Oriental Kitchen brighton

This was our first...and last visit to the Oriental Kitchen in Dyke Road Brighton. It is the worst Chinese takeaway we have tasted yet. The portions compared to other takeaways were on the small side but this didn’t bother us as we thought quality rather than quantity. Sadly this was not the case! The deep fried pancake rolls were okay but extremely greasy...and cold. The king prawns with ginger and spring onions were also cold and tasteless. The prawns clearly just came out of a package, probably bought cheaply from somewhere like Lidl and the spring onion consisted mainly of cheap white onions topped with a few dark green end of a spring onion. Heaven knows what happens to the white end of the spring onions because to date we’ve never seen one in a take away meal yet! On a plus, there was evidence of ginger slithers in the dish which tasted nice. The beef chow mein was the worst we have ever tasted. The portion was half that of other takeaways, the noodles were cooked almost to a pulp and the beef was very tough and chewy. Totally inedible. Even the dog turned his nose up at the portion offered him! The mixed Hors D’oeuvres were very disappointing. The chicken skewers were over cooked and tough, and the satay sauce appeared to get thicker and thicker by the second! Also well over cooked we’re the 4 meagre portions of spare ribs.....the little amount of meat on the generous prices of bones was as tough as old goat and inedible. We thought the crispy won ton was a joke. They appeared to consist of greasy over fried filo party with a smidgen of possible prawn mince inside. The sesame prawns on toast were actually edible but way too greasy for our liking. The sea weed was by far the best part of this particular part of the order....tasted almost as good as my own fried greens. Suffice to say, we will not be rushing to order again from this particular establishment. Sadly the quality of foods served by the majority of Chinese restaurants in the Brighton and Hove area has very much deteriorated.

We’ve tried a few Chinese takeaways in Brighton and this is one of our favourites! Deal portions for your money and great flavours. All of our orders (delivery and collection) and arrived warm and on time. Highly recommended.

Lovely food. Only Chinese we use:)

Hot and sour soup is so bad I how to throw it away! The soup tasted sweet...

We ordered our Chinese at 18.40, at 20.15 it still hadn’t arrived so we phoned them up and was told it was out for delivery. We waited another 15 minutes and tried to call again, the phone rang and rang continuously and nobody picked up the phone. Between myself and my girlfriend we phoned them 17 times! Still no sign of our food at 20.45. They finally picked up the phone and i was told to F#%K Off down the phone. Disgraceful service and our food never arrived.

we're always ordering chinese food here, they're really good! I recommend it 100%

Good staff, good meals and in short time is ready. Thank you Mina 😉

Always a nice go to. Reasonably priced and quick delivery also. Never had anything bad from this place Duck chow mein is delicious

My lockdown luxury.. Food always on time and piping hot. Big portions, fantastic prawns and mussels, delicious duck, and the best grease free Tom Yam soup of any Chinese takeaway in Brighton.. Keep it up folks

This is the most tasty Chinese in Brighton I have had for a long while! You will not be disappointed. Well done Oriental Kitchen!
