East Ocean Peking and Cantonese Food Take Away in Milton Keynes

awful food, the lady at the front was rude and disrespectful. all the jewlery she wears while giving me my food is not okay. leaving her vape sat on show when we come in the shop is not good

the young girl with dark brown hair has disgusting attitude just now shouted at a elderly lady and young lady to get a new card as the young lady hadn’t entered it into the card reader properly (the worker) so it’s there for her fault and the elderly women has just left in tears bless her i always get food from here but i won’t be anymore.

At one time this was best Chinese in miltonkeynes I'm afraid to say it is one of the bottom ones now very expensive for bland food every time you go there even when you order on phone there is a long wait I suggest you bring SAM back it was first class then

Awful food containing foreign objects. Rude manager and chef both with zero customer service. Would not recommend to anybody we certainty wouldn’t eat food from here again.

The only Chinese I will go too, and completely let down on our visit last Thursday evening. It was absolutely dead, so expected good quality food. It was so bland, tasted of nothing.. the rice just tasted of water. Such a huge disappointment as now I don’t want to throw another £40 away, and won’t return.

This is my regular Chinese takeaway and in my opinion one of the best in Milton Keynes. Definitely well worth a try if living in or near the Newport Parnell area. It is worth noting that orders are collection only.

We ordered four different dishes ans unfortunately none of them had any flavour. Nice, friendly service but unfortunately the food just didn’t live up to it. One family member commented it was the worst Chinese takeaway they’d had.

We would use this restaurant all the time, the food is second to non. But the collection process lets it down. They give you a time but you alway end up waiting 15-20 mins longer. Why they do not use a delivery service I do not know, We just had a delivery (just Eat) old China. The food was not good, but we use it because they deliver! East Ocean ..... "Get your finger out and start deliveries!"

Well what a shame , after a bad take a way last time thought we would give it another chance , unfortunately my meal crispy beef was full of sugar , tasted like , candy floss ! And the chop suey was just bamboo shoots , wasn’t good either . My husband’s chow main was o k ! Won’t be going back !!!... ☹️

What started out well, with a friendly and polite young man behind the counter turned into disappointment with less than satisfactory food and poor customer service when I called back about it. We only ordered Crispy Chill Beef, Plain Chow Mein, Egg Fried Rice and crispy Seaweed - which came to £17.50 - more expensive than any of our regular Chinese takeaways. The Chilli Beef (the main of the meal) was dry on top and almost completely congealed in crystallised sugar at the bottom when we tried to stir it through. I understand it is a sweet syrupy sauce but this was solid unlike any I’ve seen before. So much so I called back to complain to be told I’d have to bring it back, when I had pictures and clearly wasn’t trying to pull a fast one. The young guy was apologetic but just kept saying chef says you’ll have to bring it back, when the remanence of our dinner would then have been totally cold. Agreed to bring it back tomorrow, which is just nuts for the sake of their customer service, what’s the point. Only went here because our regular was closed, won’t be going again. Very disappointing. Imperial Garden is much better.

Never had a bad experience with this Newport Pagnell take away and these dishes: • Shredded Chilli Beef • Lamb in black pepper sauce • Honey Ribs • King Prawns in sauce • Quarter Duck I live locally and buy for myself, partner and 2 kids. Someone is complaining about the Mongolian lamb in another review. They correctly describe it as fairly dry shredded lamb that comes with a watery hot sauce with chilli. I find it delicious :-) but I wouldn't choose that to eat on its own. As the price is inexpensive for the main dishes, I normally buy a few and share. It's perfect for my family. It's a good value take away. Reliably tasty. Best Chinese take away in Milton Keynes to my knowledge and I've been here many years and been to a few in Stony, Wolverton and Bletchley. Friendly and swift service. Recommend it. They don't deliver, but it's worth a short wait, or order over the phone to cut your wait...

Friendly staff, great range of dishes something for all the family. We prefer the food here as we have found it more consistent than Imperial Garden. Just consistent dishes, more flavour, better quality & quantity of core ingredients, good portion sizes. We've been using for over 30yrs.

We ordered the special menu, there was no background music, the staff were not very well dressed in fact scruffy, the food was not up to standard, we have eaten there a few times in the past the standards have certainly dropped, but the prices have risen, will not return.

