Reviews
My favourite takeaway when I visit Edinburgh ! The food is always delicious, hot and fresh when delivered. The lady taking the order is so lovely , always taking care to give an accurate time of delivery, especially when busy. Highly recommended 👍 …
This place was recommended to me and it doesn't disappoint.
Even simple dishes are cooked to perfection and I'm going to enjoy exploring some of the less common dishes they have on their menu.
Best chinese food I've had in Musselburgh/Edinburgh in a long time. Food is well ventilated, deep fried stuff arrived in perfect condition. Food isn't greasy, doesn't leave you with that 'I've just had a takeaway' feeling. Food is very fresh. The service and the staff are friendly, helpful and give off very sweet vibes. They were very busy tonight and the food still came in 5 star condition. Cant recommend enough.
Good food reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this to anyone who loves Chinese food.
So I tried Chef Chi after reading reviews and I wasnt disappointed. I ordered a lemon chicken dish & salt & chilli chicken dish, both were lovely. I went in to order my meal & Emma, who took the order, was really lovely, polite and thorough when taking the order. It was a 30min wait but I can accept that, it was busy, a Friday night & its clearly a very popular takeaway!! I'll be ordering from there again.
Update: 15th August, I phoned in an order, the lady taking the order was so lovely, upbeat & chatty, really lifted my mood. I was a pest, phoning to change my order but nothing was a problem to her. The food, chicken & cashew nut, fried rice, chilli chips, curry sauce, noodles & sweet n sour sauce was really nice, not too salty, not too bland, plenty cashews which other takeaways scrimp on and plentiful portions. Second time here and yes I'd recommend and yes, il be back.
Ordered meal from here. Won't be back. Was told 45min for delivery, was nearly twice that. Chips were cold and dry. Special curry and chicken satay only warm. Satay was okay taste. Curry tasteless and rubbery. Disgusting.
Excellent food & lovely friendly staff who make you feel so welcome. Price wise well the food was amazing and so very reasonably priced. Try it you won't be disappointed. Better to book as it's always busy.
Absolutely wonderful food with Service that's first class. Would highly recommend and will certainly return again. The owner is such a wonderful person too who kindly helped us out in the rain. Thank you so much
Love the food from here and have done for a number years. Unfortunately they will be closing at the end of March 2023 due to rising costs and tax rates
