Oriental Star in Southwark

Delivered 10 minutes early by a polite delivery man via Just Eat. Nice and hot Free spring rolls and prawn crackers were a bonus but I don’t like prawn crackers… The Crispy Aromatic Duck was a huge disappointment. The pancakes (I ordered extra) were too thick. The 1/4 duck was dry, insipid and lacking in size and taste. Spring onions and cucumber were well prepared… The Beef with Onions were ok and Prawns HK Style were good. The special rice disappointed I won’t use the Oriental Star again

Love this place, treat myself to this takeaway at least twice a month. The service is great and the food is fresh.

We've eaten food from here many times and always been good. Nice people run the place and they're very friendly. Not sure what the comment about old prawn crackers was unless it was written by a competitor as they're always fresh and hot when we get our delivery. Would recommend!

I eat here all the time and the food is always amazing, definitely the place I recommend if anyone wants Chinese.

Nicest Chinese food in my area .

You can tell it's under new management because the food was late only to be awful. So bland and tasteless.

Pad Thai was awful. Honey Roast Pork was dry pork in watered down golden syrup.

delayed and cold when it arrived

They increased the delivery time to an hour and a half. Called to check and was told it was a mistake and would be with us soon. An hour and a half later... food arrives . The food was tasty but was cold.

Food was 15 minutes late and couldn’t get through to the restaurant. JustEat app was messing around so frustrating. Delivery driver was apologetic for lateness, food was okay but my drink and my prawn crackers were left off the order. I spoke to the restaurant and lady said she would call me back but she didn’t and that was three days ago

Between my wife and I, I liked the food more. Her chicken dish (ginger & spring onion) could have been more flavoursome and had more spring onion; my chicken dish (sweet & sour) was very red in colour but tasty. Enjoyed the egg fried rice. Mini spring rolls were definitely fried.

Ordered food for a friend. He said it was horrible. Chicken had no flavour and the rice tasted like it was a day old. Not pleased

Great food will definitely order again Set menu 3 Lots of rice

ordered yesterday evening. food was hot, delicious and on time. the delivery driver really made the difference though - he was so polite and courteous and really delivered 'service with a smile' even when struggling to find our house. please thank him for being such a pleasure to deal with!

Generally okay, but the sweet and sour king prawns were the worst I've ever eaten. Overcooked, doughy and not properly peeled.

Great food will be ordering again from this restaurant was the best I have tasted in a very long time

Food was late and really not nice...I have had to throw it all away as it did not taste good at all

It was great value for money! Quality was good, delicious. Order came earlier than expected and it was huge, much more than we could eat. Would definiteltly order again!

great food as always, just please read my note about which doorbell to press!

Great food as always and they followed our instructions regarding food allergies. Fantastic place and the barbecue ribs are divine!

We use Oriental Star all the time at our regular Chinese takeaway. The food is good, consistently, but obviously takeaway standard rather than fine dining...

Delicious food and hot. The chinese style duck was lovely. It arrived earlier than expected and the driver was so friendly and nice!

I asked for no onions or beansprouts but they decided to put them in anyway, the Duck was cremated the spring onions and cucumber were dry. The chicken balls were really doughy and the hoisin sauce was watery. Not a good experience.

It was all perfect I would order from them again

Food was priced reasonable.the food arrived earlier than the given time was no were near as good as some Chinese I have before but having said that much better than a lot of Chinese take away places portions was good as well

Amazing food as usual!! Driver so friendly!!

Love the food from this place. They've got a huge menu and everything tastes fresh and flavoursome. The staff are also really friendly, and on this occasion they delivered 20 minutes early. Top marks all round. We've tried a lot of local Chinese places - most have been disappointing, but this one is great.

Good food with a speedy delivery.

Good food. Nice flavours. Timely delivery.

Please add all of your food alergy info! If you just put a little (gf) for gluten free, (df) for dairy free, (ve) for vegan, (v) for vegetarian, it would be SO helpful. So many people have food intolerances now, you need to move with the times. The food was great though! Thank you.

Order arrived later than stated. . It took almost 2 hours to arrive. The delivery man was busy on a call when he arrived and did not apologise for being late. Food was average and not worth the wait. Not going to order from them again.

We've been ordering deliveries from them for several years. No complaints, we get what we pay for.. But recently there was a slight change in menu; shame they changed the sauce on the roast duck on rice. We prefer the oyster sauce to bbq sause..

Food was good. Delivery took long even though it's a 5 - 7 mins walk from my house. They added 10 mins to the delivery time twice now. Staff were polite and friendly but I wasn't allowed to modify my order even though they added 10 mins to the delivery time. Also they don't take card payments in the shop but they accepted orders from justeat. Overall staff were friendly and food was good. Just room for improvement

Noodles were bland and dry. Dimsum was undercooked. I asked for chopsticks, but I didn't get any. But everything was packaged very well and delivery was very speedy.

Ealier than advertised, tasty, cheap and huge portions!

Great food, very fast delivery. Will order again

over 40 min late took over 1hr 20mins to come

The chicken they are using in their chicken curry is very poor quality and I suspect is not chicken at all but rather some sort of substitute. The chicken was soggy and tasteless and the texture was not like normal chicken at all. The other food was ok. But I won't be buying from here again.

Very rude staff. Terrible food.

Decent, good quality Chinese takeaway

The steamed dumplings were nice. Everything else was a bit bland.

Excellent, squid starter is particularly good.

Food was quite nice but there delivery time was very poor. They need more drivers who are more polite. The compensation was a few cans of full fat pepsi and prawn crackers, which didn't really meet our expectations.

The rice was so bland.. the chicken curry was vile the sauce was way to thick!! 6 pancakes with a quarter duck was a joke half the duck left over & not enough pancakes!

