We have used this place in the past and to be honest this was the first delivery in a while,staff did say it would be over 90 minutes before we got our delivery.We were expecting an amazing meal however we were presented with a bland tasteless cold,cold meals with a portion of chips that went straight to the bin due them being inedible hard and not fit for consumption.Well a lesson learnt from us.....maybe there is a reason on this occasion however other restaurants have upped the anti!!

My husband and I order regularly from The Richmond and are never disappointed but tonight they excelled themselves. My meal was outstanding. I asked for a slightly milder Szechuan chicken and it was excellent. It's got to be one of the Best Chinese meals I've had for a long time. Definitely won't be ordering from anywhere else. First class

We have been getting takeaways from the Richmond over the last few years, on a Saturday night, and have been very pleased with the quailty and flavour of our meals, and the service reveived.Regarding the last few takeaways, I can only say things have gone down hill fast, our starter of ribs, no meat on them, our chicken thighs and drumsticks, which is my favourite, was uneatable as to spicy, our main of chicken satay on skewers, chicken tough and no satay flavour, again usually very nice, our last two orders on collecting was short of rice first time, and chips second time, and on trying to phone to see if could be delivered, no chance as phoned 25 times, and still could not get through, and on mentioning on collection of next meal, no appoligae given or even checking our order we were picking up as we asked if everything there this time, to find once home item short.I know this is a very busy place for takeaways at week-ends, and when you arrive to pick up at a time they give you, still have to wait longer, and again no appoligae for the wait.Sorry but will be looking else where for my week-end takeaway, as good customer service does not cost anything, and customer feedback should at least be taken seriously.

Been ordering here most weeks for years but continually taking over two hours to deliver food. The first couples of times it would take two hours we were informed when ordering so we knew in advance but the last 3 times nothing has been said. Tonight ordered at 7pm and still waiting 2 hrs 30 mins later. Phoned to check on order to be told it’s not even left and this is to be expected on a Saturday. The woman is always unhelpful and rude on the phone. Food is a hit or a miss sometimes the food is really nice and other times cold and burnt. Time to look for another place that doesn’t take so long to deliver with better service.

Placed order for take away where payment was taken over the phone at time of order. Historically have been advised on the expected time for delivery where outwith 30 minutes, on this occasion no time was given. After waiting 2 hours (we have become aware of lengthy waits for take away whether collecting or being delivered) we called to enquire about our take away. At that time advised that everyone knows that Saturday night deliveries take over 2 hours! Eventually received take away around 2hrs and 50minutes from order. Absolutely not worth it, now looking at other restaurants which have better customer service.

This restaurant serves great food - better than you can believe. Seriously great food!! The problem is delivery times. Possibly hoisted by their own petard. Two and a half hours is excessive IMHO for delivery where 50 mins is ok. Blame the org not the driver. Shame. We go full family so ££££ lost to them.

My wife and I have been regular customers of this restaurant for many years. We often dine in and more often order food for collection or delivery. I have no complaints whatsoever about the quality of food or service when dining in the restaurant. Over the last few months, we had concerns about the quality of food when ordering a takeaway on Friday or Saturday nights and decided to refrain from ordering takeaway food on those nights. On Friday 28 February 2020, we decided to give it another go. We ordered a chopped breast of chicken curry with additional portion of side curry sauce as the main meal. Quite simply, the sauce was disgusting and inedible. I have attached a photograph of the sauce, which resembled the worst type of wallpaper paste. Unfortunately it is only a photograph I could attach as the video could not be uploaded. This is unfortunate as the video clip shows what words cannot explicitly describe. Rather than an immediate, I'm going to phone them and complain attitude, I decided to be more pragmatic by submitting an e mail on their website to raise the issue and invite a considered response. I thought this would be the best approach given we have been customers, as previously mentioned, for many years. Having failed to receive a response, I called in personally to the restaurant on the Saturday where the need for a verbal description of my complaint was removed as the showing of the video more than communicated the substance of my complaint. The waiter immediately stated that this was a matter for the Manager and my details were noted with the promise of an early phone call from the Manager. I refrained from being rude to the waiter who tried to offer a rather patronising tutorial on the consistency of curry sauce. I again invited him to view the video. He did. He spoke no more. The staff and management of this restaurant know exactly who we are as we have been regular for all those years. I am willing to accept the occasional poor meal but I won't be accepting a lack of response or associated courtesy. I am not after a freebie. I'll pay for my food....but no longer at this restaurant. And oh, I will be proactive in my approach in terms of discouraging friends and family from using this restaurant. Courtesy costs nowt.

