Essence of the Orient in Stafford

Cons: Ambience lacking in something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Service was slow (to take drinks and food order and then a wait for food) and we were one of only two tables, the other table only having four people. We were in the restaurant 1 hour before getting any food. An apology was given and we were told they were busy with takeaway. A good restaurant can and will balance both. Luckily we weren’t starving but I felt frustrated that I probably would have got a takeaway here more quickly. Pros: They do a lamb and hot garlic garlic sauce which I swapped for chicken without problem. Portion sizes are perfect. Value for money. Food was beautiful, all freshly cooked and served hot. We did really enjoy our meals. Waitress was lovely. Tables in the restaurant are not crammed in. Good varied menu, lots of choice. Parking on Sainsburys car park right next door for £1.10 from 6pm-8am. Fussy son devoured his chow mein and his preference for no veg etc in the chow mein was not a problem at all. Overall, I do recommend Essence because the food was truly lovely, just be prepared for a wait for service and food as it deals with the take away service. Hence a 4* rather than 5* rating.

Best food I’ve ever had! 100% recommend! Their veggie spring rolls were to die for! I heard Niki Omilana from Beta Squad approves too and came here #biguptheNDL

Best Chinese ever, good service and atmosphere. Enjoy the food. We came as a group. Throughly enjoyed it. Will be back soon

Came as a group of friends and wasn’t disappointed. Set meal to share was excellent. Very tasty food and everything piping hot. Staff very friendly x

My last review was in 2018 and 6 years later it still has to be a 5!! I have had many nights dining in the restaurant with numerous friends and had various takeaways over the years since 2018 and still can not fault anything, from the welcome, the hospitality, the service you recieve to the amazing food they all serve! I could not recommend The Essence of the orient highly enough. Thank you to the proprietors and all of the staff that work there for making our nights, nights to remember! Keep up the good work and see you soon 🍜

Amazing food and brilliant service, nothing was too difficult for them. We were a group of 5! Had a set menu and it was brilliant with great portion sizes and real quality of food

Awesome service. Food was delicious, meat a good quality the meat on the ribs practically fell off the bone. All the food was piping hot

A must visit Chinese Restaurant in Stafford. The food here is absolutely amazing. The Wonton soup is the best soup I have ever tasted. Staff here are very friendly and helpful. Will be back soon to sample more choices from the menu.

So good to be back at The Essence of the Orient for a New Year treat! As always, the fresh, flavoursome food was matched by delightful service from Bennie and Cathy; fabulous chef Tony delivered a banquet of delight! For heaven's sake, if you fancy Chinese food, don't even think about anywhere else!

Fantastic food, great vegan and vegetarian options. Food was fresh and really good. Lovely and attentive staff. Merry Christmas

Lovely atmosphere, excellent food, pleasant and helpful staff. Highly recommended. Not over priced.

we had excellent food, great service, good value, very pleasant christmas eve meal highly recommend.

Fabulous food and service! You never disappoint- thank you ! All the family enjoyed it ! Definitely recommend. We will be back for sure !

A strange experience. Having booked a table for 6.30pm. I was surprised that we were the only people in the restaurant. Even more surprised due to the standard of food and excellent service. Chinese cuisine of a high standard. The lady looking after us was professional and friendly. Ribs, spring rolls and soup as starters were really well cooked and tasty. As were the main courses.

This is our go to take out and we’ve also eaten in a couple of times. The food is always fresh and full of flavour and the staff are always friendly. If you sit in there are different things on the menu. The squid in black bean is amazing and we’ve also tried the mussels in black bean which was delicious too.

I woke up and really wanted some chicken and I was so upset to see small toe nails in my chicken well done kids are crying now

I ordered a take-away from Essence of the Orient and was delighted to find that they included a large piece of hazardous string in a spring roll. What was even better is that when I phoned them for a full refund on the meal, they kindly offered £15 off the next order. Which I could not accept, as it was not what I was asking for. In the end, we parted ways. I won't be ordering from Essence of the Orient again - but you should - just think of what you could find in your meal?! Variety is the spice of life.

