Taste of the Orient Restaurant in Burnham-on-Sea

   Appalling, disgusting "food". INEDIBLE. If I could give zero stars I would, as one star appears like a 20% score which it certainly doesn't deserve from last night's travesty. This was not only the worst Chinese takeaway I've ever had, nor the worst ever takeaway, it was the worst of ANY meal I've had in sixty years. The "special Fried Rice" was a soggy reheated gloop of boiled rice and undercooked meat. The Sweet and Sour pork balls in batter were just soft undercooked dry pork balls missing sweet and sour sauce. The rest of the dishes were obviously reheated left overs. The only edible item was the prawn crackers. A huge disappointment, leaving two hungry people as it had to go in the bin, and £30 down the drain. We had been looking forward to treating ourselves all day. I don't know what's gone wrong there because the meal I bought earlier in the year was ok. But avoid now at all cost.

   The food was absolutely delicious,couldn’t have asked for better. My only complaint was the service we felt under pressure to order,then was asked if we wanted the bill,made us feel they wanted us gone,we were last ones in the restaurant but it was only 19.40,I did ask when they closed,

   First time in this chinese restaurant, really enjoyed my visit. We were a party of 10 and the service was quick and efficient. You get great portion sizes and prices are good.

   Is my 1st visit to this restaurant as I am eager to looking for some seafood for dinner. We ordered Salt & Chilli Squid and Prawn, Mix & Match seafood with Garlic Sauce and Fish Platter with Vegetables in Thai Chilli Sauce and Skewers Satay Chicken. It was delicious and as I never had it in those dishes before. And also reasonable price.

   Fast service and good staff, however, food lacking a basic level of flavour. The salt and chilli ribs may as well have come straight off the boil with a pinch of salt thrown on them - not impressed. Singapore rice noodles were nice and felt healthy - once again though, because they lacked any real flavour. Overall a very boring meal. I had the food to takeaway rather than sit in. I would hope the restaurant experience provides much more tasty food.

   Love this restaurant, excellent food, fantastic service, great takeaways. The food is delicious, and they do a comprehensive selection of vegetarian dishes. Faves are the vegetarian crispy duck and veg chicken with pineapple! The food is always good and friendly staff make dining in a lovely experience.

   After having food from here before, we decided to visit again & we now understand why the restaurant was empty. Never have I ordered fried soft noodles & had to cook them myself. They were completely raw & crunchy. Wife's sweet & sour chicken was excessively sour. My chips were overdone & had to be thrown away. The young lady who took my order this evening was lovely & greeted us as we arrived. The service was excellent but there are serious problems in the kitchen. I think its safe to say we won't be returning again. See attached photo.

   We found this little place on a whim. Hungry for food . This little Chinese restaurant and takeaway took our fancy and we were not disappointed. I will admit that the price is on the steep side but with good reason. All food was cooked fresh to order. The staff were very welcoming. The food was amazing! By far the best sweet and sour sauce I have ever had!. All in all a very enjoyable evening and if I am ever on holiday in Burnham again I will definately be stopping in Best Chinese I have ever had!

   I enjoyed vegetarian mock duck pancakes here, they were delicious! I liked the ambience of the restaurant, the staff were all very helpful and friendly. One waitress saw that we didn't have any water and asked if we wanted some, which I felt was really good service and the water was already being brought by someone else, so we felt very well attended and looked after. I will be back.
