"This restaurant offers the best Chinese cuisine in Guildford. My group came for a birthday dinner on Sunday and enjoyed the buffet, which costs £22 for adults and £12 for children. They even gave us a souvenir photo of our group as a gift, which was a nice touch. The buffet concept allows customers to reorder food and have it made fresh and delivered to their table, rather than sitting out under heat lamps for hours like at standard buffets. Customers should be mindful not to overorder as food waste is taken into account. The quality of the food is consistently excellent and the service is quite fast, but it's recommended to book in advance. While it may not be the cheapest option, customers definitely get what they pay for here."

"Removing my review from 2 yrs back because this place has gone downhill since and doesn't deserve my positive feedback no more. Firstly the guy at the front (he's new coz the previous lad was a gentleman) is awful and a bully. He has no scooby on decency in speaking to customers and offering a decent service. My account was on credit because l paid twice on one order.. Why coz your basket is never emptied from your previous order and if you don't remove it you end up paying twice. Came back to claim my credit and the same lady who advised me against getting my money back claims l had already used my credit! So l guess l made it up. You have no right to treat customers the way you treated me when l came to request for my credit of which l have proof of payment and you never showed me any proof of me claiming it. This used to be my favourite place but never going back and you can keep that money for all l care."

"I was so excited to find a Chinese restaurant with a gluten free menu, so booked a table before a show at The Hippodrome. What a disappointment there was a good choice of gluten free items, but everything we ordered, both g f and not, was lukewarm. Crispy duck was dry and had obviously been sitting under a lamp for a while it wasn’t shredded at the table which is what happens at our favourite restaurants in Liverpool. Spring rolls were served on a few bits of shredded limp cabbage and carrot, no dipping sauce provided we had to ask for some and they were horrible. Gluten free chicken in honey lemon sauce was overcooked, sauce was cloying and synthetic tasting, even the rice was overcooked and lukewarm. We left a fair bit. We weren’t asked at any point if the food was ok we didn’t say anything as we had to get to the show if we’d had more time I would have sent it back. A 10% service charge was automatically added to the already expensive bill, for grumpy inattentive service. If you don’t need gluten free food, there are numerous other places nearby, many of which would undoubtedly be better than this place. If you are Coeliac, find somewhere else, or pack a picnic. Won’t be back, needless to say."

"I booked this venue for my birthday I had a few people coming so unfortunately we had to choose from a £30 per head set menue. The choices were limited not a good start. It took almost an hour to order drinks and get them served.. The service was sloopy and took ages to get served. The starters was a mixed antipasti it wasn't all that served with bread you could build a house on. For mains I got the sea bass it was disappointing as the fish was thin and not much of it my table also got the lemon herb chicken that also had no taest to it at all and the portion sizes were of a child's dish. Desert the chocolate cake was nice and for the other who ordered the sorbet ice cream got 1 very small scoop yet again of a child portion if not less. I was embarrassed that I booked here and would not be in any rush to come back. What I my party got food wise was worth £15/20 per head nothing more."

"Our visit was for a birthday meal. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was good. We chose quite spicy dishes. The food was not piled high (thank goodness) but in reasonable sized portions. We like to leave a restaurant wanting more not uncomfortably full or with a bag full of leftovers and that's exactly how it was. Will definitely book again."

"Several of our friends had recommended this restaurant, so we made a reservation for 6:30 on a Thursday evening. Upon being seated, it was evident that the restaurant's primary focus is its takeaway business. We started off with crispy duck pancakes and spare ribs, followed by crispy beef, sizzling prawns, Szechuan chicken, Singapore noodles, and steamed rice. Unfortunately, the crispy beef arrived cold and even after being sent back to the kitchen, it returned just as cold. The Szechuan chicken was lukewarm and the Singapore noodles were tepid with limp baby sweetcorn. Despite the sizzling prawns living up to their name, the overall dining experience was disappointing. I do not plan on returning or ordering from here again in the near future. While the service was friendly and efficient, the food and atmosphere left much to be desired. Dining in a restaurant that mainly caters to takeout orders is not ideal."

"Great, in fact fantastic food. The restaurant had a very casual and relaxing feel to it, which I liked. The decor is a bit cheesy but that's the nature of the beast. Apart from us there were over 20 other patrons, all Chinese. Obviously you feel reassured of food quality if actual Chinese people are frequenting the restaurant and having a good time. If I had to picky, I'd say the main waiter, with the ear ring!, needs to cheer up a little. At least look like you enjoy the job mate...."

