East Meets West in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Sadly I had a hard day and decision to treat my self as I read some review which read well the meal I had was the worst Chinese meal I’ve ever been served absolutely awful I’ve. Just moved here to retire

Had a takeaway but arrived later than they had said. Had given directions but they said they couldn't find us. I opened the front door and they were down the road . Food was just warm but edible and very nice

Very average food and not great value for money and be warned if your taking children as over 9s are £22.50

The all you can eat is just lush and very good for filling the empty stomach of the hungry ones the food is very well presented as well and the atmosphere is ok

We found the food second to none, Fresh and nicely cooked and a really good variety of choice. The Service was really good, the food arrived swiftly and the staff were friendly, Would definitely eat there again.

Myself and my partner ate here on Thursday 31st August, in the evening. We had the All you can eat buffet, it was our first time. And it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place.

For us, this wasn’t the experience we had expected from the previous reviews. Being our families first visit, we would of expected better customer service, no one really knew how the buffet worked and this was not really explained by them. The food was very grey, bland and not to a great standard, not what you would expect from reviews. (I do hope they were genuine). Not somewhere we would revisit and certainly not recommend 😞

Food was nice. We had the buffet but had to order extra portions as there were three of us. Drinks were expensive. £7.95 for a glass of Chardonnay. They only did bottles of Pinot. Duck was very nice and crispy

Fantastic night for my Granddaughter birthday, food was amazing and service,they even turned lights down and played happy birthday, FABULOUS place

Probably the best Chinese restaurant in St Austell!

Verry expensive. Poor service. Not impressed

brilliant experiences, especially that lad called jed, excellent service ‼️‼️‼️👍👍

Awful 😖 i had diarrhoea and was sick after. The curry sauce was powdery and had no flavour and both meals were cold. Even the chips were not cooked properly!

Lovely staff. Food is excellent all comes out freshly served. Lovely and hot would highly recommend

Always thought of this as the best in St Austell. After today I've changed my mind! Nasty sweet and sour chicken balls made with tough chicken thigh. The BBQ spare ribs were swimming in a watery tastless sauce. Very disappointed!

Lovely food, went on a Sunday night for the a you can eat buffet. Excellent.

Was not the best chinese meal had it delivered, so I did not experience the atmosphere

Excellent service and food, friendly staff, good experience.

Great food but desperately needs a refurb and the service is pretty shoddy

Ordered take away. Ready on time. Good choice on menu. Fairly priced. Wonderful meal.

Only the chicken noodle soup and the prawn crisps were good. Tom yam soup was just clear hot water and a couple of prawns. The vegetables were covered with sticky sauce, and it tasted like glue.

I had a mixed meat curry. Hardly any flavour, rice under cooked. Hubby had chicken chow mein and it was very dry with minimal flavour. Quite disappointed.

Food was delicious, excellent attentive service. The best Chinese Web had. We'll be back!

Very good food and plentiful, best chicken in black bean sauce, I've had in a while and starters were fab. Good price at £22 per person for the buffet which is cooked freshly and served to you. Will definitely go again.

Nice place to eat good food and service was top, just needs a better location to be 5☆ in my opinion as parking limited

Have eaten in and had take away several times from here. Had take away last time and as always was really fast. Good menu range as you'd expect. Food was very nice indeed, very well prepared with lots of flavour

Customer service was disgusting. Don't do the buffet, think their objective was to give you as little good as possible. How to order wasn't explained, and when confronted he was very rude. The owner was very argumentative.

Amazing flavourful food. Quick service and lovely staff. Ate so much our bellies hurt, it was so delicious.

Visiting on holiday and always wary as we don't use them regularly but omg everything was absolutely amazing! 10/10 please don't hesitate to trry it you will not be disappointed.

The food was nice and the staff were friendly

Ate in-house as a walk in for a large group of 14 people. Did not pre-book. The staff were very accommodating, setting up 2 large tables for the group. There is an extensive menu choice and the food was quick to arrive, tasty and enjoyed by all.

