We traveled from Redcar to see family, tonight we decided to havexa meal out. The food we had was from the buffet menu. Jesus it was fantastic. The bill was £130 you might think that is strep but that includes drinks for 4 weeks had two drinks eack As far as the food is concerned, it was very well presented, hot and in a great quantity. The staff were extremely friendly, not pushy yet concerned that we had everything we requested. Well done we will be back!!!

I was very dissatisfied with my takeaway order (10081267). - Really the only thing I found tasty at all was the Prawn Toast. - The egg fried rice was extremely bland - I understand it's a side to a saucy main but the sauce on each of the mains was bland or overly bitter also. - The Peking Beef had a misleading image on the web platform - What was delivered did not look like it. I tried to get in touch with the restaurant directly but their contact email didn't work and they didn't answer the phone.

Not great. Service was very slow. We arrived at 7.30 and didn’t get our mains until 9.30. All in all, 3.5hrs of sitting waiting wasn’t enjoyable. Small portions if ordering from the set menu so either way something before, or choose a la carte.

Ate in the restaurant. Quality of food has gone down massively. Chicken and mushroom was so salty we couldn’t eat it. House wine was under proof at 5.5% but still charged at full rate. Pork dumplings were still frozen in the middle. Was with people that get embarrassed if you complain, so we ate what we could and left. Overall it was poor so definitely would not return.

Recently was away in the area and spotted this place mentioned as good place for those needing gluten free food. I was a little dubious, and there was a few negative reviews in general recently but went down to speak to them. The chef came out and advised me she was Coeliac and showed me the separate gluten free frier, resting area and advised me all the tools for gluten free bits were different colours. Feeling reassured, they advised me they could essentially do any of the items gluten free and dairy free. So I excitedly went for sweet and sour chicken balls and lemon chicken. I’ve not had sweet & sour chicken balls since I was a child…. So I was pretty excited about this… All of the food items came out marked up as gluten & dairy free (I’m a coeliac and allergic to cows milk) The rice wasn’t the nicest rice I’ve ever had at a Chinese restaurant, but the rest of the dishes more than made up for that. Being able to have sweet and sour chicken balls again was amazing…. And they tasted really good. The place is good value, I really enjoyed the food and their ability to cater to allergies was fantastic.

Have driven past this place many times for years and always threatened to give it a go so we had a takeaway. Really hoped it would be good but unfortunately wasn’t great. We had a pork chow mein which was pretty tasteless, just tasted of bean sprouts and nothing much else. Chicken curry was sort of gloopy and perhaps a bit sweet which is unusual for a curry. Egg fried rice looked more like steamed rice and we also had spare ribs which tasted like they had been doused in watered down tomato ketchup. Unfortunately I wouldn’t use it again although the girl on reception was really friendly.

We booked a meal at the restaurant. After waiting for over an hour we still didn’t get our meal. The staff were far too busy doing take-aways. We were simply ignored, after politely asking for our starters. The plates were given to the wrong people, when we highlighted this politely. I had a plate thrown onto the table in front of me. Very rude and we will never go there again. It used to be a great restaurant, it certainly isn’t anymore.

We just had probably the worst Chinese takeaway we have ever had, and I’ve eaten in Birmingham… Ordered and delivered on time, from there it all went south. The pork (?) dish had 2 tiny slithers of meat on top of some horrible gloopy mess of a sauce. The spare ribs were literally painted bones, not even a CSI could find any trace of meat. The prawn crackers were soggy and black in places, inedible. The special fried rice had zero anything but rice in the container. It seemed old and hard. The chicken balls were more like sparrows balls. Tiny, dry and lacked any kind of flavour. The whole lot was cold to add insult to injury… I’ll upload photos so you can see for yourselves. I called to give feedback and the girl who answered the phone literally said “Sorry about that”. I guess the complaints must be numerous and she just switches off to them now. No wonder places are struggling to make a living if they dish up a mess like this. Utterly horrendous. Avoid at all costs if I were you.

