Joy of the Orient in North Tyneside

Terrible, just ordered for delivery and honestly shocked at the portion sizes for the amount we've paid. Very upsetting compared to other restaurants out there. Won't be recommending, total rip off.

People where canny but portions are awful don’t feed you and food quality isn’t acceptable

First time used this Chinese won’t use again wish I had read reviews curry meal terrible barbecue ribs think they forgot the sauce won’t use again

Nice food,came hot ,good portion

Very poor value meals you would think had come from Iceland very small portions hot in sour soup was tasteless like dish water and the curry was the same . The sweet sour balls are tiny only 6 in the bag would definitely not recommend get a microwave meal it’s more tasty also the house special fried rice is terrible too hardly no meat

Waited 1 hour 15 mins for the food to arrive (which isn’t too bad on a Saturday) but it arrived without rice. I called and they said they’d ‘speak to the chef’ (about what?) and then call back but they never did. Meanwhile, my husband said it was the worst sweet and sour he’d ever eaten. The main taste was vinegar apparently. He also had a tasteless chicken and corn soup. My main was a Malaysian vegetable curry, which consisted of a cheap curry sauce with onions, beansprouts and a few carrots floating in it. Very disappointing.

food had no flavour spent £38+ and still hungry ?? very small potion of chickenballs and chips , every chinese ive ordered ive always recive free prawn crackers or spring rolls ..very expensive for what you get will not be ordering again

Adaquit meal reception claimed they dont deliver to Howdon Road and speedy delivery fifteen minutes, am not sure if i will return.

Order hour and a bit late, takeaway didn't answer phone, items were missing and cold when It finally arrived. Wouldn't feed this to my dog

Only Chinese around I've seen with labelled vegan options. I enjoyed my veg chow mein. Not the best I've had but it was still nice. Partner had a fried rice (non-vegan) which he said was very blant and he ended up putting seasoning on, and chicken which he said was also so-so. He wouldn't order from it again. So for that I had to rate it down.

A hand full of undercooked frozen chips with a teaspoon of runny curry. Probably the worst take away food I’ve ever had. To undercook frozen oven chips when you’re charging that much for them is another level. So glad I’m not a meat eater as if I ordered a chicken dish I imagine to the bird would have leapt off the plate mid meal.

Absolutely love the snack boxes n veg spring rolls from here, nice staff too, thanks

First time last week and the last . Special curry chips a d rice . I suppose an easy ask , frozen sliced chicken frozen sliced mushrooms ans same I think for the prawns . Runny tasteless curry sauce. The rice was ok though 👌

Inedible, everything was so salty. The containers were half full with barely any sauce. Sweet and sour sauce tasted like pure vinegar. Do not reccommend.

Food is disgusting was raw full blood never eat there

Took an hour and fifteen minutes to get to me. Was luke warm and the container with the salt and chilli chicken was half full. It was stupidly over salted to the point where the chips were inedible and my complaint was dismissed because, that's the portion size and I'm only the counter staff. Didn't care, rubbish food, takes forever to come. Avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid....

If there was a 0 star rating this place would get one. I was expecting a lovely chinese however recieved nothing but vile food, the noodles i ordered had no flavour and were the texture of cardboard. I ordered salt and pepper chips and i genuinely think that they had no pepper on and were covered in salt. i ordered duck for duck pancakes and received duck on the BONE. This put me off my food which ended up going in the bin anyway after one mouth full. I WOULD 100% RECOMMEND TO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE. I WANT A FULL REFUND AND WILL BE RINGING TO COMPLAIN FIRST THING IN THE MORNING!!!

Ordered last night, wasn't happy. Ordered bbq spare rids, got 4and a half ribs, wasn't bbq sauce more like weak gravey, disgusting and took them back. Chicken satay, still dehydrated now there was so much salt. Chicken and King prawn chowmain, no king prawns and ordered crispy beef, meant to be hot, no sauce, so dry and just no flavor. Will not be coming back, worst chinese I've ever had

I ordered from joy of the orient this evening and I’m not happy with the food or service, first of all the estimated time of delivery was 45 mins to an hour and turned out coming 1h30mins after we ordered. I then opened the bag and realised there was no sweet and sour sauce with my chicken balls, first of all I have never been to a Chinese where the chicken balls didn’t come with sweet and sour sauce, and second of all I actually added to the notes section I wanted extra sauce with it. I then called the restaurant and they said I would have to pay for extra for the sauce because chicken balls didn’t come with the sauce, which is fair enough. However they also wanted me to pay £3 for another delivery even though I asked for it the first time. To add on to this, they also said it would take at least 20 mins for the sauce to be delivered even though I live about a 3 min drive from the place. Overall I am very disappointed as the food isn’t the best and the customer service is shocking!!