My last review 4 years ago was a 4/5 but I wanted to remove and write a new one. The Richmond is always perfect whether sit in or takeaway. The quality of food never dips. People moaning about takeaway times when a restaurant is in there also, so can see why focusing on the restaurant side of it. Best Chinese for me in Glasgow, portion size, quality of food wise.

Pleasant clean surroundings and friendly staff but decidedly average cuisine.If you like bog standard chinese food with plenty of msg you wont be disappointed. We attended for dinner last night and were underwhelmed by the quality of the food.The Richmond share platter starter is definitely one to avoid, it consisted of inedible ribs which were purely fat, standard chicken nuggets and pre packed prawns in batter, the 4 chicken satay strips were the only acceptable items.We waited 20 minutes between courses and the restaurant was quiet when we arrived.Both main courses were disappointing a chicken and green pepper chow mien and schezwan prawns, both underwhelming.All in all very poor , would probably not return.

We always use Richmond for take away and have never been disappointed so we decided to have our Christmas meal with them. There were 12 of us so we had all pre-booked our preferences, we waited about 40 minutes for our meal which we understood as there were so many of us, the starters were fine, 6 of us ordered the turkey as a main, which we all wished we hadn't, it arrived and we though it was gammon steak, it was like a thick slab of bacon with a fat rim around it, there were probably about 4 very small roast potatoes, 1 small pig in blanket and 4 pieces of carrot (sliced) we then waited about another 40 minutes for the dessert which was mediocre, the meal came to over £550 and we all felt that it was not worth it. Shame. £60 service charge added on.

I have frequented the Richmond for a number of years, it has always primarily been a business lunch, I can’t rave about the experience, but I can guarantee the lunchtime menu and service will always live up to expectations. The decor and surroundings are in need of attention and investment, not desperate, but noticeable, that aside, the lunch always satisfies, served professionally and always with a smile , a warm welcome awaits accompanied with good value and table service

We have ordered our Saturday night carry out here for years as we love the food. My husband places a phone order and goes down to pick it up to hurry things along. Recently however we have been unhappy with the service. EG we were told on Saturday it will be 40 minutes and when he goes down he's been waiting over an hour since phoning. I understand they have the very busy restaurant and the take out/delivery is also popular but service needs to be sped up a bit and keep to the times given. Its not cheap so you expect high standards all round.

So I had been here years ago. We decided to give it a try. Oh man. I wish we stayed home. The decor is nice and clean. The food was... Dry. Even the ribs were so tough. The dinner of chow mein came and thank God for children as they ate it. I was so hungry ended up eating chips. No free prawn crackers. Even charged me £2,50 of diluting juice for the toddler. Who dropped the glass on the floor. Yes glass. They had no plastic cups for kids. Yep. Kid friendly if your child is over 6. £2.50 for drink of irn bru is ridiculous. I went to the local hotel for a business lunch and it was only £1.75 for a glass bottle. Money here is not well spent and would definitely not be going back here. The service was just as bad as the food. At one point my husband said are you OK? As our waitress was so down and very abrupt.

Visited richmond on friday night with my wife for a pre theatre and although the food was once again very good there were a few issues, staters were good but when mains were served there was a long black hair on my plate, when this was pointed out to staff they asked if i wanted a new plate instead of giving me one straight away and no apology and no more rice offered as they binned what was on the plate, after all that meals were very good, when the bill arrived we had been charged for two bottles of wine instead of one when this was pointed out again no apology, so we wont be back which is disappointing as this is my favourite Chinese in EK, need to work on those customer service skills

Eating on my own, without the pressure of needing to have a set meal for however many, I took some time out to enjoy some understated decent food. The ribs starter could have been cooked a little longer, but I ate early in the evening-maybe needed time to soften. The Szechaun chicken however was really nice, good crunch to the onions and peppers with a decent depth to the hot pepper sauce;. I liked it.

The good is always ok, never better than that. The service is fine. Unfortunately the food is hugely over priced. I was £15.90 for mixed satay and then had to pay for rice and drinks on top of that.

Second time we've visited (again lunch), and yet again fantastic food served in this friendly local Chinese restaurant. Starters:Hot & sour soup was delicious - good amount of heat, though maybe could have had hotter. Very generous amount of meat & vegetables served within (rather than the sometimes paltry offerings at other places).Breadcrumb chicken - succulent chicken coated in very light bread crumbs, which was well complimented by the chilli dip sauce. Mains:Rendang Chicken: very well made, lovely balance of flavours & generous portion. Definitely have again. Chicken with mushrooms: good sized portion that didn't scrimp on the portions. "Srummy" was the verdict We'll certainly be back, now clear favourite Chinese restaurant for us

Booked for 6 people on a Saturday night apparantly along with half of East Kilbride! Arrived 10 minutes prior to booking and waited approx 45 mins in their waiting area, at least we got seats, many more people standing. Given our menu in their crowded waiting area and then expected to choose our meal! The meal was lovely when we finally got to eat it. The service was good but a bit haphazard, it was really really busy and the staff were struggling to cope. Been here before and it was lovely but this was an awful experience and not one to be repeated. Greed is a terrible thing, if you're fully booked say so!

