Oriental Express

I was pleasantly surprised with this little hole in the wall! I tried because a friend of mine told me he had tried them and really liked them and thought I might too. He was correct!The prices are right, just 8.25 for a huge (big enough for 2 meals) serving of Almond Chicken, served with fried rice and an egg roll. Was it the absolute best Chinese food I have had? No, but it was really good and the service and price made up for it.

I didn't know Chinese food could ever be bland. Terrible food. I got the fried rice with ckn and vegetables.

Nothing fancy but it's a neighborhood staple. Good variety. Food does tend to be a little oily.

Love this place! Food is prepared right in front of you and is served hot! Great service!

We tried Oriental Express tonight since the Chinese place we usually go to is a little expensive. I hate to say it but I am just not impressed. We ordered chicken fried rice, egg drop soup, and orange chicken. The rice wasn't cooked long enough, some of it was a little hard. The egg drop soup was okay, but towards the end I found weird-colored bits of egg in there that made me lose my appetite. My boyfriend said the orange chicken was just alright. I would pass on this place.

A co-worker invited me to lunch at Oriental Express, which ironically is just a few minutes from work. I really like trying various Asian restaurants because every location makes things differently. I didn't really have any expectations but was hoping the food would be worth coming back for & fortunately it was not. I ordered their Mongolian beef daily special, which came up to about $7.86 I believe. It took maybe 10 mins to receive the food which wasn't bad but they call your name then you have to walk up to pick-up your order, personally I think they should bring it to your table. You could be in deep conversation & not here your order being called so it could just sit there or someone else can pick it up. I prefer fried rice with vegetables -- theirs had none & it didn't even taste like fried rice but I love rice period. The Mongolian beef was okay, I only ate about half mainly because I was hungry & had already paid. Would I recommend it? No, period.

Staff seemed nice. Ordered fried rice; they either gave me steamed brown rice or the most disappointing fried rice I've ever had.Egg drop soup was gelatinous.. it was gross; I threw it out.Spicy garlic shrimp was.. OK. Very soggy. Wouldn't get food from here again.

Just happened to come across this place so thought we'd give it a try. Can't go wrong with Chinese food really, but this place missed the mark on basic items. The chickens fried rice was super salty, they used way too much soy sauce and it tasted slightly burnt. The sweet and sour chicken was the opposite. It had the sweetness from the sauce, but the chicken was completely bland. The water tasted like there's dirt in it.couldn't even finish the meal. Needless to say I was super disappointed and won't be coming back.

Covid has certainly put a strain on this restaurant. I've been going here for roughly 30 years and business is hurting. Most of the high-tech businesses in the surrounding office parks are empty as people work from home. These people used to fill this place a lunchtime on weekdays, but now it's like a ghost town. They used to have a full kitchen staff but now it's just the owner and a couple of family members. It really hurts to see what has happened to this family business after seeing it successful for so many years. I mainly stick with the Mongolian beef, spicy fried chicken, and the pork with garlic sauce. The food is the same as ever, but everything else has changed thanks to the covid panic that has destroyed so many small businesses. I wish them the best of luck.

Everything here was amazing! It's a little and hidden shop, but they serve amazing food with great prices + amazing proportions. The family that owns it is super sweet and generous. If you go during lunchtime they ensure to get your food out quickly so it doesn't take too long. 10/10 would recommend
