The Orient Restaurant in Cheshire East

Tremendous meal here tonight the staff couldn’t have been more helpful or attentive The food was great especially the aromatic duck which I adored they even gave us more pancakes to make some more We even bought the leftovers home to eat next day highly recommend this great restaurant highly truly excellent value and most enjoyable will definitely return again

Very good food, reasonable prices, smashing service. No problem recommending.

Amazing food and fantastic service

Excellent value for money. Great food, great service by friendly staff and lovely atmosphere . Good time had by all

The best food in Sandbach. Just had an excellent meal with fantastic service and incredible value for the quality of food you get. A must visit for anyone in Sandbach

We had a fantastic family meal at the Orient. The staff made a real fuss of my BIL as it was his birthday & they brought out a lovely dessert, with a candle & the restaurant sang happy birthday. All of the food was delicious, the service was great & it was lovely to see the restaurant so busy.

Probably the best Chinese ribs I've had. Properly tender and full of flavour. We had the Hong Kong Banquet. Unbelievably good value for money. All the food was excellent, massive portions. Service was adequate, friendly staff. We did wait a fair while to order drinks but after that ran smoothly. Will absolutely be returning and would highly recommend to anyone.

Great food, friendly staff, nice surroundings.

Just love this restaurant the staff are doing a wonderful job nothing too much trouble. Food was excellent from the soup to the starters to the main fabulous dishes enjoyed by both of us. See you soon.

We used to go to this restaurant all the time for meals and takeaways . Tonight we had a takeaway for the first time in a while it wasn’t very nice at all. In fact it was absolutely awful . The crispy prawn rolls were greasy , the ribs were tasteless and the fillet steak dish didn’t have their usual quality of meat in it . It was tough and stringy. We can only assume that the chef must have changed as the quality of the food was awful .

Great atmosphere and good food, great place for a family or friends meal. Recommended.

Our first visit since it re-opened but we've been another 3-4 times in the past and the experience has always been the same, just fantastic. From the outside it doesnt look that spectacular, on the inside it maybe looks a bit basic and minimalistic but dont let that put you off, the food is outstanding. The staff very friendly and attentive, could not do enough for us. We had the set banquet which worked out at £24 each. The starters were amazing, nicest prawn toast and ribs ive ever had. Then you get another course of crispy duck complete with plenty of pancakes. We asked if we could change one of the set menu options for our main and they said no problem so we ended up with sweet and sour chicken and crispy beef accompanied by a huge bowl of yung chow fried rice. Not only was all the food amazing but the portion sizes were massive, just couldnt eat it all and id had nothing to eat during the day. We asked if we could take home the leftovers and again it wasnt a problem. Looked round and a couple of the other tables had done the same. Honestly i couldnt recommend this place any more

An excellent evening - Hong Kong banquet for 7 - very good quality throughout- more than enough to fill even the hearty of appetites! Staff were so helpful- would recommend

Great Chinese and Thai cuisine. Excellent as ever. Great service.

Really good food, sadly not many people in for a Friday night. I would have given 5 stars but for one thing. Service was great from the beginning, but when bringing the bill the waiter and his mate decided to eat our complimentary chocolates which were on the plate when he came up the stairs but not when it arrived at the table. So points lost there along with their cash tip!

We've been here twice and been very happy both times. Nice range of dishes and good quality, fresh food. Very friendly service and good atmosphere. Can't fault it.

Went for a meal out, food was very tasty.

There was about 10 or so of us celebrating a friend's birthday, only a few of us had starters and main courses I think everyone had something different apart from two in the group! I had Thai style green lip mussels to start, nicely cooked and packed with flavour, main course was the Lamb and Leek with egg fried rice again excellent, really enjoyed what I ate! Everyone did how good their meals were and they would definitely return. The staff couldn't have been more helpful if they'd tried.

this is by far the best Chinese food in sandbach and i will be visiting again and again. Its always busy and bare that in mind when planning what time you want to eat as it could be over an hours wait for take out ..

