La Orient

"I've always enjoyed the dishes we receive, but the last few times I've ordered one or more dishes have been substituted or completely missed out. The first couple of times I gave them the benefit of the doubt but when it happened yet again in October - and they have not responded to the email I sent after more than 2 months - I have reluctantly decided to stop using them. They never provide refunds for missing items."

"Every time I order through just eat they promise within 1 hour and it’s often nearly 2 hours u tip delivery, the last three times I’ve had to chase them for an update and eaten late in the evening. Poor service."

"Having recently moved to the area this was my first and last take away from La Orient. This is an objective review of my experience. I ordered direct via La Orient website one hour before delivery was requested. My food was 30 minutes late and not my order. On phoning La Orient they were able to redirect the driver to bring my food and take whoevers food I had to them. To be honest this wasn't a big issue - mistakes happen. However what was an issue was the standard of the dishes I ordered; which were S&S Chicken Hong Kong Style, Plain Chow Mein, Chips and Soup. None of the food was hot. The S&S Chicken was bitter - the chicken was chewy The Plain Chow Mein was dry and claggy with no taste - not something I have experienced before The Chips were a bizarre texture very dry and chewy as if they had been reheated - they were pretty inedible Normally I would keep the left overs for another day, the reality I did not eat what was on my plate and along with the leftovers have all been binned. I may has well got £18 and set fire to it. To the owners I would say, if you are going to offer this cuisine please offer a quality of food that stops reviews like this. It has given me no pleasure to write it, I would rather have had delicious food."

"This place ruined mine & my sons Christmas. We both had the sweet & sour chicken Hong style & spent all night & next day throwing up. The stomach pains were horrendous which make me think it's food poisoning. Also our food was late & when we called the woman had no clue what we ordered. If I have my way,this place will be shut down. A huge disgrace...."

"Really bad experience tonight, waited over an hour and a half for our food which was warm at best and extremely bland, very overpriced aswell for what we received. You expect a certain standard when you order a Chinese and this was well below that standard. Will never be ordering again from here, 4 small pieces of prawn toast for a fiver is a robbery too!"