Had such a wonderful meal here for my friend's birthday. Service was friendly and efficient and the food was absolutely delicious. I was excited to see they had my favourite dish, mapo tofu, which I struggle to find in other Chinese restaurants in this town....

Excellent take away menu and prompt delivery, free prawn crackers included!! Can pay on receipt of order.

I ordered a takeaway Sunday night which arrived quickly. However, the food was really awful. I couldn’t eat most of it. What a shame - it was always good previously but not anymore.

This is absolutely the best Chinese restaurant in Stafford. Called in for a takeaway this time. Very friendly service, food prepared very quickly and delicious. Still piping hot on arriving home. Will definitely go back again. Really recommend the sliced beef with green peppers in black bean sauce.

nice venue, good decor, pleasant staff - but we both thought the food was just so bland and boring (safe). Cant think of a reason to go back again.

Absolutely love this place, go fairly regularly, the Salt and Pepper chilli ribs are a must. Lovely friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble.

This is our local Chinese restaurant, whether its take out or sit in the Essence is lovely as are the two lady managers who work there. Good Tofu choice for the vegetarians, but my favourite dish is the Salt and Pepper Chicken. I recommend a visit if in Stafford.

This is the second time my partner and I have ordered from this takeaway and both times we were very pleased with our choice.

Great selection on menu, but does miss some the usual "curries"...very good and attentive service by staff and very helpful...Poor atmosphere due to lighting and the lack of background music...expected staff to be oriental...all were English students, but that contributed to the excellent service... will go back because the food, hopefully atmosphere' lighting will improve.

We were recommended this restaurant by a regular customer and we loved it!

Just had a lovely meal at this restaurant. Great selection and beautifully presented and prepared food.

After looking through the menu we decided to try a set meat for 2 with an extra portion of noodles with beansprouts. Each course was delicious. The fillet beef was very tender and the king prawns were fresh and meaty. We had a bottle of red shiraz wine between us which was reasonably priced. Very good service. We will definitely be returning.

Great quality take away food and very helpful staff/management. Would recommend to family and friends.

Food here was really top notch as was the service. I think it has been recently refurbished and its very nicely done. The food really is top quality and not your standard fare either. Starters were lovely, followed by perfect duck and pancakes, the main courses and noodles were superb, very subtle flavouring and very authentic we thought.the service is excellent and its very reasonable as well including the wine and drinks. Excellent place.

Excellent service and food in a lovely restaurant. Had banquet C, and could not fault any of the food. Will definitely be going again.

I cannot fault our evening at this restaurant the food came out on time, staff friendly and food extremely good considering they had a very large party in. 10/10 for our evening and will definitely go back.

Good Chinese food i love the noodles and spring roll was so yummy good service and good food like it

Worst takeaway I,v ever had! Ordered a mixed satay special (after a lovely satay in restaurant a few weeks ago) It was just a poor Chinese curry with hint of peanut - the other choices were less than average - deffo not recommended and deffo wont eat there again and cant do minus star it deserves !

Never had take away nor a sit down meal here before. Last night we thought would try it.

Easy to park, great service, great choice of menu, great food great atmosphere, what’s not to like. Would definitely recommend.

Don’t normally write reviews on takeaways but this was spot on. I have eaten in the restaurant before and the food was good but as takeaways go this is exceptional. Crispy duck is the best ever and the portions and quality of food is great. Proper fillet beef and all the food tastes really fresh which for a takeaway is saying something.

Not had a takeaway here for a long time, but started to visit again since the refurb and the improved hygiene rating which is now an impressive 5. Have enjoyed our recent takeaways from this restaurant, not had an issue with food temperature, but we live locally so food doesn't travel far. The chicken chow mien is delicious with tender chicken and plenty of it

We had dinner here while visiting stafford, it's right next to the Sainsbury. We had fillet steak and it was superb!!! Highly recommended! Staff were friendly and on hand. Great dinner out!

