I tried the worst rated takeaway in Bedford on Tripadvisor and it turned out to be great – Josh Bolton

Like many people, my takeaway consumption has skyrocketed over the past 18 months.

Most of us are extremely loyal to a couple of places, as it can be risky to try a new Indian or somewhere other than your regular pizza place.

But in the name of journalism, I tried somewhere new, Bedford’s worst rated takeaway on Tripadvisor.

The holder of this unwanted title is Chef Beijing, on Castle Lane, which ranked 61 of 63, but 62 and 63 didn’t have a single review.

Chef Beijing has accumulated 157 reviews, with 85 of them rating it as terrible. This resulted in a meagre two and a half star rating.

Unfortunately it’s not just the ratings that make this place stand out, the reviews are littered with words that don’t fill you with confidence. Cold. Dry. Greasy.

With these reviews, I had to find out for myself why it was just so awful. So that’s exactly what I did.

I ordered on the website, a Szechuan tofu and vegetable chow mein, coming to £9.40.

To my surprise, the website asked me how I wanted my chow mein, crispy or soft. I’ve never been asked this before and wasn’t really sure how they’d make a chow mein crispy, so had to give that a go.



The portions were pretty good for the price

I don’t know exactly what I was expecting to be honest but based on the reviews I knew it was a bold choice.

One review said: “We had food delivered which quite frankly was inedible – the pad thai was a congealed lump of noodles, the beef lettuce wraps were dry and hard, the spring rolls were all pastry and greasy.

“I have just cooked myself egg on toast which was a delight in comparison to what was delivered – say not more!!”

I’m not one to go off reviews alone as sometimes people can be very judgemental when they’re hungry, I know I can be especially after a long day when you just want to relax.

I collected my food from the restaurant, which is tucked away around the corner from The Higgins Museum, and headed home to eat.

As I got home and opened up the food I was delighted to see it was steaming hot, great news as many reviews mentioned it was cold.

Not only was the food hot, but they’d also given me a bag of prawn crackers – there aren’t many takeaways who would chuck those in on such a small order.



The tofu was particularly delicious

As I began to tuck in I was pleasantly surprised, it was really good. I’m not saying it was Michelin star worthy, but it was just a solid Chinese.

My only disappointment was that the chow mein was distinctly not crispy.

Now I don’t know if the reason I liked it so much is because I was expecting a greasy mess, but it was genuinely delicious.

All I can say is don’t always judge a book by its cover, or by its 85 terrible reviews.