Disgusting takeaway thai curry .. Think oily/gravy /chunks of un cooked chicken / mushrooms/ few slices of chilli. customer service slack. Won't be back.

Great food. Great service! Been coming here for years. Love the all you can eat option. Would highly recommend.

Service is average at the best. No check back to see if my food was OK. I had pork chow mein noodles and cashew chicken. The noodles where quite good but the chicken tasted really funky (from past experiences it's had that taste of a food ready to go off) over all a really average expirience.

The food is excellent - unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Customer Service. You can only order and pay for delivery online by card if your address is very nearby (less than 4 miles) then you have to pay cash on delivery or, go and collect it!! This is not stated on their menu. Who uses cash post Covid? No-one.

We have used East Meets West for many years and wouldn't go anywhere else for Chinese/Thai food in St Austell! The food is always delicious.

Lovely food great service and very good value for money

Good service, food and friendly

Brilliant food and service. Highly recommended

We had amazing food and service last night thank you 🙏🏼 Everyone was friendly and we where served quickly and food arrived very hot and delicious Well done.

Absolutely love this Chinese! Been on many occasions! Such lovely food, staff very friendly.

Excellent food and delivery. We've ordered takeaway from here a few times now and have been very pleased each time. Long may it continue! We are looking forward to trying out the rest of the menu! 😃

Absolutely amazing, best Chinese around and the all you can eat is top notch and well worth a visit

Incredible 9/10 generous sizes and you can always take the rest home definitely recommend

The person who was working new years eve was rushed off her feet but still looked after us for the entire time we were there and provided a great service. The food was great too. Thank you!

Ordered food online at 6pm....food had not been delivered by 8pm...called and was told it would be delivered in 10-15mins....when is had still not arrived by 9pm tried calling again and eventually after 15minutes of trying to get through was told our food hadn't even been cooked! Whilst we appreciate it can be busy this is ridiculous!! Cancelled the order and had to settle for pizza instead 😢 will never use again!

All you can eat is absolutely delicious. My husband loves Chinese food and he really liked everything he tried. I am not fan of this kind of food but it was first time I tried so many dishes and every single one was very tasty. And banana fritters with ice cream was great finish to our lovely evening. Very polite and friendly lady who served us food and thank you to the Chef 🤗🎉

Nice food, terrible delivery, 2 hours late..!

Ordered for delivery, rice was cold, meat was tough and chewy, sweet and sour sauce was just sour and vinegary and the crispy chilli beef was soggy and drenched in that nasty sweet and sour sauce!! You would think clues in the name CRISPY!!.... Chilli beef . Really disappointing!!!

Fantastic would definitely recommend

Best all you can eat place I've been as all food prepared fresh and in small portions. Only reason it's not 4 stars is the 1970s decor.

Food is always great and staff are always lovely.

My partner took me here for my birthday yesterday and the service was slow and and the meat was really chewy, was not worth £20 per person for the all u can eat. The menu is tiny aswell not much to choose from !!

Booked table for 9.30 ,arrived at 9.15 to be told they ran out of food,bad management

Always good take away and quick delivery

Lovely place to eat in or Take Away. Eat all you want and charged per head. Drinks are charged separately. The Chinese food is very delicious and the staff are so welcoming. Parking is a bit tight.

Awful food, too much the sweet and sour was disgusting. Made my husband feel sick waste of money will never return

Apasoultely discusting. Received salt and pepper chicken that had been clearly reheated in plastic tub 3 to 4 times. Special fried rice disgusting. Healthy and safety needs to call to this place ASAP. Has to be the worst chinese I've ever been to.

Food is always really nice, especially their deep fried seaweed and the spicy honey dishes / crispy chilli beef. Only 4 stars cause it lacks a bit in terms of atmosphere.

Cash only buy great food friendly staff following all covid 19 restrictions

Unbelievably good food. The pork belly was excellent and the pineapple upside down cake was delicious. A top meal with a beautiful ambience and attentive and pleasant waitresses

Great food,great service could just do with a little ambiance upgrade but overall a definite 5 star.

