Orchid Oriental Restaurant in Birmingham

Food from here is the best and love the freebies 😊

Best Chinese I’ve had for a long time. Hot, fresh, big portions and listened to instructions. Will definitely be returning!

Friendly service over the phone and the food was delivered in good time. The food hot and delicious with a generous portion. I had the Sa cha man mixed meat and I would recommend it for a Chinese takeaway in South Birmingham

Given "deep fried squid" in a dish it was in fact stir fried squid when I called to question the error they told me it was actually stir fry despite what the menu said and to specify what was already stated in the menu to get what I ordered no offer of refund or other options. Food was very bad Wouldn't recommend.

I went in person, grabbed a menu and ordered. The place was not preposessing, with dudll decor and boxes piled up all around. However the price was very reasonable (£26 to feed 3) and complimentary prawn crackers and spring rolls were good. I was told it would take 5-10 minutes and it did. We enjoyed all of the food very much and have plenty left for lunch tomorrow.

Ordered for the first time, not only was it delivered so early than it said, delivery driver so Pleasant but the food was 100% beautiful, big portions will definitely will be ordering again very soon. Thank you for such a great meal

The food had no taste at all. No seasoning added. It was so bland. Will not order here again.

10/10 as always fresh hot food

Superb Chinese food. The Roast Chicken Cantonese Style is a thing of beauty. Good portion sizes too.

the food was really nice and hot really enjoyed it

Excellent as always. Thank you.

Food cooked perfect… only take out Cantonese to do hofon outside of the city center. Requested no veg in the delivery notes and was granted. Very good will use again.

Perfect hot food great customer service 10/10 see you again soon

Food has got even better than the last time we ordered and tbf that was very hard to top ! Totally delicious and my pork chow mein was the best one I've ever had ! Totally yummy and glad to say I'll be a regular customer a happy one too 😊

beautiful food was early aswell

Really excellent Chinese food and big portions.

The food is nourishing and delicious

I recall the food being of excellent quality and delicious. Would definitely order from Orchid again.

First time we have eaten from Orchid and we were all very happy. We will be ordering again.

Best takeaway Chinese! Food is brilliant and quality is always perfect. staff are very nice.

This place connnot get you order right. If I could give a 0 review I would. DO NOT ORDER.

Loved the food ..Chowmein was very tasty that’s the best chowmein I’ve ever had ..Will definitely order again ..Driver was very friendly..Thank you

Food was tasteless, Singapore fried rice wanted 1 without pork and 2 with pork as my daughter don't like pork but got the wrong bloody order, my other half called them up as wanted a refund or send me the order I asked from the start but the lady goes on the phone when you order next time I'll get one free, wasn't happy with it as it was my daughters dinner, as my other half said one without pork the lady goes so you don't want ham then lol what else is pork, last time I order from this place and cost ne near enough £40 service and food was horrible prawns had the vains stickin out and my daughter is really fussy, I mean who puts ham, sausages, spam in a Singapore fried rice and it's meant to be a spicy dish, it was nothing like it even from a balti place a korma or vindaloo is better then this place, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE, ORCHID COTTERIDGE NASTY

First time I ordered never again was too quick reheat food rice well over done curry hardly any meat or sauce just terrible all round

Get charged different depending on who you speak to I usually phone my order through regularly and go and collect, last week I called and asked for the curry sauce for the rice chips and sauce to be in a separate pot as I didn’t want the chips to go soggy, the man said yeah we can do that for you and was nice about it and did it, we ended the call had my food which was great minus the crispy chilli beef having no flavour. Today I called ordered the same and the woman said it will be 30p for the pot when I questioned this that the man last week didn’t charge me she was like yes you pay 30p for the pot Why do different people charge different I decided to order from somewhere else instead tonight and going to reconsider choosing another Chinese in the area.

amazing food, piping hot and so, so tasty. We ordered and within 20 minutes it was delivered! would definitely order from here again!

very enjoyable ,only complaint was onions were really tough ,apart from that lovely meal ,quick and polite service 👍

One of the worst chinese takeaways I've had. Taste and quality of all items ordered not good and very poor value for money

very nice food was hot on time

We have been regular customers here for 9 years, yet tonight when I called to complain my order was wrong (which half the time it is but we've continued to order here as it's tasty) I was greeted by the most rude, arrogant man I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. Not only did he not understand basic English, but he kept interrupting me when I tried to explain what the error was. No matter how many times I asked him to just let me explain without interruption, he continued to interrupt me and talk over me. He ended up saying they did not want my business anymore, and hung up on me! So when they get your order wrong, which they will if you want anything slightly different from what they make (in this instance no beansprouts in the chicken chow, but keep them in the plain) I wouldn't bother complaining, as they don't want to know. This place isn't the same since the lady on the phones left! Rude, nasty man! They've since banned us, customers for 9 years, because of the above honest review following such a bad experience with their rude staff member. AVOID THEM! The response he posted after my review was completely false.

