Oriental Pearl in Basingstoke and Deane

This chinease has gone really downhill in the past few months,past two chinease I have had has been awufull won't be using again

Our favourite Chinese takeaway in Basingstoke

Wow I just ordered a 6 pound box mean and it is massive for that price is amazing and by far the best Chinese I have ever eaten they are always so welcoming very happy customer

I used once before many years ago and wasn't impressed, tried again last night due to my usual being closed and positive Google reviews, I decided to try again. So glad I did, amazing meal! The spring rolls weren't the best but everything else was top tier! Will use again

Would have got 5* if they provided the ‘proper spring rolls’ like they used to full of been sprouts pork etc instead of the frozen nibble rubbish..food was a little cold and for £28 I’d expect 4 ribs not just 2..hopefully this feedback helps…and for the love of food get rid of those ridiculous frozen spring rolls and filo triangles…otherwise very tasty and would order again

Amazing Chinese in Basingstoke will always use these as staff are Amazing food is amazing cannot fault it please use these people as you won't be disappointed

First time I have ordered from this takeaway restaurant and it will not be my last. Could not fault the quality of the food and arrived on time. One of the best takeaway food orders I have placed in a long time.

Really great food! A good find for Basingstoke

We ordered food online. We were still waiting 2 hours and when we rang to chase they couldn't care less. Then told us it would be another 20mins. I suggest you order from Blackdam this where our business will be going from now on. Very Poor service

Favourite takeaway, food always fresh, not too salty or greasy.

Absolutely disgusting chips. Extra oily and not edible. Complained and was told they would do nothing. Can re order BUT have to pay the difference AND delivery charge. We always order from here before but now it seems to have gone downhill. Extremely poor customer service. Up on complaining they cut me off the phone. DO NOT ORDER! VERY RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

Great food, lovely the freebie you always get

One of the best Chinese places in Basingstoke had the lamb curry and wow shredded pieces of meat would definitely order from here again . We live near the china garden I’d definitely recommend people try you guys out

Just arrived for a quick stopover and came across this takeaway! It didn't disappoint, the food was lovely, so tasty and was served fresh and hot! The chicken balls are amazing! Couldn't fault anything!

Best chicken chow mein I've ever had!!! If I could move this chinese back to Scotland I would

Used to come here regularly in 1999 to buy spring rolls on my lunch break. Been back again in 2023 (>_< yes, I'm old) to buy salt-pepper-chilli chips (national heritage) and loved it. Great service. Accept card payment. Friendly staff. Delicious chips. Buy from them 👍

fabulous food, would recommend delivery as calling an order through, you take a back seat to other orders, seemingly regardless of what time you arrrange pick up .

Just had our first meal from here, have to say we weren't disappointed, will definitely be using again, can highly recommend giving them a try if you are thinking about it.

Excellent food and service. Very impressed

Just had mushroom chow mein wet, egg fried rice and curry sauce. It was so good!! Tasted really fresh. Great price. Lovely staff

Food is a bit hit & miss. Some of the items are great, others not so much. It's more of a takeaway place than a restaurant, although they have a couple of seats to sit and wait for your order.

Just had a delivery from this restaurant, can honestly say it was fantastic. The service was great and everything was delicious.

First time we have tried this restaurant. Ordered the set menu for 3. Could easily have fed 6. Portions are absolutely huge. Great variety and easily the best chinese food in Basingstoke. The order was on a Friday night(so busy) and delivered only 5 minutes late. Will definitely be back for more!

Bought take away for delivery. Waiting time was excellent half of suggested time. Food was superb! One of the best meals in the town Hot, tasty, spicy enough, excellent price!

Decided to try somewhere new to get our Chinese. Can honestly say this is the nicest Chinese I’ve ever eaten! It was delivered super quick considering it’s a Friday night! And it’s piping hot, and very fresh! Will definitely be my new go to place, literally so yummy!!

Best Chinese in Basingstoke, the missis kindly introduced me to the set meal for one options which gives you a generous sized combination of choices at a very reasonably priced 10 quid , crispy chilli beef great to. Introduced this place to the in laws , there favourite to. Very tasty food

Very nice meals to take out and have them to delivery it for you

I work in a care home and ordered 43 takeaways for our residents. The food tasted lovely,there was lots of it,a good ratio of meat & veg and it was great quality .I have ordered personally for family twice this week and for me personally it is the best chinese i have ever used and also the malaysian dishes are great. I am fortunate to have travelled in asia several times in the past so am pleased i have found a local takeaway that offers food as if in the country of its origin .Highly recommend !!!!

First try and very impressed with the standard of food quality, definitely use again soon.

I ordered shrimp thai green curry and I got beef green curry instead. When I returned the food that I didn't eat I only received back £4.50 when I paid £7.60 for the dish. It wasn't the first time that they messed up the order... not recommended.

Great food with a massive variety.

For me this is if not the best it's the joint best chinese in this town absolute quality food every single time delivery was about 15 mins late once but still did not complain as the food is just so good

One of my favourite Chinese takeaways in Basingstoke, massive choice of food, fairly priced although I've not seen them on Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats which is annoying.

Ordered takeout very slow cooking the food 🍲and to be honest food was not that great

As this Chinese has got more popular over the last year or so the standard and quality of food has dropped big style. Our order was nearly 1 hour over the delivery slot we were given. The food was cold and no where near as good as we've had. I have been using this Chinese for a good while now and have spent £100's with them but last night was the last time I'll be ordering from OP and going back to Oriental Break.

