Oriental Palace in Doncaster

Friendly service and delicious food

The price does not reflect the quality of the food whatsoever, the “hot and spicy chow mein” was merely a very small tin of plain soft noodles, no flavour to them at all. “Salt and pepper chips” had zero salt or pepper about them, satay chicken very bland; just a piece of pre bought chicken on a stick and a small tub of satay sauce? Saving grace may have been the prawns but when the entire takeout costs £50 you expect a certain high standard of food, of which this is not, it’s bland and rushed ( food was ready to collect 10/15 mins maximum after putting the phone down). It was our first time ordering here as I’ve heard a lot of hype over the years, first and the last time.

The meal last night was delicious,staff friendly and service good. Would recommend this restaurant food any time. Not relevant to the food but the reception fish tank needed a serious clean up and the poor fish didn’t appear to have enough oxygenated water 😟

This is by far THE BEST food in South Yorkshire!! We eat in sometimes but usually have a takeaway on a Friday night. The staff are so lovely and they know my other half by name 🤣 Sean.

Great atmosphere, and the staff are amazing. Food is superb and there is a great selection. I can't recommend here enough.

Great place to have a meal excellent food great staff

Really nice food and staff excellent

Beautiful place for Chinese food wonderful service and amazing food

A warm and welcoming atmosphere, staff who are attentive and passionate. Service with a smile, fantastic food and made to feel valued as a customer. 10/10

Very friendly staff, fabulous food, great atmosphere. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

The owner is an amazing lady, one of the nicest people you can meet. The food is excellent, all the staff are lovely. You will not regret going to this place.

Great Chinese food - both to eat in and also to take away. Wide-ranging menu (and if they dont have it listed, ask them - they are very flexible), friendly staff, and tasty food. But for me, what really impressed us was when they realised they had overcharged us, they called us up to admit to the error and then asked if we wanted a refund or a voucher to offset against a future purchase.

Staff were friendly. Food was freshly cooked, nice and hot. Is a little expensive but expected for the food.

The meal we had was okay but not the usual standard that we expect from the Oriental Palace

Not good. Unfortunately locals don't have much choice! Rather get a Chinese takeout from Waitrose/M&S

2nd visit to this excellent restaurant. The owner is lovely, friendly welcoming and nothing too much trouble. Food is also excellent. We had a set meal for 2 this visit and it was delicious good value for money. Definitely be back and I highly recommend it. 👌

Lovely host and waiters, delicious food and the warmest service you will receive, Book before 6pm and come hungry!

First visit Friday lunchtime. Superb food, best menu variety I've seen in a long time, friendly staff. Will be back soon, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great restaurant. Lovely food and fab staff

I travel here 30 mins drive every week it’s by far the best I’ve tasted … the staff and owner are lovely very down to earth and welcoming. The food is amazing!! We have tried so many dishes to which love them all. Reading some views from others with 1 star is just crazy , honestly this is the best about by far

Used to be a favourite of ours but not quiet what it used to be. Still really nice though.

Still fantastic food and lovely staff.

Highly recommend, the Food was beautiful and good portion sizes, friendly staff, our second visit and we will defiantly be returning.

It was beautiful tasted amazing we had the set menu A and it was cooked to perfection best Cantonese in Doncaster. The staff were police and nice setting also. Will definitely be going back

Such a lovely family-run business. You are always made to feel welcome. You can choose from a menu or they have a number of set meals. The food is really nice and plentiful. I think the fact that they are fully booked and always busy speaks for itself I would also say it is a wheelchair-friendly restaurant as there are no steps and everything is on one level. I Would definitely recommend this restaurant

The food was delicious and the service is excellent . We were made to feel welcome and the food was superb

We went last night for a meal for my 10 yrs old daughter’s birthday. It was her choice for a Chinese meal. The food was great but the service from the lady, who I believe is the owner, was terrible. My daughter is just starting out eating this cuisine, so it is all new to her. She chose something off the menu, but it was from the ‘hot’ section. She didn’t know, we didn’t know but the lady’s attitude was not sensitive. She then was rushing my daughter to make a decision. I did intervene but my daughter was already upset. I wish we would have walked out but we’d already got a round of drinks and I didn’t really know how upset my daughter was until too late. It was obvious that we were celebrating my daughter’s birthday but there was no mention of it until we were walking out of the door. We will not be back due to the woman’s brusque attitude.