We have been using this restaurant for years now and have always been happy with it. Last Saturday we found...

Comida casi frío. No es tan bonito como mi comida para llevar normales. Salsa barbacoa sabe raro. No volvería. Yo NO PARA CALENTAR LA COMIDA DE MI! ! !

Excelente comida, excelente personal y reformas super-recomiendo los menús; que decidí por menú C 😊

Sofisticado, renovación contemporáneo con un servicio maravilloso y la comida fabulosa. . . La mejor comida china. kilómetros y altamente recomendado

Siempre hemos disfrutado yendo a la esencia como el servicio y el ambiente ha sido siempre encantadora. El personal es muy amable y muy buena e informativa sobre platos que hemos elegido. Siempre cambiar comidas en el menú si lo pides y no son ocupados para hacerlo. Han restaurado el interior que es precioso, y ahora también en el exterior. La comida es magnífica, como siempre, y estamos ansiosos de más platos nuevos que van a aparecer muy pronto

We were regular visitors to the restaurant, the best Chinese food in the area........then the refurb started and the meals reduced in portion size and increased in price. We visited the restaurant again last week to give it another chance. Well, the food was awful.....everything covered in large quantities of fresh coriander. I asked if there was a different chef on that evening to be told no it is the same chef but he likes to make food nice and try different herbs and spices. We wont be going back to this restaurant again.

We've finally found a good Chinese takeaway!!! Delivery was quick and food arrived hot and was delicious!! Will definitely be our new favourite place to go.

Honestly the best Chinese food I have had for a long time. The staff are welcoming and attentive, the newly renovated restaurant looks stunning and the food is DELICIOUS. I definitely recommend going there. I have tried their delivery and takeaway service too and that is very good, quick service and great food. I went to the golden orient restaurant last week and it doesn't even compare, the food is so low quality, but I guess that explains why it's so cheap.

Ordered a takeaway tonight (28/01/17) at 7.30 pm, 9.15 pm still no meal, rang them to be told its gonna be a least another 20 minutes!!!!!!!!! The lady apologised and said that the restaurant was very busy which I accept, However, what makes a 'sit down' customer more important than a customer who has ordered a takeaway???When asked if I could have a discount on my order I was told I could either 'cancel the order' or 'be patient and wait'. I'm disgusted with how I was treated and will never ever order from there again, I've been a loyal customer of theirs for many many years whom I've recommended to family, friends and colleagues, but unfortunately, as i was not sat in their restaurant this evening my loyal custom was pushed to the back of the queue. WILL NEVER USE AGAIN!!!!!!!

After placing an order for a home delivery at around 7.55pm, we were told it would be between 25 to 30 minutes. It didn't arrive till 9.05pm!! The boiled rice was stone cold, as were the sweet and sour chicken balls (also tasted horrible). Other items were just about warm. Everything was of a much lower standard that we normally have. I do hope this will not be a reoccurring issue!

I ordered take away from this resturant and i gave my postcode and i ordered 3 dishes wich i had guess and the forgot to bring my food and when i called them back they were close

Used many times before, this was the least best experience, food average and small portions, not value for money, very inexperienced staff, overall very disappointed, will not be going again for a long time.

It's been a few years since I last visited The Essence and now after a refurbish I would recommend a visit to anyone in the area. Service was attentive without being overbearing, warm plates and food warmers ensured the food served kept warm.Excellent quality meats in the dishes ordered, especially the duck which was beautiful and tender.Will definitely return.

Unfortunately they were in the middle of a refurbishment, quite a cold atmosphere but sure it will be fine once completed. The meats we had in the sauces were lovely but the actual sauces seemed to from a jar. The staff were great, very attentive.

Had an absolutely beautiful Chinese meal from the banquet range. The food was absolutely gorgeous and full of flavour. The ingredients were fresh and complimentary to one another. The staff were super attentive.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this venue. Superb service and food all round!