We will not be eating here again. We decided to try this place for the first time, for takeaway. Because we haven't eaten here before, we decided to order something very simple : sweet and sour prawn balls, vegetable chow mein, pork fried rice. And this was by far the worst Chinese takeaway we have ever had. The fried rice was pure white, not a drop of soy sauce or seasoning touched it. There was very little egg, no spring onions (the flavour of fried rice comes from the spring onions and the scorched soy sauce..). It was literally clumpy boiled white rice mixed with bits of pork and peas. We have never had fried rice this bland before, with the rice grains all stuck together in clumps. And it was very greasy,and not in a pleasant way. The sweet and sour prawn balls were so soaked in oil that when biting into them, they squirted with pure oil inside our mouths. They were also very wet, and mushy, falling apart inside the bag, and the bag itself was completely soaked in grease and stuck to the balls at the bottom. Horrible wet mess. And as for the chow mein, again, like the rest of the meal, completely coated in grease. No flavour, just grease. One mouthful, and my lips were shiny with grease, and grease was dripping down the noodles when picking them up with a fork. Just picking up the noodles, you could see drops of oil dripping down from there, and I had to wipe my mouth after every bite because my lips were completely coated with grease. We will not be returning here again. Everything tasted like dirty grease and oil. No thanks. And not cheap either, £19!!!! Most of it went in the bin, we ate a bit of the rice and a few mouthfuls of chow mein, tried eating a prawn ball, then we started feeling sick from the grease and threw away the rest. On a side note, when picking up our food, I noticed the entrance waiting area had a very strong smell, almost like a toilet that hasn't been cleaned for a while. Not pleasant.

The first course was so poor , 2 chicken satay which were very dry , garlic mushroom over cooked and prawn toast was burnt . Ordered a gin and tonic for wife , £7.50 ! And not sure it even went near the gin optic there was so much tonic in it . Main course was no better , rice was dry and stuck together , crispy beef was so over cooked you could snap it !! Sweet abs sour chicken was ok ,we had gone with friends who live nearby and said it was nice !! Even they admitted it was pretty poor

Really not great. Must be cause if it’s location but not authentic Chinese. Like the chef is trying to cater for a small British town that’s never tasted true Chinese food. The starters coated in sugar the main was the same. The staff tried but when I asked for saki that’s on there menu they didn’t have a clue what it was. Also two couples sat eating for romantic Sunday dinner and staff being young playing house and dance music. Wasn’t appropriate for the atmosphere and made me feel embarrassed that March doesn’t have much culture at all.

We were in March for a function over the weekend and were looking for somewhere to eat on the Friday night. We fancied Chinese and found this restaurant on tripadvisor. We had the set menu where you choose 8 starters from a selection, crispy duck and then 4 main courses. All the food was delicious and full of flavour. Maybe we could of done without the duck as the portions are huge. All service were excellent, efficient and attentive. A previous review complains that all service staff are british and not chinese, who cares they were brilliant and I'm not sure what difference their nationality makes. Would recommend and If I ever went back to March id eat there again

Used to be good but a little while ago ordered a takeaway which wasn't very good. Had a need to order another and thought maybe the last time was a one off. How mistaken I was. Excellent yuk sung to start. False sense of security...crispy duck is chewy, dry duck (precooked and reheated?) with pancakes that split and fell apart (old and dry?). Chicken fried rice with no seasoning and no sign of any soy with dry chicken. Overspiced, pretty much inedible szechuan King prawns. Never again!

We had a lovely meal here, the way their buffet works is you can choose 8 starters, and do this twice, then optional duck course, then choose a main like rice and sweet and sour chicken. Sounds like you don't get much choice but it was a great amount of food and we had a really nice time. Staff were lovely, food was cooked well and the wait time was short between each course. Would highly recommend and are also taking part in the 50% off scheme so was a real bargain!

I’m not from March but was visiting family so this restaurant was booked early in the week for a Saturday night for 8 people. The restaurant was pretty busy but we landed at half eight. There were a few other large parties who had also clearly booked (birthday and work leaving party). The restaurant just did not have enough staff. I won’t go into the details but suffice to say that by quarter to eleven at night we had only managed two drinks and two courses of the banquet. The service was appalling. The place had a take away attached and that clearly takes priority. The staff were running backwards and forwards to that ignoring dining customers. We did get a discount at the end but I would much rather have had a decent meal. The food we did get was average. I suspect pre prepared cash and carry stuff. No better than Iceland produce. The service would probably be better in the week as I guess it wouldn’t be so busy. I’ve visited here 3 times now. Once it was ok. But that’s just not good enough. Drinks are ridiculously overpriced for this quality of restaurant. £3.80 for a can of Guinness or Fosters. £15 for a cheap Pinot Grigio. The wine we wanted at £17 they didn’t have in stock. The place is a little scruffy and has no atmosphere. I don’t know if there are any other Chinese restaurants in town but if so go there. Otherwise get a takeaway and eat at home ! I will not be returning

My husband and I visited The Purple Diamond Restuarant yesterday evening with two of our dearest friends. When we arrived we were shown to our table by a very polite young lady..We were seated and Prawn Crackers and dips were brought over to us by a different urm person. I am all for live and let live but as I looked up I was fronted by a very heaily tattooed person with facial piercings. Each to their own but goodness me, she did not speak, she shouted. I maybe of the older generation but I am by no means deaf. Maybe, if she just took our order I could have ignored it but the sad fact is she spoke (shouted) far too much about nothing of any interest to my friend or myself nor was it of any relevance with regard our order. Our dining party ventured out for a pleasent, quite evening. Instead we had to endure the constant cackle and sound of her voice for the duration.

