We haven’t been to oriental Garden since before COVID and wow it did not disappoint! The food was out.of.this.world! I’m quite fussy with meats however I ate quite a selection and the meals were so delicious!

This was our first restaurant meal sine lifting of lockdown. We decided to go for the all you can eat menu. The quality of food was excellent, from beginning to end. The choice was also good with plenty of options. We went for a platter of starters and enjoyed trying different dishes. Service was also excellent, with pleasant staff. We would certainly recommend a visit and will be coming back.

Is not all you can eat. It is just a set menu. You get to choose a certain amount of starters, then the duck pancakes or something else then the main course you can choose 2 each if there are two of you or 5 if there are 6 of you. However saying that, the food was lovely, have had better crispy duck. The staff were very attentive. Nice toilets. The restaurant was a bit cold, but not uncomfortable.

Very expensive at £24.95 pp and they then add service charges on top of that. £85.00 for 3 people is a lot and we all had one soft drinks each. Food was nice think this is the most expensive Chinese I have been too. Pre pandemic was £15.95pp

First time in quite a few years of attending the restaurant and I preferred the old buffet style where you could try a little bit of everything. Husband and I have different tastes and we wanted 2 main dishes each, was told could only choose 3 dishes and if still hungry then can choose another. Was a bit annoyed that the service charge was added to bill when this should be discretionary, I understand if it is a large table but there were just the 2 of us.

We had the Dim sum to start and then opted for the lunch menu.. We loved our food the beef in black bean udon noodle. My son had the pork noodle, which he enjoyed.

We had a lovely meal. Lots of yummy food. The waiting staff were efficient but very busy making us feel slightly rushed. The decor needs updating too but overall we had a fantastic evening and would will visit again soon

Unfortunately we was made to feel uncomfortable ordering more of the first course. They didn’t send out many ribs satay wings etc but when we asked for more it was like we was in the wrong. The lady then said how many more 2-3 and stated you not waste. ( Never had this at a Eat all you can) Didn’t dare ask for anything else and they was quick to get us to go..

The food wasn’t as good as the last time we visited, pre-Covid!