Not only is this in my top three Chinese restaurants of all time - globally - it's just been refurbished so it looks AMAZING!Very friendly staff, exquisite food, very reasonably priced. Park in Sainsbury's car park and walk over for free parking.

Love this place! The food is always great and the takeaways are too, food arrives quickly and the service is great.

We were one of two tables in on a Wednesday night, despite this, we didn't feel overlooked or uncomfortable. The food was served promptly with excellent presentation which matched the gorgeous taste. We left overly full as we could not stop eating. Nice sized portions, and the mixed starters and buffets are available for 2 persons which is good, it gave us a good selection which is sometimes missing when there are only the two of you.

Never used this takeaway before and will not use it again! The beef was like leather and everything was swimming in an awful sauce.

I cannot understand how this restaurant has any poor reviews. I have tried this many times and the food had always been excellent. Being a cook myself I do know good food. Although i must admit the only thing that sometimes lets the meal down is the chips but salt and pepper chips are much better.

Quite good food, above average although not special. The restaurant is being refurbished so this has to be taken into account. parking is good because backs onto a supermarket car park. I think when finished it will become good.

I could not recommend this restaurant more.The food was delicious. There was a great selection of vegetarian options and myself and my grandmother had a 4 course vegetarian menu, such great value and extremely filling.The service was a little slow but the restaurant was extremely busy and when t he staff did serve us they were extremely friendly and warm.

Fantastic food at good prices delivered in super quick time red hot to your door with decent portions always enjoyed

We haven't eaten at the Restaurant have had deliveries and take a ways. Deliveries are quick and hot when they arrive, when we have called for a takeaway, the owner has gone out of his way to chat to us and tell of his plans to extend and the trials of being located near to a listed building. There are two car parks near (free after 18:30). When we 'fancy' a chinese, this is always our first choice.

So, when I moved to Stafford, I obviously had to find a good Chinese...seeing as it's pretty much my favourite cuisine. Fancied a takeaway so thought I'd try Essence.Ordered a typical, single man meal...egg friend rice, salt and chilli chicken, satay sauce - and most importantly - salt and pepper chips (one of the greatest ideas of the modern world).Long story short, get home, chips were FIT (chicken was dry, it was bare - as in, wasn't battered like usual), anyway that's by the by.Few weeks go by, time for a takeaway.This time round, the chips were raw as raw an be, proper soggy...pretty inedible. You give a place a pass though, can't always be exactly the same each time.Next occasion, I ask them at the till "can I have them well done please".Outcome - undercooked again. Third time I'm there, I've gone with my brother.Ordered Cantonese sauce, rice, chicken balls with bbq sauce, salt and pepper chips (as always) and a few other bits maybe. Gets back, half the order was wrong. So we hit Bamboo Garden and reordered everything.In all fairness I'm quite surprised I went back tonight, but you always want to believe it's going to be great.Flat out said "really well done" for my chips. Got in the car, had a gander...hard chips, plain as plain, mush. Didn't go back in, figured the best thing, is to just not go back at all.Really sorry to say, but I wouldn't recommend the place. Shame after the first time because I thought I'd found a right treat.

One of our regular haunts. Typical Chinese restaurant but with a good menu, good food, and good value. Watch out for the "average" service from poorly trained staff though, make sure they are aware of what you are ordering!

Food really good but despite what seems to be a recent coat of paint the surroundings are tired, carpet in need of replacement or cleaning and generally in need of some care. Young team of staff tried too hard, wanting to take plates away before the finished eating it was as if the management wanted people in and out quickly. Such a shame as the food is good but experience as a whole disappointing

We have eaten here many times and the food food is always great. The prawn crackers are the best I have tasted and great portion sizes

Good menu, good food, good service, what's not to like? Well worth a visit. Not too pricey either so good value for money.

