Gourmet Oriental in City of London, Westminster

All three dishes were large portions of rice with a very small bit of the main course on top in a thin layer - this was a takeaway order so came in a box.

Have ordered twice via Uber Eats. Both meals very good with excellent chili beef, Singapore noodles, chow mein and satay sauce with skewers. Other items good. Am pleased that I trusted Uber rather than other TripAdvisor reviews. A bit pricey without a discount but good value with the discounts frequently on offer. The photo shows one skewer but there was a 2nd one not in the picture.

This restaurant is the pits. I ordered two soups and both were super sweet, full of sugar. We had to throw it away. Main course was a disaster. Greasy beef in a greasy thick sauce. Chow main with tough inedible chicken. I really can't believe that Deliveroo have this restaurant on their books and can't believe that this restaurant exists. I wasted £36 tonight 😒

I really enjoyed my egg fried rice and prawns with black bean sauce. It was all cooked perfectly. I would have preferred it more if there was more of the gravy to give it more flavour.

I really wished I had read all the terrible reviews before ordering from this restaurant I ordered my meal from this restaurant via Deliveroo. My order was one hour late and when it arrived it was basically a cold bowl of thin brown coloured liquid with raw onions and 3 prawns. I was so disappointed. This restaurant should not be on Deliveroo

Never disappointed always hot on arrival. Amazing food perfectly cooked, all containers can be recycled, great service, good value for money. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As well I am happy I had not read the reviews here before ordering. The delivery was well prepared. We had starters and two different meals and everything tasted good, not too fatty, not too salty and real veggies. The portions were also very decent.

I’m glad I didn’t read reviews before ordering as then we wouldn’t have risked it but we had a fantastic meal. Food piping hot, beautifully seasoned and plentiful. 4 of us all had different dishes and everyone lovely. Maybe the wonders have changed but I’m very happy to order again!

Very very dissapointing food. The place again with decent reviews was a big let down. The food not authentic and average service too.

Ordered online through Just-Eat. Good value for money. Authentic Chinese. Delivered exactly at requested time. Loved everything, especially the dim sum. Would have liked a bit more sauce with the sweet and sour chicken and some sauce for the special fried rice. But overall very pleased.

I normally order an amazing garlic with aubergine and brocolli bento which is really good. But today 14 July 2019 I ordered the same and the lady over the phone mentioned I could only choose between the broccoli or the aubergine .... Apparently it is so difficult to add Vegetables... I even asked to be charged extra and it was impossible. She was not helpful at all and is truly not an example of good service or trying to help the customer. Such a shame some staff members are not really helpful. But the food I must say is really good.

And a big thick black hair! Do not order vile disgraceful disgrace could not leave review with just eat as order was cancelled

I don’t really understand the bad reviews here. One of the nicest Chinese takeaways I have had. Ordered some hot Szechuan dishes which were deliciously spicy. Will definitely order from here again.

tasteless overcooked food by someone who doesn't know/doesnt care in the kitchen - bears no resemblance at all to Chinese food - cant see the new owners lasting long

As a regular customer over the past 8 years that has seen owners come and go but food always remained constantly good at a reasonable price I was shocked after a few weeks holiday to find the new owners have added the name Bento in menu and feel like it's justified to price increase on my usual dish by 50% to a mad £7:50 As a regular I would normally spend about £50 a month so lose a few of us and your be in trouble unless you can convince people by adding the word Bento to the menu and the shop remains the same Good luck with that one 😉

Amazing foods, excellent packings, love the Bento and Kids Bento meals, great selections, huge portions, well done !

Delivery was late. Crispy lamb had bones in it and was tough and dry. Pots of sauce were so tiny. Duck was pretty poor too. What a waste of money

Acabamos de pedir una entrega a nuestro hotel y estoy totalmente horrorizado por la experiencia.

He ordenado comida de estas personas durante décadas. Solían ser los mejores en el área, pero las últimas dos veces han ido cuesta abajo, en gran medida. Cobran los precios más altos, solía valer la pena, no vale nada ahora, probablemente lo harás mejor en tu chippie chino local. Hay comentarios en otros foros que la administración o los cocineros han cambiado, así que he ordenado lo último de ellos. Las algas estaban flácidas, el pollo agridulce era trozos de harina blanda con un poco de carne adentro y una salsa muy pobre con algunas de las verduras que deberían estar allí, sus panecillos se han ido completamente colina abajo, más o menos como un artículo de Islandia, había mucha azúcar en la comida, horrible, nunca los volveré a usar.

El cordero crujientes era tan recocido era imposible masticar. La carne crujiente de chili que solía ser tan perfecto era maltratada hasta la muerte, y mi favorito personal el cerdo dulce y agria era roja y así vinegary radiactivos y, de nuevo, en lugar de la pasta y unas de viejo es en una gruesa capa de masa insípida. suaves

first time ordering from them and must say was very surprised, came on time food was great. Thank you

Mi chino cerrado puertas normal después de 20 años y yo estaba en el mercado para un nuevo lugar. He leído las críticas y fue tomado de una vuelta porque esta es la primera vez que pedimos desde Gourmet Oriental y estaba encantadoramente sorpresa. Pedí a comer solo y era encantador, la orden recibida en el tiempo establecido. Las raciones fueron muy generosos y tuve sobras para el día siguiente. La casa fideos blandas especiales era muy sabrosa y tenía un montón de pollo, gambas, etc. Aunque una pequeñísima porción de hong kong estilo favorito de mi dulce y amarga también estaba bien. Me encantó.

