Excellent takeaway- food was delicious, hot and flavoursome and greeting staff impeccable service- particularly the blonde girl who was exceptionally well mannered and lovely. Will be using as my regular for Chinese takeaway from now on, would recommend.

I got Chicken Curry and Chips. The Curry was like jelly and tasteless. Luke warm when opened and that was only after a 2 minute drive home in the car! Chips were presumably refried! First time using here - AND THE LAST.

This is my 2nd and final visit to Orient. 1st visit was ok, nothing amazing but was a tasty dish, nice enough for me to try again. My 2nd experience will be my last. The dish tasted so chemically, veg was soggy and slimey. Food wasn't hot. The noodles were all clumped together and doughy. I woke up in the night with intense stomach ache. I hope they can fix their problems and do well but I won't be returning.

Excellent customer service. They went above and beyond to help us with a Just Eat issue, to ensure it was resolved. Food was excellent too! Will go back again.

While visiting family we opted to have a Takeaway. My family had always used The Orient when they lived in the area. We ordered on line in the morning for delivery at 5.30 on New Years Eve, our delivery came at 5.40. The food came piping hot with a wonderful aroma. Every dish was tasty an excellent portion size, my favourite was the Singapore Vermicelli, which was excellent, as were all the dishes. Excellent service and excellent food. Highly recommended.

Something really weird happened with our order which wasn’t our fault or the fault of Orient…the problem set the driver back over an hour & we still hadn’t had our food. The manager quickly had a fresh order cooked and delivered to us personally, apologising for something he or us had the answer too. Clearly custom service really matters to Orient…& the food was delicious always!

There was a clitch on Just Eat resulting in our food not getting delivered. It was clear it was not Orients issue but manager provided fresh order and delivered it himself. A rare example these days of excellent customer service and excellent food as well

Rang to place order so I wasn’t waiting too long. Was told 15 minutes. I got there after 10 minutes and 2 people came in ordered their food and was out before me. I complained but the very young girl did not understand. A man then tried to explain it was because what I had ordered could not be cooked until I arrived. Yet 2 others still came in and out after me. I asked for a partial refund but was given all my money back and no food by a woman that did not speak English and totally ignored me. So rude

We called in to the Orient to order a meal for 4 and were greeted by a lovely young lady, who took our order. We ordered beef curry, 2 special curry & lemon chicken, all were inedible, the curry was more like a beef stew, brown, but tasteless & the lemon chicken was very dry & overcooked. We have had meals from here previously that were OK, so we phoned to say we were not happy & to let them know. Our complaint was not received or handled very well, they seemed to think we were just trying to get a free meal, which we were not. Our taste buds seemed to be getting the blame. The Orient arranged to collect the remains of the meals, but when we called in later they seemed to think the food was acceptable and that we were just complaining for th e sake of it. They did however, show us a book full of complaints they had received about their food as far as this was concerned I thought it just strengthened our view. No apology or refund, credit note etc was offered. We will never go there again!

We ordered our takeaway , were told cash payment only , when plated up our food looked conjealed and upon tasting was indeed awful , we rang The Orient to advise them as we've used them many times prior to this and all was well , we were advised by the lady who answered the call that our call would be returned by someone who could help , as promised our call was returned by a very angry young man who accused us of " pulling a fast one " as lots of other people had done recently ... had he thought for a moment that maybe it's because of his awful food ? However upon his instruction we returned our food to its containers and it was collected by a driver , the aforementioned angry man then called us to say we were not having any credit or financial compensation which we didn't ask for ! Nor an apology as he said the food we had been sent was fine and he can't cook for all tastes all this was said in a very threatening aggresssive manner . Upon looking online to check it wasn't just us we noticed reviews of only one or two stars during the last two months ...has this takeaway changed hands recently ? We won't be using it ever again .

Things may have changed but at the time of my visit, the place was terrible. Cold food. Dirt everywhere. Untrained staff. Never again. This visit was before 2023.

Very good Won Ton and Chow Mein. (prawn crackers were pretty flavourless.... but they were free...!)

Ordered at 18.19 and finally arrived 20.20! I rang to find out where it was to be told driver was on way, we waited 20 minutes and called again to be told he’s got three other orders to be delivered! I get they have other orders too but wasn’t told that when I called. They didn’t seem bothered when I called and no apologies. Food was okay but just warm so won’t be ordering from them again.
