    Food was good but the staff was not very nice. It felt very rude how they treated the costumers.

    While our meals at The Orient were generally good, the service was very unpleasant. The staffed buzzed around the table constantly trying to pick up any service item that appeared to be not in constant use. Dishes and dim sum sections were removed while we were still dining. Additionally, complete settings were removed from the table while members of our party were still eating. The entire meal was rushed and we found out why - an hour after sitting down we were told that we had to clear out for another party. Overall, it was not a pleasant nor relaxing experience and we would not recommend The Orient to other prospective diners.

    The food was good here but we had a set menu of three courses and it’s clear they want you out as soon as possible as we were all done in an hour. Shame as if we had been given more time between courses we would have been able to eat more.

    Relatively cheap off Leicester Square hell, with interesting menu. The spring rolls were amazing but the crispy duck was under seasoned and over fried, coming with sad tired cucumber and a stack of pancakes with mould on them! This was quickly rectified and a 20% discount applied on the dish, but our appetites had been ruined.
