Shockingly cr@p take away. I wish I had read the reviews beforehand. There's a review from last year.. (Trippy Owl Sept 2023). I had the sweet & sour chicken balls and can relate to their review regarding the chewy chicken balls, absolutely disgusting to put it nicely! Also, the amount of sauce is so disproportionate to cover the balls. A total rip-off and waste of £40. The bag was as heavy as it arrived from what was thrown. Never again will I entertain this rip-off joint.

i am really disappointed with the quality of food we got served. I love putting money into local chinese takeaways but this place does not deserve it. I make better chinese at home hahah. Do not go to this take away. Lots of love x

Take away only. Average. Plenty of food but egg fried rice was really brown cardboard hard rice, with no visible egg. The szechuan dish was flavoursome but the chicken (as with many places) tasted like pre-cooked reheated chicken, rather than cooked from fresh. I would only go if hungry and it was nearby.

So, I went in for a takeaway, and asked the girl behind the counter what I could have that was dairy free. She replied that they were a dairy free takeaway. I thought that was bit weird but didn't challenge it, as my local Chinese in Southampton does sell the same meal which is actually dairy free! I ordered sweet and sour chicken balls and she even said to her colleague "this one is dairy free". On the way out, I saw a sign on their wall stating that some items may contain milk, (dairy free doesn't fit into this statement) but didn't think anything of it as I should learn to trust people. Biggest mistake I ever made. Within 30 minutes of eating my dinner, I was sick which continued all the way throughout the next morning, ruining an evening and the rest of the next day of my short holiday. Your staff obviously don't understand the implications of telling someone who has a dairy intolerance, that it's safe to eat food containing dairy. I feel more training should be given to all your front of house staff, as two of them had the chance to tell me my dinner was NOT dairy free. As I was staying 5 miles away from the shop and had to rely on someone taking me back, there was no way I was able to return it.

Been before and rated these the best of the worse! Gone downhill and made their slop too expensive, and to be quite honest, a massive p!$$ take!! The meat was SPAM!! Food was garbage, no taste, too much grease and price hiked way too much compared to last time. I'm happy to say that I won't be using these jokers again, nor recommending them. Newquay has it real bad when it comes to Chinese food, they're all horrendous, glad I'm from the midlands where choice and status is key. A tiny tub of sweet & sour sauce to pour over my chewy chicken balls dripping in fat! The comparison image (image 2) is from my local in Derby #newchinatown which I had last night.

Simple, excellent. Most Chinese’s have a similar menu, and this is the same. However the dishes were excellent. The indicator for me is the meat/sauce ratio (as meat is comparatively expensive) - and in this the dishes were excellent. Ordered, collected in 15 min, nice and hot.

Ordered a takeaway for collection - it was ready promptly and on time. Food was great - having checked the website we ordered Chicken Chow Mein (Dry) as their website states they do two different styles. We also had sweet and sour chicken Cantonese style, egg fried rice, salt and pepper chicken - All was delicious and tasty. Thoroughly recommend if staying in the area and want a decent takeaway.

I ordered Duck with Plumb Sauce. I got Pineapple Segments in Plumb Sauce with a few (4) pieces of duck tossed on top. Less than a quarter of the amount of duck I’ve ever got before in this dish at takeaways. I’m now hungry, and getting sick of pineapple! I reckoned I was recognised as a visitor, as opposed to a local who might frequent.

Fancied a takeaway while away on holiday. We were going to get one from the other Chinese a couple of doors away but it was closed. Decided to try the orient, expensive mistake. I had King prawn chow mein and literally all I could eat was the prawns, the rest had been cooked in so much sugar, it was inedible. Since when is chow mein supposed to be sweet? Chucked it all in the bin and had a chip sandwich instead.

My partner and I were excited to have a Chinese after a long day exploring, the reviews made us decide this was a good choice however we couldn’t have been more wrong. Couldn’t get through to place an order for delivery so had to postpone our evening relaxation to go in to order, when we got back we were absolutely gutted at the lack of flavour, worst Chinese I’ve ever had. They chucked all sorts that wasn’t listed into the chicken with cashew nuts such as baby sweet corn and mushrooms, but it did nothing for the watery, bland taste of the chicken and the rice we bought to accompany it. Would encourage anyone to avoid.

Food was average compared to other Chinese takeaways. The chicken in the chicken chow Mein looked like it had been boiled, not much colour or taste to it. The sweet and sour sauce which came with the chicken balls was small compared to many other takeaways. The chicken balls itself was nice and the pork was good too.

Meat was poor quality and fairly on the uncooked side. Home delivery forgot some of our order which was refunded as they my couldn’t justify driving back then returning with the full order (not much emphasis on customer service it seems). Only one bag of prawn crackers for a £63 order. Generally underwhelming and we wouldn’t eat here again. Regards.