Excellent foood highly recommended

Really quick delivery. Hot when delivered. Good food. Only thing was no cashew nuts in the dish which there should have been.

Order from here very often, though disappointed today as the chicken was very dry and did not get chillies even after specially asking for it.

Just wasn't what I ordered. Prawn rather than chicken which is unacceptable. Also why were the cashew nuts in the side? They should have been cooked in the sauce. I expect a refund.

Un plato de gambas era simplemente equivocada (en vez de pollo), así que llamé para quejarme y me dijeron que estaba mintiendo. El director tenía en el teléfono y decía que estaba intentando estafar a la salida de 6 libras. Cuando pregunté por qué no me dijo que no debía pedir de él de nuevo.

Best Chinese I've had in a long time and the fact it sells Hagen Dazs ice cream! Brilliant!

Fast delivery but sadly the food was disgusting. The chicken sweet n sour was incredibly artificial tasting with soggy chicken. The egg fried rice was tasteless. Everything was just microwaved. So vile and a complete waste of £15 !

I was very disappointed in the quality of the food from this restaurant and would never ever order again. The delivery time was very good but so fast obviously everything was heated in a microwave and nothing was fresh and too sweet. Just below par on everything!

It's a pleasure to order and eat a lovely meal. Fantastic.

Delivery was longer than the time given but wonton soup was so delicious!

The food was terrible, everything was soggy, barely warm and dripping oil. The chicken in the egg noodle was inedible.

ordered from here because it was top rated chinese in my area that delivered water. along with other dishes, ordered common/popular sweet and sour chicken and general tso's and they were horrific. Every bite lacked flavour and quality. genuinely worst take out of any cuisine that ive received in london in over 5 years. at least i didnt feal too terrible the next day because 2/3 of it went in the bin!

No cutlery, tea provided as leaves (??) Slow, unclear service and communication. Food was watery and bland.

Food took two hours to arrive. Recommend the Pork ribs.

Fantastic tasty food! Will definitely order from here again.

Pedimos comida para llevar a comer el domingo pasado y nos dieron un mono desagradable muy mala relación calidad de color algo jabonosa)comida. Nunca más! El pollo estaba como un poco de cuero, las verduras habían sido asesinados y estaban aguados casi más allá del reconocimiento, y las costillas estaban grasoso y desagradable. El pato crujiente ha sido literalmente muy frito, y la satay de pollo irreconocible como pollo.

Fantastic tasty food! Will definitely order from here again.

Top marks every time keep up the good work guys.

Ordered food at 21:30. Waited over and hour. Called at 22:45 and was told food would be 15 mins. Food arrived at 23:45 (the longest 15 mins in history) 2 hours and 15 minutes after ordering....and to top it off, the food wasn't even hot.

Usually the best duck at a very reasonable price with no problems, however this time the duck was dry and tasteless - very unhappy by the time I had finished. Still rate this Chinese over the others though.

Was a prompt service and food was nice although you would think when spending over £30 delivery would be free and you might get a few prawn crackers throughn in as with other places

We ordered the mixed meat. Twice. Neither had meet. Not good. We paid for meat not for vegetables.

I have ordered about 10 times from here- always on time or early (bonus!), generous portions, with the same care and quality every single time. BEST hot and sour soup, and BEST salt and pepper spare ribs. How do they make it all so tasty?!

On the positive side, there were lots of seafood mays in the rice dish but it was bland and looked and tasted cheap.

I ordered a crispy aromatic Szechuan duck, and it was vile. It was really dry, tasteless and overfried. For £10.20, besides, I thought the quantity was not even close to enough. In the end, I had to throw away the meal and walk to the local food store.

Tempura and mix aperitives over cooked with a taste of old oil ..seafood rice with very poor quantity and quality of seafood

Usually a very reliable service, unfortunately had a very poor experience with them yesterday. My vegetarian girl friend ended up with a mixed curry, complete with meat and fish. Obviously a pretty bad error. On calling the restaurant they apologised but the kitchen had closed so couldnt send out a new one. Understandable, as it was late. By way of compensation, they offered the cost of the dish off our next meal - £5.90. Obviously our meal was ruined. My girlfriend had nothing but dry rice to eat. A waste of £27.25. Had they offered to refund us for the meal, i wouldnt be writing this review - accidents happen. The fact that all they could do is reimburse me for a dish we didnt order, it unfortunately very poor customer service. Especially as this was pointed out to the gentleman on the phone - but he wouldnt budge. £5.90 off our next meal was all they'd offer.

Very nice, especially the char sui buns but portions quite small, especially sauces which were far too small.

Worst Chow Mein ever, the Satay sauce with duck looks vomited and rotten. Plus the delivery guy was rude and he didn't come up to my door, was waiting in the car. Never again.
