There are only two choices for a sit down Chinese meal in Burnley and the Regent Cantonese beats…read moreits competition hands down! It's not the easiest of places to find, being tucked away on a quiet street in a downstairs location but it's worth persevering as the excellent food makes a trip to the Regent well worth it. The menu is extensive and the service is excellent. I've eaten there on numerous occasions and can't fault the food. I also love the fact that you never feel rushed and you can happily spend a whole evening there without feeling pressurized to clear your table for other customers. Perhaps the only downside is the price with meals being a little on the expensive side but you get what you pay for and the delicious selection of Cantonese dishes mean the Regent is well worth the expense.

Went here last Friday night with my friend, and we were VERY pleasantly suprised!!…read moreHidden away but well well worth a visit, fantastic food, i had the crispy shredded beef, and my friend had the cantonese style King prawns, oh and the Red Lantern Fish you have GOT to try!!!! Very friendly hosts, and the finishing touch was a singer that they had on, Micheal Buble-type music!! Brilliant night and will definately go again!!! Cheers

The food is ok, you can have as many starters as you want before having your main. To be honest…read moreit's only just ok the starters are not hot enough. My prawn toast and seaweed very greasy. The main meal I could not eat very unpleasant no flavour. The young lady who served us was fabulous nothing too much the restaurant saving grace. The drinks are very expensive I wanted a coke when I enquired if it was genuine coke I was informed it's a cheap supermarket coke. At 3.35 for a pint when the 2 litre bottle cost 65p umm. I then said did they do a can of proper coke hurry yes. But they wanted 3.35 for a can ok coke and when j pointed out a can is 250ml a half a pint I was told it's the managers pricing. So make your own minds up I will not return.

This is a very decent Chinese restaurant-- especially in the middle of the countryside. I would say…read moreit's the best I've found thus far (but still a bit far off from my favorite Chinatown haunts in Los Angeles and New York-- perhaps because it's Cantonese as opposed to what I'm used to). The restaurant is very well presented and the staff friendly. And it is a relief to see a Chinese restaurant owned, operated and staffed by Chinese people. But i still do often wish I could have some of what they're eating as opposed to what they're serving their guests... Have the salt and pepper squid for an appetizer (although I'd eat it as an entree!)-- light, flaky and well-seasoned.

Excellent food always delivered hot salt n chilli prawns are the best I've ever had very good…read morequality not cheap but you get what you pay for. But highly recommended

We placed an order over the telephone with Burnley Oriental for three meals. The total cost was…read morearound £15 with free delivery which would have been reasonable if the food supplied had been of a higher standard. The food arrived ahead of the delivery estimate that was given, it was hot enough so no complaints there. The delivery driver however was quite surly and impatient when we went to the door. The food itself was disappointing, the Crispy Chicken in Lemon Sauce was far too tough and the chips that the dish came with were as my father-in-law exclaimed like the chips in the canteen at work which isn't really saying much! The Chicken in Satay Sauce was bland, chopped up into tiny bits and the rice was all sticky, clumped together and stodgy. All in all reasonable service but disappointing food, just about edible but not up to the standards of a proper Chinese takeaway, more of the type of food from a takeaway that does everything. Would not order from again..

Great place to get a Chinese, I myself have never got an order wrong but they could use Somone who…read morecould take orders on the phone to be more understanding as they don't understand always what you are saying and what they are saying. Food is always great and always hot when delivered or go in for collection .
