I am happy to say that this place really does! Myself and a mate went in the other day and I was happy to see chicken wraps on the menu made with fresh grilled chicken, salad and blue cheese sauce....I expecting a carb overload as the place is called chop & Wok but alas.....some great healthy alternatives are available! Lovely. The wrap was only about £4 so I was not expecting it ti be as good as it was. It was really something.....the chicken was succulent and fresh and the blue cheese sauce was a really winner. The only slight downside to this place is the fact that its SO hot inside we sat in and I swear I nearly lost half a stone from overheating......I will say though this is more of a take away joint so dont let thins put you off at all they also have seating outside :) If you want somthing fresh and fast....chop and wok

I don't know if they were just having a really bad time tonight or what... but... bleh. I'm amazed at how they were able to mess up Chinese fast food. It seems like other reviewers like this place, so perhaps tonight was anomalous, but I was *super* disappointed with my noodles this evening. The sauce (I opted for the sweet and sour) was so watered down and it just totally lacked any flavor whatsoever (usually the best part of these places is the abundance of MSG-enhanced sauce). The veg was really overcooked and soggy and just... all in all disappointing. My partner got a totally different noodle/sauce/topping combination and was equally disappointed-- his actually just tasted burnt. Service was very friendly, though. Everyone there seemed on top of their jobs, despite it being an rather busy Friday night with lots of delivery orders coming in. I mean, maybe we just weren't drunk enough? Obviously this place gets points for the convenience, but for roughly the same price you can pop into one of many restaurants in China Town for takeaway 10x better than this.

I was in Birmingham for a night last month (hurray for cheap flights). I was at my hostel and…read morestarted wondering "is there a dish/food Birmingham is known for?" Well Google told me about balti, some kind of Indian curry dish. I love curry so I wanted to give balti a try. Hen and Chickens came up when I was looking for a restaurant serving Balti, and it was close to my hostel. Outside looks like a typical pub. Inside it's not a huge pub/restaurant, but the high ceiling and big windows let in lots of light (even in December) and makes it feel nice and open. I was there in mid-afternoon and it wasn't too busy. I ordered the lamb balti with garlic naan. I also got a pint of beer. The food was delicious. Apparently balti just refers to the type of dish the curry is cooked in, but I also read that it's a curry made with vegetable oil (rather than ghee). I'm a bit lactose intolerant and sometimes curries can give me issues. Maybe it's because balti is apparently made with veg oil, but I had no issues. The curry had a nice spice, but wasn't overwhelming. Staff was nice. Food was great. This looks like nothing special on the outside, but inside there's some really great Indian food. If I'm in Birmingham again I'd definitely come back here.

We were able to slip our luggage under the table, which was appreciated. Service was competent and prompt. The atmosphere was nice, though the music was a bit too loud. The food arrived within a short delay. We ordered a spicy curry and a beef ramen. This is where things get disappointing. The curry dish was not a Japanese curry at all, but a westernized Chinese sweet and hot dish. The ramen was a pale imitation of real Japanese ramen with a thin broth with no depth and noodles that didn't have much flavor. The beef was spicy and tender, and tasted of BBQ. The kimchi was fine, but the flavor profile was a little one-dimensional. The food wasn't bad, but we were sorely disappointed that it wasn't Japanese, as promised.

Oh I guess even if you never lived in China you'll probably realize that something is up. Simply stated, I think that a great way to check if a restaurant is authentic is if you are the only person there who does not come from the country where the food is from... This restaurant brings heavy Szechuan influence to its dishes and the main focus is hot pot and open face grill. Hot pot is a meal where you get a soup pot full of broth (normal or spicy) and then you add the meats and veggies you want to be cooked in the pot. It gets better and better as you cook more stuff.... Well if you cook good stuff and pick the right combos. They provide each table with individual hot plaques built into the table's surface at each place and a grill in the middle where you can grill some shrimp or thinly sliced beef or lamb. They have a buffet deal for all you can eat hot pot and grill ingredients for about 16£ and although it might not inspire the untrained eye - the selection of meats and veggies (and sauces) is just like what you would have in China. I also have tried several other dishes and I highly recommend the dumplings, the eggplant (the best I have found in the UK), and the spicy "Han" noodles (with a cucumber, garlic, and chili sauce - again not for the faint of taste bud). Don't forget a pot of tea to wash it down and cool off from the spices! The staff are super friendly and are happy to exchange in Chinese if you know a few words :) I love this spot and will be coming back for more soon!

I prefer mainly the rice boxes but I can take a thin noodle one at a push. Lately it's had a small refurb with much comfier seats added but it seems to be so busy that it's hard to get one a lot of the time. They seem to struggle with orders during peak time and my last visit they got my friends and my order wrong. They just gave me a regular nasi box which has less fish and some chicken - after the fiasco with my friends whose a vegetarian and got prawns i really couldn't be bothered to argue. Just check your order before you leave. I tolerate the odd mistake because when my friend forgets to ask for the write noodle they have on more than one occasion replaced her order - they don't have to do this. They have a loyalty card scheme so 5 stamps is a free side, 10 a free box with different offers running on certain days of the week e.g Monday you get double stamps and so on. They also deliver, the catchment area is quite small sadly. Despite the odd hiccup I will continue to go back.

With their delicious food and great 241 offers this now makes for a winning combination. They also provide a list of calorie and fat content for all the noodle dishes and it's actually not that bad! So if you fancy a treat but don't want to pile on the pounds one of the noodle dishes is only about 250-400 calories for a small box. Only one star off as the interior is that of a fast-food restaurant, but that's what it is so fair enough!
