We went to Good Earth for the first time for my wife's surprise birthday. Everyone had a great time and commented on how good the food was.A special thank you to Sarah who helped me organise everything in advance.

The Go To Chinese within a 15 mile radius. Not cheap mind.

Recommended this place, Good Earth Esher, from family, and always wanted to go but fully booked. We struck luck last night and had a booking for 830, came early and they were able to accommodate us 3 half hour early (travelled from Wimbledon) which was great for us. We ordered a selection of starters- the dragon whisker prawns, lamb sticks, and seaweed- all delicious. The crab and corn soup, which is probably the best we have tasted anywhere, so fresh and hot and warming for a cold night. And then for mains we had a selection of egg fried rice, singapore noodles, spicy chicken with lemograss on mushrooms (so delicious and freshly prepared) and the sweet and sour lamb- all exquisite!! Me and my husband commented how fresh and non-stodgy the food was compared to standard chinese food, it definitely rates very highly compared to others, hence their impeccible reputation in Surrey- I now know why! Yes the prices are higher, but do you know what- its 100% worth paying it as you can see the standard and the taste of the food, it speaks for itself. We noticed there were so many takeaway order collections going as well- proving very popular in the area!!We finished off the evening with coconut icecream which was beautiful, rich and creamy, and the complimentary fortune cookies, it was the perfect way to end a brilliant birthday meal. The staff were also so so friendly with all of us, brilliant timely table service and the front of house staff were excellant- especially with our toddler! Really felt at ease in their restaurant. 5 star recommendation all the way! We will be returning customers.Vegetarian options: Full vegetarian menu, with plenty of options available with starters curries and stirfries.Kid-friendliness: Absolutely superb in accommodating us with our under 2 year old daughter with a high chair and a large round table in the corner. All the staff were very friendly towards her, and gave us plates and cutlery so we can feed her some food as well.

Amazing evening out! Food and service was 10/10 and would recommend the honey glazed ribs to anyone. Our favourite Chinese.

What?s happened to our favourite Chinese? Hadn?t been for ages and drove to the Wimbledon branch which turned out to be temporarily closed. We then drove to the Esher branch ? already shocked to find it was £70 for 2 .. even more expensive than it used to be but the real shock was when we got home. The crispy squid used to be large flat pieces is now small bits of squid and the batter and taste just nowhere near as good. The dragon whisker prawns.. used to be 3 ? now just 2. Pork balls and crispy beef were a poor imitation of what we used to have. Has the company been taken over? It?s like they?ve put up the prices and lowered the quality of the meat! Gutted! We were SO looking forward to it?

Best Chinese food we have ever tasted. Nice atmosphere with a friendly and competent service. We will definitely be back.

I went twice in person, in advance, to book a table and check booking, to ensure my birthday celebration would be special. On the day I was told the table I had booked was not available and was given another one by the front entrance door, on its own, away from the rest of the restaurant! The waitress insisted that we had to sit there and it was 4 degrees, so extremely cold every time the front entrance was used. The restaurant was busy so the entrance was used frequently. I had to complain several times and was told ?not to stress? before we were moved to a corner with peeling paint. Don?t worry if you are white you will be prioritised. I feel very disappointed as this was a special occasion and ruined by the way we were treated. We have come on several occasions in the past and been loyal to Good Earth , recommending it to family and friends. Shame on certain members of your staff ?Good Earth?

Have been to the Good Earth a few times and have been very impressed with the food and service. Tonight the service was excellent as usual but the main dishes were average. It had Kung Po Prawn which was ?nice? but the Chicken in Cashews was horrendous. It has actually made me feel quite ill. The chicken was fatty with large pieces of yellow flabby fat. The chicken was thigh meat and inedible. I was not charged for the dish and was asked if I wanted a different main but I couldn?t eat anything after that. For £25+ for this particular dish I would have expected a lot more than fatty chicken. Everything else including the starters were great. But I can?t get past the chicken.

TAKE AWAY - BE CAREFUL Be carful as there are two take away menu prices, one being a take away collected from the restaurant and the other from a take away shop. On my order which was for 4 people collected from the restaurant it cost £147.50 but if the person taking the ordered had directed me to the take away shop of Good Earth it would have only been £98.40 that being £49.00 cheaper.

No doubt it?s the finest Chinese food I?ve had anywhere. Clean, fresh, flavoursome, faultless it?s annoyingly good ! Happy to pay more for that quality. Service first class
