Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the sweet and sour dishes, particularly the Hong Kong style options, which continue to win hearts with their perfect balance of flavors.
The 'meal in one box' is another hit, allowing diners to enjoy a variety of dishes conveniently packaged together. Many reviews highlight the fresh ingredients and the noticeable difference compared to standard takeaway fare. The chicken, cheese, and onion spring rolls are particularly popular, with many affirming that no other place prepares them quite like Magic Chef.
Moreover, the service earns high marks consistently, adding to the friendly and inviting atmosphere that locals enjoy.
Most Disliked
While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some diners note that the wait times during peak hours can be longer than expected. Although food is delicious, patience may be required if visiting at popular times.
A few patrons express disappointment regarding some menu items not being available during their visit. This can be challenging for regular visitors who have specific favorites. However, Magic Chef often updates offerings, keeping the menu fresh and exciting. A greater focus on ensuring popular items are always available would enhance the overall customer experience.

This take away has been consistently good over the years I've used it. I've tried 13 different Chinese takeaways in in the Gillingham and this one supplies the tastiest food. The sweet and sour (hong kong) dishes and the "meal in one box" are my favourites.
