"I have used oriental 3 times and they have always given a good service and eating is of good quality and reasonable price. I feel that some reviewers like to moan without justification. I mean, why should they continue to use a place when they say they always get the order wrong? I would definitely recommend!"

"Ordered the crispy chicken chow mein (tasteless, no flavour at all), satay chicken skewers (sauce was mostly oil, didn’t taste like peanuts at all, chicken was dry and chewy), special curry (nothing special about it, didn’t taste like curry, more floury than curry. Chicken was dry. Pork was chewy and tasteless. Had to add own seasonings to make it palatable), prawn toast and spring rolls were average. Overall an extremely disappointing experience from a usually great place, gone very downhill."

"The food was of high quality and tasty, but I like my food to be hot in temperature and unfortunately the food wasn't particularly hot. What pleased me very much was that the restaurant had mistakenly made a big overcharge on my bill that I was not aware of and then rang me to return so that they could refund me the difference. Very much appreciate their honesty and have been telling people about it."

"I have visited Easto three times now and each time I have had a fantastic meal. The food is tasty and the portions are very generous. Just when you think you have finished a course, another delicious dish is brought out. I highly recommend this restaurant."

"After I had passed the siam cottage for many years a day, but set on our way with another near-by-paurier, I decided one day to review their reviews online. there were a couple who had lived in Thailand for many years, but now live. in perth. they said they often make the 4 hours round trip to eat here, as there are “the most authentic Thai aromes they have tasted with Thai” (or words to this effect). with a selection of Thai Chinese dresses it offers for the whole family. I was always a chicken panang or pad thai type, with my partner more in lemon chicken or similar Chinese dishes. in the course of the years we have worked quite a lot on our wise, although the takeaway menu, various dishes that we otherwise do not have. since every court we have tried was excellent, it is encouraged to take a leap of faith try something new every time. our personal favorite is just now the chicken cashew thai style...a taste sensation! The chicken panang is on the same with everything I tasted in Thailand. the service is always excellent, delivery fast we have a smile a chat at the door hit when it comes. price is also very reasonable in consideration of the portion size, for restaurant quality eat directly to their door, it will not be much better than siam cottage. when collecting an order a night from the restaurant, I noticed that the dishes were delivered to tables, looked out raised, very well presented huge portions. the personal was also very attentively friendly. although in the decor in restaurant, we do not tend to visit restaurants for their facility anyway. we visit eating that customer service is confident that a visit would exceed our expectations. we have not sampled many starters/deserts from the Takeaway menu, so can not comment so much on them. we got starters as soon as they were beautiful, but with the portion size they get on their net pages....3 net, a part rice a part bohnenprout nudeln is a fixed for a family of 4 (two adult, two children). we look forward to our next taste feeling. keep them good work."

"Even though the food was good, this was a very disappointing experience. We had a reservation for 4 people on a Monday night at 7:15. In the larger of two dining areas, some of the tables were configured for 2 larger groups one of 8/10 and the other 10/12 people. So when these groups arrived, the noise level made conversation at our small table for 4 impossible! The service was also very slow, and inattentive. We were so disappointed that we decided not to stay for any dessert or coffee. Since our dining companions were friends we hadn't seen in a while, we were all looking forward to a nice, leisurely meal. But because of the noise and poor service, we hastened away."

"I've been here a few times. Food is always good. It isn't super-cheap, but it's certainly not extortionate either and portions are generous. Good for a nice meal out, and a bit different from Oxford's usual eateries. It's an interesting building too, which makes for an interesting ambiance. However, this particular meal was slightly hampered in that respect by a large (very noisy) table next to us on their Christmas do. I'm sure it was a one-off, but the restaurant might want to think about how to accommodate parties like that in future, without detracting from other people's experience. I'd still go back though."

"Food was good and arrived in good time, service was efficient. However the menu does not specify which dishes contain nuts and therefore the main dish arrived with peanuts on it which I could not eat due to an allergy, I would suggest updating the menu or checking for allergies in advance (this is something that is normally integrated into most restaurants operations now so I didn't think to check lesson learned! . To their credit the cost of the dish was removed from the bill so it was resolved well."

"after 45 minutes still had not received food or drink (coke nothing fancy) whilst all tables around had received food and drink even though we ordered way before them. Had to get up and remind the waiter of our existence. We then got our drinks and 1 item of food .. they then bring us the wrong meal and claim they had a technical issue and had to retake our order after 1 hour. We order our dessert as well so they have time to get this sorted. Whilst waiting for our food still they decide to bring us 1 dessert which we send back. They then tell us our order which I placed over an hour ago is actually out of stock. I say can we just have dessert so we can leave. They come back and say the dessert is out of stock. Terrible experience. The two starters we had where nice. They had to nerve to come over and ask how our meal was whilst we ate chicken wings. Left hungry !"

"The place has a more casual feeling that is something more authentic in view of the kitchen. Sushi very good, can enjoy 24pcs for £30, which is definitely worth it when you enjoy sushi. Sashimi really delicious. However, the most important meals felt like we had bought them in a belly Chinese farewell and served on a plate. Despite ordering various dishes, all sauces lubricated the same, similar sweet and sticky sauces. Taking into account the cost of £9-10 per plate. The waitress was also a little annoying because she would wait until we asked for a court before she told us they didn't. Not a deal breaker, but if you are missing dishes, it should be marked or listed on the menu before you start to decide what you want. Service was pretty fast, and the ambience is pretty cool. Would recommend for a casual informal meal and would avoid buying hot food as a whole."