Excellent food, delivery was quicker than stated - always a bonus!

Best Chinese I've had around here !

Quick, yummy and reasonably priced. Will definitely order from here again.

Delicious Chinese and arrived piping hot, but the wait was 75 minutes on a Wednesday! 😱

Food is good but delivery is embarrassingly bad AGAIN

Standard Asian food. Not great, was abit dry and we were really looking forward to our pork buns!

Amazing, hot food. Delicious as always!

Found is always great but please bring back the old way you made prawn crackers. They used to be so thick and tasty but the last few times, they have been really thin and greasy. Old ones we by far better

The food took an hour and a half to arrive, the delivery time stated was originally 40 minutes. When I rang the restaurant after an hour I was told they were only cooking it now. Delivery driver was nice. Food was hot and quality was fine when it arrived.

Took over 2 hours for the delivery to arrive from order. Arrived 40 mins after the scheduled delivery time. Not happy!

Normally really good. Today they were an hour and 10 minutes late. Bone in the duck so small I couldn't get all out so all pancake wraps ended up having some bone in. Hopefully this won't happen again?

Fantastic tasty food hot and fresh. Will definitely reorder from here again. Long wait for delivery but worth the wait 💯

First time ordering at Oriental Star, sweet and sour chicken was delicious, and the beef in black bean sauce will definitely order again.

Very tasty food. Delivery was 40 minutes later than originally expected. Restaurant threw in 2 cans of coke as an apology.

Excellent food not greasy just how I like it 10/10 😋 definitely be ordering from here again 👍

Food was full of flavour, would definitely order again!

Delivered over an hour late with little apology! Won't be ordering again!

Food was great, we order often. You can't get much better !!

Nearly an hour late but quite nice

Good food & very good delivery time. Would use again.

Honestly have tried 4 Chinese takeaways in the area and this was the best one! All food tasted good and portions were generous and cooked well! Would definitely recommend.

Was all amazing except the Crispy Shredded Chilli Beef was more crispy shredded sweet and sour than spicy and beefy! Bit of a shame, but was all otherwise fantastic!

Pork buns and duck were excellent, noodles tasted somewhat bland.

Ordered special fried rice and sweet & sour chicken Hong Kong style. The rice was very bland and tasted like it has no seasoning or flavour. The sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style tasted like it was left overs - the batter on the chicken was soft with no crunchiness to it. Very disappointed and not sure if I would order from this place again

Really disappointing food. Especially the chicken with cashews. The chicken was slimy and not fit for consumption.

Simply great - our new fave Chinese.

Great service and food as always. Best Chinese around!

Really nice food, took a little bit longer to arrive than we'd have liked; but it is Friday night. The pork and chicken spring roll was absolutely delicious - try it! I'd recommend and we'll definitely have it again.

I always order from here. Great food and delivered in good time

Restaurant needs to pass on specific instructions to delivery drivers - had to work really hard to convince the driver on the phone that I knew where I lived and he wasn't there. Chicken and veg sauce half emptied into carrier bag, wasn't fun to try and salvage. But fast delivery and really tasty!

Quick delivery, really nice food and good value for money

Our meal was delivered quickly and came piping hot. It tasted fresh and full of flavour. We've had many, many Chinese takeaways over the years but this was easily one of the best. We'll be returning time and time again!

Food is horrible. Tastes old. There is always more onions then meat itself. They always give old prawn crackers which is stacked underneath the counter. Warm pepsi. Just horrible. I have stopped going their. Not worth the money.

lovely char sui, awful beef black bean, cardboard rice and excessively battered salt n pepper king prawn

Very tasty food and good value for money. Delivery was here at the exact time we booked it for 😀

Very good. Serving is just right and food is delicious:-)

Very tasty food, quick and friendly delivery. This is our regular Chinese Take away.

Awesome. Never fail to impress :-)

Always very quick and food is always delicious. I have never had anything bad to say about them. I am a regular customer. Love them.

great king prawn in Cashew nuts

Fresh and tasty food delivered quickly

Very impressed, will definately order again!

The delivery driver was really friendly and lovely. The food was good, the Hofan was stuffed full of prawns and delivery was on time

Delicious food. Best I've had in SE London. Will definitely be ordering again,

Arrived late but still very good and hot

Super. Delivery was very quick. The food was good.

Second time we ordered and was a bit disappointed this time round. The HK chicken tasted like it was cooked yesterday and had hardly any sauce. Not very pleasant The rest of our food was ok but unsure will be ordering again. Shane because our first experience was great :/

Good quality food would definetly order again.

Enjoyable food, will use again.

Food was amazing!!! Delivered in 20 minutes!!! Very friendly driver!! Highly recommend!!

Food came quicjer rhen exoected soba fantastic delivery service. Food was a good standard. Annoyed because my special fried needles didnt have the meat and veg all mixed in. One sude was noodles and the other side was the meat and veg

Food was just as expected, takeaway standard and warm. Spent over £25 and got a couple of cans of Pepsi and prawn crackers for free. Delivery was on time, which is good for a Saturday night. I would definitely order from here again.

Delicious! Food came fast and hot!

The food came in 15 minutes and it was delicious!

Sweet and sour was okay but batter was a bit heavy. Prawn toast was delicious. Veg dish was lovely.

Everything was superb - although the chicken and pineapple was made with chicken that, we think, had been 'velveted' (a process used in some Chinese cookery that gives the chicken a silky texture). This made it a bit too smooth... However, the other parts of the meal were fantastic. We also loved the way that they telephoned back to us when they got the order, to check on our note that told them of my wife's intolerance to onions. Great customer service and very good telephone manner. Will certainly be using them again!
