Booked via their webpage and asked for confirmation of the booking. I never got this so had to ring up to check we did have a table. We ordered the set meal for 4 as it was a Birthday 'treat'. The place was busy: there was a table with at least 24 people on it and certainly another two with 6-8 on those as well. So, service was hit and miss and slow. After we had eaten the duck pancakes, we waited for the main dishes. By 45 minutes of waiting and several trips to ask what was going on, it transpired that the staff knew they were over booked for that night, had not enough staff and by then, our food had not even began to be cooked. According to the waiting staff, when they pushed the owner/cook, he said he "did not care" that people were waiting. After waiting an hour for the main dishes to come, we gave up and left.

Over 2 hours later no food, tried to call after 1 hour and 1/2 and said it would be another 15 minutes... lies! When it finally arrived we told the driver we would not be happy paying £43 when we waited for so long. Told us WE would have to call the restaurant to discuss it! Of course we thought that was ridiculous and expressed that to the driver. At that point the driver asked for the food back! APPALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE and no call to discuss issues or to apologise! ONLY RECOMMEND RESTAURANT where they can’t make you wait over 2 hours! Would rather waste food and loose customers than...
Read moreTried Victor Chan's for the first time this evening. We hadn't made a reservation but they managed to squeeze us in. The interior is clean, fresh and more chic than most chinese restaurants. The service was impeccable - efficient, friendly and attentive but without being too invasive. The food was delicious, every dish piping hot, full of flavour and beautifully presented. We enjoyed every mouthful. We had set menu number 2. I'm not sure why the comments about the atmosphere, it was busy although this was a Saturday evening. But there was also nice background music and the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. We will...
