So disappointed. Our usual Chinese was shut so we decided to try here. Was really busy which is usually a good omen. Ordered house chowmein & prawns fried rice. The rice was passable. However, the chowmein was disgusting. Something resembling a mushroom was pure slime. As were the noodles. We only tasted then binned it. 3 hours later I can still taste that vile food that wasn't even eaten, only tasted. I don't like leaving bad reviews, but the food was quite simply, inedible & vile.

Food was great just a little over priced but would go

Lived 5mins down the road for over 12 years been going over 12 years always had a great experience and such friendly staff food is lovely bit more pricy than other places but can’t complain

1st takeaway order..service and presentation very good..food was absolutely shocking..chicken looked uncooked..chow menu was bone dry..pork was just fat balls...waste of £35..never again!

First time take away…..delivered promptly, packaged beautifully and most importantly amazing food. Well done Gourmet Oriental we’ll be ordering again next week ??Vegetarian options: Mock Duck is incredible, my other half is a meat eater and thoroughly enjoyed it

Probably the best 'Asian Takeout' place I've had. Presentation was excellent considering it came as a complete meal in a tuppawear box.My only gripe is the paper menu we received through the post has hard to read allergen information.I'm refering to the symbol based allergen table in the front of the pamphlet, but the only allergen being listed next to the food items being nuts, marked with an "N" instead of the symbol. Despite the disclaimer in the front of the pamphlet, you should really only have one or the other, not both.Other than that, pretty good.Dietary restrictions: Definitely call the store about allergen information before ordering

Sadly gone down hill 2023, was pricey but good, now its just pricey. Shame.

Terrific food, delivered quickly and was hot and plentiful, even though I ordered the smaller options.The seafood and vegetable options are plentiful and though a casual glance it seems the [prices are on the higher side this is more than made up for by the quantity and quality.I cannot praise this establishment highly enough.Vegetarian options: Excellent and very tasty, I am almost a carnivore B.T.W.:-)

Shame. At least I know to use my usual Chinese now. Thought I’d try a new one. Food was average really. This will make you laugh. They hide their card machine under a cloth as they prefer cash. Normally for an order of over £15 you might expect a small bag of prawn crackers. Not here. Too expensive apparently. No worries. No generic response required, although you may want to assess your business approach.
Always use gourmet oriental but tonight disappointed with the crispy duck and looked over cooked or hopefully not reheated from last night. A good quality check would of stopped it leaving the restaurant

We ordered for delivery but refused to to deliver even though we are local. Said they couldn’t park up even though plenty of parking. Good food if you can pick up but very inflexible otherwise. Also only take cash payments.

Sadly very disappointed, obviously reheated and all over cooked and dry. Terrible food for the amount that we paid. We have avoided this place for some time due to this and gave it another chance tonight. Still the same, so won’t be trying again in the future. Also oddly, STILL only taking cash with a new excuse.
