Had my chow mein delivered, lovely hot and fresh and tasty. Oriental Chinese is my favourite takeaway ever 10/10 100% 😊

Rice was a little bland and pork in it was slightly dry but flavourful. Decent amount of prawns compared to our local that was closed. The crispy duck was a little dry but absolutely loads, could've done with more salad for a half duck. Prawn toast was exceptional and really enjoyed the chilli crispy beef. Always appreciate free prawn crackers but don't end up finishing them. Was a few minutes earlier than the time booked. Would order again.

Unfortunately we ordered a Chinese from the Oriental tonight. We ordered a quarter crispy duck, a pancake roll, king prawn chow mein, chicken in cashew nuts in a yellow bean sauce and a curry sauce. They gave us free prawn crackers. It was delivered and the chicken in cashew nuts was very watery, greasy and had no cashew nuts at all, not even one. The king prawn chow mein had just three over cooked prawns in it. We basically spent just over £29 and ate just the duck pancakes and the spring rolls. Out of respect, I called them up to pass on our feedback instead of writing it on a public forum. Only to be told that if I couldn’t see any nuts in the dish that was my problem. Also, that I was a liar and there would have been eight king prawns in the dish. I told her there were just three, she said I was lying and that she can assure me there were eight. I think I'm more in shock at how I was spoken to than the awful food! The lady who answers the phone there needs to learn some customer service skills. I called to give feedback out of respect and she showed no respect, customer service skills or decorum with her response. We weren’t looking for any freebies, just wondered why it was so poor. I won’t be ordering from there ever again and it was an absolute waste of £30, it wasn’t what we ordered and it was mostly inedible. When you work hard for your money and fancy a treat - you don’t expect such a poor standard of food or service. They’ve let themselves down. Disappointing. Avoid.

We both had the best takeaway meal last night, I do not usually give reviews but we loved the food so much. Literally the best Chinese we have tasted and that is saying something. Never ordering from anywhere else anymore! Food came within 20 mins, really good quality food and the taste was sensational. Still thinking about it now.... yummy! 🤤❤️

Used the oriental and loved the oriental for over 13 years, but the last 3 orders have been terrible, missing items, uncooked, overcooked. Thought it was just a bad night maybe so gave a try again tonight and spent £40 and again its terrible, poppadoms are burnt, noodles overcooked, loads of items missing, its missing 2 boxes of seaweed, (apparently they don't don't more and replaced with crispy rolls) but its advertised and paid for. Crab claws missing to

Absolutely shocking service, ordered via their site. 45 mins for delivery. Called at 45 minutes. Driver isn’t here yet so will be back in 10 minutes. So I asked how long has my food been sat waiting. Oh no the driver is here now I’m told. So I asked again how long has it been sat there? A lovely shouting response….you want this order or what? Want me to cancel it! What amazing customer service!!!!! And small businesses need our help in this situation! I for 1 am glad I was paying cash so didn’t have to argue to get my money back!!

Called to see where our order was as it was due to be delivered and still said preparing. Was told the order was ready and the driver would be back there in 10 minutes to collect it and deliver it. When I asked how long it had been sat there I was shouted at ‘look it’s ready, it’s here, do you want it or you want cancel?’ Can’t believe how I was spoken to. I have ordered from here for years but I will never go here again now out of principle. Absolutely disgusting

Disappointed, I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years and have always requested items from the menu, requesting certain ingredients are not added due to food allergies, up until tonight, this had always been observed however, tonight an order of over £40 was waisted as all of the ingredients I had requested that were not added was ignored! When trying to contact the restaurant, I didn’t get anywhere and was constantly met with a busy engaged tone!

It was a great meal I had one of there set meals Prawn sesame toast, Chicken with mushrooms and Noodles with sweet and sour sauce The chicken was cooked perfectly and was moist and fell apart in your mouth the noodles were cooked nicely not hard nice and soft the toast wasn’t hard ever and had a nice crunch and Good prawn flavour the sauce was sweet with a nice sour hit. I recommend this Chinese highly the staff are great the person on the phone was very good by describing the food they serve and let you know if it might be a bit late or not which was great the delivery driver didn’t say much but I don’t matter because of how high quality the food is I will be ordering food from here again!!!!

I'm giving 3 stars because my husband liked his lemon chicken. My tofu was okay but I've had better. The boiled rice I ordered was inedible as they put egg in it. If I wanted egg in my rice I would have ordered egg fried rice. I cooked some microwave rice to go with the meal which kind of destroys the whole point of getting a takeaway! I hate egg. If they are going to put egg in the boiled rice they should say on the menu. I would not have ordered from them. I won't again.

Had been a loyal customer here for 15 years but after yesterday's lack of customer service will be looking elsewhere. Also, it's unacceptable not to take card payment in this day and age. You take payments online, therefore it is natural for the customer to assume they can pay by card on collection. Wasted time I didn't have going to look for a cash machine. The food is good actually, but there are so many other options in Newport I'm not going to go out of my way to come here again.