Worst Chinese take away I’ve ever had. Duck and pineapple, watery, big chunks of carrots, duck was tasteless and mostly fat. Disgusting. Egg fried rice was a weird colour, not white, light and fluffy with bits of egg in. Absolutely awful. Very disappointing.

Although you read various reviews before choosing where to order your meal you're always wondering if you'd chosen well. We had our usual choices when we're away - a mixed curry and a chop suey. Both had plenty of meat, although I was a little surprised to see what looked like strips of spam in the curry - a first for me! The curry was good though, tasty but not too gluey as some often are. So 0 a good meal that we enjoyed.

Last night in Newquay and thanks to all the idiots in the town ignoring government guidelines and social distancing, we opted for a takeaway.After looking at various reviews, The Orient seemed to be a good choice.We walked to the takeaway and placed the order over the counter and waited outside.Food arrived with 15 to 20 minutes, which wasn't a problem as we could they were very busy.Now a quick walk back to the hotel to enjoy our meals.We had both ordered chicken chow mein with BBQ spare ribs as a greedy indulgence.The chow mein was okay and lots of chicken in it for sure, but it was more like a big Pot Noodle with vegetables and was nothing like a chow mein we have had before from other takeways. Don't get me wrong it was okay, just different ingredients and no bean sprouts just noodles?Same with the spare ribs, they were okay but they were bathing in a very fatty gravy. But perhaps that was out fault for not asking for a dry version? We just assumed that BBQ ones would come dry and not soaking in a tub of gravy?In summary, the meal was okay but nothing special and if we return again we wouldn't have the same meals.

It was so bland! I wasn’t too sure of the food after I heard a microwave ping in the kitchen as well, makes me wonder what they’re re-heating? Partner said his food was ‘okay’ nothing special.

First of all I’d like to say that the customer service here is amazing. We pre-booked via the Facebook messenger Option on their page, quick responses, very polite and helpful. The food arrived exactly on time and the driver received a tip. We were also pleasantly surprised to some free prawn crackers. Thank you for this. If this review were to be based solely on the above I would give a 5*. However, the crispy duck was fair to say, quite overdone. Most of the skin was slightly burnt and the actual meat was very dry and tough, and the rice was slightly hard. My partner had the chow mein and Did say the chicken was a bit rubbery and bland, to which I agreed. It’s an awful shame as we have heard so many lovely things! We will however, at some point, try again maybe with Different dishes and give it another go, as the customer service was so good.

Our baby has a very sensitive intolerance to soy and dairy. As my wife is breast feeding if she eats any soy or dairy we end up with a very upset baby and invariably nobody in the house gets any sleep for a night or two. The team were very conscientious, checked all ingredients and called us back to let us know there was soy in some of the ingredients. We are grateful for this.If you or a family has an allergy or intolerance the orient appear to be both diligent and accommodating. And, the food Is lovely too.

We visited Newquay for a few days break at the start of the lifting of lock down. Ordered from the Orient as they had the best feedback. Prices of the food was reasonable, food was delivered quite quickly (20 minutes) and arrived hot. I had special curry and instead of char Sui pork It had thin strips of spam like meat! Chicken and beef were fine but for a sea town no large prawns, just 3 mini ones! My mum had sweet and sour chicken balls and brother a chicken curry, all nice with chips, rice, but curry sauce a bit bland. Pleasant meal and I would try it again.

Ordered food tonight, and as usual nearly everything was excellent - but a couple of issues - really tight on the prawn crackers ( rather get them in advance from Lidl/Aldi save about £3) and had the most YN salt and Chilli ribs ever - apart from some below average ribs - some one forgot the chilli and the salt. Everything else was brilliant m, including ordering, payment and delivery. Torn between praise and annoyed ☹️

Every Thursday during lockdown we have a "pub night in" which involves a takeaway, an online quiz night and some alcohol. The Orient gets our order every 2nd week (well we can't eat Chinese all the time!!) I have ordered something different every time and have never been disappointed. Tonight was the chicken with fresh tomatoes and garlic and it was delicious. I really can't fault anything about this establishment - excellent service, excellent food and brilliant, helpful staff.

Don't know if it was lack of a chef or the lack of food but the food ordered was terrible. We ordered 7 meals of which 3 were just about acceptable. The curries had a watery consistency with very little content apart from an overload of onions. The rice and chips were both overcooked. The veg chowmein was more like a onion chowmein with the odd veg and the mushroom curry was Vile! Very very disappointed as the last time we ordered the food was outstanding.

