Most Disliked
The main drawback to note is that Oriental Chef operates on a cash-only basis, which sometimes catches customers off guard. This policy can be inconvenient for those who prefer card payments. While the casual atmosphere suits a variety of occasions, some visitors might find it less fitting for more formal dining experiences. A few diners have commented on occasional delivery delays during busy hours, though this tends to be outweighed by the goodness of the food. Additionally, while the menu diversity is impressive, some customers wish for even more vegetarian options to explore. Overall, these minor complaints don't overshadow the enjoyable dining experience.

I love noodles. I came across this place after a friend recommended it to me and it was the best Chinese takeaway place for miles. The service was significantly better than others in the area, including Oriental Star; the staff were extremely polite and friendly. Of course, I had to order some noodles, and it wasn't as salty as others in the area and it had no soy sauce accumulated at the bottom. So delicious. I would definitely recommend for anyone living in the area. Great service, great food, reasonable price. Thank you, Lord.

First time ordering from here and it was really delicious. Hot and tasty, everything hit the spot. We had the salt and chilli pizza box (along with other dishes) the box had so much in it and was a yummy naughty treat. Delivery was good too, no complaints here. We have found our new favourite Chinese.

Absolutely wonderful customer service. Each time I come here for a takeaway, they staff are always so polite and attentive. They also have an excellent telephone manner and are very patient. I placed an order and within about 5 minutes it was ready. Piping hot and fresh. The food here is always delicious. Would definitely recommend the vegetarian "chicken " and king prawn dishes. I asked for them to be extra spicy and they had no problem accommodating my request at no extra charge. They also gave us free prawn crackers which was a bonus. Deserves 10/10 stars. Xie Xie!

Good range of authentic and more western dishes. As my partner used to live in Asia, this suits us well. I'm a big fan of their Pizza boxes that are filled with side dishes, these are great with a beer or ten. Lovely staff too.
