Oriental Inn - East Lothian

I will travel back to Dunbar just for the chicken balls. Service was quick and food was freshly made. Nice clean shop.

I phoned in advance to ask about g/f options and was told two of the sauces with the ribs would be fine. On making the order, they rechecked the allergen chart to discover the ribs themselves were not g/f! (presume pre-prepped in marinade or similar,...sure was g/f when they left the pig However, points gained for diverting a dodgy stomach...I chose the Ch&Swcorn soup instead which was ok and the same as any other I've ever had! To the main Chilli and Garlic Chicken. I say chicken more like

Quite impressed with this Chinese carry-out. Lovely chicken Maryland, good chips. Mixed satay and sweet sour chicken also good. Free prawn crackers were fab. Free spring rolls a bit doughy but not a problem as they were free anyway!

Chips are soggy and under cooked. Blackbean sauce is like water. During the week whoever answers the phone can't speak english then at the weekend whoever is on the phone is rude and puts you on hold,and gets the orders wrong. Also the past few...weeks.. the company have said their chip and pin machine is not working? In this day and age with corona.. Cashless society.. I don't handle cash. Anyway after telling them I don't have cash.. They accept card. Now they are refusing card payments full stop! Why?

While staying in Dunbar we got a takeaway from Oriental Inn. It was early Saturday evening and they were very busy a good sign. They are cash-only so after a quick dash across the road to the McColl's ATM (broken) and then down the...High Street to Bank of Scotland I placed my order with one of the two friendly, efficient ladies and waited outside with six other customers. Ten minutes later and I was handed my bag of goodies to take back to the family. We tucked into a giant bag of prawn crackers, tasty bbq spare ribs, some delicious sweet and sour chicken and a rich roast pork in black bean sauce. My only criticism would be the mini spring rolls for starter that had very little filling so were quite dry, but the tiny tubs of sweet chilli sauce were welcome. Overall a really nice meal with friendly, fast and accurate service. Good value too.
