The Old Cathay

I ordered sweet and sour chicken Peking style, egg fried rice and chicken chow mein. I order and go and collect and my meals was delicious as always. I have tried so many Chinese restaurants in and around Harlow and this is the only one I repeatedly go back to. When you go to a Chinese and the staff look exhausted that means they have lots of happy customers.

This was one of the best Chinese buffet meals we have had in a long time. All dishes were freshly cooked to order were hot and individual in flavour. We had Mongolian lamb as one of our main dishes & it was delicious. The staff were friendly & attentive & there was no rush to eat each of our courses. The decor was dated but the food & staff well made up for this. Excellent value for money - wish we lived closer as we would be regulars for sure!

Just ordered from here for the first time, then decided to check reviews on Google, made me quite nervous about wether the food was actually going to be good? So I ordered at 17:20, turned up at 18:10 (live inbetween staple tye and Bush fair), so was nice and speedy. We ordered chicken chow mein, beef chow mein, chicken balls and satay chicken skewers, honestly cannot fault it at all, food tasted great and the beef was amazing 😊 will definitely order from here again.

Food was amazing as always and I would like to say thank you for being so helpful and understanding when my order was sent to my old address. It was completely my fault for not checking and even tho the new occupants took the food I paid for with no guilty Conscience you cooked our meal again for us. Thank you again and Merry Christmas 😊

Really accomodating. Went to the buffet and they cooked the food for us as it was quite. When we mentioned we where vegitarian they went out of their way to ensure we had food. Regularly checked on is and even offered to cook more if we weren't happy with the selection. Good value, definatly go there!
