Food was desusting was bland no prawns in the prawn toast was stogey wast of money could not call it a curry

Beautiful takeaway. Always piping hot and fresh. Worth the money. Plus staff are very accommodating to you requesting alternative sauces or amendments etc. ❤️

Food is great but the boy answering the phones could be more happer he sounded like he didnt wanna be there lol

Ordered food for delivery to Verwood on a Friday night. It was delivered in the timeframe expected. Good sized portions. Great food. Will be ordering again.

Ordered a delivery, first time trying this restaurant It was absolutely delicious, the chow mein has large chucks of juicy meat and they don't scrimp on their portions Salt chilli prawns are amazing Will definitely be returning, shame they don't have a dine in restaurant too!

Lovely jubley ! This Chinese takeaway is lovely. I popped in Tuesday night as things were hectic after a school run from hell and kids swimming lessons. I needed something quick as I’d been on the go all day. last minute dot com was the order of the day, “I’m sure many can relate” , “the joys of parenthood “ hey. It’s crazy as I used to go her maybe 10 years ago and it was pretty good then. However I didn’t know what to expect after all that time. I went for a beef curry, the special fried rice, chips and pancake rolls. The rice was fresh and fluffy, it had lovely freshly cooked ingredients. I particularly liked the chunky juicy Chinese pork in it. Most places give you pieces that are tiny and a bit grey looking. Sometimes the pork or meet in takeaways has an odd smell like it’s a bit ripe. It always puts me off. Not here though nice fresh meat cooked lovely and generous amounts off ingredients in the portions The curry was great tasty full of meat and mild just as I’ve come to expect from Chinese curry. Even the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside and still very hot when I got home. Overall a great experience of a quick grab and go mission by myself. I was glad I made the decision to have a cheeky takeaway. It’s nice to have a lovely fresh tasty Chinese again. Thank you guys keep up the good work.

Gutted- this evening the chicken was very fleshy/pink, not fully cooked. We had 2 dishes out of 4 that were inedible. We like this Chinese but on this occasion they cooked our order far too quick. I would always rather wait longer and know that chicken is safe.

Been a customer for years - always great food and service

Food was OK but a bit pricey. Would visit again.

Great service good food clean take away

Food arrived after 1 hour 45 mins when they said it would be an hour and when it arrived all the chicken dishes were under cooked and inedible

Great to eat from a local family owned business with delicious food! 10/10 would recommend.

Was passing through West moors and saw this place. Thought I'd give it a try even after reading the Google reviews which were very mixed. I had just the special fried rice and sweet and sour pork Cantonese style. Is it the best Chinese takeaway I've ever had no . However the pork was well cooked and not dry and the rice was nice. The sauce on the pork was bit mediocre flavour wise but satisfactory, not oily or watery, just lacking a bit of punch. Like other reviews state they are probably on the more expensive side but hey I didn't have to cook after long day. Would I use this place again if i was passing in the area? Yes it was clean, the staff were friendly and the food was pleasant.

10/10 Chinese, wouldn’t go anywhere else

My wife just returned with a take away of chewy rubbery crispy chilli beef, a quarter duck that looks like it died last year a chow mein that is like over cooked spaghetti so I should have just given the money to charity as the lot just got in the bin. I highly recommend you avoid this place, there is a very good place in ferndown that never disappoints over the road from a bike shop

It is a shame as this used to be a lovely takeaway. Now they are overpriced, the quality of the food is unpredictable and the customer service is non-existent to point of rudeness. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

OK.. but hit and miss. On food.

Tried the curry prawn dishes because the chow mein is dry and bland - it was v v watery and bland. Awful. Used to be good but now I’ve only had terrible tasting stuff here

ordered from here today in how long lol its always nice and hot and they never disappoint so always happy to pay that little More

I placed a £75 order and was charged £2 delivery charge, despite being within 2 miles of the shop. I've always used this chinese but never again. Needless to say I sent it back and ordered from a more fairer chinese.

Very disappointed. Although very expensive I still ordered after reading the reviews. I now feel like I've swallowed a bottle of cooking oil, the chicken balls were very hit & miss, the ribs were tough and very little meat on them and the chow mein tasted burnt.

Always great service, delivery is never late and good is amazing

One of the best Chinese meals I've had in the UK. Great friendly service and staff. Food always hot on arrival. Try it you might like it to!!

I always order the special curry with fried rice, and i have never been dissapointed yet, always hot and very tasty, probably the best curry i have ever had. And exceptional value for money compaired to other chinese takeaways in the area. Keep up the good work.

We ordered at 5:30 for collection. We’re advised 20-30 minutes for it to be ready. We collected at 6pm (30 minutes after ordering as suggested) When we got home (5 minutes drive), we discovered it was warm at best and to be honest, a little dry and tasteless.

I treated myself to a prawn curry last night, Oh dear what a disappointment this was considering the amount of good reviews . Yes the curry was what I ordered but they left out the flavour. TASTELESS It was bland and not very inviting ,much like the staff, and why do they only accept a min spend of £15 on the card ???. I will not be going back anytime soon and nor should anyone else unless your happy to waist your money .

Fresh taste clean and the staff are friendly but it's a bit more pricey than other Chinese takeaways

Staying in our caravan on holiday fancied a Chinese so I called in ordered a special fried rice.not value for money very small portion not much chicken at all,pancake roll was tasty won’t be going back again.

On a holiday at Shamba Caravan Holiday ordered take away on Oriental Express, we loved the food we ordered. The taste is really good. Thank you.

Super food. Delivered to our caravan site. Very polite staff on the telephone. Both meals and shared starter were excellent. Would certainly recommend.

Everything just right, including the off-menu variation we asked for.

Our yummy meal was delivered to Verwood, hot and on time for a very nominal charge. Would recommend Oriental Express.

The best Chinese takeaway in the area by a long way. Great service. Friendly and polite. Good value for money. They also deliver.

Is the best by a mile round here. We've tried them all and been going back to these guys for 3 years now. Food is consistently great.

Quite possibly the best chinese takeaway I have ever had!
