Orient Express

I was working late at Fort Huachuca, and everything was closed then, so I headed out the south gate into Sierra Vista's downtown area. I found the Orient Express. As you enter the door, the restaurant is on your left, and another business is on the right-hand side. I paid no attention to what it was since it was late and I was tired. I ordered my standard, which is chicken fried rice and an egg roll. She mentioned having spring rolls, which was fine as long as they were not seafood since I am allergic to them. Well, the total came to $36+. At first, I thought she might have charged me for two chicken fried rice dishes since that's usually the case, but to my surprise, the spring roll was four rolls per order at $9.95. So, if you're eating solo, be ready because ordering a single roll is impossible. They are only orderable in quantities of four. She had to call the manager to cancel the additional order for spring rolls. No worries. The cashier/order taker was kind and friendly, a delight after a demanding day. As for the food, it was plentiful and fresh, and I even went to Walmart afterward to pick up some bottled water.

I previously reviewed this place, but somehow the review disappeared?My husband, daughter, and I come here about once a month. It switched management once since we starting eating here. We find the food was good under both, but like the current food better. They slimmed the menu down some, I think so that they could focus on refining the flavors of the dishes. It works well!Pros:Consistently good foodFree ice cream (some days)Beer and wineDim sum is always an excellent choice hereCons:Long waitsSeemingly high turnover wait staffSometimes wrong order and/or missing item(s)Infrequent check insWe'll likely come back, but now more like once every few months or so.

We decided to try this restaurant after reading several reviews. It is inside of an older hotel, the Sierra Suites, and is rather unassuming. The waitresses were nice, but.... something happened and our order got lost or something... but other tables that came after us were getting served. We were patient, and they kept telling us that our food was coming... but it didn't come. After an hour of waiting, we were about to walk out, when our food came. I don't blame the waitresses, and even really the cooks. These things happen. But if we had have walked out, like, it's not cus we weren't patient. One hour is a long time to wait and it was just... toooo long. We had to move on. I was literally on the edge of my seat about to stand. It was really pretty good. The food seemed fresh and not heated from frozen or microwaved. What I would call "clean". I don't know how to explain it, but many times other restaurants will have food that looks like it's been "roughed" up a bit. Like it's been through a storm and around the block a few times. This food was very "clean", not full of fat, or odd bits that you didn't know what they were. It was presented well, and was very tasty. I especially liked the sweet and sour, and the white sticky rice had a good flavor. This is def on our list of best restaurants in SV.

An awesome find in Sierra Vista! Impeccably clean, great service. Favorites are fish and sauerkraut soup Not what you would expect. More like cabbage, ginger and garlic and tender white fish soup, Mongolian beef, Maypo spicy tofu,and the hubs loves everything. When the menu says spicy, believe them!

The food is delicious. Service was friendly and prompt. Food was prepared and served very quick. I like how you can specify how spicy you like dishes. The portion sizes were definitely shareable. Ambiance could be better, there are still Christmas looking decorations up and it's a little too quiet, but it's still nice and clean. I have to give a special shout out to Ms. Win, I believe she is the manager/ owner, and she is the sweetest lady around! The restaurant is located within the Sierra Suites Motel. If you need further directions stop by the front counter and Cassandra, the front desk clerk, is super friendly and helpful as well. I highly recommend this place for authentic Chinese food in Sierra Vista! I'm looking forward to visiting again and trying more options!

While the ambiance of the restaurant itself is rather plain, the food was phenomenal. I ordered the black pepper Shrimp Balls (AMAZING) and the spiciest chicken dish (one next to Kung Pao) that I don't recall the name of that was truly spicy and amazingly delicious.Besides the ambiance, the only other oddity is that the Coke is served in a can with a glass, not a fountain soda (for $2.50)..

I had an urge for Chinese food that has lasted for two weeks. It was an itch that Panda Express couldn't scratch. Being new to town, I was iffy about trying the local cuisine but gotta try new things. Orient Express is located in a hotel on Fry street and it's understandable why you can drive past, it's in the hotel instead of attached. I was greeted when I entered and shown the menus at the desk for my to-go order. I walked around the dining room while waiting for my food. It's a large area with a side room tucked away by the pool. It didn't take long for the food to be done. I noticed there wasn't an overwhelming smell of "Chinese food" that I've come to expect. The spring rolls were delicious, both plain and with the sauce. Same with the Veggie Lo mein. This isn't like previous restaurants I've been to before just regarding the menu. Other Chinese restaurants have lots of options, including lunch and house specials. Orient Express has a few options for appetizers, desserts and main dishes.

This was a nice surprise. I only found out about this place because of its Yelp account. I had to check it out as I enjoy Asian cuisine.The restaurant is inside the Sierra Suites. There is no independent marquee noting its existence. The only semblance of advertising are flags along Fry Blvd, but they are hard to read by passers-by, especially when the wind is blowing. You don't know about the restaurant until you enter the hotel lobby. The restaurant is an extension of the front lobby, separated by a glass wall.There is patio dining facing the pool, but I sat inside because of the threat of rain. The ambiance inside is airy and light. No overhead TVs were on to ruin the peace.Menus are already on the table, but you can do a quick scan of the bar code to access the menu online. I ordered the chicken broccoli lunch plate for$9.95. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was brought promptly. A spicy bowl of wonton soup came with my order, making this a very filling portion.The broccoli was crispy and the chicken was tender. This is how real Chinese cook their vegetables and meats. Nothing soggy. This restaurant just recently opened, so people have not heard about this place. I was the only diner in the hour I enjoyed my meal.

So I am from out of town, Southern California! We found this little gem because we were staying at Sierra Suites. While it's inside the hotel, anyone can come for lunch or dinner. The ambiance is very nice, quiet and the service was exceptional. Best in Sierra Vista, or one of the best. We loved the food. If you have not tried this it's worth coming in for lunch or dinner. Really good food. Great people! We loved it. Will be making this a place we return to when we visit family.

Ambience was lacking food was 5/10 but service was good. Will try again to see if better
