Oriental Express

Baring in mind it’s been 4 years since someone reviewed this, I decided to give it a try when I was at a friend’s house last night.
Didn’t have any luck ordering through just-​eat, but it was literally down the road so I guess I was being a bit lazy. Drove down and parked at the fuel station next door.
Pretty stereotypical Chinese takeaway feel to it, your generic fish tank under the front desk, Chinese calendars and ornaments etc.
Very friendly staff and i was a served straight away. Nice idea having the kitchen open, it looked clean and it was nice to see literally everyone mucking in.
I guess I was waiting around 15 minutes but I ordered the fillet steak so I’d be worried if it came out sooner. I spent the time watching the fish in the tank beneath the desk so it went surprising quick.
Absolutely fantastic food and well worth the money, one of the best Chinese takeaways I’ve been to. They even threw in some free prawn crackers :-)

Simply put, the best Chinese takeaway in Derby

The takeaway is located next to Somerfield (used to be the Jet garage), and the food is really good & reasonably priced.
The kitchen is open, so you can see the chefs cooking the food that has been ordered, they have a delivery service available too.
We have never had a bad meal, the staff are very friendly and efficient.
