Oriental Chef in Mendip

We placed an order here when our regular Chinese was closed, only to arrive home and find we'd been given the wrong meal. We phoned and a very nice girl put our name in their book for a free meal next time. Several weeks later we decided to try again, my husband ordered the chow mein, it was inedible,bland, colourless and tasteless, my thai red curry was watery only managed to eat is as I had put my rice on it to soak up the red liquid. This cost us £10.30!! My husband took his back and was told that's what it should look like, well that's not what it looked like last time or from any Chinese we've used before and they refused to do anything about it. My husband told them they've lost a customer, the guy on the desk said " oh well we're always getting new customers anyway." Bad attitude for someone in that line of work. We've both ran our own successful business in catering for many years and we don't complain lightly either they have had a change of chef or they are going down the pan. Sad to see.

Oh yeah so yummy and delicious did make me feel pain as I ate so much so for this am gonna have 2 go with 4stars sorry bois :’(

Another consistently good meal

Well cooked and fresh. Decent sized portions but not full blow out which is fine.

Ordered my usual beef chow mein and chicken satay and both came perfectly cooked and super tasty.

As others have said it’s the best chinese in the area by a long mile. Kung Po chicken is heaven - but all their dishes are flavourful and unique. Sometimes a long wait, but it’s literally because they’re so popular, and it really is worth the wait.

The food is good and they cater for my gluten free requirements. Staff are always happy and helpful.I've only given 3 stars because of the following. I usually get told on the phone that they are busy and there is a 45 minute wait, which is understandable. When I arrive to pick up at the time I was told to, I pay for my food and get told it'll be ready shortly. The 'ready shortly ' lasts between 10 minutes and half hour (at its worst). I'd rather they just be up front about how long it'll take.

Easy quick affordable takeaway. Decent meal, decent sized portions, ordered chick and vegtables and egg fried rice. Ate it all 😀

Took an hour when they said 40mins. Very disappointing food. Mixed vegetables was just wet overcooked beansprouts with water chestnuts and bamboo shoots, rather tasteless. Beef with mushrooms also overcooked. Spring roll was over perfumed. Chow mein was sub standard. Only part we enjoyed was the chicken balls which just aren't difficult. Overall disappointed.

The range of dishes is impressive and having used the takeaway numourous times I have always had great tasty food. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is the length of time you have to wait for food, even if you phone your order in I do not believe they start cooking it until you arrive to pick it up, having said that the food is great.
