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!

We get take away from there all the time, and quite honestly it really provides some of the best…read moreChinese food I've ever had. 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.

Our first ever time trying Peking house. We always use Happy house takeaway but just wanted…read moresomething a little better tonight. Unfortunately we didn't get it! Thought you couldn't go wrong with a restaurant takeaway. Happy house is far superior to Peking house. We only ordered 4 things. Which came to just under £30. It was 20 minutes late. Veg spring rolls, which were hard at the ends, didn't get many, very thin. Pork spare ribs, very fatty, was meant to be in BBQ sauce, it was red, thin, transparent, didn't taste like BBQ! Fillet steak pieces in teriyaki sauce, the steak was chewy, not very much of it. Teriyaki far far too much salt. Then the chicken balls, which in all out opinion were not half as nice as 'happy house!' Then the sweet and sour sauce was so thin and could see the bottom so quite transparent. NEVER AGAIN!! Waste of money. Poor quality food at top prices.
