The best Chinese food in London and Essex! My family has been living on the street and enjoying meals from here since the 90s. I was dismayed when they weren't open again after being closed, as I thought they were doing well! The ingredients are fresh and well-seasoned; even a bag of chips tastes amazing! I live in Harlow (where the takeaways are terrible), and I’d much rather travel to Hackney to eat from here than... View all feedback.
What Richard Steele dislikes about Oriental:
Based on delivery this place gets a 1*.... cor blimey getting through to these people on the line you might aswell quit before you start its impossible. Foods good its evident from the fact they're so busy but they need to update phone lines with some of that , its been like this for far too long. Marketing tool maybe? Can't get through for dust View all feedback.

After multiple trips to China and even living there, I can confidently say that nothing I ate in China was as delicious as the food at this restaurant. It is the best Chinese food I have ever had. My partner and I love it so much that we even got the address tattooed on ourselves. My partner has been coming here since he was a baby, and his grandmother has lived across the road for over 30 years. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
The food is outstanding,I honestly recommend to everyone.
Nice but it is almost always either open or closed, at weird times.
I often can’t find a delicious delivery restaurant nearby that I can order from in a row. But the food here is surprisingly delicious One drawback is that the rice is packed in a box before it is cooked, and the onions are a bit hard, otherwise their meat and vegetables are well fried. Please pay attention to the restaurant and improve it.
Best Chinese takeaway in Hackney. Very tasty and you get your money's worth.

Oh my gosh, this is the best Chinese takeaway in London! The food is absolutely delicious. They really serve generous portions, and many of the dishes are beautifully presented. Bravo, Oriental!

I live in Harlow (where the takeaways are terrible), and I’d much rather travel to Hackney to eat from here than order from somewhere local. The food is top-notch, the portion sizes are generous, customer service is excellent, and the prices are just right!
Eating is nice. not the sweet and acidic hong kong style although- nuggets in sauce - no veg. anything I've tried yet was nice. no point when you call because you don't get through. always!
The man at the counter was very friendly and made great recommendations. I really enjoyed the sweet and tangy chicken noodles. The prices were good too!
