Essence of the Orient in Stafford

Best gluten free chinese in stafford. Loads of options on the menu. Staff are lovely and polite. Quality is always good.

If you’re eating in, inside is clean and well presented. If you’re ordering takeaway delivery charge is expensive at £3. Their food is normally great; however, I wouldn’t order when the football is on. The manager is nice and lets his staff off early to watch it and trys to do everything himself, the problem is he is a terrible cook. I asked him once if it was him cooking the food or his regular staff before ordering, as I noticed it was him who answered the phone (which is unusual). I tried my best to explain politely, that I liked the regular cook’s food but not his. He was very rude told me not to order from their again and hung up. If you're going to order, personally I'd check to see if the football is on before hand.

We had our works xmas meal here last Friday night with a small group of us. Never been before- not sure why!!! The food was absolutely amazing! So tasty! Very friendly staff too- Can't wait to come back!

Excellent food and service. Staff really friendly recommend this place

Fantastic food, fabulous staff and service.Great to be on a round table and able to see everyone.

Very nice food and friendly staffs

The only Chinese restaurant in Stafford and within walking distance from the town centre. The rest are Chinese takeaways. Ample seating. Fast service. Accept card payment which is a bonus (lots of Chinese places are cash-only). Good value for money.

Had Both Satay steak and chicken here. This restaurant is incredible. The staff here are super lovely and I will always recommend anybody to come here. Every-time I go, the place seems so empty, always confusing as I leave so satisfied with both price and food.

Came with the family last month, staff, service food was excellent.My wife enjoyed the prawn dish so much she ordered more.Chef cooked me a house special curry, although it wasn’t on the menu thank you.Our daughter left her doll there and the staff held on to it for a week until we were in town again.Looking forward to to visiting again.Highly recommended.

Had such a lovely meal here last night! Called in last minute and were made very welcome. Staff lovely, prices fair and food delicious! The honey pepper prawns are amazing! Will definitely be back. Thank you!
