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 chose the special meal option which was £12/£15 per person and included first course of mixed starters- seaweed, prawn toast, satay chicken, chicken wings and spring rolls. 2nd course was aromatic duck pancakes. For the 3rd course you have a whole list of dishes and you can chose up to 5. We have been back a dew times and always leave full. Don't be fooled by the cheaper options though as it all adds up when you add drinks etc...

This restuarant is situated on the second floor, over Woolworths. It is beautiful inside and the…read morefood is wonderful too. They operate an eat all you like menu, which if I remember rightly is about 14 pounds per head. For this, you are allowed to choose a certain amount of dishes, which you can then share with the other diners. if there is one you particularly like, they just bring more if you ask. The food is served to your table rather than being buffet style, which makes it more personal. The service is excellent, and they are very attentive. The only criticism I have is that they used to charge for service each time they brought a drink to the table, which racked up the bill. The bar was literally next to our table on one occasion, but they discouraged us from getting up to go to the bar. However this is a great restaurant, probably the best chinese I have been to in the area.

Hitchin isn't awash with Chinese restaurants but this is the best of them. It's situated on the…read moresecond floor (you access via a flight of stairs) in the Hight street just off the market square. You can dine a la carte if you wish but most opt for the 'all you can eat' option where they literally keep bringing you plate after plate of food until you cry 'no more' and stagger out of the premises groaning. It's a fixed price for this option - £15 from memory - but the food is lovely and it's a really good deal for a night out. Other reviewers have commented on the drink prices and I'd have to agree - if you don't watch it you'll end up spending more than you intend and with lots of salty chinese food on the table it's easy to swill back the booze rather quickly.
