If you are looking for authentic Chinese cuisine in Northampton then look no further than the Oriental Garden. Situated on Sheep Street just off Greyfriar’s and close to the Park Inn Hotel, it is ideally located for shoppers, tourists and residents alike and offers some of the best value Chinese food in Northampton.

The restaurant is newly refurbished and features large, full length windows that help to provide a light and airy atmosphere. The authentic Chinese décor which includes images of dragons and Chinese symbols, adds to the traditional theme that runs throughout the entire venue.

The Oriental Garden is favoured by many Chinese customers as well as informed foodies and those who simply love Chinese food. With a well-regarded Dim Sum menu available at lunchtime that includes speciality dishes such as crispy belly pork, ‘Sui Mai’ pork dumplings and baby octopus in satay sauce as well as dishes for the adventurous such as chicken feet in black bean sauce, there is no excuse not to visit. Head Chef Master Lai has over 30 years’ experience including time spent as the Executive Chef for the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club. He specialises in Cantonese cuisine and experiments with creative new dim sum ideas which are sure to delight. As well as delicious Dim Sum, a full a la carte menu is also available that is packed with meat, seafood, fish, rice and noodle dishes and the Ho Fun fried crispy noodles with mixed meats come very highly recommended.

If you are looking for a truly spectacular meal then you can order the roast suckling pig from the traditional Chinese menu. This must be ordered two days in advance to allow time for the delivery, preparation and cooking of the dish but the finished results are second to none. Up to fourteen people can dine from one pig and the party will be seated at a round table that comes complete with rotating centre-pieces. For those who just have a big appetite, an epic all you can eat buffet is available and features more popular and well-known dishes such as crispy aromatic duck and beef in black bean sauce.

The Oriental Garden Chinese restaurant Northampton offers really delicious food for very reasonable prices. If you haven’t been before, a visit is highly recommended – you won’t eat Chinese food anywhere else.
