The Orient, Rowlands Gill in Gateshead

Beautiful food, so fresh and the vegetables still had a bite to them which was great. Loved the little flower shaped carrots. Driver was lovely, would definitely recommend

Very poor meal, sensed there was nothing fresh.Bit of a waste of a building which could be better utilised as centre of village.Staff couldn't care a less

Very dissapointed with the food, ordered a pizza box which was tiny and had an over powering taste of salt, we couldn't finish it as the taste was so bad. We didn't order a salt and pepper box nor did it say that it would have sale even on it, nevermind be coated it in. It's saying something when the best part about the meal is the prawn crackers. Also very over priced.

I found it overpriced & overrated. I'm from Slough & I've never had to pay £7.50 for what amounts to a regular fried rice. Also had to wait 45 mins, unheard of. This is an average price up here, down south £5.50 maximum. Ya being ripped off tbh.

First time customer of The Orient & it's our new favourite. Good menu, amazing quality & quantity food, brilliant value for money. Fast & very fresh delivery service.

Spoke to like something you pick up on the bottom of youre shoe. Lost a regular customer today because of the way the lady who takes the orders basically called me a liar. Very very poor customer service. I hope the owner see this

Ordered food for my wifes birthday and paid in advance and it took an hour and a half. Feom me keep calling to find out where the food was i was told it was with another driver. When it arrived it was absolutely stone cold and had to heat it up in the microwave. I rang them back up to tell them after many years of custom i won't be going back.My advice to anyone is don't order from them as there is many other takeaways around the area.👎👎👎

Firstly a sky full of stars for Guide Dog access. If you're a guide Dog owner reading this, you'll have no access issues here, dog was welcomed no questions asked.Tasty food. I've tried both taking away and eating in, and have never been disappointed. I'm no connoisseur of Chinese cuisine though, so my opinion in based solely upon whether what I ate tasted good.When eating in, the buffet was both excellent value for money, the choices were varied, and all appeared to be freshly cooked.This will be my lazy Sunday option from now on, and as most of my Sundays are lazy, I expect to be a frequent Visitor, happy days!

Took my wife out to this place thinking it would be nice after reading the reviews. Not so. There was only one other table taken, the place was empty but the service was unbelievably slow to say the least. The food was of a sub standard and portion size was a joke. For an "all you can eat" the emphasis is the take as much time, while you fill up on water and prawn crackers. The chicken for me was not chicken. I dont know what it was, but it certainly wasnt "fresh"! From observing the staff, as we were waiting for so long, the main concern was getting the take aways out. All of which had bigger portions than we received. .. I actually gave this rating 1 star only because I had to pick. My choice would have been none. Our food was not fresh, the rice tasted like microwave rice but worse, the chicken was disgusting, the service was so slow we were still hungry after we left.. . . my advice would be to stay clear of the orient unless you like to eat slop slow..

This was a last minute decision to get a takeaway for two when passing by, the food was prepared very quickly and with this in mind the food was delicious.A faultless review for this restaurant and will be looking forward to taking advantage of the opportunity to sit in and enjoy a meal.
