Customer Review Summary
Sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style with egg fried rice is the order reviewers name most, described as hot, tasty and affordable. Close behind are salt chilli beancurd and salt chilli chips, and a Singapore chow mein called beautiful. One diner enjoyed the Oriental Star appetiser of dry ribs, spring rolls, samosas and prawn toasts, though found the rice a bit clumpy. Portions are repeatedly called generous, and several mention friendly staff and food arriving piping hot. Three reviewers were far less happy. One describes a watered down beef curry with a few slices of carrot and some peas, and another found a duck and king prawn curry and a house special chow mein tasteless. A third reports that an order with two tofu dishes requested vegan was cancelled without a call, with staff saying they did not know whether the dishes contained egg or milk. One reviewer adds that walking in to order and collect was easy, despite online listings suggesting delivery only.