Sadly last year this restaurant didn't put on a special Chinese New Year celebration, which is a shame because the year before it was fabulous. We went as a family (sulky teenage son included) and had a huge amount of fun along with our superb dinner. The place was packed out with pre-booked customers and we weren't disappointed, right down to chinese dragon dancers meeting us on the way in, and later, entertaining us with the traditional show. Later we were treated to, of all things, a very good Sinatra impersonator..who was the best we'd ever heard, and after him, a disco. Aforementioned son is now a 'gunpowder' tea fan, and has decided that going out with your parents is not always torture. I presume this all cost the owner a lot of money, hence it not being repeated this year, but if they ever decide to do it again - get your tickets early!Oh, and the food is always great, whenever you go : )

This Restaurant is well sited - visible from main roads and with a public car park adjacent. Staff were willing and cheerful but would benefit from a higher standard of training so that used chopsticks and hand wipes are not left on the table, glasses are not plonked in front of you held in such a way that waitress fingers are inside the glass (very off putting) and the carpet around tables is cleared of old food debris. The toilets desperately need refurbishing; they are frankly sub standard. The food, however, was delicious. This could be one of Stafford's gems if the attention paid to the food was also applied to the premises.

Not being a big fan of Indian restaurants i did have my reservations but the food, atmosphere, service were all excellent. This is a great venue for a small to average party and it was a great night.

Have been coming here with my family ever since it opened. When it first opened it was definitely one of the best restaurants in Stafford, slowly over the years we stopped visiting as often and started just having takeaways from here. The food quality has never changed, it has always been excellent.Me and my family visited here the other day and it has to be said we were very disappointed with the place itself (again the food quality was still top notch) it felt very old and in need of a refurb (which is scheduled apparently) the staff need to learn some basic hygiene, When placing bowls on tables there is NO reason why staff fingers should be in it; basic training teaches this... Again the same with coffee cups, fingers should NOT be on the rim of the cup going into the customers drink! It's disgusting, and off-putting for the customer; my aunt asked for a new coffee and drew attention to this issue. Also when ordering a round of drinks it doesn't necessarily mean we have finished with our current drink, check before putting your hand in the glass and taking it away!! I think as well as the refurb, staff training sessions are a definite must! Hygiene is one of the main points that customers pick up on, and bad reviews soon travel.

I have been to this resturant for in excess of 10 years i know the owners very well, i would like to say the food is very good. The resturant is going to be refurbished after christmas which is good, the only down point and i hope the owners dont mind me saying is they have alot of new staff and they could fo with some more training and learn to relax lol. I love this resturant and i have never had a bad meal. Keep the standards high and i will see you both again soon

Me and my husband have been here many times years ago when we first started dating so we thought we would re visit again the week before we were due to get married. In previous years the ambience was lovely relaxed warm and welcoming. But this visit was a disappointment! The restaurant was dead hardly anyone was there the carpet is well over due a change its sticky and looks terrible! As for the rest of the building its very much out dated now. It very much lacked the warm inviting welcome that we used to get.! We were seated and asked if we would like drink my partner had a coke and I wanted a glass of rose wine to be told when the waitress came back they only do it by the bottle this is very disappointing as I don't think you should only be able to do this so I had to settle for a magners as I didn't want to purchase a whole bottle to myself ! The waitresses and waiters are young and I don't have anything against that but they were messing about in our view which is unprofessional and shouldn't be allowed I just feel it's lost it's wow factor. Prawn crackers were stale ! Only good thing about the visit was the food which was lovely but everything else let the visit down which is a shame! I don't think I will return until there has been a revamp or a change in owner.

Food is very good and well cooked with various choices. Just watch your drinks bill if eating in. Take always and deliveries are very quick and food arrives piping hot

We had a takeaway on friday 11 December. It was the worst meals we have ever had. The lamb kung po was a brown dried up mess. Really unappetising and went straight in the bin. We expected good quality as it was a restaurant but not the case. Not using them again. Wish we had took a photo. Seeing is believing.

