Blue Orchid in Romford

Oh, let me tell you about Blue Orchid – it's this charming Chinese restaurant tucked away on North Street in Romford, and from what I've gathered from the reviews, it's mostly a winner. Most people are raving about the food; it's packed with authentic Cantonese flavours, like the crispy duck or the sizzling fillet that's just spot-on. The staff really make the place feel welcoming, always ready with a smile and happy to recommend dishes or handle a big group without any fuss. With such a solid 4.6 rating from heaps of reviews, you'd be hard-pressed not to have a good time. But, to keep it real, there was that one review where someone was let down by bland, under-seasoned meals and small portions that didn't quite justify the moderate prices – it's a reminder that not every dish hits the mark. Still, if you're up for some reliable Chinese grub and don't mind the odd off day, I'd say it's worth popping in for a meal; just maybe skip the prawn crackers if you're feeling picky!
