King Chef - Horsham

The worst take away I have ever had...the sauce was all gloopy and the fried beef with cashew nuts looked like something they had pulled up out of the sewer! I would not recommend this Chinese at all

Well ordered today and they screwed up my order first time and had to call them to ask where rest of it

...after 30 years as our Go To Take out King Chef needs to tighten up its act. A sudden change of plans put my wife and I into finding food for ourselves. Having lived locally and used King Chef for many years and on our regular visits we always drop back to king Chef for at least one meal it was a disappointment to have a mediocre meal supplied. The mixed Chinese starters were as ever very good. But the mains were bland and lacklustre. The Sweet and Sour pork I ordered was bland, the sweet and sour just heavily vinegared. No real sweetness. My wife ordered Chicken in Yellow Bean with cashews. her favourite main. The resultant dish was very food-colouring RED in look and taste, and the number of cashews was in single figures. This was not Yellow Bean Chicken clearly two orders had been mixed up. I hope the person that ordered the red chicken meal enjoyed the yellow been with cashew chicken. I cook a LOT of Chinese dishes at home and both were very far from the mains I produce and from what we had been used to. On this showing King Chef is on the slide to mediocrity so next time I may vote with my feet and try another takeaway. 30 years of being our 'go to ' choice and recommended to others status look to be under threat. Buck your ideas up guys your reputation is under threat.

I ordered prawn toast, chicken fried rice, and a pork curry to go. When I got home, I realized there was an extra plain rice included. When I called to inquire, I was told that it comes with the pork curry. I ended up being charged for a rice that I didn't even want. Be cautious of getting charged for items you don't request. Unbelievable rip off. Be careful!

We ordered the crispy aromatic duck, egg fried rice, crispy wong tong, dumplings and lemon chicken. We usual use another Chinese in the area but due to covid no others were open, so we decided to try king chef, I ordered our food early for a collection at 8pm, the man on the phone was friendly enough and the food was ready at our requested time. Lemon chicken there was lots lemon sauce and my husband tells it was good. The dumplings were ok, the egg frid rice was fine as you would expect, the duck was lovely well prepared and hardly any fat. For me the worst part was the crispy wong tongs, these were badly wrapped the meat on half on them had fallen out, and they were over cooked. Decent meal and good value for money.
