The Oriental in St. Helens

Salt and pepper chips are stunning

Sadly not as good as it used to be. Bit too much soya sauce and sesame oil for my taste. Ended up on the toilet all night afterwards

Gorgeous food friendly staff it's the only one for me. Excellent

Horrible place phoned for take away my son went to pick up on his electric bike the woman watched him go in with it then told her m take bk out when he brought the food home it was horrible hardly any chicken in the salt an pepper chicken but apparently according to them salt an pepper chicken is mostly batter an crispy lol the prawn toast taste like oil an was dripping with it vermicelli was ok but didn’t have any tast really just like noodles out a pack chips was nice fried rice was boiled rice and when phoned them they said if any of the food has been opened they won’t refund lmao so how are you soppose to try the food if you can’t open it if you want a refund told them I would take it back an they said in opens it now so can’t haha an they won’t refund me so in bin won’t be going to here again would advise others to not either

Wow from the lady on the phone. Down to the delivery gentleman...unbelievably nice.....now the food piping hot when it arrived......and both the 2 meals and 2 starters where of the highest quality.....not got a bad word to say about this takeaway......definitely will be ordering

Been using this takeaway for years but have to say last few times it’s been awful. Cheap meat and all tastes the same. Spent nearly £50 last night for it to go in the bin. Will not be using again

The absolute best Chinese chippy. Brilliant food, brilliant service

Fantastic food all piping hot 🔥 friendly service thank you will definitely be back 😀

Been getting Chinese take out from here for years and never had a bad meal.

Dropped 1 star, not sure if it's just Saturdays as busy, but a definite noticeable drop off in food quality compared to during the week. No rice or chips with your meal now and same price. Other Chinese takeaways haven't taken this approach.

I'll not visit again. It's very average food, We ordered 2 mains, chicken and beef, a bag of prawn crackers, and paid an extra £5.00 for two portions of plain boiled rice. Just over £22.00. I wish we'd just made a sandwich when we got home. I'll drive for an extra hour to go to Newton-Le-Willows before calling again.

really great food and always a quick delivery.

Great staff and food was excellent.

Quality food, expensive but well worth it

Favourite Chinese, never disappointed

Very nice food. Good duck in sauce and good ribs.👍

I am absolutely livid. I've just spent over £30 on food that was inedible. Prawn toast overcooked, soggy, chewy, and tasteless.....sweet & sour sauce your usual out of a tub and should really be called sour & sour sauce....... I'm pretty sure the chicken balls were recooked - they were hard and dry, and when I say hard, I mean nearly break your teeth hard.

The most amazing king prawns in plum and garlic sauce. Compliments to the chef.

Can be very hit and miss, one order its amazing the next its poor and the last order really put me off, ordered prawn toast as appetizer and the smell was foul prawns were 100% off. The chips aren't great at the best of times as they're frozen but last order they were hard and seriously undercooked, I don't think I'll be going back, the prawn toast really made me feel sick the smell was horrendous, gutted as when the foods good it's really good 😔

Amazing food at great prices, very much recommended!

We have used the oriental for years. Always spot on and friendly. Prices have gone up recently but still best Chinese takeaway in the area.

The best Char Su Fried Rice I have tated in a long while.

Always have the same meal so I know I'm going to enjoy it every time

We have been using this chinese happily for ages ..just rang up and our usual order has go up about 4 quid ..apparently you get charged now for fried rice and not just 80p extra..just chips come with it ...who wants a chinese meal with just chips ..🙄

Rip off!!! Menu online says you get rice or chips with main meals.. You. Dont.. So extra 3 quid... So main. Meals are a tenner basically.. I'll stick to the tasty corner down the road whose.foods spot and prices are reasonable

Nicest Chinese takeaway that I know off in the St Helens area. Especially the salt and pepper ribs.

The best Chinese in St. Helens.

Lovely food, highly recommend salt and pepper chips & BBQ ribs.

I order from here all the time and it’s absolutely beautiful every time. I wouldn’t order from anywhere else now

First time on ordering and definitely the last chips been reheated at least 3 times and all food arrived cold and only live a 2 minite walk away salt an pepper chicken was just reheated chicken no flavour went in bin exept prawn crackers they was nice

Good Chinese restaurants, nice food, they do deliver for a small cost. If you have to go to the shop, you may have problems in parking but, it's worth the trouble. The price is also right. Recommend.

Good food. Clean take away. My fave being the Singapore vermicelli !! Spot on. Or chicken curry half chips half rice. Can’t go wrong.