Visited recently in party of 10 arriving 15 mins before our booking and shown to holding area for a drink whilst waiting which didn't arrive for 15 mins.40 mins after our booking time I asked what was the hold up with our table to be told it was being set, 50 mins still not ready, 60 mins could get in as wheelchair was being moved so we sat down 65 mins after our booking time, another 10 mins waitress asked if we would like a drinks order after we had called her over. 5 mins later another waitress arrived to take a "complimentary" drinks order due to the wait, this then arrived before the other original order we had placed!!.....we then got to order our meals.so around an hour and a half behind our original booking time some prawn crackers actually arrived on the table!!When the mains arrived it took another 5 mins before any rice arrived, 3 sea bass dishes arrived 1 at a time and by the time they were filleted arrived on the table lukewarm at best. Service was chaotic and unprofessional.whilst the restaurant was busy as we sat down it emptied quickly yet the staff seemed more focussed on setting tables that were to remain empty that look to the needs of the diners who were there.As it was a birthday celebration and not wishing to embarrass the hostess we kept quiet whilst inwardly wishing to take the manageress to task, however would probably have been pointless as when my wife quietly and discreetly expressed her disappointment on the service and the fact the sea bass has taken so long to fillet it had been served almost cold it was met with no response. At the time of serving when remarking the dishes were cool the waitress did offer to reheat but as we were so far behind the other diners and having chosen to have freshly cooked sea bass we were not about to wait whilst 3 dishes were reheated.in summary the overall impression of the food was average at best, the service and staff organisation shambolic and ruined what should have been a pleasant dining experience. I suspect that the staff numbers could not cope with the amount of patrons as we were not the only table to be sat down well behind their original booking time, pretty bad reflection on the managements organisational skills

The food and service were of a very high standard. Great menu and attentive and friendly staff. Not overpriced but we'll worth the money. Very tasty grub. I'm going again tonight

We spent a very enjoyable Mothers Day here the food was very good with a very good selection and the staff were very attentive and responsive to any request, they even provided each mother with a free glass of Proscecco which was a nice touch and thoughtful

I've been coming here for over a decade and always enjoy it very much. The service is consistently excellent, the staff always very pleasant and attentive. The food is also always very good, I've never had a bad meal here and neither have the people I've visited with, very good quality and definitely worth a visit.

Having been to this restaurant several times I know the quality of food and service as their prices testify .We reserved a table for 6 a couple of days before our visit and checked again 2 hrs before our visit as this was a family celebration with 2 very elderly and infirm persons in our party.We were assured everything was fine...NOT SO... on arrival (on time) we were met by a very pleasant member of staff who apologised that our table wasn't ready and could we go to the bar area and have a drink for a few minutes.Reluctantly because of the mobility of our guests I agreed....we sat 45mins NO DRINKS AND NO STAFF... I approached the front desk and was beckoned to come to the table just short of 1hr late.....I would point out we were not the only people waiting on tables ...What's the point of a reservation if you don't have a table ...tell me you can't give me a table and that it'll be 1hr later for the booking...This is a terrific restaurant with great staff but the organisation last night was awfulThe food was the usual super standard but spending that amount and not even a drink while we waited is poor show for an upmarket restaurant. Must try harder......!

We have been to the Richmond several times and have loved both the food and service. However we went with a group of 24 friends for Hogmanay, not expecting much due to the size of group and time of year/ demand of extra custom. We were absolutely wrong to doubt them! The service was efficient and polite as always, even though the restaurant was full to capacity. A special Hogmanay menu was offered for an excellent price, as well as the usual a la carte so plenty of choice. There was little to no wait on food and if there was, this was opportunity to order more beverages. Everyone that was there commented on how good the food was and how reasonable the prices were. We have all been back at least once since...even those who travelled far to be there! Can't honestly recommend this place enough!

I placed a meal order to be delivered to my home, when the delivery guy appeared he went to hand me the food only for I noticed the curry was all over the bag which I was told the lid must have come off and if I wanted it now do I have mug written on my forehead I sent him away with it, to even take that out his car and deliver it to a customer is ridiculous only for I turned it away 5mins later someone from the restaurant called to say if there was a problem and would I like another meal well the answere was nope as I was not waiting another 40mins plus I should have been offered it free anyway ended up ordering else where, to me I think the driver probably speeding and my curry has been knocked about the car well I certainly won't be ordering from there again.

