight but this is bad now. Such a shame.

This was the worst Chinese meal I have ever had. I took my grandchildren there as a treat. There are so many other restaurants in Bushey. I really chose the wrong one. The food and the service were disgusting not to mention expensive.

Chikayan's reputation seems to be on a rollercoaster ride, with opinions sharply divided. While some diners revel in its return to the popular all-you-can-eat format, enjoying generous portions and friendly service, others lament a decline in food quality and customer care. Numerous complaints include a failure to fulfill orders correctly, excessive oil in dishes, and a lack of communication from staff. Additionally, some patrons have felt overcharged due to misleading pricing tactics. Conversely, a few have praised the takeout experience and authentic flavors they've enjoyed. Ultimately, prospective diners may want to approach with caution.

A favorite forever. much more delicious authentic than most places close and fabulous tasty selection. I love the Cantonese crispy nude and bananenfritter. (daughter tasty bites) I have immersed myself to get the 10% collection discount, 25.% when they go over £20 and order a bubbled one. the menu I couldn't find online, so here it is. only high-quality Chinese.

This is the first time I have had a take-away here and the food was exceptional. I really like the Chow Mein with the bean sprouts as this was thinner noodles and soft beans sprouts so I was pleasantly surprised. I had the vegetarian crispy duck pancakes and the Chilli Asparagus (apattizer). All very tasty and I will certainly be ordering or eating in from here again.

I had the worst experience ever at this restaurant. There were loud, intoxicated customers that made it impossible for others to enjoy their evening. Our table and one other were not happy, but the staff refused to address the situation.
