Table was ready at the time booked and on arrival shown directly there and drinks orders were taken. Menu was easy to read and well laid out. Food arrived promptly and plenty of time allowed between courses so we never felt rushed even though the restaurant was busy. Looking forward to another visit in the near future.

First off the food is easily the best Chinese food I ever had. However Chinese isn't my first…read morechoice but I was entertaining a customer (who is also a mate of many years) and he is a big fan of Chinese and the Straw Hat. Its very expensive not much change from £200.00 for two of us. Started with a fillet steak stir fry served on top of a salad Paul had ribs and spring rolls both were excellent. Mains were Red Thai Chicken Curry and Beef with Black Beans couple of Rice and a Duck Curry on the side. It really was very very good. Plenty of bottles of beer and a few large brandies afterwards. The place is on the main Harlow road and is actually a few doors down from David Beckham's house , well a few doors down from the gatehouse at the front of the drive to the Beckham's place !! My only problem with the place and hence the 4 stars is that its very much like eating in a museum. Its very hushed, people seem to talk in whispers which we ended up doing without realising. The staff are great but seem to hover and also speak in hushed tones. Its just to formal for me. However the food is worth feeling like you must put your hand up when you want to visit the loo !!!

The prawn toast has seen a prawn, and the prawn has seen an ocean!…read more A fantastic place for a family meal or celebration - big round tables, lazy susans (the spinning top, not just an incompetent waitress), nice wine, and TASTY, FRESH Chinese food. Highly recommend the mixed hors d'oeuvres. Dishes are generous, service is relaxed and friendly. Duck pancakes are the best I've ever had (and it's a constant mission of mine), veges and meat are fresh, well cooked and rice is sticky as. In hot competition with the duck pancakes is my new favourite, lamb and lettuce. Comes with a gorgeously sticky plum sauce. If you are celebrating a birthday let them know and you will be in for a glorious treat. Cliff Richard singing "Congratulations" (yes, that version!) at 100 decibels, with the lights off, coloured lasers tripping around the room and then a big serve of toffee apples and bananas smothered in vanilla ice-cream -- woop!

Their crispy chilli beef is awesome, the portions are good, I don't think I've ever had a bad dish from Oriental Star. We're in the area quite regaularly and use this takeaway loads. We don't get Chinese back at home (deepest darkest Essex) because all the local ones to us never match up to the Oriental Star... If you're looking for a good Chinese - then look no further.

Went to their Chinese New Year evening last year and had a sumptuous banquet of the most superb…read morechinese cuisine my wife and I have ever tasted. The already festive atmosphere was heightened by the arrival of the Dragon Dancers, who put on a most entertaining and fun display. The staff are always most attentive without being "in your face" and I can only recommend visiting this restaurant to see for yourself. Oh and to top it all off, a great wine list! We have been back many times since, and ordered a few takeaways as well.

This might be the best Chinese restaurant in London.Tasty、 authentic and inviting. Dishes are…read moredelicious. Prices are reasonable. I can eat Chinese Kabab here, it's amazing !! These're much better than the restaurant in China town, and even much better than some others in China!! Highly highly recommended!!! 强烈推荐，可能没在中国城所以很少人来评价？ 但是真是好吃的不得了，简直比中国城的好吃太多有没有！！ 在这里还能吃到自己家蒸的馒头，比在北京吃到的还好吃！！价格也特别合理，如果付现金没有服务费，价格更棒。而且！！重点！！有好吃的烤串！烧烤！！ 2015年第一次来，吃到羊肉串的时候都惊了，比在北京的好吃太多，完全不像其它餐厅在英国就糊弄糊弄。然后16年来英国还去吃的。17年来了又去吃了不止一次，味道还是那么地道！！关于China Town的很多餐厅，感觉就是能坑就坑，也就是中国游客去，吃一次也没第二次了，反正游客多。"吉祥三宝"没有开在中国城，完全是靠味道吸引人。强烈推荐！！！

I would not notice this restaurant or given it a try, if my friends had not recommended it. Schezuan kitchen is truly an authentic restaurant, and you really need to appreciate spice to truly enjoy your food here. The food can be hot, but not ever whelming. I tried the emperors chicken, and the special fish dish, and it really brought something new to my spice palette, coupled with plain jasmine rice and chinese vegetables, and a bottle of chinese beer, really brought this meal home. Like the motherland home. It is not expensive, in fact quite value for money, and it is definitely a no nonsense restaurant, it is the food that matters. I would come here again for some whole hearty authentic chinese food.

Once every one has finished eating at about 10 o'clock this place turns into a club, it has a dance floor lots of space a great cocktail menu and choice of beverage . It's a fantastic night out or it can be a good day out since it is situated on a golf course. I've played here several times but never been in there at lunch time I'm afraid , I here they do a great buffet lunch . I would recommend this place to anyone.
