Usually the meal is very good but the 2 Special Fried Rice we ordered tasted burnt. Very disappointing as we spent £45.

Have ordered from oriental express many times and have had no problems with them in the past, until now. Website did not update status of order, i phoned to have an update, man who answered phone didn't give clear answer and hung up on me. Phoned straight after, spoke to same person and he told me to f**k off your order on the way, he didn't take my order number or name. I think the manager needs to speak that man about his attitude, i will not be ordering from them again unless staff attitude changes. Absolutely disgraceful. I know its a weekend and they are busy, but that man needs a slap in the face for the way he spoke to me

Ordered chicken satay with fried rice and it was delicious. The order arrived earlier than expected and the delivery driver was friendly. We received complimentary vegetable spring rolls. The chicken satay was so nice I was craving it all week and decided to order it again. It was just as delicious the second time, and again arrived earlier than expected by a friendly delivery driver and with complimentary spring rolls. Will be ordering Chinese takeaway from here from now on. Can't fault it.

Ordered for the first time. Delivery was quicker than expected and the guy who delivered was very polite. The food was still hot. The portions were so big, we kept some back for the next day! We ordered chicken & mushroom soup and salt & pepper chicken wings to start. The wings were so moreish and served with lovely crisp vegetables. Chicken with cashew nuts was good but my partner not that keen on the texture of the chicken but tasted great. My crispy beef was yummy. We had rice and noodles and were given free prawn crackers and mini spring rolls. Definitely order again.

The food was incredible, they gave us a free bag of spring rolls with a nice message written on. This was a nice surprise. The best part of the meal was the salt & pepper chips. We would usually order our Chinese from Peking chef but after trying the Orient Express we will most definitely be loyal customers.

Often get food from this place. Normally there is no trouble with the food, service or timing. However the order tonight was a fairly long wait, (expected on a Saturday night) which was the. delayed another 30 minutes (from the time just eat said would be delivered) the food then turned up nearly 40 minutes later than originally timed. Which meant we had our food at a pretty ridiculous time in the evening. I didn't feel the service when calling to follow up our order was particularly friendly or helpful either. The food quality was nice, as ever. And the delivery driver was friendly too.

Food freshly made is all really lovely. Fairly extensive menu too. Stumbled across it for a birthday meal and been back 3 or 4 times since. Staff generally attentive. Decor not the best and needs some modernising but the freshly cooked food outweighs the ambience factor.

Food tastes good, not a lot of it for the price which is disappointing. My order has come wrong a few times, or something has been missing. When you ring back up and try to explain, they aren't very interested in helping you come to a solution. But it does depend on what staff are in as some of them are very helpful. The food does come quickly and hot which is good. Overpriced for what you receive as its mostly filled with sauce or rice with little meat/fillings as it saves money filling up containers with cheaper items.

Food is reasonably price and quality is good. My favourite is the Special Fried Rice which comes with extra pork meat with sweet plum sauce on top and a fried egg. This restaurant has been around for the past 40 years and the food still taste the same as back then which is a winning formula. Lady owner is very helpful and very polite in person and over the phone which you can ring ahead your orders.
