Customer Review Summary

The complaints are just as concrete. Several reviewers who say it used to be good now describe bland, washed-out dishes, chicken balls full of gristle, chicken with chunks of jelly, and salt chilli chips that arrived as raw frozen chips with onion and peppers. Others report orders gone wrong: egg fried rice instead of chicken chow mein, and a bag missing part of the food. One reviewer describes a two-hour wait that ended with a single cold, hard dish when two were ordered.

    “Amazing food!! Best Chinese we've found by far, and is consistent 👌 We have a weekly Chinese and swapped to this one a few months back as our local was unexpectedly closed, but were so glad we switched as it's so much nicer and a reasonable price. Would absolutely recommend - 5🌟”

    “Awful awful awful, used to be great now it's just disgusting. The chicken has chunks of jelly attached, god knows what that is, not very hot either. I've tried then twice now recently and that's the last time.”
  • Rigby Vincenzo
    “"I recently ordered from Oriental House and was thoroughly impressed! The food was really delicious, and all the dishes were tailor-made to our acquired taste. We had pork ribs, chicken in curry sauce, vermicelli noodles, and vegetables in a garlic oyster sauce. The vegetables were incredibly fresh, with a lovely crunch, and the noodles and rice were bursting with flavor. The pork ribs were juicy and satisfying. I highly recommend this takeaway!"”

    “What a turn around! Had stopped using this, our local, for some months, as the food was declining, the place was looking less than inviting & the food hygiene ratings falling. However, having been told by several people that things had changed, we decided to give it another chance & so glad we did. The food just gets better and better. The place itself has had a much needed upgrade, giving you confidence when you walk in that what you walk out with will be good!! Spare ribs are amazing, lemon or orange chicken is extremely good and great value. Chow mein is no longer full of grease, just delicious layers of flavours. Great job on the upgrade, long may it last!”

    “Shocking food Used to be lovely Did not expect a portion of raw frozen chips with onion and peppers chucked in, no salt or chilli, to be called salt chilli chips,is disgusting. Also chicken balls full of gristle. Only thing I like was prawn crackers. Won't be returning.”
