Ocean Lounge Chinese & Thai Restaurant in Rochdale

The location was a bit far from the train, but easy to drive on the road. We ordered two fruit punches and 2 special meals (soup+snack+main course+coffee or ice cream), a total of £41 for 2 people. Recommended chicken mushroom soup and prawn sesame toast. They were really delicious.

Having been around the block once or twice.. I have tried nearly every Chinese in the surrounding area of Oldham. I can confirm this place takes the biscuit- very friendly staff waited on our hand and foot. The salt and pepper chicken and chips is GOATED I’ll fight anyone who says different I have had them all. Thank god I found this place

Poor service , the amount of time actually eating was approximately 20ims and we had been seated over half an hour before starters arrived. The place wasn't heated so the food went cold very quickly, ,waited 25 mins for the bill then couldn't get a receipt, food was OK but have had better from a takeaway. Will not be going back

Lovely relaxing great food value for money 100% recommended

Great food lovely staff beautiful atmosphere 👌 😍 ❤️

Went for a birthday meal, we were a group of 12, 3 being kids, overall not a simple and straightforward order. Honestly the staff were so so accommodating, they even made a meal to suit my baby girl, which I couldn’t be more grateful for. They were patient whilst taking an order that was honestly all over the place. Everyone loved the food and loved the price we paid even more.

Best chinese thai iv ever had! We come here alot. The special set meal is a bargain. Staff are lovely

On a suburban road in Middleton, North Manchester, the Ocean Lounge is a pleasant dining experience for people who like to take their time & savour a lovely meal. Parking spaces (free) are outside on the side of the road, & inside the atmosphere is cosy. The service is very friendly, & the food includes some delicious dishes. In particular, my group liked the Chicken Sweetcorn & Hot Sour Soups 😋 ! A major plus is the cost - large main portions (we had to get doggy bags !) and with a set menu on offer at the time, we were stuffed full for around £15 per head inc. a drink !

Thankyou for making my mum's birthday special yesterday. 💖 we had the special set menu.

My family & I have just celebrated my birthday. A truly great meal enjoyed by us all. Can't wait to go back. The food & the service was first class. Highly recommended.

The food is always excellent and services to match

Large portions, quickly served. Friendly staff

Absolutely lovely restaurant, staff are so friendly and accommodating. The food is amazing, fresh and delicious and made to order. We've been coming here for years, today was my partners birthday and the staff gave us a beautiful cake to take home and celebrate.

Great food, and lovely staff. Love going there. 👍

Fantastic food and service, won ton soup, fried garlic ribs and sizzling steak delicious

Been here a few times over the years, lovely family run Chinese restaurant. For best value it’s definitely better to go off the set menu for £18 P/P as you end up with four courses. Don’t go if you are in a rush, service is steady which is good to let the food go down. Food is delicious. I’d say set aside 2 1/2 hours for your visit. Cocktails are amazing and really good value at 2 for £12. Staff are very friendly. Lovely local family business.

Good food and great customer service

Had a lovely dinner, especially the salt and pepper box 😋

Lovely staff, accomdated gluten free which really helped with my daughter, good price for 4 people. 👍👍

Just ordered takeaway for the 1st time from here..from the man on the phone taking the order to the delivery driver bringing our meal the service was excellent, everything was thoroughly delicious..Will definitely be ordering again.

Eaten in and had takeaway. Both really tasty.

Lovely Chinese try the salt and pepper ribs

Unfortunately I was disappointed, main meals very bland.

Great food & service. Will definitely be back.

My Grandsons took me for Mothers day. The food was lovely and staff where excellent.

Had a lovely Chinese meal here Easter Sunday lunchtimeish I was in food heaven n so was my partner too!

Some of the best oriental food in the area, I prefer this over the restaurants in Manchester city centre. Wide range of food and drinks menus, food tastes awesome

Absolutely appalled by our visit here last night on Christmas eve. Been coming here for 8 years with family to celebrate Christmas, but next year we will be going elsewhere. I'm vegetarian and when we booked, we was promised it wouldn't be an issue. Not only did they serve me a duck spring roll... But then they proceeded to serve me with half a Lettuce and some gruel looking garbage as in photos to put in a wrap. Then thought it was fair to charge £38 for this! They tried putting 10% service charge on top, which we asked to be removed as service was a joke. We were in there for over 3 painful hours and food was cold to lukewarm at best. Absolute disgrace, ruined our night completely! My elderly dad went on to get food poisoning! Would give 0 stars if I could!

Restaurant-quality food at takeaway prices! The special vegetarian stir-fry was, I think, the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. I don't live in Middleton but I'll make a point of ordering from Ocean Lounge next time I'm in the area.

