Blossom Oriental

Blossom Oriental is a Chinese restaurant and takeaway on Southgate Street, the southernmost of Gloucester's Roman-origin streets running from The Cross towards the southern suburbs. The restaurant operates both as a sit-down Chinese restaurant and as a takeaway, with a broad Cantonese menu. It is notable for running a buffet service — described by some reviewers as an eat-as-much-as-you-like selection where dishes are prepared individually rather than sitting under lamps. TripAdvisor shows a score of around 3 out of 5 from 299 reviews; the Just Eat delivery side performs better at 4.3 out of 6 from nearly 1,000 ratings. The split in scores reflects a dine-in experience where reviews are more variable alongside a more consistent delivery service. The restaurant does not operate a home delivery service from the dine-in side; collection and the Just Eat channel are the main takeaway routes.