Just had the most amazing Kongkong banquet ( Sat 27th Jan 2024 ) " For my brothers birthday" thankyou to everyone at the Orient so a fantastic special meal. All the food was fab as was the service and friendly, helpful staff. Thankyou for a grest evening 😀

Great menu, ample seating and quick service. They also have an extensive gluten free menu of required

Great atmosphere. Great food and really nice staff. Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants around

Food was amazing, we ate too much but that was our own fault. Would recommend a dine-in for some authentic Chinese food.

Unfortunately the table cloth was dirty so clearly not cleaned from sitting before, it was cold upstairs, staff didn’t follow order of what to remove from dish. A little disappointing unfortunately. Maybe just too busy today.

I visited recently with my family. It was a very nice occasion. We ordered a platter to share for a starter, which was delicious. I'm a vegetarian, and there was a lovely selection on the platter, and a good choice of vegetarian main meals. The food came quickly, and was good!

Good food but not so good staff.

We had a wonderful dinner here last night. Really good food, the best Chinese we’ve had for a very long time.

Visited the Orient on the 11th November, with my family. Had lovely food ,drinks and the staff are warm, welcoming friendly which made are night! Well done to u all. Orient restaurant is one of favourite restaurants, we will all be back soon.

The Orient is our number one choice in Sandbach. Had a meal on Friday, the food was absolutely delicious, piping hot, fresh, tasty, a meal that even though you were full you had to keep eating! Added to that the staff are wonderful. Looking forward to our next visit already

Fantastic meal 🥰 very fresh and tasty

Excellent , great food and very reasonably priced. Look forward to going again.

Good food, possibly a little more expensive than your average Chinese/Tai restaurant but good value. Speedy service, despite a very busy take-away trade. A huge choice of dishes on the menu and we enjoyed it all. Thank you.

Would rate higher if possible. Apart from the food being amazing, the cleanliness and decor being top class the staff went above and beyond. Our party had one wheelchair user and they were at the door opening it for us almost before we got there and this help continued until we left. Thank you to all the staff it was very much appreciated.

Great food, quick service and decent price. Had king prawn pad Thai, egg fried rice, shredded beef, noodles and the standard sauces and was all great. Didn't get a photo of it. We had the hot and spicy starter and that was great. That is the photo attached.

A fabulous meal this evening at The Orient! The staff were welcoming, friendly and provided excellent service. The Pad Thai was simply divine. Many thanks for a great meal!

1st time at this place, outstanding service, wonderful food, great atmosphere, I will be returning, Dominic is a great host, highly recommend

Having never visited the Orient before i found the greeting, the service and the food second to none.We will definitely be going again.

Anniversary meal, the food was really good, fresh and tasty. The menu is very extensive. The service is excellent, nothing too much trouble.

We visited this restaurant for the first time last night as we love Chinese food and most of the restaurants we liked to visit have closed. We were not disappointed, we had a Hong Kong banquet, all of the food was fresh and tasted delicious. We were given a sufficient breaks between each course so didn’t feel like were rushed. The restaurant was very busy and the staff never stopped all evening but they were still very friendly and helpful. We couldn’t eat all the food and it was no problem getting it boxed up to takeout for tomorrow. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and I will definitely return again, I may even live dangerously and try some of the other cuisines!

Like the title so glad the restaurant is back open. We had a lovely welcome and a wonderful delious meal couldn't fault a thing. Cant wait to return. Best restaurant in Sandbach.

This has reopened recently which we are thrilled about. Good food and service. Take aways are also available. Lovely clean white cloths on tables makes it feel special.

Me and my partner have been ordering takeaway from The Orient for years, we were eagerly awaiting its reopening and it was so worth the wait! Consistent quality and such a friendly service, highly recommended.

Really good food, polite staff and good service despite being very busy. Mixed starters were pricey.

