Oriental Touch

Went last week at dinner time. Had a very enjoyable meal. plenty to choose from. staff polite. good value for money if you’ve got a good appetite

What a Royal rip off
Used to go fairly regularly as it has something for everyone even though it is a bit run of the mill. NEVER AGAIN!!!
I have just returned from Oriental Touch as my partner and I fancied a bit of cheap & cheerful chinese after a hard week at work. Food was okay, nothing special and we were fairly satisfied until it came time to pay and they insisted on charging us for our 19 month old daughter!!! I admit that she a little bit of rice & chow mein off my plate (probably about 20p worth) and we even brought her own juice & snack box from home. Fair enough, I wouldn’t have begrudged a couple of quid, but £6.00 is outrageous.
When I argued this point I was clearly told that it was policy and helped them make better profit!
It is not the £6.00 (that won’t buy much these days anyway) but the principle.
They have just lost a fairly regular customer — I’m sure we won’t be missed, but then neither will they be!!!
If you have kids — steer clear — all they see is £££ signs when they see toddlers! definately not family friendly

If you are hungry this is the place… if you are looking for fine cuisine then China Blue down the hill.

This is my dirty little secret!!! Ashamed to admit I like it!
It’s cheap and cheerful, certainly NOT a gourmet experience, but once in a while it’s great!
Plenty of choice and they have recently refurbished the toilets, so that’s good.
The food is the same as the Honeymoon in Paignton, guess they are the same owners.
TOP TIP
You can go back as many times as you like, so do not spoil it by piling you plate up! Take it easy, enjoy many flavours in small portions. This is my suggested menu:
Start with spring rolls, smoked chicken, dipping sauce and prawn toast.
Then soup. The spicy one is good.
Then Duck Pancakes. Yum.
Then king prawns and singapore noodles with seaweed.
Then beef red curry and rice, with prawn crackers.
Then fruit, pineapple and lychees.
Then a filthy frozen Asda special cheesecake.
I’m done!

I think the reviewer before went to a different restaurant, I have been with a crowd from work and also with a small group of friends and everybody thought it was great value for money, you can choice how much you want to eat and what you want, and everybody liked the menu.

No one can accuse me of being a food snob;I adore MacDonalds, fish and chips, fresh chips with mayo and pizza but this just wasn’t a good experience.
Yes the staff were polite, yes the place was clean but the food and the ambience was beneath dull. There was a good dselection available for an all you can eat lunch buffet… I should have known better with that title in itself I suppose, but this was the second choice of my boss after our first choice was closed by a blown generator!
The food had to have labels since it all looked the same swimming in sauce or deep fried.
If you love good chinese food then don’t go in, if you have never had chinese food before then you could use this as a cheap intro, but if you do then please, please go to a proper restaurant and see what this food can taste like when it is done properly and fresh for you!
