Chop Chop Express - Aberdeenshire

I live about half a mile away from this establishment, and yet it took them 90 minutes to deliver my order and I was charged £1.50 for the pleasure. It might have been worth the wait, if the food had been good.... However, the whole order was cold, stodgy, slimy and greasy. The sweet and sour sauce was basically a mix of bright pink food colouring, vinegar, sugar and starch. There were seven prawns which, at £5.50 for the dish is a bit of a rip-off. The fried rice tasted of cold, burnt, over-used cooking oil. We had also ordered satay chicken skewers. The two (yes, just two) pieces of chicken arrived wrapped in tinfoil with a slither of dried-up cucumber and a teaspoonful of satay sauce. This takeaway was, by far, one of the worst I've ever had, as well as one of the most expensive. I won't use them again.

After going last time and realising that the sauce with the chicken balls is miniscule, I knew to order differently. The meal we had last time wasn't the greatest, but we thought they were just having an off day. We've since discovered that it was in fact a good day. This time we ordered the chicken balls, an extra portion of sweet and sour sauce, spicy chilli chicken, 2 portions of fried rice and a portion of chips. The chicken balls were tiny, the sauce was lumpy, the chips had black speckles all over them (looked like the oil needed changed), and the fried rice had a really funny smell and was almost black. It was as though it had been cooked in a dirty pan. Will definitely never be going back here.

The restaurant offers delicious food and friendly staff at affordable prices. Conveniently located near the main road in Port Elphinstone. I would definitely dine here again.

We were extremely disappointed with our takeaway tonight. It was delivered cold and the chips were soggy. The rice was overcooked and mushy. When we spoke to the manager on the phone, it seemed like she was not competent and could only respond with "okay" after a long pause. We are currently waiting for our food to be collected and for a refund. We will not be ordering from this takeaway again. After waiting for over an hour and fifteen minutes for collection, we are still waiting and have had to pay for a taxi to go out as we informed the manager we had plans. This experience has completely ruined our evening. The service is a complete joke and we would not recommend it.

"The best Chinese food in Inverurie! You must try the crispy chicken strips starter - it's faultless every time. The service is also great."