Amazing restaurant and a lovely owner. I would definitely recommend this place, the food is amazing and the restaurant is kept perfectly. Thank you for always making our visits enjoyable.

Best Chinese food I have ever tasted! The restaurant is spotlessly clean. Very well furnished, plenty of space between tables. The lady who served us was really friendly and very accommodating to our wishes. Strongly recommend this restaurant

Excellent choice of food and attentive service. Went as a birthday party. We will go back as a couple the set menu's are very reasonable. The food is beautifully prepared. Fresh fruit to finish .

Not the first time we have eaten here so knew we wouldn't be disappointed . Staff friendly and attentive, food divine only downside was the limited time we had in the restaurant due to the next table booking so it felt quite rushed.

Very clean restaurant throughout, not a large eating area with 8 or 9 tables Comphrehensive Menu to select from. Prices above what you'd expect for a Chinese Restaurant, but the quality justifies the cost. Well worth a visit

New Years Eve set meal, great food and lovely staff

Would never go anywhere else for Chinese, once you’ve tried it you’ll never try another again, the best around! Definitely recommend the salt and pepper ribs, any any of the duck dishes too!

Not a bad little Chinese restaurant. Staff are lovely and helpful!

Our first visit to this Chinese restaurant and I must say we were not disappointed. Food was excellent service friendly,we will definitely be visiting again. We would recommend this lovely restaurant but it's a small venue so always best to book a table.

Great place, great service and fantastic owner

Best ever Lovely setting Value for money

We went as a party of 10 with 4 of us having birthdays this month and to simplify things we ordered the set meals for two --- more than enough excellent food served by pleasant staff and a character of a manager who made us welcome and couldn't do enough for us ---- and to cap it all 4 small individual birthday treats complete with candles --- to be recommended both for food and service by 10 very happy diners

Managed to squeeze us in quite early, but was worth coming early. Food was fabulous and staff are all lovely. I would strongly recommend this restaurant

Very welcoming and engaging. An all round fantastic place to visit you won't be disappointed definitely recommend

Amazing as always and fab for gluten free

Excellent quality and quantity and staff very friendly

We have been coming here for around four years. If we could give more stars we would. The food is perfect, the vibe is good and the service is excellent. Wendy the owner is just the best. Never had a bad meal here, it is consistently perfect and we are total food snobs and critique so it must be good. We come as often as we can and will for years to come! Highly recommend. 10/10

Excellent food & staff, would definitely recommend. I Would recommend booking as it gets very busy. Parking is a bit limited.

Beautiful food amazing & friendly staff

Love going to oriental Palace food is fantastic 😋staff so warm and friendly wendy the owner make you feel like one of the family Best Chinese in Doncaster

Went for lunch and what a delicious lunch it was and so reasonably priced, lovely owners and will definitely return next time we are in Doncaster Thank you

Absolutely love this place, went with family for Anniversary and Birthday in June and back again this evening for hubby's Birthday meal can't wait 😀 😋

Excellent food here, plenty of choices and served piping hot, would recommend a visit if you have not discovered this Chinese before

Lovely staff Lovely food definitely worth a visit

Best Chinese I've had in Doncaster.

The Oriental Palace is our go to Chinese and has been since we discovered it about a year ago. The service is great, the owner and staff are lovely and welcoming and the food is amazing. I love the curry parcels and haven't found anything like these elsewhere! Also the sweetcorn and garlic fried rice is to die for. Definitely recommend!

Took a party of nine for the first time and found the food,premises,lady owner and staff all excellent Would highly recommend

Food was amazing lovely atmosphere and staff were amazing too

Just called in on the of chance. Wow what a lovely little place. Food amazing and staff very friendly and fast service. Nice little family run Chinese

Great food with excellent service by friendly staff.

Fantastic service and lovely food.

Absolutely fantastic food as always and great friendly service. We always enjoy our time dining at the Oriental Palace, Sprotbrough.

This place is an institution for a good reason. They continue to turn out amazing Cantonese food day after day, month after month and year after year. Super friendly service and good sized portions. Highly recommended.

Booked a table and given a table that was placed at the point people squeeze in and out. Whilst ordering the food the manager advised us that chicken curry with peas and onions is not what you would get from proper restaurant, and she went...

