Really good food, we ordered on Just Eat and collected, very tasty, hot, reasonably priced and very good portions.

Got a takeaway from here on Saturday. Was good overall but rice was a bit clumpy. Had Sweet and sour Chicken HK style, plain chow mein, egg fried rice and the Oriental Star appetiser. It doesn't tell you what you'll get on the menu but is for 2 people. We had 2 dry ribs, 2 small chicken pcs, 4 spring rolls, 2 samosas, 3 small prawn toasts and half tray of crispy seeweed. Not sure if it worked out good value for money at £8.70 but was all tasty enough. Had trouble seeing if they were open for business as a lot of links on google were saying that they only did delivery (like no collection option) and items that weren't available to order?? I think it has something to do with Just Eat or Deliveroo!?? Was easy though to just go in and order and take away. The April 2022 price list is still the current one in case you were confused like us. ??Vegetarian options: Always a vegetarian option if you opt for plain noodles or rice. Also a lot of tofu dishes.

Used this takeaway for many years but not for the last couple of years but was always good. Decided to go back tonight for myself and my daughter and quite frankly never again ! The most tasteless takeaway I’ve ever had the disapointment to eat ! Even the instant curry sauce that you whisk up in minutes at home tasted better than what I paid for ! My daughters house special chow mein was mostly veg and noodles and extremely tasteless as was my duck and king prawn curry ! Never again ! Sorry for the poor review but paid for good food and was delivered very poor tasteless food !

Just before the pandemic really hit here our favourite Chinese takeway (New Golden Chef on Claredon Park Road) closed down for good and we knew we had to find another one to fill that void. We tried Oriental Star for the first time over 2 years ago and I can say with full confidence that it's the best Chinese takeaway in the Oadby/Stoneygate area.We've tried several over the years because we find it hard to believe that one on our doorstep is also the best, but it's true! We always come back to Oriental Star and nothing compares to it! If you're within delivery range you have to try it! And even if you're not, you could always collect! It's probably worth the travel!Few tips- I'd suggest ordering a while after opening time to ensure you get the freshest food. Ordering your food for 7/7.30 tends to be the sweet spot for us. And if they're busy, it might be worth the wait. We had to wait 2 hours for our food yesterday (they told us this prior to ordering, so not an issue) and when the food arrived, it was incredible! My cousin Simmy hasn't stopped smiling since she ate the food!

Had a beef curry last night of which more than half went in the bin. This was truly the worst Chinese meal I've ever had - it didn't even taste like curry - more like watered down, processed junk with 2 random slices of carrots and 5 peas thrown in for good measure. Absolutely awful!!!

We placed an order and specified that we’d like 2 of the dishes vegan. They were tofu dishes so were already vegetarian so just needed to know if they had milk or egg in them essentially. Also put in the note to ring me with any issues. They cancelled it immediately without bothering to ring me and when I rang to ask why they had cancelled, they said it was because they were busy and couldn’t be bothered to check the ingredients of our food. I asked them if there was any egg or milk in the tofu dishes to which they responded “we don’t know” and continued to tell me they didn’t have enough time to talk to me and the chef was also yelling at me in the background. Worst part is, this was my first place trying this out… DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE EATING RESTRICTIONS/ALLERGIES as they do not know or care what they put into their food. Disgusting service.
