Doesn’t even deserve one star. The owner is very rude. I ordered for a collection at 18.20, she told me to come in 30 mins at 18:50. She took payment before rudely telling me to come back at 7. She started arguing that I got the time wrong and finally agreed to give me a refund when I confronted her that she should have told me my order wasn’t ready. I didn’t mind waiting but the way she communicated was unacceptable. Not going there again. God knows how this business is still open.

Looked a bit basic inside but the food was really nice. I had beef in ginger and spring onion sauce with egg fried rice and it was amongst the best Chinese influenced food I have eaten. I’ll be coming back for more…

Stevenage is our preferred stop-over on the way to the Channel Ports. There is a good range of eating-out options in the Old Town but having come across this little restaurant on our first visit in 2023, we have returned twice since then because of the high quality of the food, the genuine friendliness of the staff, the excellent service and the general ambience. The restaurant is very popular with locals which is a good sign. It is also very good value. Highly recommended.

Great food, generous portions and friendly and attentive service. Decor is basic but so what. We ate in but they also do take away. Hot and sour soup to start was delicious as were some spare ribs. Mains of garlic prawns and duck in plum sauce were good and plentiful. Sweet and sour chicken balls were nothing special, but then it never is really. Good size though and the sauce wasn't over-sweet. Some Singapore noodles were also excellent. All in all a very enjoyable meal and a restaurant I'm happy to recommend.

Wonderful place!! Best Chinese in Stevenage, I always order from this place and went to pick up my takeout from them recently. The lady was so lovely! The food was extra tasty and not too oily, I got the chicken chow mein, so lovely! The only negative would be that there was not much chicken in one of my takeouts. Other than that it was delicious and also came with prawn crackers! Thank you so much!

We visited Sunday at 5pm. We had a fabulous meal, the food is amazing. Despite there being a large birthday party of 30 as well, we didn't have to wait long for our food and the staff kept us informed about our meals and looked after us superbly. It was my birthday and they gave me a surprise box of chocolates to celebrate, a lovely gesture. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough, best Chinese for miles around and staff fantastic, we shall be back again

I have been to this place twice now and I think it’s really good. The dishes are well presented and tasty. Not overly covered in sauce like some other places. The quality of the meat and fish is good and the service is great. It’s been fairly full with couples and large groups when I’ve been in. Few things I’d like to see on the menu like soft shell crab and kung po prawn (only chicken and beef options) but honestly this place is great. Decent value too. Would go again.

10 of us went for a birthday dinner. We were put on 2 round tables pushed together, which was weird. There were plenty of available rectangular tables that could have been pushed together and there was only one other booking in the restaurant so I'm not sure why they did that. I was on the bit kind of between the 2 tables so I chose 1 but then almost had my back to most people on the other table. We all choose the buffet menu which included 3 starters each, Peking duck or lamb and 2 main dishes each. We could have ordered more dishes, free of charge, but only if we finished all the dishes on the table. The food was amazing, hence the 4 stars even though the table lay out was not the best and the staff were a bit shouty!

Very loud and echo's when the waitress shout to each other. No longer eat as much as u like. £23 per head for a cheapest set meal. Was very nice. Waitress OK but larger one was rude just pointing where u can sit. People getting take aways sit at tables and we can't work out which tables are free. Kitchen trying to keep up with orders and take away orders so service can be a little slow and chaotic at weekends

The restaurant is never busy at lunchtime, which is a crying shame, but also excellent for us, as we can have a business lunch in the comfort of a quite restaurant. The service is functional, you are not talking a fine dining experience, we are walking staff who know the menu, can advise on allergies, who are effective. It may be that we are there too often, but they remember which of us can and cannot use chop sticks -- that is impressive. The food arrives quickly, it well presented, tastes as good as it looks. We are there once a month, so it must be good.

We dine here fairly often because the food and service is fantastic. Last weekend, though, we held my wife's birthday party in the restaurant. They absolutely outdid themselves! The food was all served together so nobody was left waiting. Portion sizes were the usual more-than-ample servings. Everything was utterly delicious. Service was exemplary as always. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Highly recommended.