Really tasty food, turned up quickly and hot

not to happy prawns we're cold put in bin not chancing

Food is flavourless, sweet and sour sauce tasted disgusting, curry sauce was like jelly and the chips weren't cooked. Won't bother trying from here again.

Good just forgot our free crackers.

I've been a regular customer at orchird for years,but was let down when they messed my order up I was very disappointed,after ordering my food at 10:20pm,I got home to find my food completely wrong,I had no choice but to eat it has they close at 10:30pm and I was very hungry. I tried to call orchird three times just after 10:30pm and the phone was ringing out I have this on my call log.I went into orchird to speaker with management explained my order was wrong I had no apologie and was told why didn't you call the phone he stated that the phone line was still operating until 11-30pm I explained I called and he stayed no one called.I feel let down and very disappointed from the customer service I received,I will no longer be ordering from you again after all these years being a loyal customer.

The food from here is usually excellent and the Roast Chicken Chinese Style was exactly that, and it was delivered earlier than expected. However I'm sorry to say I have to take issue with the rest of the order - the chips weren't properly cooked and the curry sauce was barely luke warm which was a bit disappointing.

Lovely food I would highly recommend

The food was kind of yeah wa’evs, but no included prawn crackers, srsly? Every other takeaway includes the 20p worth of prawn crackers with good quality food, so none included with wa’evs food makes for a poor show.

The driver was rude as he said he couldnt find the address although it is not a difficult address to find. The food was terrible quality. The crispy beef inedible.

Very nice food, came about 10 minutes early which was okay no problem. Thank you

Lovely food as always except hardly any satay in the starter

Food wasn't hot! rice was burnt and the pork dumplings we're really under cooked that had to put in the bin

Excellent service and delicious food

Food was not good temperature and also rice was burnt

really yummy... Best in the area

Ordered at 8:40 food was delivered at 9pm amazingly quickly, and food was great. Five Star well deserved!

The food arrived hot, tasted delicious and when I didn't have the exact change when paying by cash I gave the delivery man the 20 pounds because as a regular I'm happy with the service. Thanks so much for delivering my food to me on such an busy evening! 😊

Great food as always, delivered promptly.

Food was great just wish there was more chips in the tray and food was abit oily but still a solid 4/5.

First time using this restaurant and the food was delicious. Really tasty and large portions. This is the best Chinese we’ve had for years! Ty v much.

Excellent as always. Quality of ingredients, taste, portion size, presentation, delivery time, can't fault any of it.

Great food, will definitely order again. 👍

Don’t order from their app! Order through just eat so you are covered Me and my friend regularly use this place, we were together one night and decided to order on their app as they usually ask us to, we ordered over £70 worth of food, changed the delivery address to my address instead of my friends and placed our order About an hour later she had a call off the delivery driver he was trying to deliver to the wrong address even though on the app it definitely wasn’t that address abd was my address, we phoned the restaurant and the woman on the phone said they sometimes have trouble with the app, we will have to pay £1.50 for it to be delivered to us (baring in mind the other address is a only 5 min walk from the takeaway) When she questioned why should she pay as it was the apps fault a man then came on the phone shouting saying that she needs to pay £3.50 (went up from £1.50 originally) for the driver to bring the food and it had to be cash (we ordered on the app because we didn’t have any cash so paid upfront for the food anyway) the driver got to the actual address pretty fast between him calling us and us calling the restaurant and then obviously by the time the food got here it wasn’t as hot as it should have been Terrible service, terrible app, if I’m ever going to order from here in future now will order form just eat so least I’m covered rather than direct with them

We enjoyed our meal. Thank you! I can foresee we shall be ordering from Orchid again!

Excellent delivery time and food was delicious

Food seem ok at best, soggy chicken balls and over cooked rice. But then the next 2 days I had a bad stomach and on the toilet sh***** water, 100% from the food from here as I eat healthy all the time and this was a cheat meal. Won’t be ordering from here again unfortunately.

Salt and pepper ribs were great, chicken balls were crispy, chicken in black bean was a bit too salty but overall tasty.

Beef was chewy hardly any curry sauce in the curry and hardly any mushrooms. Given the wrong chips.

Food was delicious, fresh and hot. Really enjoyed it, will definitely be back! 👌

Chow mein full of grease, egg fried rice greasy...??? Foo yung was nice. Terrible, il stick to Yao's

Great service Only one ltem fault Prawn chow main cold

Great service and food. Very pleased thank you "ORCHID" !!

