Several restaurants have occupied this site The current owners have decorated the place well and installed some lovely ornaments. They've mixed some nice old style self-contained waterfall units together with high tech fixtures like the AirBlade hand-dryers in the toilets. I was a guest at a pharmaceutical rep's dinner tonight and we were very looked after. The staff never stopped enquiring after us and refilling glasses and pots of tea. The food was very light and not greasy as Chinese food can sometimes be. The plate of mixed starters contained smoked bang bang chicken, sesame prawn toast, fried wontons, spare ribs and deep fried seaweed The middle course of aromatic crispy duck went down well. For main course, we had steamed sea bass, deep fried shredded beef, chicken with mixed vegetable and beef in black bean sauce, all accompanied by egg fried rice and plain fried noodles The restaurant gave us complementary teffee banana and apple with ice cream for dessert Overall a solid Anglo-Canto dining experience

My usual Friday pre-salsa food hunt led me to Royal China this week. From the outside, the decor…read morelooks slightly haphazard with different themes in different parts of the dining area. However, the warm welcome of the staff lifted all doubt the moment we walked in The menu is largely Chinese with a Thai section in the back. This is a growing trend I've noticed in Chinese restaurants recently The starter of deep fried soft shell crab was nice and crispy with sweet crabmeat but the coating was a little salty I enjoyed the roast duck in plum sauce, being used to the slightly fatty duck. The sizzling mixed seafood in black bean sauce had generous portions of large prawns, scallops, mussels and squid. The pad thai noodles were OK but not as good as in standalone Thai restaurants An enjoyable meal with good service

Great chinese food but always workout and query the price of your order…read more We are long term customers of master chef and really enjoy their food however the past few weeks we have been overcharge by £2 for delivery every week. When you query it with them they say that the manager has automatically added extra charges to everyone for delivery. I even asked for an updated menu last week with the correct delivery charges however they still try to overcharge. I find this ridiculous that they charge for delivery anyway when your paying more than £25 but it is stupid that they try and argue with you when they have fiddled the price. In future always make sure to query the price, I know it sounds petty over such a small amount but it is the principle of it!!

My husband and I were trying to find Tasty China after visiting trip advisor but alas the…read morerestaurant was no where to be found! However at the location was Mandarin Restaurant and I decided to give it ago because I really craved Chinese food. What an amazing restaurant! We ended up ordering from the dinner menu and our food came out quick and portions were generous! What really impressed us was the personable service that we got from all the staff who came to check on us and also took a few moments to ask if we needed a food break in between courses. If you happen to be in the Cheam area, I highly recommend Mandarin as they offer delicious food and spectacular service.

Well dim sum is a significant culture for Chinese as a gathering family meal on Sunday (just like a Sunday roast for brits). I didn't bother to go in as it's just not going to be authentic!

Have you ever been for a posh Chinese? The two words aren't usually synonymous - unfortunately,…read moregoing for a Chinese now involves a trip down a shop that resembles a kebab shop, only with noodles instead. The Good Earth is an old school restaurant - beautifully designed inside, with plenty of large round tables, and my favourite, those round turning slabs on top of the tables which means that that I, err, I mean everyone, can try some of each others dishes. There is a bar to one side where dressed up ladies and gentlemen of Esher discuss property prices and where they are skiing this year (I presume). Inside the main restaurant, I would advise ordering as much as you could possibly fit. The portions are are good size, but the food is considerably more expensive then in your average Chinese, but the price difference is worth it. You will recognise a lot of the dishes, it's just they are done with more flavour and spice than other places (but with no MSG). Look out for plenty of fish dishes that you wouldn't normally find, such as sea bass, Dover sole and monkfish. I wouldn't go out of your way to make room for dessert, as with most Chinese restaurants, the puddings are not a high point. Perhaps have another drink at the bar to finish your meal. Have one for me!

Caveat: This review is for the 'South East Asian' not the Chinese food that is on the plate at La…read moreOrient. I have to return to give that a go to update this review at some point. Being from Singapore, I miss my rendang, mee goreng, laksas and what not. When I first found out La Orient touted South East Asian food, all I could think of is - How could that be good?! I mean, my last review about Banana Tree was begrudgingly vitriolic enough. Let alone a place out in the sticks. Well, I then said to myself, there's no way this could be bad, I mean, how could they still operate when loads of folks now travel to South East Asia on a regular basis. Boy was I wrong. Service here redeems itself from a 1* review. The 'Malaysian' food however, is just not up to scratch at all. It invites me to gently (but oh so only gently) nudge Banana Tree to open up a place in Surrey (Gosh I feel dirty for even saying that). Anyway, we order the Kway Pie Tie as a starter, rendang, mee goreng, and sambal prawns for mains. The first somewhat encouraging sign is that they have plate warmers. Asians love their food piping hot, so I am all about that. However, when the kway pie tie comes, I'm immediately disappointed. It's lukewarm inside (probably from being frozen and reheated) and there's a gargantuan faux crabstick on one of them. Clearly this is not going to end well. My dining partner tries to convince me that I should withhold judgment until the rest of the food comes. I do. And then very quickly I don't. This IS NOT Malaysian food folks. I should have just gone for the regular Chinese menu. The Mee Goreng is a sorry substitute, egg noodles with no spice, and just beef and tomatoes. I mean, that's what it says, but someone must have not taught the chef what it really tastes like. The rendang looked more like a curry - Too much coconut, not enough depth of flavor coming from different types of spices. The only somewhat redeeming dish was the sambal prawns. But very very diluted in flavor, as if they weren't prepared to lather on the stinkiness of belachan or that they were afraid to overwhelm the genteel Surrey palate. Wasted calories this evening, now I really just wanna go for a run to totally have no remnants left of last night's dinner. Next time, I do wanna see if this place redeems itself with the Chinese food that doesn't purport to be South East Asian.