"This is a very good Chinese restaurant in the custom house area. Their fried rice and the dishes i had are really good. I don’t remember their names but amazing food. Another good thing is from the restaurant you can see the city airport. Flights keep coming in. :p Also, if you are a vegetarian and you are not very comfortable with non indian cuisines, you may still try this place. (One of my veg friend’s comment)"

"When you arrive outside it’s not obvious you are arriving at a restaurant, it’s such a vast building. You step inside and there is a massive staircase! There is a lift! No reception at street level so you are a little unsure as a result of that there is a restaurant there!. But we ventured upstairs to see what was there and saw a big sign for the restaurant. Saw 2 sets of double doors. Went in, lots of diners, but nobody to actually greet us. Stood there about 30 seconds before we just walked in to the room more and THEN someone made contact. Probably need to work on their meet n greet procedures. Anyway. Great table overlooking the water with far reaching views to the city. I had requested a round table which was near the window and they had it exactly as I requested. Service was good, and our waitress was smiley. Went for set menu. We had someone in our party with a moderate nut allergy. There menu clearly asks you if you have allergies and to let them know. Which we did. She advised they not eat the aromatic duck as nuts are involved in the cooking but in our food selection that was the only item. The food was great. There were 6 of us but we ordered set menu for 5 people and it was enough food with very little left over. They should really improve the entrance with some signage and have a better reception desk as you walk in to the place but that’s my only real suggestion for improvement. Food is not radically amazing but it’s good Chinese, served hot, tasted good. Nobody voiced any issue with food, we had a great laugh too, felt relaxed and service was not overly intrusive. We had 3 bottles of wine, which is sensibly priced. Total bill including wine and starter platter as part of the set menu was £40 each including service charge, which we all thought was good value. Just needs more kerb appeal and I think it would improve the place a lot. But would go again for sure."

"It's been a long time since my last visit to this restaurant. The first time I went, I was a bit hesitant about the cash-only policy and while the food was good, I felt that something was lacking. However, I ordered takeout from there two weeks ago and the food was fantastic! The portion size was generous and the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be ordering from them again."

"We ordered the hot pot for three people and received a large pot of soup filled with meat, seafood, vegetables, and rice. It was incredible! None of us had ever tried hot pot before, and it was our first time experiencing Chinese cuisine as a family. We ended up loving it. I'm already thinking about celebrating my birthday with my family at this restaurant in December."

"The Skylark is situated in a great location for a meal before a night out in Croydon. However, the atmosphere is not exactly upscale; I would even say it is family-friendly. Parking can be a bit tricky to find, so walking or taking the bus is a good option for locals. The food options often include a free beer, which is a nice touch. Many people rave about the fish and chips, but I haven't tried it yet as it seems quite heavy. I am, however, a big fan of the decent BBQ hot dog."

"After attending ABBA Mania at Venue Cymru, we decided to book a table at this restaurant. They kindly stayed open for us, and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent, and the food was the best we have had in a Chinese restaurant. It was fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The prices were very affordable compared to our usual dining spots. Our meal, including 2 starters, 2 mains, fried rice, and a bottle of wine, cost only £61. We highly recommend giving this place a try! We give it 5 stars for the service and quality."
"Was looking at the menu when a couple came out saying how lovely it was, so decided to try for first time. We had the 3 course lunch each £14.90 had Perkins style spare ribs. 2 chicken and beef slices in house curry fried rice with a side of chips. 4 spring rolls. The spring rolls i would say was the best thing I eat. Curry was watery bland no taste of curry chips were bland i would give it a 4 out of 10. The staff were really friendly very busy. I would not be going back in a hurry."

"Great experience through and through! The staff are so bright and friendly and make us want to come back again and again! The food is out of this world and just melts in your mouth with every bite. I could finish the plate and still want more. Absolute cudos to the chef for always knocking it out of the park! Can’t wait to go back!"

"I was really blessed to visit her again in this trip because this was one of my favorite places when I was in cambridge uni. Not only large fresh seafood and Szechuan/Sichuan cuisine, they also offer £22 ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT hotpot with a lot of meat and vegetables! they can cook up to 2 soup bases from hot spicy let me share some of my favorites that I recommend to them, not miss: bark meat: awesome quality, not chewing, but tender juicy -fish fillet: omg super good delicious, ideal for any suppen recording -fish tofu: already one of my favorite foods, and it is great here - kelp: crispy fresh, love this! MUST-TRY: -chilli crab -steamed scallop both are so fresh that they can tell about their texture. some parts of the crumb are pre-reduced, so it is easier to remove the shell. the main part in the middle is my favorite. it is super easy to remove, with just chiffre and super delicious. scallops are really nice and easy to eat. they are perfectly cooked and seasoned, whether they love spicy or not. they have the opportunity to cook them fresh with hotpot, but I especially recommend ordering them cooked because their spice is super nice. Finally, there are many Asian drinks to order. I have aloe vera and pflaumenteee, the extremely sensitive are!"
