Chop Chop Express - Aberdeen City

I used to come to Chop Chop all the time, 3 times a week sometimes (too much I know but it was because of the shifts I worked and because it was THAT good) and it was my favourite chinese in Aberdeen. I didn’t live close by but I would still drive over to collect it and it was always worth it. They knew my name and my order and I would chat away to them when I’d collect. This was a few years ago now and in the last few years I’ve tried to avoid this chinese (which makes me sad) because the food is just not even nearly as good as it was. I am a fussy eater and I really struggle to find food I like. I would always order the chicken satay skewers and they used to be the best, I couldn’t ever find a chinese that had skewers I liked so I stuck with chop chop for a long time. I moved to Edinburgh for about a year and a half in 2018 and since then they have not been the same. The skewers have a funny taste, are a funny colour and have an off putting smell. Sometimes the chicken is a really strange texture. They do not taste of satay at all. The chips are usually stale like, however on my order today they were more on the undercooked side and I had quite a few that were hard. Today I also ordered the prawn toast which did not taste like prawns at all. Inside it looked more like chicken and tasted like chicken. My order today was a waste of money because the chicken was so bad I didn’t want to eat it and the prawn toast and soggy hard chips weren’t enjoyable at all. My vegan ex used to love the veggie options back then but also feels it’s not at all the same anymore and he has managed to find somewhere with better food. I occasionally try to give Chop Chop another go as I just think of how good it used to be but it’s always incredibly disappointing and it makes me sad because I’ve had to try and find a new chinese and I haven’t found a new favourite yet. I will not be back.

Absolutely the best Chinese in aberdeen! Delicious, nutritious, flavoursome and well presented food each time. Introduced to this restaurant by my teenage daughter about 3 years ago and we don’t use anywhere else now. They cater extensively for vegetarians and non vegetarians alike. Very warm, friendly and humorous reception on telephone ordering. They can’t do enough to cater for your needs. Thank you so much

Really good Chinese takeaway in my opinion the best in Aberdeen and I have tried many the only one that comes close is the royal crown in Torry that used to be named pearl city, have tried tried the canton house before used to he decent but I find quality has went down hill alot if the Chinese takeaways I find the chicken awful if you could even call it that it's like rubbery jelly doesn't even resemble chicken, there are a few that still are decent and use good ingredients and chop chop express are one of them fantastic tasty food old school chinese takeaway that use proper ingredients at an affordable price really like the food here and delivery is really fast aswell we stay in bridge of Don and always have were food in about 20-25 minutes after phoning thanks chop chop express please don't change like so many other Chinese takeaway have

My flatmate turned me on to this place last year and I wouldn't order from anywhere else. The food is always piping hot when it arrives, and the quality of the food is better than any Chinese I can think of. The chicken shreds are incredible and the beef with cashew nuts is amazing as well. Rice always tastes fresh and the chef is always happy to add extra garlic to mine. The food always arrives super quickly and the service on the phone and in person is brilliant.

This is a place I keep coming back to every week. The food here is delicious and always fresh. I particularly enjoy starters and fish dishes. The staff are extremelly friendly and helpful. They always greet you with a smile and have your order ready in no time.
