"After reviewing the menu, we decided to go for a 'running buffet' and shared a variety of dishes, reordering every ten minutes or so. I asked everyone to rate each dish on a scale of 1 to 5, and every main dish received a perfect score of 5, except for the Szechuan Prawns, which got a 5.5, and the sizzling spicy chicken, which scored a 6! The rice and noodles were all delicious—fluffy, tasty, and well-seasoned—but we gave them all a rating of 4 simply because the mains were exceptional. The standout dishes were the Char Siew (honey pork), which we ended up ordering three times, and the sizzling hot spicy chicken, which we ordered twice. It had a delightful kick of heat, was tender and moist, and had a wonderful sauce—even though I tried to manage the scores, they rated it a 6! The Szechuan prawns were plump, firm, and cooked to perfection, and they scored a very hard-fought 5.5, with just the right amount of heat. One of the boys was a bit picky, but we requested a serving of Singaporean noodles without vegetables for him without any hassle. This isn’t just average food; it’s really good, and it comes out quickly, looks appealing, and tastes fantastic—reflecting its price. We also tried the 'wine by the glass' options. The white Chilean Sauvignon Blanc paired well with the food, while I enjoyed an Australian Shiraz that complemented the beef, pork, and spicy dishes nicely. The Italian 'Blush' rosé was also a hit. We're already planning to return on Monday with another group of six to explore more of the menu, and I’m genuinely looking forward to it. If you truly appreciate good food, I highly recommend trying Chef Peking!"

"RACIST!!! My husband was in this area with his colleague last night. His colleague was hungry and wanted hot food. My husband wanted nothing. His colleague asked him to check to see if Gaylord Tandoori was open, while he went into the Tesco express opposite. My husband walked to the restaurant read the offers in the window and the A-board outside. Two men came outside from the restaurant and stood blocking the door and asked my husband if there was a problem. Hubby clarified that he was reading that offers they had posted up. The staff told him that they were closed, still standing in the doorway. He thought nothing of it, went into the Tesco express to tell his colleague that they were closed and went back to his vehicle. A short while later, his colleague approached their vehicle completely incensed and outraged. His colleague explained that he had walked across to Gaylord Tandoori himself and as he walked in the restaurant, he was given a menu and and was asked to sit down. He felt so hurt by this overt act of profiling and racism and he wanted to know why. They both entered the restaurant to get an explanation. The restaurant staff were shocked when the two men walked in together and didn’t know what to say. My husband’s colleague asked them for an explanation. One staff member stood around the corner to avoid explaining and the other couldn’t find words. Why was it that one of them was blocked, denoting a problem and sent packing and the other allowed to come in and sit down? If it’s not clear by now: my husband is black and his colleague is white. Hubby’s colleague told them off. They then offered to give them both a sit down meal. Weren’t they closed???..."

"I ordered some sushi and noodles for the evening dinner with my family. Since we normally order from Osaka we decided to give another restaurant a go and never again. The rolls were fine (rice was ok, good hosomaki, remaking soft but we didn’t...expect the seaweed to stay crispy since we order delivery, alright uramaki with avo and salmon on top however the sashimi on top of the roll was very thick and in places hard to chew which is okay, can’t blame the salmon). My vegan temakis were right next to the salmon roll, in one box, even though they could have been put with the other vege maki... Overall rolls were fine. However the noodles were an atrocity... the noodles we received were simply not edible, mashed up in a tiny container, looked like someone had to sit on them in order for them to close, prawns on top of the noodles were super soft and wet since they were on the noodles and not in a separate container. The noodles themselves were falling apart with the slightest touch, as if they were cooked for way too long, I could count maybe three pieces of veg in the dish, overall- a disaster... but the best part starts when deliveroo connected me to the restaurant I was basically told to stop lying, that what I say isn’t true and they won’t do anything about the fact that the noodles are straight up disgusting because no one ever complains about their food and the chef and the boss agree to send another order of noodles if I pay for them because otherwise it’s sending food for free. Our conversation lasted for 18 minutes during which I was called a liar, I was told to stop, I was told that there can’t be anything wrong with the food and that noodles were perfect they were perfectly jammed into a tiny box and flavourless mush instead of noodles... After 18 minutes very unhappily the man I spoke with agreed to refund the money for the noodles, apologised after calling me pretty much an idiot to his boss as they shouted back and forth without muting the mic so I could hear everything loud and clear. Would not recommend the take away service."

"Drinks ordered 2 pints of Fosters at £5.25/pint, served in generic unbranded glasses. When I asked the barmaid “are all the Fosters’ glasses waiting to be washed”, she replied “no, we don’t have any Fosters branded glasses, we only have these unbranded glasses”. The lager soon went flat as the unbranded pint glasses did not have the basic standard nucleated head saver at the base of the glass. It’s a bit rich to charge £5.25 then have the audacity to serve it in a non branded cheap money saving glass! Food we ordered the creamy garlic mushroom starters, eventually arrived were barely tepid. When asked by the waitress was everything all right, I commented by saying the starters were both just tepid that we’d appreciate the main courses being hot. Main courses arrived, got order wrong on one of the dishes, chips not fries but accepted the error. My wife had the pie dish I had the lasagne. AGAIN, both dishes were served tepid majority of food left untouched. The kitchen staff need to understand the simple basics of cooking hot food should be served hot. Why? Simple, heat brings out the flavour of the food, that’s why it’s supposed to be served hot! Or if the kitchen staff do understand the relevance importance of serving hot dishes hot then maybe it’s a simple case of a couldn’t care attitude. A couple of evenings later we visited the Good Companion pub not more than half a mile down the same road incredible friendly atmosphere with plenty of staff to serve on a very busy night, Fosters £4.25/pint served in excellent Fosters glasses, piping hot very tasty food served at sensible prices. Watch out George, you have a significant competitor on your doorstep. You will need to raise your game to a minimal basic standard to have any chance of surviving!"
