About Burnley Oriental

Burnley Oriental is a Chinese takeaway in Burnley that also cooks fish 'n' chips, so a single order can cover a Chinese meal and a chip-shop one together. The kitchen works through starters like prawn toast, and honey ribs and salt and pepper chips come from the same menu. Battered sweet and sour dishes sit alongside the curry sauce and curry with rice. The takeaway trades in the evenings only and closes on Wednesdays. The shopfront stands at 129 Burnham Gate, on a busy main road.

Customer Review Summary

Reviews split sharply, with the warmest praise going to the mixed platter, honey ribs and chicken balls, described as fresh and cooked to perfection. Close behind, one diner on their third order enjoys the special curry, battered sweet and sour, prawn toast and meat spring rolls. Others mention good portions, friendly staff and a hot meal collected shortly after ringing through. The complaints are just as concrete. A few say quality has gone downhill: salt and pepper chips lacked flavour and had no peppers or onions, chips were awful, and the food did not taste fresh. Another found the curry sauce so bad it ruined a partner's meal, with dry food and an over fried starter platter, and was told it wasn't the takeaway's fault. Others describe trouble with Just Eat orders, including one cancelled after payment and a request for extra cash on top of the delivery fee, with a promised refund that never arrived and a phone call that ended with the caller shouted at and hung up on.

    “My 3rd time ordering since I came to stay at Gateaway homeless centre down the road from your business in 4th mth staying here. Had special curry special rice good food plus your battered sweet & sour food dish it's all good foods plus your prawn toast & meat spring rolls. I wouldn't like to affend your business look if been your own way for years cos not everyone can afford to do it too. Your takeaway shopfront on busy mainroad to thore. It could do with a shopfront out look update for years to come of nicer look for your family business to but your food is good 👍”

    “Use to get it all time and tasted good just gone downhill, salt and pepper chips had no nice flavour and no peppers or onions in, everything tastes different and not in a good way.”

    “Absolutely shocking customer service from the lady on the phone. Just tells lies. We ordered on just eat and they cancelled the order after taking to money. So when I called to ask what was going on she said you have to pay an extra £2 cash on top of the already nearly £4 delivery fee. She then lied and said the money (nearly £34) would be refunded in ten minutes. What a surprise it hasn’t. I suggested they take our postcode off just eat so this doesn’t happen see shouted even louder at me at me and hung up. At no point did I raise my voice to her. Absolutely scamming for extra money. Probably to claw just eat fees back.”

    “place is absolutely dull and depressing terrible service very rude and horrible staff food is disgusting they don't care abt the customers. My most recent experience I was served with undercooked food and I'm almost certain it had cats …”

    “I have used this as a take away for years, unfortunately it made us sick and they don’t care! My other half was coming home late and decided we are having a late night Chinese. I spoke with the regular woman who’s lovely. The meal arrived the prawns seemed a little soft but okay. An hour later we were both violently sick, both of us were sick for the next at least 12 hours, we felt awful for at least 24hrs. I called the company and explained that there must be an issue with one of there items so they could check and not make other sick it and to be honest I wasn’t happy to pay for food that has made us sick. They said I ordered from Just eat so they could not refund me! CRAP! If I owned a company if I had a loyal customer for years and they had any issue I’d ensure they were happy especially with food that has made them ill! They refused to refund me and I asked Just eat they said to report the company to the health department! I’m not going to report them as this could close a small business who work hard but as they don’t care about me I don’t care about leaving a review! I hope they learn to respect their customers a little more.”
