  “Gorgeous and tasty meal with colleagues this evening. Chose the buffet blow out menu, was delicious, couldn't be beaten on price. Great service will definitely visit again if we come back to Stevenage.”

  “With a change of location i’d not been to the Old Town Chinese Restaurant for quite some time. Walking in, nothing had changed, the furniture is basic tables and wooden chairs, nothing fancy. To my amazement the staff remembered me, there are very few white people who use chopsticks left handed. The service was its normal effective and frills experience. They keep all their star value for the food - some of the beat Chinese food i’ve tasted.”

  “Food was good, service was excellent but we were shocked when we received the bill. The food was not itemised on the bill and when questioned the staff she said the prices are on the menu so I took one home to check later. They also charged a hefty service charge. My dad had ordered something that they had recommended and that we could not find on the menu and it worked out to be the most expensive dish. Also noticing what’s stated on their menu, it states that they accept all major credit cards but when paying she told me I could not pay by AMEX. Then also they charge £1 for under £20 which is not legal under UK law. Since January 2018, UK businesses have been banned from charging extra fees for card payments (debit or credit cards like Visa, Mastercard, Amex). This applies to all transactions, including small amounts under £20. Overall, since pricing is not clear and it was more expensive than expected for 5 adults at £165.20 we won’t be returning.”

  “8 of us went for a meal here on a Friday lunchtime. The food was great and the service was brilliant. Unfortunately we were the only people in the restaurant so there wasn't much atmosphere. I imagine it's better in the evening.”

  “We had a very disappointing experience here on Saturday when we had pre-booked a table for 7:15pm. We arrived on time but we were told our table wasn’t ready and that we’d need to wait 20 minutes outside in the cold (including my 75yo dad). I asked why, and the lady said where because we have no table. Tried to explain that is why we booked one, but did not get an applogy or a clear explanation, just shoulder shrugs and even turned her back to me and left. My parents insisted we wait as it was Sat and hard to get a table elsewhere. After 20 minutes, I went back in to ask about the delay, and the staff member spoke to me in a very rude, almost shouting tone, saying it wasn’t their fault because the previous customers had arrived “30 minutes late.” However, when those diners came out, we asked them directly and they said they were actually early, not late. So the excuse we were given wasn’t even true. At that point, we decided to leave and eat elsewhere because the way we were spoken to and treated was completely unacceptable. There was no apology, no effort to find a solution, and no regard for the fact that we had elderly family members waiting outside in cold weather. We won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place based on the disrespectful service we experienced.”

  “I have been to this place twice now and I think it’s really good. The dishes are well presented and tasty. Not overly covered in sauce like some other places. The quality of the meat and fish is good and the service is great. It’s been fairly full with couples and large groups when I’ve been in. Few things I’d like to see on the menu like soft shell crab and kung po prawn (only chicken and beef options) but honestly this place is great. Decent value too. Would go again.”

  “This was our first visit and we were very pleased we came. We had the set menu A for two people which was very reasonably priced and contained a wide range of dishes. All deliciously cooked and hot. Service was outstanding and staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be coming back 😁”

  “Great food and great service the food is reasonably priced considering we ordered 5 portions atmosphere probably wasn’t the peak as It wasn’t the busiest hour for the restaurant”
