Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are sharply split on Oriental Star, with chicken balls the most-mentioned item and wildly inconsistent results, some find them "nice and warm" and spot on, while others report them "very pink and raw in the middle" or dry and overcooked. Chow mein draws similar praise from fans as "right on spot" but one reviewer describes a pork chow mein with "a weird smell and taste," and another calls a chow mein order simply "awful." On the positive side, diners repeatedly highlight fast, hot food, generous portions, friendly staff, and menu deals like a discount plus free spring rolls or curry triangles on orders over £25, with the crispy seaweed also singled out favorably. But the complaints are substantial and detailed: reviewers describe dry chips, gloopy or "tasteless" sweet and sour sauce, an inedible BBQ sauce, and in two cases £40 to £50 orders going largely in the bin. Delivery drivers are consistently called pleasant even when the food itself disappointed.

“Ordered via just eat. Got a discount on spending £25 plus a choice of either free vegetable spring rolls or curry triangles. Huge menu. Good quality fresh hot tasty food and generous portions. Can't wait to order again. Yumtastic 😋”

“First time ordering from here as they offer crispy seaweed on their menu which the mrs absolutely loves with a chinese meal. Ordered on uber eats which was nice and convenient, unfortunately the food from here was really bad. Chicken balls were dry and overcooked, chips were also dry. Pork Chow mein had a weird smell and taste to it, as well as being dry. Duck dish was also dry and over cooked. literally the only nice part about the meal was the seaweed. Don't think I'll be ordering from here again unfortunately. Normally like to reheat leftovers the day after but this will all be going in the bin. very disappointed considering the amount spent on the meal.”

“GREAT CHINESE. Don't know why the reviews seem to be low. Took a chance and definitely my favourite Chinese in nuneaton. The food is great and menu special deals make it not too expensive. Only criticism is that service was a bit slow on walk in.”

“Ordered via just eat but the food was terrible. Chicken balls were very pink and raw in the middle, chips looked like they had been cooked 5 times very dry and dark, crispy shredded beef tasted weird and the sauce was thick and gloopy. Won’t be using again what a waste of £50, most of it went in the bin!”
- Diana Mihalache
“We had a really nice experience ordering from here. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavour. The kids’ meals were tasty too and they really enjoyed them. The staff were amazing, very friendly and welcoming. The place was also very clean and well organised, even though it’s mainly a takeaway. Great food, great service, and we’ll definitely be ordering again!”
