I ordered ramen bowls for a Christmas present and they are perfect. Really lovely quality and very authentic. Unfortunately one of the bowls had cracked during delivery. I contacted customer services about this to ask about how to move forward with a refund/replacement and they immediately send a new bowl. It has been delivered to my house within 20 hours of me sending the initial email! Incredible customer service and will definitely be placing an order again.
Souschef has my favourite brand of Couscous - after the initial nervous first order I felt reassured they were genuine. Im such a sceptic these days!
I have since ordered more and they are super fast at processing the order and the product arrives in good condition. The customer service is spot on - this is a really lovely company to deal with.
Brilliant customer service - they look after customers that’s for sure
My delivery had been damaged in the post and Sous Chef provided me with a replacement of all products without requiring me to send them back. This order was for a Christmas present, so I was concerned about getting the replacements in time, but the order arrived at my door the next day. Correspondence was super fast, professional, and friendly - I look forward to shopping with Sous Chef again.
Excellent olive oil at a fair price and very good after sales service
Present of ramen bowl gift set arrived in a flimsy and obviously damaged box. Bowls were smashed and duly removed by the delivery driver. Customer services impossible to contact (no number, no response to email) to rearrange delivery or refund so left without a present for a close relative. Christmas should not be such a shock - it happens every year! Theoretically good products but not treated carefully and not worth the stress.

The team at Sous Chef are amazing. I had a delivery turn up with the wrong items, which is understandable giving the busy time, but they responded to my email and had a new delivery at my house within 24 hours. They even let me keep what I’d been sent by mistake!
Sous Chef is always my first port of call for gifts, and certainly will continue to be. Thanks!
Shambolic. I ordered as a gift four items. The tortilla press was broken and the paint was coming off to the touch. Another item was unboxed and without instructions. The third item had obviously been pre-ordered and returned as the plastic packaging was scissor cut and open. Is no one checking this stuff? A total embarrassment. Don’t buy from here as there are lots of other alternatives available.

I love Sous Chef! Great products, good delivery, and fabulous customer service.
One item I ordered to give as a gift was damaged, and the replacement arrived within 24 hours, hassle free.
Previous orders have gone without a problem but clearly something has gone wrong as Sous Chef given the latest reviews and our experience. We ordered 6 panettone as gifts which were to be delivered next day. Five days later 5 arrived, 1 was out of stock. When they arrived the label was ripped off of one, tags off the other and one of the tins was dented. The customer service has been terrible for the duration. Twice I spoke to the team and was told they would follow up. Nothing came from them until 3 days later. We won't be rushing back to Sous Chef. Such a shame as they do have nice products.

Delivered in a scruffy box which was falling apart at the sides, unfortunately this meant a couple of the products inside were also damaged and will now need sellotaping back together!
Such a shame as the website is great with lots of interesting options but I wouldn’t rush back to order more from Sous Chef.

Delicious food, great customer service.
I'm new to this company, just waiting for my second order to be delivered, but can already say that I will be back for more! Food is lovely, good choice and super customer service. Perfect.
I have used Sous Chef on numerous occasions . In the last eight days I have placed three orders, I am still waiting for the first order whilst the 2nd and third have arrived.
Contacted customer service with no explanation

Paid for next day delivery …still waiting on my parcel 3 days later and no reply to email
Not great
Why offer next day if you can’t fulfil
Emails should be answered same day

The range of products is remarkable and high quality. Over the years I've bought pans and other kitchenalia from them and been very satisfied, but I mainly use them for hard to find ingredients and treats.
I have made several orders and always been delighted with the product range and quality that Sous Chef offers, as well as the prompt professional service and delivery.
I recently had reason to grumble (for the first time) about a particular product that had arrived in an inedible condition (a transit issue it appears): I complained and the issue was rectified in very good time, with an apology and a satisfactory resolution. This is the sign of a well-run organisation that puts its customers' satisfaction to the fore, so once again Thank you Sous Chef!
I ordered a coffee press, waited eagerly a few days and got... a bag of dark chocolate callets and no coffee press. I sent a request for the right item to be shipped and got a call a couple of hours later. The coffee press was sadly out of stock (I'm guessing another customer got mine by mistake), and I didn't want to wait until the end of the month, which is when they estimated that they'd have it in stock again. A refund was immediately issued to PayPal. I'm disappointed that I didn't get the item I ordered, but grateful for the prompt response and refund.
Usually reliable, but on this occasion did not honour their next day delivery promise (not the couriers fault, it was not picked until the day after ordering). I received a polite email apologising, but that is of little use when I needed that order as it was a last minute gift. Please don't advertise a service that you are unable to reliably fulfil.

EDIT** Updated as I received a prompt response from SousChef who apologised for the oversight in the product description and are amending it. In addition, they have refunded my order. This was not requested or expected and a huge Customer service success, thank you Sous Chef**************************************
I ordered wooden chopsticks from this site, only to discover via a translation site on the wrapping text that not only are they made in China (the biggest red flag of all), but they are coated with some type of varnish/substance which is not specified on the packaging.
To be clear, I cannot trust anything Chinese products claim on their label anyway, so had the origin country been disclosed I would have avoided this product like the plague.
Nowhere on the item page is it stated that these potentially dangerous/toxic chopsticks are made in China, but they do throw the word Japanese around a lot.

So if I choose to return these inadequately described chopsticks I will have to foot the return bill and have £3.00 deducted from any refund, and complete the return process completely at my end.
Regarding goods from China overall, for the sake of your health and to prevent the abuse of slaves and civilians in China, avoid Chinese goods as much as you can.
I recently received two jars of your Griottines and found that both were leaking. After contacting you I received two replacements in good order. I would like to say how grateful I am for your quick response and will remain a happy customer of yours.