My first visit to this restaurant in a few years and after this I won't be leaving it so long in the future. Although we still use it on a regular basis for takeaway food.We were a group of 8 and and had good attentive service from the start backed up with delicious food.The only criticism I would have is they they don't leave the side orders of noodles or rice at the table and when we required more we had to look for a member of staff to serve us but the staff were on hand to serve almost immediately on most occasions.

Midweek visit with my daughter. We were only the second table in the restaurant. The restaurant itself was a bit on the cold side however I was seated next to a radiator so I soon warmed up. The starters of salt and pepper chicken wings and chicken and sweetcorn soup was delicious. The mains of Kung Po chicken and a chicken curry was also lovely with no complaints.We ordered a side of noodles which were very nice and the waitress stated that should we need more then we could at no extra cost. A pleasant experience...

We no longer live in east kilbride, we were visiting family and took a chance on getting a table, we got one at 7pm on a Saturday night, a large piece of luck, staff very friendly and efficient, service very good except on refilling the rice and noodles, food very nice and tasty, just as we remembered it, a nice place to eat, nice ambience, food varied and well presented, Dum Sum and chicken satay recommended, mandarin chicken also very tasty.

I've been going here on and off for a few years, but after a break of probably a year or so we went back for an evening meal, the food is just average now, I think peoples expectations have risen over the years but the Richmond just trots out the same old stuff, I remember now why I stopped going, don't get me wrong the food is OK and the service is alright if a bit on the pushy side with offers of more drinks every few minutes.At 54 quid for for two mains and two starters with a coke and a glass of wine...do I think it was value for money?NoAnother thing that bugs me is the hand dryer in the gents has had a broken flap for YEARS, but now it's finally packed up altogether but they haven't bothered to to put a sign on it, have some fun waving your hands under it. Come on folks you must be able to afford to replace it surely? There is no toilet roll holder either, they are almost in sight of a Screwfix depot, how hard would be to drill two holes and stick a couple of wall plugs in?It's no better than our local take away quality wise...just more expensive and yes I know they have overheads, but they need to up their game in my opinion.I think it's safe to say that was my last visit, it's a shame but they are locked in a time warp of the mid 80s.

My sister recommended this place and we weren't disappointed. We opened with the seafood platter for two and of the four parts, the battered piece was ok, but the other three elements were fantastic. Then onto beef in black bean sauce and some chicken dish which featured pineapple and coconut purée. Brilliant. The service was excellent and the prices fair. My parents got takeaway the same night and my sister (and her family) the night following and we all reckoned the food to be fantastic. Recommended.

Attended as a party of 5 for the pre theatre menu. We were quickly sat at our table and offered menus and drinks. Ordered a variety of starters including hot and sour soup, prawn toast, veg spring rolls and chicken and sweetcorn soup. They were all delicious with no complaints being aired. Mains consisted of prawn sambal; Kung po chicken; breaded chicken curry; lemon chicken and chicken satay with boiled and fried rice with a portion of noodles. Once again the food was lovely and freshly prepared. Dinner was rounded off with coffee, minus and fortune cookie. A very positive experience in our opinion with very polite and attentive staff. It is definitely worth a visit in my Wee humble opinion.

its the worst place ever to have a relaxing meal, not only did the staff have ignorant manners. the food was cold and crap we got hassled all the way through our meal ,all they wanted was to get us more drink,we didnt get a chance to eat it, before the waitress took our dinners away in front of our eyes shocking stuff,when i asked for the bill, there was change to be given back too us,but it never came back we sat for 5mins to give them a chance to bring our change back but there ignored us totally ,i ended up going to ask them what happened to my bill they said aw do we aw you something .again shocking stuff .what a nightmare.never to be repeated again , if karma has a way to reach out to the owners /staff i hope karma does its job .

We normally use the Richmond for special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries, however after a brilliant weekend on the Ayrshire coast we thought 'what would be good to round it off' The first place that sprang to mind was the Richmond Oriental, where I rate the food, the staff and the surroundings very highly indeed. I have never been disappointed in all my visits and would highly recommend this restaurant. This is the only place I have two starters, one being the hot and sour soup which is fabulous. Normally the prices are a little higher than normal, but as I said its for special occasions, however on this visit we used the pre-theatre menu which was very reasonable indeed.

Had not booked but in very quickly. Choice is wide and varied and good value. Service was quick, one dish was incorrect and changed very quickly with no fuss. The food was excellent as always and a visit to the Richmond never disappoints