Visited this restaurant for the first time for an evening meal with friends. I was very surprised to by the place being so empty at first but it filled up quickly? A good sign I thought? Our meal was about average in my view. Unfortunately the restaurant was let down badly by packing boxes of stock and supplies left on the top of cupboards in full view of the customers. Our table was also close to an opening door to the toilets that blow cold air across us for most of the evening. I like aromatic not hot spicy food and the dishes were pleasant enough. The staff were friendly and helpful but some were too blasé to the point of being cheeky. We were seated in the back of the restaurant in a very Spartan room, not as well decorated as the front-of-house. I will visit this restaurant again just to see if I am being too picky?

First time eating here and the food was absolutely awful was stone cold and the quality was rubbish. The worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. We complained to the waitress who informed the chef who then came from the kitchen shouting ‘free, everything free’ throughout the restaraunt which was very unprofessional. We did not pay for our meal, which we do not like doing and find this unacceptable, however the food was so bad we could not even eat it. We left all of our main dinner as we had been in there 3 hours by the time we got it and it was cold like the rest of the meal. They had also sold out of multiple different beers which is not satisfactory for a Saturday night.

Well this wasn’t a visit as such unless you can count travelling to this place to order take away. Waste of petrol

I came to the restaurant for my birthday last month and it was amazing. We had quite a fussy table with a vegetarian, a peanut allergy and a gluten free person. I was so impressed by how easily my friends dietary requirements were catered for and the food came out fast and it was super nice. They even decorated the table with banners, confetti and a helium balloon which I got to take home. I also got a cake and a bottle of pear cider. Best Chinese I’ve ever had and the staff were so nice and cheerful. ❤️

We came Saturday night and had an amazing meal. The amount of gluten free options is great so much choice. Staff happy and friendly. We will be returning.

We very often order take away from here and it's always spot on. The best thing by far from here are the sauces epes the bbq sauce, it's amazing and have never found another place that tastes as good.

Called at 6.30 and advised to collect in half an hour. So by my watch that's 7.00 not the 7.40 when my meal was handed over. Fail 1. Fail 2 was that my meal was missing. There was no way I was driving 40 minutes there and back to go and get it. Fail 3. The rest of the food was awful. To give you some idea of the quality I've added a photo of the chips. The rest looked ok but wasn't very nice in my opinion although we did eat most of it. I did phone about the missing meal to ask for a refund on my card. As the manager wasn't around to approve they sent a delivery driver with a refund. The rest of the 1 star reviews for this place are spot on and I only wish I'd read them before wasting my time on this poor excuse of a Chinese....

Just had the Sunday buffet, I think between the 3 courses we had all our favourites, ribs, chilli beef, beef in black bean sauce, crispy duck, Thai curry with prawns, chow mein all cooked really well and very tasty. Good value with friendly staff maybe the walls could do with a lick of new paint but overall really good!

Take away with the family and have to say this is the worst food I’ve ever ordered from here. Noodles were tasteless and the special fried rice included two very small pieces of meat, also plain and bland. Will not order from here again. Very...

This is the second time we have visited the Purple Diamond and we again had the buffet menu option. Plenty of starters, lovely duck and then a choice of mains which was more than enough. Service excellent - great night.

Seven friends sat down for a buffet. Pleasant surroundings, and the food was fine. However, the service did leave something to be desired. The staff consisted of young girls, who, while being very pleasant, were quite unprofessional in their dealings with customers. Several times requests...

The food at the Purple Diamond is absolutely excellent. They will alter dishes to the customers taste. Although in saying that, every dish does taste as one would expect unlike many other Chinese Restaurants where many dishes taste the same. My only problem, is when...

I'm not normally one to write a review but we ate here tonight for my wife's birthday and the food was first class, the staff were beyond lovely, and they surprised my wife (and me!) With balloons, cake and bubbly and it made her night!! Sorry for setting off the fire alarm! We had a great choice of food from the menu and it let us pick things we don't usually eat. The satay sauce was so good and I think the waitress could tell as she asked me if I wanted to take a pot home. We will be back!

Went for a Sunday evening meal for three. However waited 20 minutes just for a menu then eventually 2 out of the 3 drinks turned up had to wait another 5 minutes for the third. When somebody decided to take our order several starters were unavailable, which we wasn't when receiving our menus. This was an all you can eat buffet menu with the majority of the dishes unavailable
