This was our first...and last visit to the Oriental Kitchen in Dyke Road Brighton. It is the worst Chinese takeaway we have tasted yet. The portions compared to other takeaways were on the small side but this didn’t bother us as we thought quality rather than quantity. Sadly this was not the case! The deep fried pancake rolls were okay but extremely greasy...and cold. The king prawns with ginger and spring onions were also cold and tasteless. The prawns clearly just came out of a package, probably bought cheaply from somewhere like Lidl and the spring onion consisted mainly of cheap white onions topped with a few dark green end of a spring onion. Heaven knows what happens to the white end of the spring onions because to date we’ve never seen one in a take away meal yet! On a plus, there was evidence of ginger slithers in the dish which tasted nice. The beef chow mein was the worst we have ever tasted. The portion was half that of other takeaways, the noodles were cooked almost to a pulp and the beef was very tough and chewy. Totally inedible. Even the dog turned his nose up at the portion offered him! The mixed Hors D’oeuvres were very disappointing. The chicken skewers were over cooked and tough, and the satay sauce appeared to get thicker and thicker by the second! Also well over cooked we’re the 4 meagre portions of spare ribs.....the little amount of meat on the generous prices of bones was as tough as old goat and inedible. We thought the crispy won ton was a joke. They appeared to consist of greasy over fried filo party with a smidgen of possible prawn mince inside. The sesame prawns on toast were actually edible but way too greasy for our liking. The sea weed was by far the best part of this particular part of the order....tasted almost as good as my own fried greens. Suffice to say, we will not be rushing to order again from this particular establishment. Sadly the quality of foods served by the majority of Chinese restaurants in the Brighton and Hove area has very much...
Read moreFood from hell Ordered via JUSTEAT from this owe full Chinese takeaway first & last time. Had a called from their RUDEST delivery driver insisting me to go outside from my house & look for him in this rainy weather! When I told him that I can’t go out from my house as it was mentioned on just eat clearly address & direction then he threatened me to leave the food outside & go! So Shocked so I called the restaurant oriental takeaway but sadly the person I was talking to he fully supported the delivery guy & said “ it is JUST EAT policy not to deliver food to the customer door step “? Is it really ? I have been ordering foods from JUST EAT many years & all of the previous drivers came up even 4th floor without lift & received tips from me. While I was talking to the restaurant the delivery guy pressed door buzzer 5/6 times even kept holding the buzzer & I was pressing & pressing & letting him in the building. The driver came up & knock the door letter box as hard as he can when I opened the door he rudely ask “ WHY YOU DID NOT COME DOWN “ “there was no PARKING”? His attitudes did not feel safe so I took the food & shut the door immediately. Honestly it was a bad experience which I felt sick afterwards so I through away most of the food. The other thing on the menu mentioned “Thai Red curry “ but the actual colour was brown . I won’t recommend to anyone this...
Read moreI ordered a good variety of food To begin with the rude driver yelled at us because he couldn’t find the house. Which is the delivery driver from the shop, also the food was all cold, they forgot the chili beef which is one of the main things one of my family wanted as they’re a fussy eater and they forgot it and when i called and said I didn’t want refund I want a them to deliver the missing food, they then proceeded to say no I have to have a refund as they’re not gonna drive all that way to drop it. The egg fried rice doesn’t have egg in its almost taste just like boiled rice. The duck curry that I was exited for was watery and the duck was awful it was fatty chunks and didn’t have any flavour. The chow mein was mid, the chicken balls are tiny and the sauce that comes with it is tiny, the pork charsui was really dry and. Chewy even though it’s drowned in a bitter sauce. Chinese is my fave takeaway for a treat and I don’t genuinely think I’ve ever had a bad experience of the top of my head and I’ve tried a lot of different places and if your counting all the things from the driver to the service to the forgotten food and refusal to drop it. This was beyond bad. First time over ever had to throw food left on my plate rather than saving it as it just wasn’t that good. Could make a better...
