The Oriental in Reigate and Banstead

This is not my local Chinese takeaway but is my go to one. The food is always fresh and very tasty. Great service from friendly staff! No free prawn crackers anymore but there is a cost of living crisis going on.

I ordered Beef squires only got two pieces of Beef each stick 😒 no more for me Beef squires!!

One of the best Chinese meals we've had in a while. All dishes were top notch. Highly recommend!

It's a takeaway, doing Chinese food ... yum yum...

It’s a shame the food was tasty but very greasy and full of MSG left my mouth very dry.

Fantastic Chinese food. Have been going here for years.

Amazing food great service lunch time deals are perfect great price

Beautiful food but the one star ⭐️ hygiene score is a concern! Not displayed on shop window either! Will not return till I see a Five star hygiene certificate displayed on shop window!

Used to be great but lately the meat dishes have been smaller and the other dishes just seem oily and tastless except for the onion which comprises 1/3 of the dishes

The food is very tasty, but they had forgotten one of our main meals. This resulted in us having to drive back, which took us 25 minutes and that meant the rest of our food got cold and its not the same reheated in the microwave as the food goes dry. They should have reissued us a new order really. Overall, im very disappointed as we hoped they'd check orders before handing them to customers to take, especially when spending quite a bit on a lunch order. It's a shame, I won't be rushing back.

Consistently good food and service

Went to shop two times now and twice is was not open On web page states it's open . Waste of time never going there again

Ignore the bad comments guys. This place has been going for years and the food and service is on point. Certainly at times they've been busy so food takes a little longer. That's what comes with good food 🍲

I do not recommend that place. Me and my friend had a (first and last time) take away on 13th of October 2022. My friend had a sweet and sour chicken with vegetables and plain rice, chicken was not very fresh. I had rice noodles with prawns. After 30 minutes from eating, I had typical symptoms of ciguatera. I advise not to eat in this place.

Would give a higher rating if they would deliver

Blaitenly ignore you … leave you waiting for double The time … Poor customer service Absolute joke!! Do NOT recommend! Really upset told her my children indoors waiting She looked and sniggered at me … :( Shame as wanted to try a new one …

Best local Chinese in the Redhill and Merstham area. Good portions and great food. Recommend to anyone

Consistently excellent service, I've never been disappointed. Delicious !

No need for words. Hands down the best Chinese takeaway shop I’ve ever bought from.

My most favourite Chinese takeaway restaurant

Great place to eat. Lovely vegan selection too

Cold duck and beef spicy having specifically asked for no spice due to husband’s intolerance. Very disappointed. Would like a refund but no email to request one

Definitely worth the money and tastes better than the rest in Reigayr and Redhill

Very good food every time without the fail

Lovely food. Generous portions. Super.

Worth a longer drive. Still piping hot when I get home. Actually has great flavour unlike a lot of places now

Great food as always the lady boss is always friendly we dnt eat Chinese from anywhere else!

Got to say I’ve been using this Chinese for many years now the staff are absolutely fantastic and cater to my food allergies as well The food is always nice and never had a problem with it and the staff are so friendly and helpful I would highly recommend this Chinese to anybody they are credit to their profession Thank you Del

Always great service and great food :)

Nice service. I didn't come here often . I always feel the smell of Chinese food is good but for me the end product isn't my fave.

Very very nice actually.... had much worse! The girl was friendly too.

Really great staff. Ordered when they were nearly closing time as I just finished work she was very friendly and welcoming. The food is always great.. keep it up 😊

Thay always forget your food if you order through the phone It's not bad food but not worth the hassle

Lovely food. We love the shrimp curry. Beautiful. Best Chinese ever.

Best Chinese in the area by far. Used to come from Bletchingley and the other side of Redhill for their grubba-dub-dub, before settling in Merstham..... Its that good

This place is always busy. Large menu, all cooked to order, and friendly staff. And the food had always been good.

told to collect order at 5:15 so arrived then, food still isn't even ready at 5:40. When spending £55 on food don't expect to have time wasted like this

Always good food and service even in these strange times

Amazing food and customer service. By far the best Chinese takeaway!

One of the best Chinese takeaways I’ve been to. Very reasonable price, great food and quick service.

Had a takeaway from you last night, the food was lovely. It was very busy and there seemed to be a bit of a backlog but the girl behind the counter was very polite and kept all the customers happy. Very clean takeaway, Would recommend.

Food good fast service clean covid free recommend

Lovely food, regularly get from here, always delicious

By far the best Chinese in the area! Food is always tasty and very good price!

I'd like to put a complaint in against the English girl behind the counter . I rang at 19.01 to be told id be called in an hour . After waiting an hour and 10 mins I decided to arrive at the shop . When she said something about it working I clearly said it was not working and I would not be using you again to which she shouted in front of customers it wasn't her problem . Now if everyone thought like me it would be her problem as she would not have a job . I found her very rude and she should be sent on a customer service course cos she clearly has no manners and the customer is alway right . Its a shame I won't be using your Chinese again but I'm not going to pur up with a rude girl being rude when my money pays her wages. I ended up waiting an hour and 20 mins for my food . Emma

Great food all the time, being going there for 17 years.

All ways a good standard of food.

Best Chinese takeaway around. Always very happy with the food, service and the surprise ‘on the house’ dish they provide free with larger orders.

Regular here for years. Very poor customer experience on my last attempted order. Left on hold for over 10mins with no apology just a "stressed what do you want." Then told an hour wait for food. Place sounded busy, heard someone complaining about the wait in the background and guy sounded stressed. Told them to forget it. If the kitchen is backed up and you cant cope better to take the phone off the hook. Not waste my time and make one of your regulars feel like an inconvenience.