Had a takeaway from here a couple of times now as a big group due to suggestion (never have chosen it if just me and my partner) have tried 3 vegetarian dishes and each and every one has been bland. You couldn’t really differentiate a difference between any of them. Just an orange sticky sauce and the satay wasn’t peanutty or have a kick at all. The vegetable spring rolls were just mush inside.... and having asked for “salt & peppered or chilli salt” chips which we get from another local Chinese.... we got given a normal bag of chips with a sprinkling of normal ground salt and pepper in the bag. Can’t speak for the meat..... but everything I had including the rice and noodles also was bland.

Chose on recommendation of owner of apartment we are staying in. Worst Chinese we've ever had. It gets two stars for the ok soup, excellent ribs and chicken balls. BUT oh dear, the rest. The mains of duck chow mein, char siu with ginger and spring onion and house special fried rice were incredible in their inedibleness. Huge chunks of ginger, flabby, tasteless pork (not char siu), overcooked rice with loads of SPAM or the like in it and awful boiled tasting bland duck attached to gloopy skin. Most of meal was dispatched into the bin. Oh, and delivery woman was quite rude and I would like my tip back please!

The food was average from here. The pancake roll was massive and lacked flavour. Small serving of prawn toast compared to other takeaways I have had it from. The food wasn't bad it just wasn't as amazing as I have had elsewhere.

Before the orient had moved I had never been to there restaurant. What a mistake. The food from the takeaway is amazing. They are my always go to takeaway from Newquay and if anyone asks where to eat that's my first choice. There service is very good and always nice and friendly staff working there. Never once had a bad meal from here.

Had a takeaway whilst on holiday Satay Chicken & Cantonese Style King Prawns. The Satay Chicken tasted like no other I have ever had it was bland and boring. The Prawns were tasteless. We normally go to a Chinese around the corner - wish we had done this time. Will not be revisiting.

I thought we'd give this Takeaway a try. I so regret that decision after walking home I found half our meal was missing when I dished up. I couldn't get through on the phone so I had to walk back down..after a long day at work..I really didn't need it. The phone was off the hook. ..The attitude of the manager was appalling. .apparently I should have scraped the food back in to the bag so they could have cooked me a new meal he offered me the taxi fare home and couldn't care less about my opinion when offered..considering their 1star hygeine rating they really don't deserve any custom. .the food was very dry and tasteless .we won't go again..

Well...We wanted a Chinese and didn't know where to try..rang the Orient, they were happy to deliver to our rented holiday house out of town. The food came as they said and was piping hot. Food for 4 adults..great meal and all eaten. My only thing would be...up north we get 6 or 8 pieces of prawn toast not just 4... that aside. Spot on.

Went for a full meal. The staff were very attentive and the food was good. Love oriental food and we were not disappointed.

Was this food microwaved from a discount store range? In Fact, that doesn't even do justice to the revolting, inedible pulp served at this establishment. Avoid at any cost, I'd choose a McDonald's burger over this shambolic display of Chinese cuisine.

My child was having a coughing fit and was almost choking, I asked for a glass of water from the girl behind the counter and was refused. I was told they don't have any!! And was offered a bottle of water for £1.50 for a sip of water to aid a child in distress, an utter disgrace, any drinking vessel would have aided my 4year old child, to have to pay when he was obvious distress is an utter joke especially when the bottle served would have cost the restaurant less than 25p. What do the staff drink out of on shift? Or do they also have to pay for water. Avoid this place at all costs.

From the website there was no information about closure of the restaurants for refurnishment. Even when we put our takeaway order via phone from the number we found on the website, we were not told that we had to collect our food from a small takeaway shop of the same name near Newquay Police Station. We only discovered this after being informed by the builder working in the restaurant which was closed!The food was OK. It was a bit too sugary. The Thai green chilli beef is not as nice as other Thai restaurant's. However, the food portion was generous, enough for two separate meals.In conclusion, the food quality is acceptable and of good value. It is probably not the best Chinese restaurant or takeaway in town.

We bought take away twice when we were in Newquay, as it was not so good weather. Everything we order was fantastic! Highly recommended!

Nice Chinese takeaway. Good size portions tasted nice and didn't have to wait long for the food. While we was waiting the phone did not stop ringing and people kept coming in which is always a good sign when it's your first visit to a place

So i do not venture out when it comes to food ! Couldnt be bothered to go miles so went to my local !! Lets start Had chicken satay skewers , unfortunately not to my taste as they were fried and not in sauce ! Battered mini spring rolls (banging with bbq sauce ) Chicken in black bean - full of flavour chicken was perfect , nothing worse than hard chicken !! Was so tender and juicy , sauce great consistency plenty of it ! Chicken in satay same as above ! Chips nicely salted Bbq sauce nice and thick lots of flavour ! I would of gave it 5 but unfortunately the skewers werent for me ! Good quality food for a good price !! Young lady server was very friendly too !! I imagine it would be pleasant eating in