Takeaway only nowadays, but it's my chosen and favourite place. Staff always smiley and lovely. 👍🏻

Finally found my new go to takeaway after months of trying different places. Food delivered on time, still hot and was delicious. Definitely recommend 🤩

Great service as usual. Cannot fault the restaurant and the delivery was excellent !!. Many thanks

The set meal was lovely. Large portions and good quality but the extra Squid was a little bland and over cooked. 7/10 for this meal

Superb quality food from Orchid yet again. Delivered quickly, hot and very tasty. If there is a better Chinese Takeaway in South Birmingham I'm yet to find it.

Food was delicious as always best Chinese in birmingham!

Lovely food, doesn't feel too oily or unhealthy etc. Just found my new go-to Chinese takeaway. P.S. try out the BBQ ribs, they are incredible!

They get better and better !!. MANY THANKS ORCHID

Food is lovely. Prompt, hot & tasty. Chicken curry is really nice an the bbq ribs in honey just melt. Paula Kingsnorton 👍

The tofu was soggy and undercooked. The rice was tasty and well cooked

When it says it was delivered at 21:15 but didn’t actually turn up until 21:30 and if you have to re heat it you know it’s not going to be good the chips and prawn toast were not even mildly warm and as for the curry nah that’s a re heat job to not good when you pay almost £20 for a curry!!

great service from "ORCHID" and would highly recommend to anyone. Food was hot and thoroughly enjoyable. Once again, MANY THANKS !!

Fantastic food, so delicious and hot. I love the big spring roll and the curry was spot on.

I’m a regular of orchid but tonight really was a let down. £44 through just eat but £11 cheaper direct is abit shocking aswel. Got my order instructions wrong, asked for no veg in the crispy shredded beef and came with no sauce aswel and egg fried rice was burnt and clumped up and hard like it was yesterdays and recooked today. A real shame tonight as I’ve already said I’ve ordered from orchid before and it’s been nice but clearly going down hill judging from previous reviews and mine tonight l.

Well over an hour to arrive and when it did the food was cold. Don’t bother wasting your money. Also after closer inspection realising I need to be more picky about where I order as no food hygiene certification on record either. Avoid, I wish I had !

Salt & Pepper tofu was really watery and bland. Ended up throwing it. The rest of the order was edible but the tofu ruined it.

My usual take away was closed so based off the reviews I tried this one. Never again! The portion size and the price do not match up. I don't understand how you can justify charging the prices you do when the portions are very small. The fried rice had hard bits. The chicken dish I ordered should've been advertised as veg with a hint of chicken. You pack it out with veg and put hardly any chicken. Disappointed!

Since I started ordering from "ORCHID" the delivery was fantastic and the food has been excellent. I have ordered 4 times and on each occasion I have had great service. Thank you very much Dennis

Disappointing. Spent £40 but didn’t get prawn crackers, says on the menu you only get these if you order on the app or phone up but as I didn’t have a menu I didn’t know this . Food was very average and Luke warm, lemon chicken had the sauce all poured on top so was soggy and the chicken was dry . Hot and sour soup was nice though.I will not be ordering from here again unfortunately.

The chips were crispy and yet soft inside and not swimming in oil. The curry sauce was really tasty, just the right amount of spice and not too sweet. The chicken Cantonese Style is superb, really moist and juicy and full of flavour served with well cooked beansprouts and onions which still had a bit of bite to them. Absolute top quality Chinese food delivered in good time and with a smile. Great stuff!

Just moved to the area and ordered from here. We weren’t disappointed. Food was top class. Best we’ve had in a long time. We will be ordering again from Orchid.

The Singapore special rice was really nice.

No complaints from me! Food is always superb

Very disappointed, wont use again !

Food was spot on. Will be using again

The order was a little late arriving but the taste made the wait worthwhile

Impeccable food quality amazing 😍

We have had food delivered several times & the food is not bad, But the Asian man who delivers it always seems a bit moody with an edgy vibe!.

Nice chicken curry in the meal for 1 as was the rest of the food. Thanks ! Definitely order again 👍🏻

Food a bit bland. Ordered beef curry. Specifically ordered from here due to the high ratings but not sure why they're so high based on my order.

Food was pretty good, came hot but a little later than the estimate

Really nice quality food , would definitely recommend

The ladies on the main reception desk were lovely & friendly. The food was amazing. If I could give 10 stars, I would have. Thank You.

We ordered online we waited 45 minutes after food had left the restaurant. When it got here stone cold food and food missing. Called restaurant and they was so rude no drivers to bring the missing items and hung up on me! Will never order from here again!

Food was hot and really tasty will be ordering again thank you
