Chef Da China - East Dorset

The food and drinks at this restaurant are very expensive and of very low quality. The dishes are very dry, with tough meat that is difficult to chew. The service is extremely poor, with uncharismatic workers who are unhelpful when asked simple questions. One member of our party ordered a fillet steak in Chinese style, but it was not a fillet steak at all. It was so tough that it was nearly impossible to cut or eat. In such a pricey restaurant, we expected high-quality food and service, but were very disappointed. I will be contacting the restaurant to address these issues. Overall, if you enjoy overpriced meals and bad service, this is the place for you.

Despite their website advertising a buffet, we were disappointed to find out that they no longer offer it on Sundays. However, we still enjoyed their regular lunch menu as usual. It was a bit disappointing, but we're all only human after all.

We went for an appetizer, the cured meats were delicious. I had the duck in plum sauce and it was delightful. The rice was excellent as well, along with the sweet and sour chicken. Compared to another restaurant I visited last week, Chef da China far surpasses it.

I used this restaurant in pastness and had taken some, they are usually quite delicious. I ordered a chicken and tropical roasted rice. the farewell arrived and I served it. the curry didn't even taste like curry, more like Bisto-Gravur. The chicken was slim and must have been processed chicken. they complain. the dame asked if I had ordered in the past, and also had fifteen years of the same chef. I told her it was tasteless and chicken mucosa, and also not up to their normal standard. she did not seem so disturbed, and no offer was made to me to put it right

Arrived at 1900 NYE....only 4 of us including my 8 year old. By 2130 we were still waiting for our main course. All the while no table service to offer more drinks or update us as to the delay. Eventually we were informed the...food would still be another 30 mins because they were prioritising a large fast food order. We decided not to wait as 3 hours was completely unacceptable. No apology, charged us for what we had eaten which was frankly outrageous seeing as we had all ordered a set menu and as such ended up paying more for the individual itemised food. So disappointed and will not return. Terrible service and what we did eat was overcooked.