Brilliant food and fantastic service! Would highly recommend.

Amazing takeaway this evening. We’ve really missed them while they’ve been shut. Best Chinese in Sandbach hands down!

Never had a bad meal here. Staff are always great, funny, helpful, just a great experience.

Had a takeaway and everything was fantastic. Did have a meal many years ago which was high quality - I actually think this was nicer. Definitely can recommend.

What a great restaurant and what lovely staff! We booked a table for our first visit to The Orient, and we’re glad we did. For a Thursday evening the place was busy! A group of ladies, plus other pre books, walk ins and takeaways kept the two waiting staff busy. They kept their cool and smiles! We started with crispy duck which was very good. My husband ordered a seafood main and I had crispy chilli beef plus noodles and bean sprouts. All were delicious and the portions were large. A couple of ladies next to us ordered a banquet - by the time the mains were due, they were struggling!! You definitely need a big appetite to finish a banquet!! Would highly recommend.

Ordered take out food at 5pm did not arrived until 6.30 Had to call twice to see where the food was. When it arrived it was cold and the chips where cold and did not taste nice at all will not order from there again not hapy at all

This has been a favourite of ours for many years. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The food never disappoints. Looking forward to our next visit 😊

Very tasty food and good portions! would return.

The family had booked a meal for my wife's birthday as its normally one of our favourite restaurants, however on this occasion the service wasn't great, though I understand there were 10 in our group. A couple of the group were also dissapointed with their food. When we asked whether we could get some more drinks the staff were rather rude. Never had an issue before, but unfortunately we will try other establishments in the future. Such a shame...

The restaurant was very clean and well presented. The waiting staff were really pleasant and friendly attending to everyone’s needs. We had a party of 12 for a birthday meal and everybody selected different items from the menu and all enjoyed each dish. The food was really fresh, tasty serve nice and hot. All in all it was a lovely place and good food on our visit.

Generally the food was very good (although some of the chicken was a bit chewy), unfortunately the service was very disappointing. When we arrived we were greeted with a waiter who didn’t even ask if we’d booked and if we had what name. We were just directed to a table. When we asked about a certain dish being available we were told it was but the price on the menu was wrong - it was another £6 which made the dish very expensive so didn’t bother with it. We also wanted to order Prosecco, and even though it was on the drinks menu we were told they didn’t do Prosecco any more. We ordered our food which included prawn crackers, which never arrived. When we had our main courses I had to go to the serving area to ask for our rice. We were not made to feel welcome, the serving staff were more interested in talking to other parties who were obviously their friends & we felt that we were just an inconvenience. Asked for the bill, but again it didn’t arrive so I had to go to the serving area to ask to pay & when I did I was told that the staff were too busy talking, which they thought was really funny 🤷‍♀️. We were charged for the prawn crackers which we never got, but this was removed from the bill without question, but no apology. I wouldn’t go as far to say the evening was ruined, but it was a birthday meal (although we purposely didn’t tell the restaurant this) and it was not what we expected. Will definitely not be going back, but in future will get a takeaway from Swan Lake in Winterley who always provide great food & the staff are always very friendly & appreciate our custom.

Visited on a Sunday evening without a booking. Parked at a nearby free of charge car park. Warm welcome from staff. Had previous used as a take away but first time we had used for on site dining. Excellent service. Good menu selection and tasty food. Served in a timely manner. Good selection of vegetarian food for those who require. Good selection of alcoholic and non alcohol drinks. Will be using again.

Always great food, been going for years. Service disappointing this time, asked 3 times for drinks and left for ages without getting them and wasn't even busy

Excellent food, and very good service,

Excellent food and drink, service good but a little intense.

Lovely food and the staff were brilliant

The food is wonderful, well prepared and served and the restaurant clean bright and welcoming

Amazing. Food absolutely delicious and a lucky find. I would say best Chinese I have had.

