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.

We found another one, online, and decided to give it a try. We ordered our usual dishes and wondered if The China Village would come up to our usual expectations. Delivery was good as it arrived within 5 minutes of our requested time. The delivery driver followed guidelines by leaving the bag on the doorstep, rang the bell and stepped back. Re-assuring for us in the vulnerable category. OK, down to the food. As I said we ordered the same as usual so a comparison with our usual 4 star service would be reasonable. Chicken satay, very watery sauce with very little peanut flavour but chicken tasty. Rice and noodles don't vary from place to place. Chicken balls were a real PLUS. Not balls but strips in a very light batter. Delicious. Sweet and sour sauce, once again, the same anywhere. Chicken chop suey, great with wonderful well cooked, white chicken pieces. Deep fried chilli beef, once again delicious. Szechuan chilli beef, a little disappointing. Sauce very liquid and certainly not very chilli. However, the whole meal was enjoyable. Food price was similar to our other outlet but this was increased by the delivery charge. Even though the restaurant is closer they charge whereas our other outlet does not charge for deliveries within 3 miles and over £15 order. So a slight down on that one. Free prawn crackers, a plus. Also, two fortune cookies, a nice touch. Taking everything into account I would say The China Village is about half a star lower than our usual restaurant but......I'll stick with 4 stars.
