"A first visit to this establishment even though we have driven passed it many times and always said we need to give this a try. it was a Saturday, early evening and there was a good mix of clientele which made for a pleasant atmosphere. The staff were very friendly but didn 't seem to know which was our table even though it had been pre booked and how many of us would be there! The Rose Orchard serves Chinese food and traditional ales and spirits, it has a bar area with TV and a good size restaurant/seating area. As well as serving 'eat in ' they were also doing a good trade on the take away element of their business. The food arrived nice and hot and reasonably quickly however by the time it did arrive the plates were nearly cold. Unfortunately they didn 't utilise any form of heating to keep the food nice and hot so sadly by the time we got around to 'topping up ' what was on our plates the food on the dishes was cold! This was a shame because the actual food was very good, nicely seasoned and flavoursome. And plenty of it. The only thing making this a 4* review and not a 5* review was the fact the food was not kept warm. In retrospect we should maybe have asked for a food warmer as we saw one being brought out to a couple that came in and ordered after us. We will certainly revisit. If you decide to visit based on this review please be sure to request a food warmer."

"The Sanbao Chinese Kitchen is quick, flavoursome and cheap – especially at lunchtime. The lunch special is a bargain £6.50, which includes drink (choices include fruit juices and Chinese tea), starter and main course with rice. You pay £7.50 for some of the premium choices. The only problem is, everything pitches up together. While I was delighted to receive my mushroom consommé – good flavour, slightly gloopy – almost immediately after ordering, I was dismayed to be brought my main course barely 20 seconds later. The sweet and sour chicken dish with pineapple was good, with a rich red citrusy sauce and mound of rice, but it was so hard on the heels of the starter that it was difficult to juggle everything. It’s less of problem if you order, say, a spring roll starter, which can be incorporated into the meal. Usually, the mushroom soup is £3.80, the sweet and sour chicken £7.50, the rice £1.50, the tea £1.50… so you get £14.30 worth of food and drink for your £6.50. And it has to be £6.50 as the restaurant is one in a line of eateries fiercely competing for Hammersmith’s lunchtime trade. The lunch choice is excellent, from sea spicy aubergine and pork with rice to mixed seafood with rice. The dishes are all wok-cooked, and you can hear the cooking and kitchen babble. Service is slick and swift – too swift in some cases! But this is superb value, tasty fresh-cooked food and an ideal hot lunch."