Gone to east ocean for 10+ years - food never disappoints Quick and easy service I just wish they had a restaurant

Food gave me explosive poops. Was crazy. Food was also quite bland and chewy. Imperial garden next to it is much better

I speak as a huge fan of Chinese food, and having visited numerous restaurants including takeaways in the MK area, I feel qualified to make the honest comments posted here. This was the first time I've been here and I'm afraid I will not return. The Szechuan beef consisted of tender pieces of meat and two small pieces of spring onion. That was it. Other restaurants include a couple of perhaps green pepper, celery, bamboo shoots and onion - and lots of chillies. The sauce was awful -gloopy and not at all enjoyable. The Mongolian lamb, which at other places has a spicy sauce with onions and peppers water chestnuts etc,was instead deep fried strips of frazzled chewy meat, with a small container of watery sauce with bits of chillies and spring onion. It wasn't actually a meal. It was very busy when I went so they clearly have their regulars but perhaps they go for convenience when walking home, rather than for any thought to the quality and taste of the food.

This doesnt even need much of a review. Have been coming here for well over 15 years, and the standard has always remained the same. FANTASTIC. 100% best chinese take away in town, only wish they would offer a delivery service :)

I recently started using this place but now i will never go back due to a short sighted young manager. I bought some chicken strips (sweet and sour) yesterday and found them very dry and chewy like they had been cooked twice, the cat wouldnt even eat it. I went back tonight with part of the meal and explained what was wrong to the manager serving and he just shrugged his shoulders and said he would tell the chef. I tried to suggest that maybe he could do more than that like another attempt at the same dish but he said he wasnt going to do anything. i wasnt happy with this response so i said ok if you dont do anything i can do something and he said whats that.....i just said i wont back then, and he said thats ok and i said no its not because you will lose a customer and he said he didnt care........jez what sort of place is this that doesnt care for their customers.

I have, for years, had the sweet and sour chicken strips from East Ocean. The only downside is that now I can never order it anywhere I go because it is a poor second to the ones from East Ocean.

Used to use this Chinese takeaway when i lived in the area and loved the food, amazing honey ribs and the best Chinese Curry i've ever tastedSadly i've moved away but always call in when i'm passing and buy a couple of meals to freeze it's that good

This is the best Chinese take away for miles. Highlights are the salt and pepper chicken starter and chow mein. Always friendly and hot food.

The food was amazing! Chips were great to! I recommend this take away to my friends and family! Great tasting and great service!

Me and my partner really enjoy this chinese takeaway. Chicken curry is so tasty! Pleasant & friendly staff members. Would be nice if they included prawn crackers as a complimentary side...maybe something to think about. 8/10 from us

Si estamos teniendo un chino siempre le pide de este océano. La comida es de gran calidad, están bastante contentos de cambiar cosas para nosotros ya que mi marido prefiere salsa de curry más dulce y amarga, así que nos dará el pollo con salsa de curry. La comida es siempre caliente, abundante en su tamaño de las porciones y el personal es amable al colocar y recoger pedidos. Y he recomendado este lugar regularmente.

La comida es simplemente fantástico, habiendo ido sus durante años y nunca tuvimos un plato mal. El servicio es rápido y el personal muy amable. Newport Pagnell High Street es la suerte de tener dos excelentes para llevar chino situado dentro de ella. Mucho la pena una visita

No puedo creer la puntuación más humildes, para East Ocean en Tripadvisor. Mi esposa y yo hemos estado utilizando esta comida para llevar comida china por más años de los que puedo recordar. Hemos vivido en MK desde 1983 y salir de nuestra manera de hacer uso de este para llevar. Pedido por teléfono, entrad en el Dolphin al otro lado de la carretera para tomar una copa rápida y recoger su pedido. En muchos años sólo han fallado. Eso es lo que yo llamo una crítica sincera. La comida es excelente, grande, buen langostinos pollo y carne que sabe como filete, pero supongo que no lo es.

Realmente recomiendo probar la comida absolutamente deliciosa que ofrecen. En la parte superior de que el personal es muy amable y acogedor. Incluso cuando están ocupados, sirven sus comidas en los mejores estándares. Probar su comida es un deber! 5 Estrellas

Recientemente, al norte de Milton Keynes residió mi primer pensamiento como muchos nuevos dueño era dónde está mi pub local? Esto sucedió en Newport Pagnell y suerte me encontré con este océano por la High Street. Al día siguiente tenías un chino ya tener la noche anterior, decidí probar este océano en vez de trekking al otro lado de Milton Keynes a mi habitual para llevar chino. Siendo un sábado por la noche estaba bastante concurrida, pero fui atendida rápidamente y disfrutamos de una conversación con el tío detrás de la factura. Después de unos 10 minutos mi pedido estaba preparado a mi estómago y paladar, nariz hormigueo de emoción. Cuando volvimos a casa la comida era deliciosa y cálida y estuvo a la altura de todo lo que había esperado. Recomiendo encarecidamente este chino para llevar a cualquiera que busque una sabrosa comida.