Usually order delivery from here, called in the other day and as always friendly, foods good and reasonably priced. Been ordering for years, no complaints 😊👍

This once was a public house now a Chinese restaurant couldn't fault any of it from start to finish it never got busy ,(Saturday night) the food was delicious 😋 and plenty of it ,will we return yes we will (party of 5 )

Like the Saturday deals between 12pm and 2pm

Great food and excellent family restaurant the staff are second to none been there time and time again cannot wait to go again

Always a good choice, to choose from, friendly staff and punctual, never had a problem with my meals.

Better than happy garden, fresh food not just full of sugar and sweeteners and very polite

The best Thai Chinese food fusion. Fabulous service and they do Great take away too. Phone number on my phone memory f0r lock 2.. simply the best

Food was good. We had ribs as starter which were excellent. The main meals were good but really spicy to a point the meal wasnt finished but still good

A good take away and the staff are great too

Amazing food and very attentive x

The most lovely service, always so friendly and accommodating. I really can't recommend highly enough

Always perfect food and service. Have been using this restaurant for years and never disappointed.

Fantastic food and polite, hard-working staff!

Lovely food and friendly service

We've just tried the Ocean lounge and really enjoyed it. The food was great and the service was too. £12 for four courses before 4pm on a Sunday loads to choose from. Will definitely go again.

Fantastic food and service good value for money

This was the best Chinese I've had since my trip to China. Highly recommend the Cantonese mix starter. Will be a regular returning customer.

Had quite a large takeaway meal tonight but 3 different main courses dominated by sliced red peppers. It was as if they had been to a red pepper sale and bought the lot. Do red peppers actually have a place in Cantonese cooking? Meat Hong Kong style (with red peppers) was thick, fatty and chewy. Crispy chicken (with red peppers) was poor. Char sui pork Szechaun style (with red peppers - no chilli) was red peppery. I may be a bit mixed up now as to what was what though but you get the picture - I may have possible red pepper overload? Fried rice (yung chow) with bits and pieces was good - no red peppers - but overall a big disappointment for £6.50 or so. Unless you really like red peppers, best be cautious in ordering. Or, now, having been warned, ask for no red peppers. We have eaten here before - sit down in restaurant - and it was great, but this is night and day poorer, though I think my own poor choices didn't help. This wasn't the Ocean Lounge's finest hour. Nor mine.

We booked a table for 7pm, 24 hours coming, they said that was fine. We arrived for 7 and were seated, handed a menu, and our drink order taken. 30 minutes later, they finally took our order. 30 minutes after that our soup arrived. 50 minutes after that, we complained to a waitress as to how slow our service was being. Most of our food was cold when it arrived. The chicken and sweet corn soup was horrifically thick and my friend described it as “essentially solid”. The next dish (that took 50 minutes) arrived and was 8ish chicken skewers... that were cold, like really cold. My main arrived and I’d ordered a chicken balti (I don’t really do Chinese but my friends wanted it and so I went along), my ‘balti’ was a Chinese curry with just added seasoning. It was definitely not a balti. And unfortunately, some of the chicken breast was actually raw in the centre. We had finally paid by 10pm. We were there for 3 hours. We won’t be going again.

Really fantastic food, great portion sizes- and they're happy to package it for you to take your leftovers home! I really like the original features in the architecture, it used to be a pub and they've kept some of that, whilst also updating it to feel like a lovely restaurant. Extremely friendly staff. Not much else to be said, it was great!

Amazing vegetarian options and the staff are very welcoming! Would definitely recommend!

Weeping tiger is all I'm going to say

I've been twice before it's a lovely place very excellent food choice of Chinese or Thai food it was very quiet I can't understand why it's a five stars quality restaurant.

Went to ocean lounge this evening the meal wad excellent service was great cannot fault it.

This place was embarrassing to say the least, we booked a table for 20 giving them 12 weeks notice with food choices to go with, the food was late - there was 1 chef and 1 waitress, no beer on tap only cans, then she had the audacity to tell other customers that we had just walked in, oh and one plate of food had a hair in the middle of the food and she argued that it wasn't hers - no i would not recommend nor eat there again - disgraceful - didn't want to give any stars

Food was very tasty and great value. Well worth a visit . Everywhere was so clean and well presented 😆👌

Good quality delicious food once again 😋😋😋

Banquet for four, food was good, service was good.

Local favourite Chinese cash and carry

Wonderful food at great value for money. Staff are very friendly and pleasant, and the takeaway service is brilliant too. Delivered piping hot and quickly. Highly recommended.