Went as a couple on valentines day, and when we arrived we were the only people in the restaurant (and had a booking) however the waitress directed us to sit on a sofa before we could go to our table, this was just an indicator of how the night was going to go... I'll start with the positives, the food was hot and tasty, and there was a good selection of vegetarian options, I definitely suggest the paneer chilli masala! My vegetable vindaloo was not spicy at all however, which was disappointing. Not the best indian food I have ever eaten, but not the worst... Unfortunately the negatives far outweighed the positives. The service was slow and odd, to say the least. The waitress took our drinks order then proceeded to go and wrap cutlery instead of fetching the drinks, eventually they arrived, followed by our popadoms. Our dirty plates from the popadoms were left with us whilst we ate our starters. A long wait later our main courses arrived. Once we had nearly finished the main courses, the smoke alarm went off. No apologies from any of the staff, and no indication that it was going to be turned off. We asked for the bill, and the only other table asked for their food to takeaway, as there was no indication the deafening noise was going to end. We were then informed there was no card machine, so I had to sit listening to the smoke alarm for ten minutes whilst my partner found a cash point. A little advance warning if this would go a long way! As we walked round to the taxi rank we could still hear the alarm sounding. Overall a weird experience, made worse by the constant alarms and chirping from the bar area, and the deafening smoke alarm at the end! A lack of music in a completely empty restaurant makes for a very uncomfortable experience. If this hadnt been chosen and booked as a valentines treat by my partner I doubt I would have visited, and I cant say that I will visit again, as the food quality did not outweigh the issues listed above.

I’m one of those people who just can’t find the time to meal prep and when I do they are quite tragic and make me not want to do it again. I mentioned to a work colleague I had just signed up to a week of a major online provider of prepped pots. They recommended HealthHut, I checked the location and called in. I tasted the chicken carbonara on site then ordered 10 prepped pots for the following week. I cancelled the online provider and chose these as I have the flexibility to check the menu and drop their instagram a dm. From chicken tikka, nude burgers with sweet potato, pulled jerk chicken and more. i’ve been very impressed with the food and it’s also meant a haven’t been loading up on JustEat orders when i get home from work. Working full time and doing OU, my fridge monday to friday has allowed me to be so clean. I jumped on the scales last weekend and in a month without any exercise I had lost 6Ib. I re-signed up to the gym after seeing that. motivation levels are so high now, knowing i can lose weight , still eating my treats. so the gym will only add to the solid foundation of a sensible diet that health hut has provided.

Beautiful hotel, but could have a few more small amenities in rooms 🤍 My fiancé and I had a beautiful stay at the Mercure Hotel when attending Wales for a church convention. Location - The hotel is located in the city centre in Newport and it’s very close to the Friars Shopping Centre and Newport Food Market (4 minute walk). Parking is not available onsite but it’s a short walk to the nearest car park which is very handy (7 minute walk). Staff - The hotel staff were lovely! Main desk were so polite regardless of it being a busy check-in period over the weekend. I didn’t catch her name but to the person who wished us a lovely stay, we appreciate your kindness. Zero qualms with check in or check out 😊 View - We were very lucky to be on one of the higher floors facing the beautiful hills and nature of Wales. The sunrise was also a beautiful touch to witness! Bedroom - EVERYTHING WAS SO CLEAN! Spotless in fact, so kudos to the hotel staff for the upkeep - especially after a busy day out. The bed was extremely soft and comfortable. Windows don’t open (which is understandable as it’s very high floor) but the A/C definitely worked! It was cool when needed, and nice and toasty for the cooler evenings. The rooms must also be very soundproof because I couldn’t even hear a peep of any talking in corridors, next door, traffic outside, or anything so we had a very peaceful stay. Unfortunately, there was no fridge, or small things like biscuits in the room which were the only things I’d suggest adding (especially for the price), but other than this there were main essentials such as a kettle (tea and coffee), iron, iron board, wardrobe space, TV, etc. Bathroom - Small but very aesthetically pleasing! The interior design for the bathroom was stunning. Nice light-up mirror, beautiful lighting (for makeup lovers), and a nice roomy shower - and, again, everything was CLEAN!!! We love that 🧼 They’ve gone green so no shower caps or nail files etc in the bathroom which was unfortunate but these things can be requested from the main desk downstairs. Restaurant/Bar - The Restaurant/Bar area looked very lovely and roomy, and had a very quick service. We ended up ordering in breakfast but I’d love to try the hotel food some time. Overall, this is a beautiful hotel with amazing interior placed quite randomly in the middle of a shopping area but nonetheless, we had a very comfortable stay and would recommend for couples for a quick weekend stay. 🤍

We booked in advance for a late Sunday lunch, we arrived at 2pm but had to spend 10 minutes in the car park waiting for someone to leave as there are not enough spaces for the number of guests they can accommodate apparently. Got in and sat down at 2:15. It was very busy, but from what we could see most people were either already eating or had eaten and were waiting for their tables to be cleared. The waitress came quickly to get a drinks order however the food order wasn't taken for another 15 minutes and the food itself didn't arrive for another hour. When it did arrive the food was very good, however I was disappointed to only have two very small slices of beef. I heard someone on the table next to me complain about the portion size too. It didn't get them anywhere so I didn't bother to mention it. We decided to have desserts which again were very nice, and thankfully didn't take quite as long as the mains did! So all in all, although the food was nice, service was very slow. We booked later thinking we would be served and back home quicker, however by the time we left we'd been there over 3 hours, so this isn't the place for a quick bite to eat!