Great buffet. Good value. Definitely recommend

Excellent food and value for money with all you can eat buffet for £15.95

Great food and staff! Really happy we found this place.

Great service,good food but decor was a little old and tired. Overall a great restraint with authentic Chinese food. Would recommend

Great service.. Nice food.. nothing was to much both.. happy family...

Pleasant place with nice friendly staff. Nice food.

Stunning take away. Hot and tasty

Great food can see why has high ratings only complant is the fixed price menu is only available for 2 or more people.

Felt service was too slow. I was there on a friday evening, the restaurant was hardly half full. I ordered egg fried rice and chicken balls. Which took 45 minutes to come out. I ordered a pint of coke at the same time that never arrived and had to order again the next time a lady came around. I was there for 1.5hours, by the time my first order came out there wasnt any point ordering again another 45minute wait, my taxi would have arrived by then. Definitely left feeling ripped off. It was all you can eat, so was charged £16. For my small amount of food. On a food note... the rice was quite nice,it was fluffy and not too greasy but the chicken had a chewy/rubbery texture. I've been here a few times,service is normally a little on the slow side but it seems to to be getting worse each time we go. Dont think I'll be attended again.

Always a great deal on the all you can eat!

Good food and excellent value for money on all you can eat nights.

Lovely!! Very good/nice staff , fab food , seating:table etc ... did the job ! Would definitely go again with a doubt .

Last night's meal wasn't up to its usual standards, I'm not sure what was going on but we had our main meal first then our starter came, my chow mein was very greasy and mum didn't enjoy her's either.

Great service and quick! Food was delishus . We had a takeaway but would be nice to eat in too!

Very lovely place, the staff is quick to respond and always making sure everything is alright; the food was yummy, delivered quickly and hot. 10/10 would come back again

Really nice hot food had share starter which was lovely only negative is I got thai noodles sidnt realise they was spicy maybe a better menu as some had chillies other that was spicy didnt

Got a take away perfectly ok would go back again if in town

Chicken balls overcooked and tasted off, I didn't eat them but hubby did and regretted it ! Went to restaurant to eat and when we asked for dessert menu we were told cleaning kitchen so no dessert available........ this was an hour before their closing time 😟😟 will never go back again!

Great food. Staff always friendly and attentive.

Very disappointed with the food that was delivered to us. After reading all the good reviews it certainly doesn't live up to them. Burnt chicken balls chips all scrag ends and dry over cooked. Curry sauces looked like something that came out a babies bum. Wouldnt recommend at all.

Best Chinese food I've eaten in a long while. Everything on the menu was excellent. And I should know, I ate everything on the menu.

Takeaway was a bit greasy but still very tasty

Food was good. Service was not and the menu was very limited now. Shame really used to be really good. Probably won't go back again.

Tasty food, fast service although I felt a little rushed!

Good food and service. A bit overpriced but tasty nonetheless.

very nice food. tasty. #goodvalueformoney

Absolutely wonderful food and service!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁

this was the first time I'd been here and i must say i throughly enjoyed it, the staff were always friendly and our food came very swiftly considering that there was 14 of us, i would recommend this restaurant.

Food is really good, and waitress Shirley is lovely

Beautiful food well worth the money

Top quality food, both in presentation and taste, staff are extremely friendly . Would strongly recommend to anyone in the area.

The take away we had was spot on,cant falt it in any way. Have been hear a couple times for a bit of a treat as i must admitt it is a bit better than our local Chinese 😱 😉😂🤣

Service quick and efficient, great vegan options, very happy

Welcoming & friendly staff, hadn't booked but had a table for two, all you could eat buffet, as in order from menu as much as you can eat. Freshly prepared & good food. Prices for food ok but drinks pricey. Ok atmosphere. Recommended

Great evening, good company, excellent food and service.

Food was excellent as was the service. Great place for a celebration

Food excellent best prawn toast I have had since moving here 2 yrs ago .Great value only downside restaurant a bit cold so need to wrap up warm .Will be going back again

Despite the place having quite a simple decoration, the food is very tasty. We ordered 5 different meals and liked each of them so much!
