We used to use the Ocean Chinese takeaway regularly until a couple of years ago but after a couple of bad meals we stopped using them. After reading some recent reviews we thought we would try it again but Iâm afraid the food has not improved at all. It is so overcooked the chicken in the chow mein has turned to mush and all the vegetables, instead of being crunchy and fresh taste slimy and overcooked. We also had some BBQ spare ribs which were rock hard to chew. We ended up throwing most of it away and for over ÂŁ21 paid, itâs a lot of money to waste, wonât be using it anymore, will go up to the Chinese in Easton Square which actually is very good.

I have been going to this Chinese takeaway for over 30 years! My favourite dish has always been Roast Duck with King Prawn stuffing in Oyster Sauce. It has always been excellent with lots of prawn and a full breast of duck neatly sliced. However, the last two times ( yesterday being the most recent) the meal has changed completely. Very little prawn stuffing and just a few lumps of gristly duck skin and gristle. The accompanying BBQ spare ribs were also poor - dry and very little meat. What's going on East Ocean?? You have lost a good regular customer!

We have been going to the East Ocean for 15 years and think itâs great! Tasty food, good portions, good staff- and a good price. Canât ask for anything else from a takeaway! We regularly have Special Fried Rice; Sweet and Sour Chicken; Chicken and Cashew nuts and Chicken Chow Mein. I canât comment on everything on the menu but the dishes that we have had have been delicious!

East Ocean is a reliable takeaway which never fails to supply excellent food at great value. The menu is extensive and service is usually very prompt.

I had the char sui pork noodle dish, what a mistake - plenty of pork but the rest was just carrots and MSG, so much MSG dry mouth all night , really cannot recommend this takeaway they'd be out of business in days if they served this in Manchester.

Visiting my daughter and son in law for the first time since they moved in to the area, my son in law popped down here to pick up- a selection of dishes for when we arrived after a long journey due a couple of motorways being shut between Mansfield and our destination. The food was excellent and of generous portions for 5 of us..This place id a def 5 star and will come back here again next time we are up here

Shredded beef with chilli was a block of solid red jellied slop, tasting awful. the rice was all stuck together and a dirty brown , it had been heated up in the microwave. This is by far the worst Chinese Iâve ever had.

East ocean is by far, the best takeaway in the kirkham/Wesham/Wrea green area. The food is always outstandingly tasty and the staff are always highly friendly! They have a very large variety of choice, at a reasonable price. I tend to order over the phone, to save waiting as it can sometimes get busy! The only little negative is that East Ocean only accepts cash, not card, however thereâs a cash machine a few seconds up the road if needed. In particular, the seaweed, salt and pepper chips and sweet and sour chicken are amazing!

I used to work at east ocean many years ago and have been eating from there since then do in 16 years I have never had a bad meal and never had bad experience with staff (although some are abit dopey at times) and there is a reason why that take away is always busy if you have never been I highly reccomend tying for yourself and not listening to other people's reviews as they are talking rubbish for example I saw 1 about not getting discount for ordering early and I know that east ocean has never give discount for that reason and people complaining about price it does seem more expensive than others but others don't have rice or chips included in price so once that's added east ocean is also competitive price wize and when you see 1 person giving multiple bad reviews it seems as if there just doing if for the sake of it so try yourself and I'm sure you will enjoy your food at good price. There is a reason why the same people have run east ocean for the last 20+ years and it's not because the food is crap and bad service

Negative reviews nearly put me off ordering from here but honestly this is the best Chinese Iâve ever had & I am very particular!! We popped in to order, food was ready in twenty min max & it was a large order for 6 people. They serve the food in the large foil trays (not the slim plastic ones most use) which gave us plenty of hot tasty flavoursome food!! The food was cooked fresh & served piping hot, very tasty & didnât give us the usual dehydrated feeling which most Chinese places do where I live (in the Midlands). We loved it so much we had two orders from here during our weeks stay at Ribby Hall. Highly recommended & will be back to order when we return in August

Staying close by and used TA to find a decent Chinese. Really disappointed... chips were awful... frozen kind that still taste frozen, not fresh. The crispy spring rolls were of a similar processed taste to the chips and only two in a portion. The chicken and mushroom had hardly any mushrooms and no vegetables at all so basically a sauce with chicken and very few mushrooms. Don't bother going!

We chose this takeaway because our usual chinese takeaway was closed and one of our sons enjoys the chicken curry when he visits us. Perhaps we should have had that. The kung po chicken and chicken chow mein were distinctly average and lacking taste (except for salt). On the plus side - it was reasonably busy when we called in and the food was ready pretty much to the timescale they promised. We will not rush back.

You have to wait an eternity for food, which at best is mediocre when it does finally arrive. I think the food is expensive for what you get but there is never an excuse for rude cheeky staff. When I ordered through she took the order, asked if I wanted anything else, said "45 minutes" then put the phone down. They either need re-training (if they've had any at all I'd be surprised) or sacking. One or the other. I've sat there while the staff have been ruse and seen it first hand, there is never an excuse.

Being new to the area we decided to try a new Chinese takeaway and based on trip advisor reviews we tried east ocean in kirkham. Bearing in mind the advice from various reviews we placed a telephone order. We were told our order would take between 30 to 40 minutes. I got to the takeaway after 35 minutes and 30 minutes later our order was ready. One hour and five minutes is a long time to wait for an order in particular when the staff didn't apologise for the long wait. In my opinion it's just courtesy that if you've been waiting twice as long As you were told, to at least say sorry for your wait! The food itself was hot and in my opinion just standard and not good enough for me to go again and wait for such a long time. The hot and sour soup wasn't well balanced and was over peppery and the shredded beef was very gloopy and the Singapore rice was mushy and quite tasteless.So sadly our journey to find our new local Chinese takeaway will continue .

My family has patronised East Ocean for a very long time and the reason is the efficiency of the pre - booked takeaway service.Always best to phone the order through in advance and if they say 20 minutes then 20 minutes it is.The menu is comprehensive and good value. Food hygiene standards are high and the staff are friendly and helpful.The waiting area may appear busy but if you are punctual when collecting your order it will be ready and you get served ahead of passing casual customers.

We are staying at Ribby Hall and these put their menu in the reception. After a long day we fancied a takeaway. The satay skewers were disgusting, the chips were shop bought frozen ones dropped on a fryer and the rice was brown and mushy. Probably one of the worst meals I've ever had.

We went here on Fridaynight after looking on Google for takeaways, and this was was less than a mile and a half from Ribby Hall in Lytham. We got in at 5.30 and there was only one other person in, but when we left it was full, and the phone was constantly ringing. So if you go I strongly recommend you ring them to place an order, otherwise you could have a long wait ! But it was very tasty........

As locals we visit East Ocean on a regular basis. The food is always hot, tasty and reasonably price.We always pre order and seldom have to wait more than a couple of minutes to collect.It has to be said that counter - staff with a better command of English would assist at busy times, but the chefs always muddle through with a smile when serving at the sharp end.By far the best outlet on a main street overloaded with fast food outlets.

We stayed in Ribby Hall Village, they do not deliver but were only a five minute drive. Reasonable price, although they did not do some dishes I would expect a Chinese to do, such as Yuk Shung.The main dishes were all quite good, plenty of ginger in them, which I did not mind. The spring rolls were just bean sprouts and bits of chicken so were quite bland.
