Very disappointed with the meal last night. The chicken was disgusting. Beef curry wasn't very nice it was too spicy. Grilled dumplings sauce wasn't very nice at all. So overall will never return and wouldn't recommend.

Awful experience-september2023Totally shocked at this restaurant overall. Since moving here in 2021 I’ve always walked past repeatedly telling everyone how much I’d love to try this restaurant one day. Especially with a Chinese being my favourite takeout/eat out.Totally disgusted at the fact we didn’t given menus until about 25 mins after arriving when other people who arrived after us got their menus straight away. After eventually getting our menus and ordering drinks. The drinks tasted so watered down we may as well have just ordered water. We booked this reservation for 6:30pm and got there just before. After ordering food, we still didn’t receive prawn crackers for another 90+minutes. As this was my birthday meal there were a good group of us there, so we took that into consideration with the timings for the food but still at 8:20pm we were only just starting to get our rice which was freezing cold. By this time the children we had with us were starving and tired as it was getting late for them as well as us adults now getting frustrated as we’re also hungry. Granted we were given free drinks each but even then it still took them ages to start to bring anything out. Most of the people on my table didn’t get their mains and just cold rice that we had to send back. Most of the dishes that eventually was brought out, they didn’t even know what meal belonged to who or if the special allergy requirements were met or not.Everyone on tables around us that had come in after had their menus given straight away as well as drinks, not to mention that they had eaten their food way before us which I find shocking! The manager wasn’t very helpful at all and didn’t seem to know what was going on in the restaurant that they was supposed to be managing.Maybe we had just gone there on a bad evening but it had totally ruined by birthday evening that was supposed to be a lovely meal out with family and friends. They’ve definitely lost what would have been very loyal, regular customers!Like I said maybe we had just come there on a bad day but my personal review and opinion on the place is, unless you’ve not long eaten, it’s early enough and you don’t mind waiting hours for food to half come out. I definitely would not recommend this restaurant which is really gutting for me to be writing.

Food was incredible, I had chicken chow mien and sizzling lamb with ginger and spring onion - the taste was amazing, portion sizes were great too and reasonably priced. Will definitely go again ??Kid-friendliness: They provide booster seats for toddlers rather than just high chairs which was great.Wheelchair accessibility: No staircases and access directly from the main road

Amazing food, piping hot when it was delivered and well packed in a snazzy bag. The speed of delivery was amazing and the driver so friendly. We all enjoyed the chow menu, kung po and chicken and ginger dishes and received a bottle of fizzy drink and prawn crackers for the size of our order. Definitely a take away to return to❤️

Great food and above and beyond service. We went for the mid week day all you can offer. There was such an extensive choice of dishes and not buffet style but order from the menu.Our wine glass was never empty and the staff couldn’t have done more for us. Highly recommend!

My husband and I went for dinner in Parkside and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious with reasonable price, and the best part was that the chef sent us a dessert they had created that day. We were delighted

Ordered takeaway of 3 dishes. I had one (Ho fun with mixed vegetables) - was so bad, greasy. The noodles were hard and the vegetables eg broccoli was hard and semi raw. Whole thing was really salty as well. Felt incredibly sick after my meal and would like a refund tbh

Lovely staff that were very accommodating. Food was lovely with lots of options. Good vegetarian variety. Great restaurant, will be coming back.
The atmosphere was very conducive to quiet discussion. Even though there were other diners we could hear each other talk which was important to us. We went on a Wednesday evening when it was not busy. Parking after 7pm on single yellow is free. The food was delicious very fresh tasty not too salty and very well presented. The service was great too. The young gentleman serving us was very pleasant. This is one of the best cooked Chinese foodI have ever tasted. Thank you.

Parkside Restaurant is an amazing Chinese restaurant in Orpington, UK. The restaurant offers an exquisite array of traditional Chinese delicacies. The dishes are created with skill and care, and the menu is regularly updated to incorporate new items. The attentive and friendly staff always ensure a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxed and inviting. The highlight of this restaurant is the home made duck. It is prepared expertly, and the flavor is impeccable. The crispy skin and the succulent flesh of the duck will leave you wanting for more. The spring rolls are also delicious. It is made with fresh ingredients and a flavorful filling. The restaurant is well worth a visit, whether it's for a casual dinner or for a special occasion. Highly recommended!
