Was peter cunningham at Good Chef a mag?
I’m a guy who really enjoys a good Chinese meal, and I’ve tried quite a few over the years. When it comes to chicken curry, I've often wondered if I'm actually eating real chicken or some questionable genetically modified creature. However, the chicken curry from Good Chef was truly unique. My taste buds danced with joy the moment the first forkful hit my mouth. The salt and chili chips were so delicious that I kept... View all feedback.

What samanthae319 dislikes about Good Chef:
Really disappointed with my favourite take away tonight. Popped in at 7pm to order 1 dish for my dinner was told there was an hour wait! I went to the take away didn't order a delivery! Of course I did not wait. So am starving and miserable as I know how tasty it would have been! surely 1 dish could have been bumped up the list?! View all feedback.

I recently ordered Chinese takeout from this restaurant and had a great experience. The staff was friendly when I called to place my order, the food arrived hot, and it was the best Chinese food I've had in a long time. I will definitely be returning.

Just like many others in the area, I was thrilled to see Good Chef reopen. I went in and placed my order, noticing that the takeout shop had new management. The staff were friendly, but when I got home, I was disappointed with the food. The crispy seaweed was not crispy and the batter on the chicken balls was too thick and not crispy. I decided to give Good Chef another try a few weeks later, but unfortunately, the food was still disappointing for the same reasons. It's unlikely that I will be returning to Good Chef again.

I really enjoy this restaurant. The Chinese food is incredible. I recently saw on Google that they may be closed, but I hope that's not true because this is my favorite Chinese takeout spot. The food is never greasy and always full of flavor. #GoodChefIsTheBest.

The restaurant offers straightforward, made-to-order dishes that are well-prepared and offer great value. Despite the unassuming appearance of the establishment, the food was of high quality. While there may be a 25-minute wait for the food to be cooked, the freshness and lack of reheating or microwaving make it worth the wait. Overall, this is a place that serves delicious food.