Orded satay sauce expecting chicken and other stuff in the sauce but got nothing paid a ridiculous price for food that I don't even wanna eat. Waste of money, won't go away. The worse Chinese restaurant going, didn't even know their calculations for the actual order.

These people really don't understand good customer service, if the order is right you are very lucky please order elsewhere there are many other establishments that want to your business and will offer you much better customer service and or better quality food

Honestly don't know what the other reviews are going on about! This is the only place we order from now. The rest of the Chinese takeaways in shields really dont compare. We have salt and chilli dishes which are full of flavour, the chow means are delicious with just the right amount of beansprouts to noddles, and the portions are a great size! We don't order from anywhere else anymore. I'm just gutted that they're shut on Mondays as that's when we normally want to order :(

Just had a meal from them and have to say this was by far the worst Chinese meal I have ever had... Tasteless chicken next to no sweet and sour sauce. Carton filled with onions and peppers to bulk it out. Tastless spare ribs with guess the flavour sauce. And more onions and peppers.... . That's what happens when you play just eat roulette.

Great freshly cooked food, if you like your food cooked in a certain way this is the place to go. I literally order from here at least once a week. There is no next day bloat you get from some Chinese takeaways. Highly recommend.

Without a doubt the worst Chinese takeaway I have ever had. Swimming in grease, undercooked, little to no meat. Vile taste. Certainly brought no joy to our hard earned Saturday night treat. Went in the bin... Avoid.

Not the best by any means, food never piping hot and always late.

Very poor quality food. Insipid and tasteless. Cheek to charge what they do. Will not use again . Very disappointed

Great food and great staff, definitely worth a visit if your in the area

I have ordered food tonight and I ordered a house special red Thai curry what arrived was nothing like a red Thai curry and I rang the the Takeaway straight away and explained that this is not what I had ordered and he said this is how they make the dish.Red tie curry had no coconut in it it was just a hot curry sauce with spices I requested a refund I was told they would bring me back.After 10 minutes no response therefore I’ve ran for the last half hour and they have ignored all of my calls apart from an initial second call where the lady hung up and she said they were really busy I’ve continued for the last half hour and all my calls I’ve been ignored. I think this is disgusting service as is the food I would never recommend this takeaway to anyone.

No joy eating from here worst food ever had

Worst Chinese I have ever had! Chicken fried rice was tasteless, only half filled the ribs, chips undercooked, tiny chicken balls that wouldn't even feed the kids! And no prawn on the prawn toast, very disappointed and safe to say we won't be going back £25 later.

The best salt & chilli squid. Friendly & quick service.

Really enjoyed our meals will definitely order again

The very best Chow Mein and the Chilli Beef is beyond excellent. Delivery is always on time (so far at any rate). It does however seem to be shut on very many occassions,

Just collected 3 meals 2 of which were just warm and the 3rd had the chips missing from the order had to at least 30 minutes for the chips to be brought to my house and was told i would get a phone call to sort the rest out i never got the phone call and am discusted at my food not being hot when i have paid good money for it

No sauce with the sweet and sour chicken, soggy lettuce in the hot and dry house special and food was freezing cold.

Worse I've ever had.. won't be going bk.

Excellent food, very prompt and friendly service. Honest family-run business that I'd certainly recommend

Delicious food and very friendly customer service

Very poor service. Luke warm noodles.Will definitely not be using this takeaway again.

Has to be THE worst Chinese meal i've ever eaten! Thought we'd try them out, boy oh boy do we regret it. Tasteless utterly bland, cold, food missing from the order! Also asked if the seaweed (cabbage i know) had any sugar added to it? "No, it's just seaweed".. Was fljippin drenched in sugar!! Yuk Yuk Yuk & Yuk again.. Can't see this place lasting at all.

Muy decepcionante comida como vivo en la zona y pensamos que vamos a intentar ellos como he usado Joes en North Shields durante 10 años.Singapur tenía 6 especial de la casa unos trozos de carne y 2 langostinos bebé comparar este con Joes son millas aparte y Joes es más barato.Patatas fritas había sido tantas veces que sabía viejo y seco.CURRYLO SIENTO, pero en general estaba aguado no fue una buena experiencia.
