Magic Chef Chinese Restaurant

I’ve eaten at Magic Chef Chinese Restaurant in Egham six times now, as I run a business nearby and it’s become our go-to spot for both client lunches and my own quick work meals. Each visit, whether eating in as a group or grabbing something alone, has been consistently excellent—Magic Chef is one of those rare places where the food really stands out every single time. The quality of the food here is simply outstanding. Every dish I’ve tried has been delicious, always cooked perfectly and packed with authentic flavour. You can tell a lot of care goes into the cooking: the special fried rice is a standout, and dishes like Szechuan noodles show real attention to traditional Chinese recipes. There are some unique menu options you don’t find just anywhere, and it’s always exciting to discover something new—but what’s most impressive is that in all my visits, we have never had a bad meal. Service at Magic Chef is also great. The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, which has made it easy to host business guests and also means you feel comfortable coming by yourself. Orders come out promptly, and if you’re a regular you can sense an extra level of attention. While pricing can be on the higher side, it feels completely justified given the consistently high quality of the food and the overall dining experience. Perhaps the best thing about Magic Chef is the authenticity and skill in the kitchen: every meal tastes top-quality, fresh, and true to its roots, making it my favourite Chinese restaurant in the area by a long way. It’s a real gem for anyone working or dining in Egham, highly recommended for both business meals and casual visits alike

Wonderful restaurant I really do not understand the negative reviews, my boyfriend and I ordered an array of different dishes and none of them were cold, oily or tasted as if they came out the freezer! The staff were very kind, they did not take long handing out our food and even gave us a plate of food free of charge which was wonderful, would come back here again!

Went with a group of 15 people and we couldn’t have been looked after any better. The food was great and the service was spot on…and the price was great too!

Food was very tasty and came out quickly. It was a tad oily, however it is sometimes used to enhance flavours. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Best Chinese in Surrey! Super affordable but authentic. Manager was very friendly too. Loved the hot and sour soup and mapo tofu.

Magic Wok is such a fantastic place to eat out in, parking available nearby in Egham High Street (free). Food was great (although slightly expensive but not as much as overpriced) and in great portions, also pretty authentic. Atmosphere was lovely and staff were friendly. Recommend.

The owners are so so so so lovely! The food is delicious and large quantities. (A little more expensive that some other restaurants... but it's worth every penny!) Best Chinese in Egham, Staines, Ascot! X