One of the best ever meals I had on the go. Worth every penny! The fact that they have a whole section just for vegetarians adds a sixth star.

Always have the Cantonese king prawn curry - first class.

We arrived at 6.30 pm on 8th September. Only one other couple were in finishing their meal. The restaurant was very busy with take away orders, which seemed to take priority. We ordered the Thai banquet costing £25 per head. The service to us was...

Excellent food and a good menu. It was a noisy Thursday evening with most tables occupied, there were no soft furnishings to absorb sound, though a clean and comfortable restaurant. Would go back on a quieter night and/or get takeaway.

Best Chinese food I've ever had in England. And I'm 53 years old. 👍👍👍👍👍

Pre covid this place was amazing but disappointed on last night's meal. Busy and service slow, people who came in after us getting served before us and we were left for a while. Some items which were on the menu were not being sold anymore as waitress said they were now to expensive for them to buy. Starter really nice but mains seemed poor quality and nowhere near as good as the food has been in the past. Not sure if covid shut down has had an affect but mains tasted like cheaper quality food items and didn't feel it was up to their usual high standards. Waitress did nothing but apologise and said restaurant was trying it's best, this was even though we never complained about anything so obviously the staff are also aware things aren't quite as good as they were. Maybe just a one off night but disappointed none the less as waited a long time to return here. Unfortunately, wouldn't be in a rush to return.

Love it here. Very hard to beat on quality of food. Lovely staff and attentive. A firm favourite for catch ups with friends.

Best Chinese in the Sandbach and surrounding areas

First time visit to the restaurant, omg the food the service was absolutely incredible Food was served freshly cooked and full of flavour. Spotlessly clean and covid protocol followed felt totally at ease Will be visiting again very soon Thanks for such a lovely evening

This is the best Chinese restaurant in sandbach. It’s southern Chinese style, and pretty good. Great value.

Probably the best Chinese take away I’ve had. My wife is Chinese and I travel around China regularly, so I rarely find a Chinese restaurant or take away in the U.K. that tastes right; most are like calling McDonald’s a roast dinner. The orient is...

We have been in Sandbach for a year and when it's a a Chinese takeaway, we only go to the Orient. The food is beautiful. Our 8 year old loves it, as do we. Personally, the Mongolian Lamb is my favourite along with their amazing...

Best Chinese food in Cheshire! We had a starter , king prawns with udon noodles and beef chilli stir fry - all yummy as always .

Lovely food, friendly staff and great menu options. I definitely recommend the banquet. Always nice to find new local businesses to support. We’ll be back.

Just had my first takeaway from here and all I can say is Wow. The food was amazing and its was piping hot. And you could tell it had just been freshing cooked. I cant wait for my next takeaway from here

Best Chinese in Sandbach by a long shot. Great food, friendly staff and all decent prices. Defo worth a visit!

The restaurant is now open for takeaways Thursday to Sunday (due to coronavirus) and I would still highly recommend having one. We have been regular customers for a while attending the restaurant and having takeaways. The food is always excellent and staff are friendly and...

All the dishes we had we were.happy. We all had a bit of each which I feel is the best way to try all of the dishes. We had cocanut prawn balls, pork beans buns, beef dim sum, veg spring rolls, prawns & scallops in...

Fantastic food, great service and reasonable price. Would definitely recommend a visit and I can’t wait to go back.

Whenever our family visit from the South there is no other restaurant for them but The Orient. The meals have always been excellent. Beautiful restaurant, spotlessly clean, staff very attentive, no rush. We must have been customers now for well over 12 years and have...

Myself and wife ate at the Orient whilst visiting the area. We both enjoyed good meals, served by happy and pleasant staff, in a clean and pleasant restaurant. We would definitely visit again, should the opportunity arise.

We visit here regularly and we are never disappointed. Service is friendly and efficient. Food is excellent, always piping hot and extremely tasty. Highly recommended.

