A café that offers good Chinese food and is popular with locals, always packed during peak lunch and dinner hours, which is no surprise at all because of the cheap and good Chinese food they offer! The menu is not extensive, but have a good number of different types of options like appetizers, rice, dumplings, buns, dessert etc. that is great for a quick snack, tea time and proper meal. Although they have a limited number of vegan options, I frequent here when I am in the area because it is one of my favourite spots for dumplings!

The food all seem to be fresh and made from scratch, my mum was particularly impressed with the Roasted Pork (Char Siu) as well which was well made. It does seem that there is a lot of care and love in their food. Portions are decent too especially at their price point. The staff is efficient, friendly and attentive, very impressive especially in the tight space during peak hours.

I definitely recommend Oriental Café to anyone for cheap and good Chinese food with...

Awful experience. I just wanted to have some quick dinner there. 1. Non of their waitress said even one ‘please, thank you or enjoy it’ to me. They were actually saying nothing to me. They were only talking to each other in their language. I felt disrespectful. 2. There was a fly in my food that I find right after it been served. I asked if I can have a new one, they were still not saying anything. There were some flies in side the restaurant as well. Very unhygienic. 3. This restaurant supposed to close at 9pm, but they were start cleaning up at 8.50pm while I was still having my food. They made the whole restaurant loud and dusty. 4. A waitress came to me and asked if I can pay first during my dinner, she said because they were closing soon. But I need to go to the nearest superdrug to withdraw cash first. 5. After dinner, I went out to my bike, but I find that one of their waitress was standing by my bike, talking on the phone, and she put her tea in the basket of my bike. That’s just makes me felt even worse about...

It was our first time going so we weren't quite sure what to have. The staff were really friendly and helpful, they let us pick three kinds of dumplings and we just paid for the most expensive ones. You get 12-15 depending on which ones you choose for a reasonable price (between £6-£8). We both shared the dumplings and had a noodle soup each which came with pak choi, your soup option and (you can see how many) noodles.

The dumplings were nice, flavoursome. Tbh the only reason this review​ wasn't a five was because my tap water glass had stains on it and it just made me a little uneasy, however, the food was excellent, 100% recommend if you like Oriental food, really good value for money, drinks were probably a little expensive but forgivable due to quantity and quality of food.

The meal with the pic plus two drinks (one each, not the tap water) came up to £25 and this was a...
