Highly recommend the mixed hors d'oeuvres. Dishes are generous, service is relaxed and friendly. Duck pancakes are the best I've ever had (and it's a constant mission of mine), veges and meat are fresh, well cooked and rice is sticky as. In hot competition with the duck pancakes is my new favourite, lamb and lettuce. Comes with a gorgeously sticky plum sauce. If you are celebrating a birthday let them know and you will be in for a glorious treat. Cliff Richard singing "Congratulations" (yes, that version!) at 100 decibels, with the lights off, coloured lasers tripping around the room and then a big serve of toffee apples and bananas smothered in vanilla ice-cream -- woop!

Their crispy chilli beef is awesome, the portions are good, I don't think I've ever had a bad dish from Oriental Star. We're in the area quite regaularly and use this takeaway loads. We don't get Chinese back at home (deepest darkest Essex) because all the local ones to us never match up to the Oriental Star... If you're looking for a good Chinese - then look no further.

We chose the special meal option which was £12/£15 per person and included first course of mixed starters- seaweed, prawn toast, satay chicken, chicken wings and spring rolls. 2nd course was aromatic duck pancakes. For the 3rd course you have a whole list of dishes and you can chose up to 5. We have been back a dew times and always leave full.

We usually go for the buffet which starts with a small platter that is perfect for two which includes the usual ribs, spring rolls and prawn toast and then duct and pancakes followed by 5 dishes of your choice (at a time) from the menu. All good quality food and can't complain with the service. the deco of the restaurant leave something to be desired but it does have a nice little waterfall at the back but it still a pretty small venue and never that busy (numbers rise on a Saturday) The parking at the venue isn't that great but you can park a little bit down the road for free as long as its out of hours! def recommended. + a lil tip, if you order a large coke they put 2 glass bottles in which is fine, but its like £4.50 I think

You have to be a member and place your order before 7:30 pm. A zero for customer service because any reasonable business would have taken into account that this is a first visit and just 35 minutes after their cutoff time. I do have to confess that they were polite, and the food was reasonably good. Not excellent though.

We headed here on a Sunday night over the Bank Holiday weekend and it was busy but not so busy that service was affected. We ordered a mix of starters, mains and the "vegetarian crispy duck" and all were cooked to a high standard and brought out at a reasonable pace. Price is comparable to similar restaurants (roughly £35 for two with a drink each) but it's the slightly surly service that really makes a Chinese restaurant and I'm pleased to say that wasn't lacking here.