Called in on the off chance of a table for two and the lovely lady owner managed to fit us in 🙂 The food was superb, one of the best Chinese restaurants we have visited 👏 Lovely ambience and service It was our 1st visit...

The food we ordered was very mediocre despite the impression given by the person who took our order. They made a big fuss when we asked about the ingredients in the curry and explained that their food contained better quality ingredients than a typical takeout...

Amazing service, fantastic food and great atmosphere. Highly recommended and will certainly be returning!

Fantastic service, amazing food and lovely atmosphere! Couldn't fault a single thing! Would highly recommend for an amazing Chinese restaurant.

Re visited the palace with my sister. Having been before I knew what I was about to expect and my oh my I was not disappointed. A lovely warm greeting by both the owner and her very attentive staff the place was busy as usual...

Absolutely stunning place with amazing food and staff. Absolutely lovely. Valentines day meal with my girlfriend. Couldn't ask for more ♥️

Lovely food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, very clean. Just a bit pricey on certain dishes and drinks and room temp a bit cold

Could not fault anything. Perfect food. Paced correctly. Delicious and great selection of fish dishes as well as your more usual Chinese dishes. Will definitely be going back regularly

CLEAN AND SAFE FOR Children of all ages

Lovely place very clean. Pleasant staff nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing.

Quality food nice place and atmosphere and nice people A+++

Average food but above average prices. Nice venue and staff

Owner is so friendly and generous with free food items when you ask her about China Palace and Chinese menu.

Just had an ad hoc visit to the restaurant and received outstanding service, and food. Thank you so much for such an amazing spread of first class food after a very busy day working and school etc x we will certainly be back to support...

Very friendly staff, great food and good service.

We hadn’t booked but we were so welcomed. We had an after work bite. Service very swift and all dishes tasty and nice. We would definitely visit again.

Been for food today staff and the owner very rude. Will not be going back there.

Lovely friendly staff quick on orders food delicious even offered us a doggy bag as we left some .

Amazing as always ❤ best place in Doncaster to eat

Had a takeaway with our friends for my 70th Birthday. Went there before lockdown and had a great meal. Unfortunately we were greatly disappointed. Meal was bland and overcooked.

So glad to get back here after lockdown. Always delicious food and fantastic service. Can't beat it. Already booked in for our next date night x

We visited oriental palace as was down for the local event of fishomania at hayfield lakes and the reviews looked good - we was seated fastly and ordered some drinks We then ordered our starter, me and my GF got half a duck and pancakes...

We chose here after reading reviews, salt content in gravy was shocking which ruined our meals as a family, first time also last for us, expensive takeaway!!

First time visiting today, my boyfriend and I came out for a Saturday night date. We was given such a lovely warm welcome. Its so cosy inside. The food was amazing, so fresh and tasty. We took the rest of ours home. I can’t believe how well priced the food is too. Great value for money. We will definitely be coming back.

Enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere staff very attentive

Lovely service. Food very good.

Brilliant as always, great food and efficient friendly staff

Not had many take out meals during lockdown... But, this one did not fail to hit the mark.... Tasty and, felt totally at ease upon entering with masks worn and sanitizer abound sitting on the delivery / collection table inside the door.... A friendly greeting...

Great food, great service. Tables maybe slightly close together, but a very enjoyable evening.

Decided to try here as some where different as our normal Chinese was shut and so glad we did. Food was delicious and they even catered for my mum who's coeliac. It was her first proper Chinese in about 5 years so she was over the moon when they were able to cater for her.

Great food...lovely service and felt very safe.

Lovely restaurant and staff really enjoyed our food. We visit this place a lot and they never disappoint 😊

An absolute must to visit. Fantastic meal at reasonable prices. Would recommend all the usual Cantonese dishes but also any of the fillet beef dishes and the Mongolian lamb hotpot. Service was first class. Thanks for making 2 birthdays very special. David

The food her is incredible my wife and I really enjoyed it I had the soft shell crab appetizer with salt and pepper it was lovely and Szechuan chicken with garlic. My wife had duck and then sweat and sour chicken. The service was great we will definitely be returning. I'm so happy we finally found the best Chinese in Doncaster!

Very safe environment, friendly staff, very good food.

Super friendly, super clean, excellent food.

Best Chinese about wouldnt go anywhere else

It sells Chinese food. What's not to love.
