Oriental Express - Salford

By far the cheapest Chinese restaurant I could find near me. I ordered salt

After I found out last week that oriental express was still open ( 11 years ago I moved out of salford) I said the next time I am in salford I will order! it didn't disappoint! the best Chinese takeaway I ever had! I could eat it every day!

There was a hair in my food, which was cold. The website did not mention that there would be vegetables in the dish, but there were. I ordered oyster sauce, which usually comes with broccoli, but this dish had onions and carrots instead. Very odd. Save your money and avoid ordering from this restaurant.

I had higher hopes for this restaurant, as the food exceeded my expectations despite its poor reviews. However, I cannot give a positive review due to waiting 2 and a half hours for our food. While we understood that they were busy, we were disappointed by the small portion sizes and lack of apology or compensation for the long wait. Spending £20 on a meal that left us still hungry was disappointing, and it felt like a bit of a letdown. I try not to critique small businesses, but this experience left us feeling unsatisfied and somewhat cheated.

I ordered food at 9:20pm and it arrived two hours later. I called at 10:40pm and was informed that it was out for delivery and should arrive soon. However, it didn't arrive until 11:20pm. The food was cold and the prawn crackers were missing even though I had paid for them. I attempted to call them but there was no answer. The service was absolutely terrible and I will be ordering from a different restaurant in the future.
