Customer Review Summary
The Regent Special Curry, also called the special house curry, is the dish diners name most, with two reviewers singling it out. Close behind are the steak dishes, Steak in Black Pepper sauce and fillet steak with cashew nuts. Singapore chow mein, a satay sauce one reviewer calls the best they have had, and a set menu described as just so much food also get mentions. Food is called delicious, fresh, not at all greasy and piping hot, and one reviewer who dislikes sweet and sour says even that tasted great. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming and accommodating, including toward a nine month old baby, and some reviewers say they have been returning for years. The one clear complaint comes from a reviewer who reports dirty toilets, calling them grim, and says they will not return, though they still rated the food and service good. One diner notes the restaurant gave them a table even though they called after 8pm.

“Absolutely beautiful, the owners/staff were so welcoming and friendly, we were visiting the area and had takeout. The food was fresh, not at all greasy and the best Chinese food we have ever had. Our only complaint is that we live 200 miles away so won't be regulars.”
