The best restaurants serving Chinese food in East of England

The “bbq” ribs were served with something that tasted just like salty meat gravy and the king po was soggy and mushy and all of it made us both feel grim after.

The attitude of the staff was terrible. The short-haired woman did not want to serve us. She threw the boxes at the customer’s face when I requested boxes to take home leftovers. They even charged for those boxes and added a service fee despite their extremely poor attitude towards the customers. They should have asked if we needed help instead of behaving like that. Normally, if you pay cash, they give a 10% discount, but after we complained, they did not give us the discount. We will never return to this place

First and last time I order for delivery, never in over 20 years have I had a bad meal from taste of china and I know if I’d have collected it would have been perfect but waiting over an hour for delivery when I know it would have been ready affected the meal

After reading some of the previous reviews I wasn’t too sure what this place would be like! You can’t please everyone so I decided to give them a go tonight. The food was lovely. The sweet and sour chicken was fresh and tasty and the chow mein was nice enough. Lady on the counter was friendly and I will use them again.

Incredibly tasty, well cooked food. And they take cards!!! This is definitely the best Chinese take-away ever! The prices are reasonable; the staff are friendly and everything is super fresh. They are also very helpful in describing the dishes and can adjust accordingly - no mushrooms in 'x' etc. It can get busy so would advise to phone ahead as they have 'locals' travelling up from Wangford and Beccles on the Suffolk border to eat here. I believe they also deliver too. We would never go anywhere else.

This is the worst Chinese I have ever had. Chicken balls burnt and dry. Singapore noodles were like elastic bands and somehow they made a dry duck fried rice and the ribs had no meat on them. I was unable to eat this food and I really am not that fussy. This place truly is awful, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Wow! Best Chinese in Brentwood Everything was amazing. Food was great quality and very fresh

A hidden gem in Basildon. Reminds me of China. The staff is really nice and the food is one of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had in UK.

Twice in two weeks I have gone in to order and each time they have given us the wrong order which I have only found out once I had returned home! We have had to return to ask for our correct order - Prawn balls instead of Chicken Balls , Peking ribs instead of Peking Chicken and on second occasion Pork Balls instead of Chicken Balls. Not once did they apologise! We have been using Ken Tong’s for over 15 years. The food is usually good.

We were so disappointed tonight. Delivery was an hour, which is fine when the food arrives hot and lovely. Tonights food was only warm. I had a beef curry which the beef had a strange taste of being slightly sour which I then left. The sauce was very "creamy'. I also had a prawn cocktail which had arrived on the hot food and was strangely warmer than the food at the bottom. One prawn had big black mark on. So disappointed as we have had lovely meals in the past.

I've ordered food many times from here. Friendly staff and the food is good quality Just love it and my delivery is small and they never let me down 😁

Ur food was not all that at all I will never get food from u ever again

We have just eaten what will be our last ever take away from Fresh Oriental. Food was an hour and fifty minutes late. We ordered rice and chicken curry amongst other dishes. When it finally arrived, we were short of the curry to go with the rice, and were told we didn't order the curry. Food was poor, the whole experience was extremely disappointing.

We just had a Special Chow Mein and I can honestly say, it was awful, the pork was recognisable, there was another meat in it I think it was supposed to be chicken which tasted terrible, nothing like chicken, never again. The chow Mein was stodgy and tasteless 😣

Worst chips I ever seen and half portion of bbq ribs,don’t know how they dare serve them. waited 1 1/2 hours for delivery