The Food is absolutely pukka and The Won Ton Soup that I had is the best one they do in there. Won Ton Soup is my top favourite soup from The Chinese

Nice food, would recommend *****

Food is always good from here. Love the lunchtime specials great value. Shame they dont take cards or deliver but when you are good you can pick and choose what you provide and it certainly doesn't mean they are not busy, quite the opposite!

Good quality and excellent value

Delicious meal last night. Best I've had in a long while!

Like most people who reviewed the food is delicious but just wished they delivered.

Best chinese in town, the egg fried rice is to die for, i dont eat chinese takeaway anywhere else

Ordered Singapore fried noodles was the best version of singapore friend noodles ive ever tasted. Very tasty and nice portion size wish the place delivered!!

Always nice food and great prices

Great food... Lovely family business. They dont deliver but they make up for it with GREAT food.

Although I go for the vegetarian options, the food is 'okay' and nothing special. I think they have had the chairs for waiting, carpet and fish tank for 20 years now! They could make the place a bit more presentable. Just a tad. If they have taken too long with your food, don't expect an apology.

Lived in Merstham for nearly 12 years and used the Oriental from the first weekend. I can honestly say the food is always excellent and have never had a bad meal there. Sometimes there is a wait for the food but the just proves how popular it is and quality never falls.

This evening I found glass in my food I reported it to the Chinese and gave them the food back , I was told why didnt I separate the food back in the containers! How about u not serve glass that could of ended up on my toddlers plate ! Thankgod I found it and not them I was refused a refund

Always excellent food & they always help with off the menu food. Would recommend to everyone.

Placed my order, got home and there was no chicken balls. Went back down to say I haven't received them. Got told that I had and that I was a liar... for £4.20 it was the principal. Absolute joke. When asked if I could speak to the manager she said she was to busy.

The best Chinese takeaway I have ever used. I travel 10 miles (yes really) to get their Kung po chicken.

Efficient, good quality food. Generous portions

Swayed by the various recommendations I tried this takeaway for the first time a short while ago. Turned out to be more of a throwaway rather than a takeaway as the food was absolutely appalling. Having driven almost 300 miles my wife and I had no option, as it was evening and I had driven to pick the food up, but to eat some of it. I took the remains back the next day and spoke with the owner who said she'd been there 25 years and never had a complaint before. Well, if the locals think that this is the best local Chinese takeaway rest assured I will not be trying the others or, indeed, this one again. The owner's only attempt to recompense was to offer me a free dish. No incentive there! I do not like giving negative reviews but in this case it is well deserved most especially considering the owner's attitude. Having eaten in some of the finest Chinese restaurants in London I do have some small experience. You have been warned.

The food is excellent and the staff are always very friendly. Great for a night in with friends and family! Highly recommended.

Best Chinese in the area. We always get the deep fried crispy beef and I would highly recommend it. The staff are also friendly

Nice food, consistent and not too expensive.

Good food friendly counterstaff.

Best Chinese food I've had in a long time

Good food but so frustrating when you are told it’s a 25 minutes wait over the phone you arrive 25 minutes later and sit waiting for 25 minutes!!!!

Best Chinese food for miles, it's popularity means that sometimes you have to wait

Pretty good food, but can sometimes be quite a long wait, even if you phone an order through

Lovely food and reasonably priced was a bit of a wait,, but well worth it

One of the best in Redhill, I love the food here

Great food if you can't get threw on the phone just turn up as the wait is short

Very nice people and nice food also

Great food and price only shame they dont do deliveries

This used to be the best Chinese takeaway in Redhill. I don’t know if it’s changed hands or they have a new chef, but for the last three meals from there we have not got close to quality we had got used to. In the latest meal the crispy duck was mostly burnt duck, not sure if there was any actual chicken in the sweet sour.

Good quality food highly recommended take away. Card machine is back now and the staff are all friendly. Best Chinese in the area.

Food and service are of a high standard Everything taste so fresh

Best Chinese in the area by far!

Just moved into the area and this is the only Chinese restaurant around. It didn't disappoint one bit! Food fresh, excellent portions and beautifully cooked. Has to be without doubt one of the best around and all served with a lovely smile. Cant wait to order again.

They only take cash which is inconvenient food is different now, new owners? Chips were reheated and not fresh.

Amazing food. So lucky to have such a good Chinese as our local

Firstly they don't take cards of any description and quite frankly, the Lady Owner has no apparent interest in you as a Customer!

Definitely one of the best take away Chinese restaurants I've tasted around the Merstham, Redhill and Reigate. The food is cooked well, they seem to use fairly good ingredients and the food is cooked at lightning speeds. Extremely happy!

Best Chinese I've ever had! Food tastes so fresh and the quality is amazing. Would always get my Chinese from here! Only thing they could do better would be to deliver!

Lovely food, staff a little abrupt and they don't take card payment!

Used to love the food. Not as great as it used to be. 4/5 for food, but knocked another star off as they now no longer accept card!

Great Chinese food. Best in merstham and one of the best around.

Great takeaway. Tasty and great value too. Highly recommend!

I live in Wallington and go here, it's that good. Biggest chicken balls I've ever seen!

Omg the food is a Amazing And tasty

Roast pork & duck with rice is brilliant.

The best chinese in merstham would recommend it to anyone!

Usually good tasty dishes only had wrong food dish once was prawns which is a bit naughty as a lot of people are allergic to fish but apart from this always been exclp