Fantástico, he pedido para llevar desde aquí durante años y nunca he tenido una mala comida. Personal amable y buena comida.

Tried this as our regular Chinese take away is temporarily closed and had had reasonably good food from East Ocean before. Got a massive shock when what would've cost a shade over £20 at my usual, cost over £30 here.The food was just lukewarm,insipid and greasy and three very disappointed people were left hungry. Comment of the night..."I wouldn't feed it to my dog."

Use East Ocean on a regular basis and never have any issues. Consistently good food, and always very quick, even when it is very busy. Never had a bad experience, and recommend highly.

I have been eating here 3out of 4 Friday's for the last year since we moved into Newport Pagnell. Tonight I ordered Chicken Strips and Sweat n Sour sauce. To say they were disgusting is an understatement. I have not had a bad dish from them before so thought they would welcome my feed back. Before I even finished telling him how bad it was he said OK I will let them know and put the phone down. No apology no offer of my money back or a replacement. Which to be honest I was not after. I am leaving this post as their dealing of my complaint was met with complete contempt . For that reason they have just lost my business and I will be sure to pass the word. And before you ask it was the owner I spoke to so no point in contacting the management.

We'd not been to a Chinese take out for a while and went back to our previously favoured Chinese take away. We had two of the curry dishes with rice and chips both of which were very good and better/healthier than Indians. Ready in 15mins and always served with passion and a smile. We'll be back for sure

Stone cold food, tasted bland. Ordered half duck got no meat just burnt chewy fat. Also got two sweet sour chicken & deep fried to death. Even the sauce was tangy! Oh & dont forget the chips. More like batter bit. Complete waste £45

The East Ocean was always my Chinese take out of choice. However, the last couple of times I went there the quality has really taken a dive. My last meal was awful. It tasted like the fryer hadn't gad an oil change for months. I threw the food in the bin. I doubt I will return which is unfortunate since the food used to be so good.

The meat is lovely and lean, and good quality also. The vegetables are fresh and crispy. Very tasty. Rice, noodles etc are not overcooked stodge as I find with other takeaway. Have used here regularly.

We decided to get take out last night and called in our order. Confirmed the price on the phone but they had added another £3 before we arrived to collect. I think the fact that I asked my wife why she had not ordered a curry tells the story.The food was completely tasteless and I mean completely. Everything was cold and we live 5 minutes away by car.We had used this place before with no issues but this time it was horrible! Avoid at all costs.The only item I could taste were the chips which I seasoned myself.

Have used this take away several times and has always been acceptable until last night. Food was cold even though my husband had to sit and wait for it for 10 minutes and we only live down the road, fried chicken in batter was soggy and tasteless, butterfly prawns were overcooked, the chicken in black bean was also tough, tasteless and inedible and the seaweed was soft not crispy. Phoned to complain, told everything was hot and cooked properly and that they were not prepared to take our complaint seriously-Will not be returning.

Over very many years we have enjoyed trying food from different take away food restaurants in and around MK ...... and we can't help but always compare them to our local, East Ocean in Newport lol Taste is a funny thing - we all have our own specific tastes. Tasty food is a biggy / a priority in our house! We have been eating food prepared at East Ocean for many years now, it's our winner for consistently tasty, quality food & friendly service :-) It can be very busy here so we tend to phone our orders thru & collect at a set time.

This is our favourite take away in town, it is well known as the best in Newport by far. My boyfriend is celiac and I am vegetarian and there is lots we can chose from. He says the meat is excellent quality, especially the chicken. Everyone who works there has always been very friendly and helpful. We won't go anywhere else for Chinese food now.

Ordered a special fried rice dish which should have had mixed meats in. Took a while but we assumed it was because they must be busy. When we got home we found that we actually had a container full of very bland, boiled rice and very little meat (like 3 small pieces). When we rang them up to say could we come back and get what we ordered we were bluntly told that no we couldn't, that despite what we thought the rice was fried and there was lots of meat in there but we probably couldn't see it because they "do chop the meat quite finely". The other dish we had ordered wasn't much cop either - Beef was so chewy that it was difficult to eat and I couldn't finish it.Extremely disappointed, insulted, and felt cheated. Shall not go back again.
