We have been coming here almost every week for the past 2 years. We came in on a Saturday evening at 9pm to be told no tables available. There were only 2 tables occupied - they were definitely not fully booked - they did not want any more customers. We said to the very rude waitress ‘we have been coming here for years’ her response was ‘I know - I don’t care’. I really hope the owner Lynn is proud to have you working for her? Your loss is a competitors gain. I always questioned the poor reviews this restaurant received but can now see why. The food was lovely - the staff NOT!

Very disappointed with our meal this evening. This was our third or fourth meal here, but the service has definitely gone down hill quite a lot. My main was the Lamb with ginger, the meat was very chewy, though the taste was good. The very young staff seemed more interested in chatting to each other than serving. When we paid the bill we did not even get the usual hot towel and fortune cookies. Our next Chinese meal will be a takeaway from the place at the other end of town!

One of our favourite Chinese, and when we go to Burnham we tend to stop off here for a meal. The food was very tasty and despite booking it for 6pm, we arrived in a very wet and windy Burnham too early. After trying to walk on the beach we gave up and went to the restaurant who were happy for us to go in early.The food was hot and fresh and we were not rushed at all. The drinks were reasonably priced and we really enjoyed our visit. The price was reasonable too, although we ordered several dishes and starters we were surprised that the bill was so reasonable.

Came to Burnham on Sea for a caravan weekend. Was my partners birthday and was a really nice meal. Was on a Sunday and the only 2 in the restaurant so service was great! Food tasted lovely and dishes were quite big so we couldn't eat it all. It did all come out within about 5-10 minutes of ordering which was interesting, so I assume it was heated up but it tasted amazing so can't complain really :)

we booked to eat here to eat on Friday. Booking in advance was accepted via email. They accommodated our table of 7. The staff all wore face masks and the restaurant was covid 18 friendly. The waitress went through the menu with us and explained all the dishes we had questions about. She helped us with our youngest child's meal choice (there is no children's menu) but I ordered the sweet and sour chicken. This portion was big enough for our 4 year old to have a few pieces and he was happy saying they were the best chicken nuggets he had eaten :)Food was reasonably priced, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be returning next time we stay in burnam on sea

I was dining alone tonight, having an evening to myself, and was very happy with my meal and the service at Taste of the Orient. The waitresses were delightful young women, friendly and very knowledgeable of the food, and were working hard to keep everything clean and hygienic in light of Covid. I only had vegetarian "chicken" in tao pang sauce with egg fried rice, but I enjoyed every mouthful! The hot towel and fortune cookie at the end were a nice touch.

Literally just picked up a takeaway from this establishment as the normal takeaway our relatives use was closed due to chinese new year. I dont think, I know this was the worst takeaway I have ever bought and considering spending just over £40 on it I'm not best pleased. The chicken balls came with a pot of vinegar (not sweet and sour sauce). The special chow mein was nothing like it should be and looked more like a birds nest. The chicken curry wasn't chicken curry for sure and my wife was nearly sick after a mouthful. Not one of the dishes we had came with any sauce apart from the random sauce in the chicken curry, I could complain about every single dish but i think that is enough to show people on trip advisor that it's not great at all. Wife has now gone back to town to find a different source of food and it all went in the bin.

I visited taste of the orient in September of this year as an anniversary meal with my partner. It was the first time I had visited for a while, I noticed the portion sizes seemed to have shrunk since our last visit and the wait time for our meal was ridiculous. So having waited for our main course for almost an hour I was crushed at how little food we had to share between the two of us, we left feeling cheated as our meal was very expensive for what we had received. We were in town at the weekend just gone for the Christmas light switch on with our children, we were starving and the taste of the orient was the closest restaurant that had a table available. We went in to ask for a table and we were greeted by new waitresses. I enquired as to why there was all new waiting staff, to be told that the restaurant is now under new ownership, as of carnival night. We were seated at a table and served very quickly. The portion sizes were double what we had last time (same price) and tasted amazing. The wait staff were friendly and very accommodating to my two young children. Telling my little boy he could have a lolly if he was a good boy and ate all of his dinner. This experience was so much more pleasant than my last visit, we have booked in again for a family meal before Christmas. Looking back through the reviews of this place over the last few weeks it seems as though it had gotten very bad, so let’s hope the new owners keep up the good work! ☺️

We have visited here before and had good service and food, however last night we went with friends for dinner arriving early in the evening, the restaurant was busy but expected on a weekend, the order was taken quickly and the first part of the set meal delivered reasonably quickly, however none of the staff asked if we wanted drinks after the first order was taken, we had to ask and the main course took ages to arrive. At the end of the meal which took 2 1/2 hours in total ! The waitress asked if everything had been ok, when we asked about the delay we were told they had been busy with telephone orders, no one at any point came and apologised for the delay and it appeared everyone was waiting a long time for their food whilst the takeaway orders didn’t, I totally support local business’s and like them to do well but last night seemed to be chaotic which is a real disappointment.