I wouldn't normally complain about a takeaway from a Chinese, but this was so bad others have to be warned, I am fuming! I've had this place recommended to me by locals on many occasions, so recently on a visit to the town I decided to get a meal to go as "a treat". Someone is having a laugh here and it isn't me! I bought a good selection of food (to share, I'm not an animal) and for starters it cost me IN EXCESS of forty quid! I know when I'm being taken for a ride so despite the sound of a lot of pots and pans being slung about out of sight (presumably in an imaginary kitchen) THERE WAS NO FRESHLY COOKED FOOD WHATSOEVER, and that is straight up. Let me give an idea of what we are talking about here. Crispy duck, not crispy, cold, old and tasting slightly sour (like sick in the back of the throat). The only commendable thing was that the cucumber had come out of the fridge, possibly. Spare ribs in "Capital" sauce. These bad boys had been hanging around so long Tollund man was licking his lips. Tough, dry, with an exoskeleton! In a sauce that was so oily Red Adair (RIP) wouldn't have been able to tackle them. Crispy beef. The single worst dish I have ever had from a Chinese restaurant. Floppy, limp, served in what looked like red Araldite and on the turn people. Singapore Noodles. No spice, no chilli, no curry flavour, thick bulbous noodles like white varicose veins (come on guys these are supposed rice vermicelli!!). Simply lazy, awful "cooking"! Chicken with cashew nuts, normally my favourite dish - I felt violated by this offering - old soft nuts served with nondescript lumps of protein with veg peelings, may have been chicken may have been polystyrene. I can't comment on the Sweet & Sour chicken (Cantonese style) BECAUSE IT WAS MISSING! I asked for "special fried rice" but got fobbed off with some other "special" old tut that was probably destined for the compost bin. On the up side the prawn crackers were OK. Look, people of Stafford avoid this "restaurant" like the plague, if you give them any more of your money you must be printing your own! To sum up, an expensive, inedible and possibly dangerous offering that shames takeaway outlets everywhere. Complete rubbish.

I have to agree with TomSam10, the food was Sloppy.This was quite simply the most disappointing Chinese 'takeaway' I have ever had.From the time of ordering to the food being ready was about 3 minutesso I cannot see how this was possibly cooked fresh. Took it home then very nearly 'took it back'..... certainly couldn't eat it.

We came to Essence of the Orient to celebrate my fathers 75th birthday. I had been to the restaurant before but not for a number of years. Whilst the food was good, the ambience of the restaurant was a little tired and neglected. That said, the waitress did say they were having a refurbishment after Xmas. For me this is long overdue so hopefully for my next visit there will be no complaints. The food is always good as we generally call in here for our takeaways.

I was just off the train after a busy day in London. We were celebrating my son's birthday and the location was perfect. The problem was that the meal just didn't match the cost. We had a number of tasty dishes that appeared as part of the deal but it just wasn't worth the money.

Three of us visited on a Friday night. We visit Stafford every year in October but this was our first time at the Essence.The place has a large dining area with tables openly spaced so you are not cramped and listening to your neighbours. As others have mentioned the decor could do with a freshen up but it was clean.Service was fine, the menu is not the most varied I have seen in a Chinese restaurant but the food was tasty and portion size very good.Three of us had drinks starters main meat dish and rice/noodles each for less than £20 per headIt is hard to rate a typical ChineseRestaurant which is one in many thousands in the UK so I have given an average though I have used many that rate lower.

We ordered takeaway from this restaurant for the first time and was not disappointed. It arrived after 40 minutes and was very hot, which makes a change for takaways. The food tasted very fresh. Well recommended!

At last we have found a really good Chinese from which to have take away's and they deliver. The food is always good and arrives really quickly

The food here is so good it really is worth over looking the fact it could do with a refurb. There's plenty of food in the £15 set menu and they're happy to swap any dish you're not keen on. Service is quick and the waiting on staff are lovely and helpful.

Food good, staff excellent really pleasant so it's such a shame about the restaurant surroundings a refurbishment is long overdue, it would make an average experience into a special night out

Yes Yes Yes. If your looking for a Chinese look no further I like this place. Staff are happy and friendly the whole dining experience is nice. Price is good the interior could do with a spring clean but the food is really really good. Take away and delivery service available also quality.