Good food and good take away and delivery service

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Good value for money. Highly recommended.

Service shocking ...food OK. Wouldn't return

Awesome food and service well recommended

Absolutely exccellent food at reasonable prices. Serves Chinese, Thai and Indian cuisine. Best at weekend when it is busier and the atmosphere is enhanced.

This place is underrated. The food is always spot on and the staff very friendly.

Superb food wonderful staff. Excellent experience. Thankyou for a lovely evening

I think the food here is fantastic, a great variety and lovely staff

Both me and my partner enjoyed evening tea out at ocean lounge its a great place we loved it! Nice and cosy inside and very clean. We went on a Tuesday evening where they do a specials menu. We got a soup each to start and then picked three items each off an appetisers menu section. Then we ordered a main each. We both finished with icecream. With drinks for both of us the total bill was less than £40! The food was lovely and great value for money. We'd recommend everyone to visit who loves a Chinese meal out. We'll definitely be returning in the near future :)

The food and service here is incredible. I am a very picky eater and I'm able to order things to be specially made, with or without certain ingredients. Best service I've ever had and at a really good price! The portion sizes are great and I always seem to end up taking some home with me!

I decided to order from ocean lounge based on the reviews. In hindsight, I wish I didn't. I feel utterly bamboozled and duped. The glowing reviews can't possibly be true! The food was utterly awful, so much so I cannot find the words to describe how utterly diabolical and disgusting it was. A complete disappointment and so inedible that I didn't bother to eat most of it. Going hungry tonight is a better option. Ocean lounge is a very poor Chinese restaurant and takeaway also masquerading as a Thai takeaway and this is even worse (didn't think it was possible!) £45 I might as well have burned or put in the rubbish. £5 delivery charge which takes the Micky (I'm only three miles away) and as I spent over £25, I got a free starter. Decent food would have been nice (probably asking too much) or no delivery charge at least. I certainly didn't want more horrendous food. Weeping Tiger was no where to be seen, jungle curry was definitely jungle hot with unknown "jungle" meat in there which was incredulously gristly. Presumably beef. Mixed starters arrived cold and were ghastly. Very oily, indescribable fillings. The salads were of miniscule proportions and were simply boiled meat loosely mixed together with incongruous flavours. Some coriander, slices of onion, hint of lime and that was about it. The chicken wings were sizeable but again incredibly oily and bland tasting. Lamb Thai curry came drowned in that ubiquitous black Chinese sauce which is reminiscent of soy sauce but nothing else. Definitely wasn't Thai that's for sure. However, the 1st prize goes to the Chinese chicken cabbage! This was the biggest insult to injury! Some porridge like consistency of god's know what in a container and in a polystyrene container, a quarter of a iceberg lettuce. I am utterly livid. I was expecting it to be so-so but ocean lounge have really outdone themselves. They've won my award of worst takeaway ever. One that I don't think will be beaten for some time if ever. Next time I'm listening to my gut feeling. I'm not going to put up with so-so or bad food anymore. I'm also going to travel somewhere with more than a handful of Google reviews, of repute and a decent website. The quality of a website can say a lot about an establishment. I can only hope that my review acts as a warning to others and that they take heed. Don't make the same mistake I did. If you must have a takeaway order it from somewhere else. The fact that I felt compelled to leave such a review should tell you all you need to know. The only nice point was that the delivery driver was friendly and courteous enough to call and confirm my address. Although in hindsight, I do wish he never delivered it.

Absolutely shocking food was full of salt and over cooked waiting time was unbelievably long very very disappointing courses came out at all different times so people was waiting while others ate I've only gave this place 1 star as I had to to leave the review WOULDNT RECOMMEND GOING HERE !!

Nice food just not happy with the lobster in tank

This Restaurant is very dirty and the staff is so cheap and rude. One time we try this restaurant food and we see this one at behind the bar.

Very good quality food. Recommended.

Good value on Monday and Tuesday. Be prepared for a wait though even if only you in. Would be 5 star if this resolved.

very good food and service top notch cant fault will be back again

Fried rice dish was very bad and the curry sauce even worse. First take away meal ever I had to stop eating and throw away! Would give it no stars if possible!

Good food good price highly recommend

Staff was spot on good service and very friendly the food was superb will be going back thank you from all the staff at mark bates and sons

Professional dishes that are very well prepared.

Order a takeaway and food arrived in 1 hour after told it would be 20 minutes. Part of order not good quality and phoned up for a replacement and they said they would send it but said they wouldnt take another order off us in the future. A pity because we have been valued customers for the last 2 years

Service is a joke. This place won't last.