I’ve only been here a few times but I’ve always enjoyed my food.

Absolutely delightful Never used before - just went on recommendation Will use again Fabulous

Just orderd a chicken curry from here was definitely last nights food heated up. Mingin.

Great Chinese .. best in St Helens

We had a take away for 5 people. I would recommend the chicken curry as well as the chicken in black bean. Fast delivery and great food especially for the price. The amount was more than enough for 5.

Great food and excellent service

Last night we had a meal for three.. Probably the worst meal I have ever had. Lemon and Honey Chicken which the sauce just looked like cornflour and water, it was awful. And the other two meals were no better. We will not be going back.

Regular customers and never had a bad meal. I am very particular with my chinese orders and have never been disaoppointed. Cannot comment on delivery as we always collect. Order always correct, staff always friendly, quick service.

Having used nearly all the Chinese Take outs in St Helens, I always judge against The Oriental. For me, my choice is them. I know other friends in the area differ. Delivery service is normally spot on. Maybe the end of the month (pay day) puts them under a little pressure. Price is competitive. Will keep using them. Well done to the staff.

The absolute best Chinese takeaway in the country. Bold statement but it's true!!

Top notch Chinese food, Bobby the delivery driver is very friendly, the food was served very quickly and it is always open at night

Great food and fast service I would recommend it

11 years been using the Oriental. We've moves 2 addresses and still keep ordering from them. Absolutely love the food as in no disappointment through the years, good service from them. Highly recommended!

Aspects of it good, some not so good ! sauces very strong-concentrated, high salt. Rice cooked well but bland , add some spring onions.

This was the first time i used this chippy and will be my last. The worst meal ive had or should i say didnt have, as i didnt eat it. The chicken Balls were undercooked as well as mushy inside. Chips awful like warm-ups then thrown into fat again like triple fried. Hard and oily. Rice mushy not firm. Costly meal. Waste of money. The only thing i would say delivery was quick, but now we know why that was. £22.60 to still be hungry. 😠.

Food was wrong everytime I've ordered. Both over phone and when I ordered inside. Avoid at all costs, food is terribly dry and flavourless.

Food was missing from my sons order. She argued i hadn't asked for chips immediately. I tried to explain i didn't mind paying extra even though i know i ordered chips with his meal but she was too quick to rush me off the phone. I was prepared to walk back to the takeaway to buy more chips until she became so argumentative i told her do not worry about the chips. You have lost a local regular customer. Shocking service and i know do many people around the area feel the same. Zero*

My experience here was laughable. I ordered salt and pepper chips and banana fritters, when given my chips I asked where my fritters where, she replied “that man that just been in has got them, go and chase after him” .... as if, I left the shop with just my chips and still had to pay for the bloke in fronts banana fritters. Ridiculous. The lady behind the counter needs to find some manners!

Thought we would try The Oriental as a few of our usual haunts have been a let down of late. Food was exceptional i had the Singapore vermicelli it was delicious the quarter duck n pancakes fresh n tasty will deffo be ordering again 👌

Never had a bad meal great service and food My favourite it the house special spring onion and black bean sauce

Beef chilli garlic sauce fried rice . Tastless with of putting smell that was salt more salt and to be hounest the worst Chinese meal I've had .

Authentic Chinese food take away

It's a chippy. What more can you say.

Always no.1 choice for food, salt and pepper chicken + chips is fire bro

great food and friendly staff and cheaper than any other chinese. my new fave.

this takeaway has a few comfy chairs to wait on. ghe food is great and well cooked and the staff are friendly even the chef has a smile when he brings the order through. so this is my new fave and is quite a bit cheaper than any other takeaway in at helens.

I wouldn’t have fed this to my dog Very poor

Love this take out. Food is always fresh and clean could be a little more generous with the size of the portions however well worth a go.

House special with spring onions in black bean sauce. Unbelievable jeff!!!

Not bad food I've had a lot better, the staff can't understand a word you say nor do they know how to smile

Great takeaway. Good choice and reasonable price.

Best Chinese I know thanks guys And not forgetting Bobby the delivery man service brilliant And food delish thank you xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The best takeaway on the planet the food is always excellent I like a spicy meal my favourites are chicken curry, sechuan chicken, chicken satay chicken chow mein and always wash my meal down with a won ton soup which is made with home made chicken stock which is stunning get there or order home delivery you will bbe amazed at the value for money and quality of the food.

Love the salt and pepper chicken.
