Oriental Chef - Amber Valley

Not great but steady They deliver to me no problems Some dishes are bland Some are lovely but is that not way with all Take-Aways depends on who is cooking and how many orders they are working through This is good enough for the general type of take-away May be the menu has too many dishes on it I have noticed how much these types of places now cost I get a soup 2 dishes and rice do me for two meals last one was £21.20

Having previously enjoyed food from here we were looking forward to it. Food arrived late about 25 minutes after expected. It was barely warm. Spring roll was so wet and soggy it stuck to the bag and was inedible. Salt and chilli chips were soggy and had no flavour of salt or chilli. Same with the salt and chilli ribs. Prawn toast wasn’t crispy. Mushroom curry was ok but cold. Hugely disappointed and won’t use again.

We have used Oriental Chef since 1993 and have seen a lot of changes. Our last two takeaways have been absolutely fantastic fresh, hot and delicious. Think they must have a new chef because it went downhill for a while but is now as good as it's ever been. We'll be returning to our weekly takeaways.

We were having a short break in Pentrich, Derbyshire. After browsing the brochures in our holiday let for a Chinese takeaway, we selected the Oriental Chef in Swanwick, the nearest town. Note that on-street parking is a bit tight. We arrived 10 minutes before opening time, but it was raining and the nice lady who served us opened up and let us in. After placing our order, it was ready very quickly and we took the meal back to our holiday let. It was very good indeed- properly cooked and very tasty. I can therefore recommend the Oriental Chef for quality and friendly service and a very large menu.

Good for food and found £200 in a bag next to it one time but noodles were dry and I wanted them wet been here for food multiple times since very good
