Really nice Chinese and very reasonable prices! We had and shared many dishes and all of them were very tasty. Nice staff and a clean restaurant. We will definitely return next time we are working in the area

My wife and I really enjoyed a set meal for 2 for our Anniversary. The food was served fresh for each course, it was a delicious meal, and the house wine was a real highlight. Even the beef dish was great quality, which is a real acid test for me. Highly recommend, we'll definitely return!

Had a lovely takeaway tonight. Cant recomend them more. Just a little treat for the 2 of us. We had the mixed h'ordvers which were about double the size of what we have had before locally and delicious, especially the seaweed and th spicy sweet and sour sauce with it. Chicken balls were perfectly cooked and not soggy batter or over cooked and dry. The chicken was perfect and a little moist so we were very happy. The sweet and sour sauce with them was a little sweet for our taste but still very good so no complaint as its personal to us. When we order next time we will see if they can replace it with the spicy version that was with the o'rderves. We had our favorite house special chow mein which was one of the best I've ever had. I tried a new dish for me which was duck with bamboo shoots and Chinese mushrooms which I really enjoyed, we also had my husbands favourite s crispy beef and wow lovely sauce and very crispy!! . The prawn crackers were fresh and lovely. All in all we are really happy this is local to us. I have asked my husband to book it for my birthday as that's the same day the restaurant reopens!!. I hope he remembers!!! The restaurant looks really lovely. I was told they are excellent and was upset when I heard about the fire as we wanted a good Chinese when we moved here. So pleased its reopened. They also take credit card payment which is a lot easier for us. I took photos of the menu as the other one on here was hard to see and some lines missing from the bottomn . Open for takeaway for now but soon the restaurant too! Wonderful.

We visited as a party of 4. Originally, we asked for the buffet, but we were told that it's only available Sunday-Thursday. They had the choice of a set meal, or you could order each item off of the menu. We decided on a set menu for 4 of us. There were a few different set menus …More reviews
We visited as a party of 4. Originally, we asked for the buffet, but we were told that it's only available Sunday-Thursday. They had the choice of a set meal, or you could order each item off of the menu. We decided on a set menu for 4 of us. There were a few different set menus to choose from, all of them great. Ours came with a mixed starter for us all, a course of crispy duck and pancakes, and then a course of mains as well. HUGE portions and very delicious, well worth every penny. I honestly preferred the set menu instead of the buffet in the end.

We have just moved to Watton and were told to try Beijing Diner. Honestly, I am beyond amazed at the quality and price of this food. Everything tastes amazing and is cooked perfectly. No fake or greasy rubbish. Just proper, decent Chinese food. I highly recommend this to anyone thinking of trying it. You won't be disappointed. A big five stars from me. Thank you to the lovely staff there. 🙏

Was a busy night, totally full, and service was slow but the food more than made up for it. Really one of the best Chinese I have had in the UK for a very long time.

Excellent food. Table of 7 on a quiet Thursday night. Service was excellent only reason for a 4 instead of 5 only one waitress who was doing both sides of restaurant and take away. She was however extremely polite and working as quickly as she could. we had the all you can eat option huge choice of dishes.

Potentialy one of the best, if not the beat Chinese restaurant and takeaway in the area! The staff is always helpful and friendly! Food is incredible and being coeliac I never had issues with gluten as their menu clearly states which allergens are used to prepare the meal and they also make a note when taking an order ensuring that food doesn't contain gluten.

Delicious!! The best Chinese food we have had! :) We moved to just outside watton nearly two years ago now and we were yet to try food from a local chinese restaurant due to either the huge queues or just none being open. Then Beijing Diner reopened, we saw on Facebook it had stunning local reviews and it did not disappoint. We ordered at 5pm, collection was 15-20 minutes, got there and it was ready :). Food was so so good, will 100% be ordering again. Also, the inside is just beautiful. Will be coming to dine in, in future as well :). Lovely to have real good chinese food so close. I will also add my family who house sat for us also got a takeaway and said it was absolutely delicious food as well, couldn't recommend highly enough either!