We visited here mid week, food was excellent, plenty of choice and very tasty. We were not rushed and the food was brought out to us with enough breathing space between courses.Restaurant was clean and staff very friendly. Very popular with people collecting take aways....

Contemporary setting, superb service and outstanding Chinese and Thai food. Best Dim Sum ever. Singapore vermicelli noodles were out of this world.

We ate here with another couple last weekend. It was a busy Saturday night yet the staff were attentive and humorous. I eat gluten-free and had plenty of choice with clear guidance on suitable dishes (and apologies when one I particularly wanted couldn't be made GF). We all ate well, more than enough, in comfortable surroundings. A mix of larger groups and couples show that this restaurant can accommodate as many people as you want to bring with you! The friends we ate with are regulars - it was their Dad who fell over and was cared for wonderfully by the staff - and we, like them, will be back. Highly recommend giving this place a try if you haven't already!

Food is top notch, as good as food we had in Thailand - and just as reasonably priced! Service is wonderful too; elderly gent fell over and staff were so kind and helpful, sat him down and got him a drink then walked him back to his car. Really go the extra mile! Will definitely be coming back, best restaurant I've been to for a while!

Eaten here, when visiting with family, on several occasions.. the atmosphere, the food, the staff are all great, also very clean..

Chinese & Thai Food. A regular favourite of ours, the food & service are always excellent. Highly recommended!

I took my Dad here for his birthday and I have to say that the food served here was outstanding, easily the best chinese food I have had. We ordered four dishes with rice and were thinking we wouldn't finish and we might have to take some home but no we finished it all it was lovely I'm just sorry that I've not visited before having lived in the area for a while now. All I would say is don't be put off by the slighly higher than average prices as it really is worth it and the portion sizes are generous. I'm a firm believer that you should get what you pay for and the Orient really didn't dissapoint. I would highly recommend a visit.

Just recently visited with a group of friends and can’t praise this place enough! Fantastic food and great service, will definitely recommend and come again!

Excellent good tasting food friendly staff would recommend would definitely visit again for something special

Been this afternoon. Staff lovely and most of all the food was excellent. Would highly recommend. Starter selection very good followed by crispy duck. Mains too much so fetched home for tomorrow. Will visit again soon.

Regular customer for takeaway the best Thai/Chinese food anywhere. Have also eaten in the restaurant, service good and price fair for the quality of food. Would recommend.

Best Chinese and Thai takeaway in the area. Reasonable inside but now has strong competition with another local restaurant. Can recommend for takeaway!!! If they opened this in Alsager, they would double their profits!

I was fortunate to choose my takeaway from my regular restaurant tonight.Cantonese ribs and shredded chilli beef with egg fried rice.The meal was outstanding and so were the girls who served me.So polite,smiley and friendly.Love this place.

New Year's Eve is usually not a good time to dine , because you are rushed and the food is not always as good as a normal night , but not here at The Orient it was superb , 4 of us had a banquet meal , and every dish just kept on coming at the right time . Also very reasonable priced drinks , not ripped off like some places do at this time of year. Roll on 2019 to go dinning at the 'Orient ' .

We visited while in Sandbach to visit relatives. The service is friendly and attentive, the food was excellent and the environment is comfortable. I would recommend people to give it a try.

Had a bit of a wait for our pre-ordered takeaway but the staff were very friendly and offered us toffees! The food was superb and there was loads of vegan/vege options. The salt and pepper tofu and braised tofu were delicious and the meat eaters in our party were surprised the vege chicken in black bean sauce wasn’t actually chicken. Can’t wait to visit again, possibly eating in as it was very nice inside.

14 of us went to celebrate my birthday every one really enjoyed the food with .plenty of choice, good quality and perfectly cooked. Staff attentive and very friendly. I would highly recommend the sea bass fillet superb ! This is one of the best meals I have had in a long time the food is good quality and the sauces don't swamp the food but compliment it. Will be returning soon.
