Oriental Inn

Oriental Inn is the Chinese takeaway on Dale Road in Spondon, the long road that runs through the older heart of the village on Derby's eastern edge between Sitwell Street and the Nottingham Road. It's a Hong Kong-style kitchen with a long Just Eat record and a sizable Facebook following — most recent reviews flag a change of ownership and chef that has pushed the cooking up a notch, with regulars naming salt and pepper tofu and the vermicelli dishes as particular standouts in the more recent run of feedback. Reviewers also call out crisp, properly cooked vegetables and a willingness to take small special-request changes, which is the kind of detail that earns regulars on a village parade like Dale Road. House specials sit alongside the usual sweet and sour, curry and chow mein for those who want the familiar end of a British-Chinese menu. Delivery covers the local Spondon streets and the immediately neighbouring postcodes.
