Customers frequently rave about the friendly service at Beijing Chef. The staff are not just polite; they create a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. The food itself garners high praise, particularly dishes like the sweet and sour pork loin and the sesame prawn toast, which are often described as stunning and unforgettable.
The value for money stands out as a significant benefit, providing generous portions at affordable prices. Diners love that they can share delightful dim sum and other small plates, making every meal feel like a celebration.
The restaurant's casual ambiance is also a hit, as it allows for comfort and relaxation whether dining solo or in a group. Additionally, the availability of no-contact delivery makes it a convenient choice for those staying in, further enhancing its appeal.
Most Disliked
Some diners mention that the restaurant's exterior could use a facelift, as it may not capture the authenticity and vibrancy found within. The unassuming façade might deter potential guests at first glance. However, this should not overshadow the wonderful experiences inside.
Occasional complaints revolve around the atmosphere created by the local radio station, with some reviews indicating that the sports commentary isn't suitable for a dining experience. While quirky, some patrons prefer a more conventional backdrop, such as music that complements the meal. Cold weather can also deter the walk-in crowd, affecting the restaurant's lively buzz during peak hours.
A few customers find wait times slightly longer during busy periods. Nonetheless, the overwhelmingly positive feedback suggests that most diners find the wait worthwhile for the delightful food and engaging service.

Amazing food, lovely service and would definitely come back for more next time! Loved the lady who seemed so happy serving the food and she made me and my partner feel so welcome which was a cherry on the top of the lovely food. The highlight was definitely the shanghai pork belly and my personal favourite was the sesame prawn toast.♥️

Cannot think of having better Chinese food! Have been twice and loved it both times. The Sesame Prawn Toast is stunning, along with the Duck starter to share. Have had 2 of the Rice Bowl Meals and each have been wonderful. It doesn't look much, and the football analysis on the radio didn't help the atmosphere, but was quirky. Got better when local radio changed to be a music show. Already looking forward to going back!

Do not be fooled by the restaurant's exterior appearance. We went there for the first time today and we were very pleased. The service was fast and very friendly. The food is simple, fresh and great. It gave us the feeling of being a family restaurant with authentic, delicious Chinese food. Furthermore, the price was extremely affordable, having paid less than 40 pounds for two starts and two main courses. Definitely recommend this place!

We called in on Saturday lunchtime. It was very quiet but after reading the reviews we thought we’d give it a go. The food was really good. We shared the dim sum starter and chilli spare ribs. Both of which were great. For mains we had a beef chow mein which again was lovely. Make sure you try the chilli sauce. It’s delicious and has a great depth of flavour. We also enjoyed a nice red wine and a pot of jasmine tea. The service was friendly and efficient. The price was also really good. Thank you.

Had the salt and pepper ribs, Kung pao chicken, white cabbage vegetable and some white rice. The food was amazing and I definitely recommend this place to people looking for a taste of authentic Chinese food outside of China. They were open on Christmas when I went, and they also do deliveries. Excellent service by the people working here, will definitely come back again if I'm in the area.