As always had a wonderful meal at otc Hadn’t booked a table but were seated anyway but told they needed the table back within 1.5 hours The restaurant was very quickly full so we were very grateful for the opportunity to eat without a booking As always were served by the two lovely ladies who just never stop fantastic service The food is delicious generous portions piping hot and well presented As has happened in the past while ordering was advised that what we had ordered was enough and we didn’t need anymore. And the waitress was absolutely right we had just the right amount of food she could have taken our order for more dishes and taken our money but was honest and sincere in her advice Have enjoyed this restaurant many times in the past mainly the buffet menu which is available though the week and incredible value but the main menu is very comprehensive and also good value too Thank you for a great meal

Visited for the first time after reading great reviews here. Fantastic little restaurant. Whilst the decor is no-frills, the staff and food more than make up for it. We tried to order too much food and rather than just take our money we were advised to order less, saving us at least £15. There aren't many restaurants that would do that. Would definitely go back.

I have never been to the Old Town Chinese Restaurant and will definitely come back. It's located in the South end of the High Street in Stevenage Old Town and we received a friendly welcome from the staff. They offer a variety of dishes and they also do a £23 per person deal which includes three courses and tea or coffee afterwards. The food was excellent and very tasty and there was just the right amount. the staff were really helpful and we were made to feel very special. Even though it was a Monday night there were plenty of people in the restaurant which to me showed it is good. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

We have been here a few times over the last 10 months, always a good experience. This time we had the set menu, which still offers a nice selection of dishes. The staff remembered that i use chop sticks while by team mates don’t, and that i have coke without ice and they have ice, pretty amazing given the number of people they must see. The food arrived quickly, we week cooked, looked nice and tasted great. Not a lot more to say, good food snd a good price, we will go back!

We went for dinner to our favourite Chinese restaurant, have been coming here for years, but this was our first eat-in meal there of 2022...we usually drive over for a good takeaway. Yes they’re not cheap, but the quality is always good and the same each time... good for leftovers the next day. The food is good as usual and the girls are happy and friendly. We came this time to have our usual buffet (£17.90) and thought, great they’ve not put up their prices due to their Covid losses, Brexit, etc, unlike a lot of our usual restaurants which we’re boycotting now for this reason! BUT I’m docking one star off as, unbeknown to us, they now charge a service charge which is added to the bill automatically.... and not actually advertised as going to be charged... I did wonder why the man at the next table was not happy and unimpressed... he told them to take off the service charge which shouldn’t be put on the bill in the first place... surely it’s OUR choice to decide if we’re going to tip for service or not?? For this reason, Old Town Chinese, you probably won’t see much of us this year (or probably other loyal customers) eating in from 1 April when the fuel bills increase by over 50%..£50 for a Chinese meal out for 2 with no alcohol is not good (I notice the price of drinks has gone up too and we didn’t even have a good alcoholic drink) 😫

There were four of us visiting on a weekday, we spent a total of £45.38 for one main dish each, one dessert (that we split four ways) and one soft drink each. Neither of us is a Korean food aficionado, but we give it four stars across the board, because the portions, in our opinion, were a bit too small for the price that was being charged, and the dessert menu was lackluster (out of four desserts listed, two were out of stock). However, what we did have was tasty and the servers (though not very experienced) were enthusiastic about their jobs. So to summarise, it's worth visiting once, just so that you have experienced what the Korean food its like at Gang Nam Restaurant, so we don't regret going, but we saw no real reason to be returning our custom.

AVOID.. All the food delivered was cold and a waste of money..where do I start, the king prawn puree I ordered had only 3 prawns in total. the bread that it came with was wet and very greasy. keema nam bread was very salty. vegetable rice cold and very oily. masoom special balti consisted of 4 pieces of lamb. 3 of which was thrown into the bin. 3 prawns again. chicken was well over cooked. sauce had no taste no spice at all. I don't normally right reviews but felt I needed to let people know.