We decided that as a treat, we would go to the Taste of the Orient instead of getting a takeway from another establishment in town. The first part of the evening went ok, we were served relatively quickly and drinks were served pretty much straight away. The first couple of courses came within a normal time scale, but the next course arrived 2 hours after we arrived at the restaurant. At no time, did the serving staff come and offer us more drinks, despite the staff hanging around the bar when they weren't taking food orders to customers. One staff member advised that they were so busy, the kitchen couldnt cope which is why everything was so slow. No apology for the delay. Another member also said that the kitchen couldnt cope, but she did offer an apology. In the past, the owner kept a very close eye on her staff, ensuring that the customers had drinks and advising people on timings etc. There didnt seem to be anyone in chargeNext time we fancy a chinese, we will be sticking to our normal take away. Such a shame as it has always been a reliable place to go.

I am not in the habit of writing bad Trip Advisor reviews, however I'm left no choice after writing 2 polite letters to this restaurant and having them both ignored. I have had lovely food from the this restaurant and often recommend it when asked by people where to eat in the town. Sadly, back in July my vegetarian partner was served chicken. For anyone who has had the meat substitutes, you will know they are very good! So it took us a while to realise. As soon as I did, we told the waitress who, instead of apologising, blamed us. During my discussion with the manager, the same waitress said 'It's not like it's an allergy, it's a lifetstyle choice'. So it doesn't matter if you serve meat to vegetarians as it's only a lifestyle choice? As we were leaving the restaurant - unhappily! - my friend asked the waitress 'Do you not get how big a deal this is? She hasn't eaten meat for 40 years. The waitress laughed and said 'Not my problem'. I didn't want anything for free from this restaurant - I haven't been back. What I wanted was a proper apology and an acknowledgement that their staff had been rude and should not have spoken to paying customers in this way.

We were seated near the part where the takeaways were ordered, and the waitress had to walk through to serve etc, and so my chair was continuously kicked or knocked.

I had been to the taste of the orient many times and absolutely loved it. We went there on the 6th of July with my partner and a fried and we ordered 2 vegetarian set menus and other non vegetarian dishes , one was a chicken kung po and a veggie Kung Po . We started eating and my partner noticed something funny about the veggie kuna Po and age ashes the waiter of that was the vegetarian and he says not that’s the chicken . We told them that we were vegetarians and the waitress said, did you not notice the extra chilies , no we didn’t, she was very dismissive and never apologize and went off. We told them repeatedly that I had not eaten meat in 40 years .The bill came in full , and my partner asked if they were really going to charge us the full amount , they offered to take 10% and then took one vegetarian meal off . I have never felt so disrespected as a vegetarian , the waitress said and I quote

I ordered grilled chicken breast with garlic and wine sauce , what I got resembled and tasted like a frozen birds eye steak that had been fried and certainly not grilled and was sitting in a vinigary liquid .

Ordered the Singapore noodles and although I really liked how clean it appeared i.e not swimming in grease the dish was very tasteless and contained no chillies! It also contained hardly any meat at all just tiny minute meat cubes scattered. Very disappointing and unfulfilling. It was the same with the chow mein dish. The sweet and sour chicken balls were pleasant but just lacked depth of flavour. The sweet and sour sauce was too thin. The chicken curry was very strange and was left by everyone. The "crab" and sweetcorn soup was the best dish because it had some favour! The portions were quite small for the price so this coupled with the lack of flavour we won't rush back.

Visited last night and were pleased to get one of the last tables as we had not booked. Friendly staff and generally good service. However, the food is not good- never had Singapore noodles without any chillies before. Schezuan chicken again had limited taste or spices and very gloopy. Lamb in chilli sauce was just cooked lamb in bottled sweet chilli sauce- I’ve cooked better myself!. The noodles were advertised on the menu as hot- totally incorrectly. Raised with staff and was told they had to dumb down the spices as others had complained. So don’t go if you want flavoursome and aromatic Asian cuisine. If they are catering for the less adventurous with this non- authentic taste I would suggest you would be more suited staying at home with a microwave meal.