Lovely meal last night, felt so fat after cos it was very large portions they do there.

Can't say enough good things, portions are good, the food tastes good, the staff are friendly. Will go back

Never had a disappointing meal from here. Easily the best Chinese takeaway. The mini chicken balls are amazing.

Been going to this take away, on and off for many years. Never had a bad meal. Really recommend the king prawn curry.

Food was great. Priced ok. Delivery nice and quick came within 40 minutes of ordering. Food was nice and hot when arrived.

On a day out to Basingstoke we found a gem as we ordered Malaysian food and my family was delighted with the food's authentic taste. It is highly recommendable as the staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will visit again!

As it's lockdown we decided to have a Chinese meal from Oriental Pearl Basingstoke. As usual, it didn't disappoint. Plenty of food and all very good. Would recommend.

Always brilliant food lovely staff and its always a pleasure merry Christmas:)

nice and clean, very polite.... Currie is beautiful... used to go somewhere else... but gave here a try and loved it... value for money....

Good selection of various cuisines however the chicken is somewhat dubious. Update - Chicken much improved

Been a regular user of this takeaway since it re-opened with new owners and it is without doubt and with knowledge of all other takeaways in the area, the best. Fabulous meal last night .mixed Sambal was just gorgeous. Chicken curry was excellent and the prawn crackers are thick and oil less and very crispy. Other recommends are the huge quantity of balls in the sweet and sour dishes and all the rib dishes are excellent, with the proper long meaty ribs and not the RIP off small ones as done elsewhere What's really mpressive is that the food is absolutely consistent week to week.Be careful though as the portions are generous.

We've eaten here a number of times and always been very happy with the results. They have a varied menu of Chinese and Malaysian dishes and all are good.

Ordered takeaway on phone and collected as an hour on delivery, all hot and all very tasty, over £25 so got 4 free mini spring rolls, one of the best in Basingstoke.

Best Chinese takeaway in basingstoke.

Today is the first time we have used this takeaway and we are not impressed. Mongolian lamb delivered without plum sauce, sweet and sour chicken balls delivered without sweet and sour sauce. Chicken balls in a thick doughy batter instead of being crisp. Chips dry and cold.Won't be using them again

The best in Basingstoke, in my opinion.

Love the food here. Best place in Basingstoke if you ask me. The staff are really helpful and friendly.

Best in basingstoke the steak and chips is amazing not had a bad meal from this place and crispy chill chicken with carrots is great too

If you want food poising this the place to go to. I was due to fly out for a meeting. But unfortunately I’m stuck home being sick due to this place I’ve also reported this place to food and hygiene officials

Friendly staff. Good takeaway, probably the best in Basingstoke to be honest. The crispy chilli beef is great.

First time for me and absolutely lovely,, Will definitely order again

Special sate was amazing. Friendly service too

The food was excellent a great meal

Good food staff friendly and good value for money

Great food, great portion size, lovely staff. Had a meal from here for the first time since it wasn't 'Jims' and it was a pleasure.

Fantastic Chinese food! All cooked fresh and is delicious. I went for the set menu which was more than enough food for two people. Recommended

Love this place - all the Cantonese classics, and definitely worth trying the Malaysian dishes. To the other reviewers unhappy with their curries - Agra is 2 mins down the road, it's their specialty!

I always used to go to this takeaway when it had its previous owners, like anything t had become a bit old and tired. When it closed for a refit and change of owners it was welcome news.After a few teething issues that it would be fair to go into, after all I have now had two very positive family takeaways and very much enjoyed the food experience.Welcoming and friendly staff, clean and nicely laid out waiting area, well presented menus, good food, reasonably priced.The Oriental Pearl ticked the boxes for me especially as the portions are very generous, I made the mistake of over order the 1st visit, but last night cracked it.Well done to them and I really hope they have many happy years there.

Counter staff should have been supervised due to young age

Really disappointing. Bought a chicken curry and a vegetable curry and it all went in the bin. Something horrible about the flavour. Loved Jims so very sad

Definitely one of the best Chinese takeaways in Basingstoke. Only downside is that parking to collect is not easy however once you do manage this the food will not disappoint. Be wary when ordering that you will be asked if you want a large portion size which is the same size as you normally get elsewhere but this is not something to mark down on, just be aware when ordering

We used this Take-away 3 times now, first two times couldn't fault it at all and were happy but the third time wasn't anywhere near as good as the order was 50% wrong. Ordered Sweet & Sour ribs and got Sweet Chilli instead which was very spicy. Also ordered 1/4 Crispy Duck complete with pancakes etc. but only got the Duck and Spring Onions, now pancakes or Cucumber. Will make sure we get the right things next time.Also, there are double yellow lines and a restricted zone outside the shop, there is a carpark 10 yards/meters away to park in but cost 50p if you go before 6 pm so use it as this is a narrow road with regular buses including late night time!!!

Went to OP thinking it was Jim’s as I heard a lot of good things about it .I’d say this was a very good Chinese! Best Chinese takeaway I’ve had in Basingstoke

Great quality foot defiantly Worth the money

Chicken curry terrible if it was chicken.chips were cooked to death.jims was far better.wont be back.

Lovely food and staff...shame it's cash preferred. We loved Jim's and the family but I'm sure this will do just as well.

First visit to “what was Jim’s” .... great all round. Fresh hot good tasting food. Will go back 😊

Nice food in basingstoke no complaints in all the years I've eaten from there

Really pleasant people at Jim's. 10/10

jims makes the best curry sauce in the world and the best chips