"I had eaten here a few times before and the food was good, however last time, I had to chase our orders and the manager came over and started shouting at me and insisted I told him whether he should sack his chef. Really unprofessional. However, last night, I thought we would go back. We arrived and were shown to a table. We ordered drinks and the same manager came over and said Im not sure when you will get your food! We asked what he meant. He said (in a very obnoxious and confrontational tone) We are very busy, what do you want me to do? Go and kick the chef? He started shouting and I simply asked if he could give me a rough idea of how long food would be. He got more angry and was shouting to the point where other diners were looking over. I tried to reason with him and said that we would wait but if he could ask the chef just to give us an idea, that would be great. His tone got even louder and he snatched our menus back from us. He said You better leave and then started on me, bringing up how I complained last time which was over 6 months ago. We were embarrased, astounded and felt so awkward. He ushered us out of the restaurant with everybody watching. We then went to Paprika Club and explained we were in a huge rush. Whilst I am a regular there, the restaurant was packed and they ensured we had a wonderful meal within 20 minutes. Been, you are an awful place and your manager is a joke. We will never return and I would urge others to steer WELL CLEAR!"

"Poor service and rude manager. I dined at Taste of China this evening along with two friends. I ordered a glass of white wine which tasted very bad. I had 3 sips and couldn't bare the taste. I therefore opted for water. Upon receiving the bill, I informed the male manager that the wine tasted very bad (although it was actually toxic and tasted worse than bleach I was trying to be polite) and that was the reason I hadn't drunk the wine. He said that there was nothing wrong with the wine and the issue was with my personal taste. He did not offer to remove the cost of the wine from the bill. After receiving this treatment, we informed the manager that we were not willing to pay any service...read more"

"I’ve never been so disappointed at a restaurant, and I won’t be returning. We were one of only three tables on a Saturday night, and it was easy to see why. The idea of all-you-can-eat for a set price sounded appealing, but the execution was lacking. We ordered six starters, and the ribs were tough while the spring rolls were underwhelming. When the main course arrived, one of my friends struggled to eat his dish. My chicken with spring onions and ginger was overwhelming, leaving me sweating all night and worried about feeling ill. If I had paid for this meal, I would have expressed my dissatisfaction directly to the owners, but our friends who handled the bill were just too nice."

"If you really knew what happens in this place you wouldn't wish to eat there. If your a veggie watch out the kitchen use boiled chicken water even in egg fried rice or veggie curry. The rice that get served if not used goes back into the streamer to be re served to another customer. It's as fresh as coming out freezers and packets look as you go to the small smelling toilets there a freezer on right just open it up The list goes on including there back area where staff toilet is has meat left out in open. Fridge is not stacked to how government hygiene says it should be. The owner not owners if you look it up does not care and finds it funny if someone wishes to make a comment. Service is slow and just about par but not for price you pay. Hot pot is hot s**t all from packets and been defrosted more then a couple of times for some parts of it. Yes hygiene inspector is being called and photo's will be on way."

"I was staying overnight in London for work. I travelled to Swiss Cottage specifically to try this restaurant. They do not take on line bookings and having not phoned ahead I was concerned to arrive at the restaurant and find it looking very busy on a cold Thursday evening. I asked for a table for one and a table was found phew! The food was great. Quite expensive, but this is London. Basically a Chinese menu with some Malaysian dishes. So I had a quarter of crispy duck which was cooked really well and came with a generous supply of pancakes. I followed this with delicious beef rending and rice. Sometimes this sort of food can swim in MSG, but not here. Service was efficient, friendly and helpful (I liked the fact that nearly all staff wore masks). I really enjoyed this meal, although it was far from cheap."

"I have used Oriental 3 times now and they have always given good service and the food is of good quality and reasonably priced. I do feel some reviewers just like to moan without justification. I mean why would you continue to use a place if you state that they always get the order wrong? I would definitely recommend !!"

"Very relaxing experience, cute decor and a pleasant atmosphere. One thing you will notice is the hot plate in the centre of the table, which is very handy but don't touch it. :D First thing I noticed on the table were the Chopsticks. They were made from high quality bambo, very unusual design. Food portion is more than enough for an individual. The taste is lovely and rich, with friendly service. So what are you waiting for? Go check them out!"