I really don't understand how anyone can give this place 5 stars. The food is strange for a Cantonese restaurant. We ordered a Singapore fried rice and vermicelli. Both were not spicy at all. The pork balls were made with mince meat instead of pieces of meat and the sweet and sour sauce was thinner than water. The prawn chow mein was ok but not the best and all came in the smallest takeaway cartons you can buy. All.in all it was really poor. If you know Cantonese Chinese food you will agree with a 0/5 If you know nothing you will give these guys a 5/5.

Visited here for my partners birthday meal and we were very impressed, we both had chow mien which was the best we have ever had! I also had taste of starters for my starter which was lovely! We had free prawn crackers to start as well.

We were stopping in the town for a few nights & decided to finish our break off with a chinese meal. We certainly made a good choice as we found the food and service to be of excellent quality, The choices were varied & reasonable priced as was the wine list. All in all we enjoyed a excellent meal, and would recomend.

The restaurant is well decorated and I found the staff well presented and polite. There was a good range on the menu and the quality of the food we ordered was very high.

Cycling round the coast of Britain in stages...Sept 2017 leg...after finding a marvellous B & B our next thought was food. Having read various reviews of various restaurants we chose Taste of the Orient. We couldn't have made a better choice. Excellent service and excellent food.

I am not a fan of Chinese cooking in the U.K. (outside of China Town in London where the food can be excellent) so when we visited my daughter and Son in Law and it was suggested we had a Chinese takeaway my heart sank.

The food is excellent, the prices mid-range, we have tried others in Burnham on Sea, but this is the best.

Worth noting that this restaurant is NOT open at lunchtime despite the website and trip advisor saying that it is.

I have just returned from another weeks Holiday in Brean just outside Burnham and went to the Taste Of the Orient Chinese Restaurant and the food is Fabulous and at very good prices. The young waiters and waitresses are all excellent and very good at there job. The Manageress who is obviously the Owner can be heard shouting and barking orders at the young members of staff which we found very funny and entertaining but some people might not like this approach from the owner.

Being able to eat curries in Birmingham I am used to a good standard. This restaurant is well equal to these. It has a very good menu and the staff are very friendly. If you want a curry then try here.

What can I say about this place. I ordered a takeaway and on arrival I was told that it was not ready at the agreed time and I would have to wait. While sitting waiting I could see into the kitchen. I noticed an order waiting to go out. After waiting 30 minutes pass my pick up time and watching other customers pick up their orders I decided to ask where mine was. A young man who referred to me as MATE said he would look for it. Well to my surprise he brought out the order that I had seen on the side from earlier. He passed it to me and I could see that it was cold. I asked if it could be reheated and at this point the manager who is the rudest person I have ever met came over and said that it would not be recooked and I should microwave it when I got home. Spring rolls in the microwave. Yum. I like them soggy. I then asked for my money back to which the manger said she didn't have time for me and pushed some cash into my hand. No apologies, nothing. She also has no grasp about food safety regarding reheating rice etc. The service here is disgusting and the staff disorganised. Customers in the restaurant had to ask continually for their drinks. No one has a clue what is going on. Save your money and get a takeaway from DragonRise down the road.

Dined here over the weekend., food extremely tasty, well presented and hot.a little delay on duck dishes,but staff apologised. Young staff working very hard, and polite. Used as takeaway before but well worth dining in.

We went for an evening meal while on holiday in Burnham-on-Sea and managed to get in without booking a table, although if we had arrived not much later than we did (around 7pm) we may have had to wait. We ordered set meal B for 2, which a lot of people there that evening were doing, each course arrived quite quickly, service was very good and the staff friendly. The food was as good as any other restaurant I have been to and was the right quantity for the two of us.

Had a fabulous takeaway from here while staying in Burnham last year, and had been looking forward to repeating the experience during our return this year. Sadly, not to be. Had the hors douvres to start. Dry spare ribs were overdone and tough, and the salt n chilli squid were soggy, rubbery and chewy. (and that was just the batter). Couldn't taste any hint of chilli either. Chicken satay to be fair was spot on! You win some, you lose some!

We got a take away from here whilst on holiday after reading the other reviews about it. Certainly, the staff are welcoming and friendly. Food wise, I didn’t think it was worthy of the other reviews I had read but I live in Scotland and maybe it is down to differing tastes and/or how the food is made north and south of the border. The food had some reasonable flavours to it and I did eat it all, but I wouldn’t rush back for another.
