My mom & I have been eating here since like, 1997, off & on over the years. I introduced my husband & sis-in-law in 2013 to this place, & they looked it, too!
Throughout the last 20 years, this restaurant has remained CONSISTENT, which is flabbergasting GREAT!!!! When you find a restaurant & it serves yummy food, has really nice employees, who pile in the food, not skimping while also not overcharging, then you've found a winner!!! Oriental Express is that winner, to me! I've had problems, lots of problems, w/ Panda Express - Chinese fast food, so I was very happy, Friday night, finding this place still open, still in business, & still the same.....again, consistent & great!
On the corner of Union Hills & 19th Avenue, it's sitting in a strip mall's parking lot; there's lots of parking spots & it's open, EVERY SINGLE DAY, from 11am to 9pm. See again, consistent! Great job!! Inside is filled w/ lots of tables & hard bottomed chairs, a tv w/ Jeopardy usually, playing, & a Coca-Cola brand soda fountain for plenty of refills. The inside is very bright inside & cool temps; you can look outside the wrapped windows, (which are clean to match the clean linoleum floors & tables) & people watch, or watch cars driving by, on 19th Ave. This restaurant - all around, is chill & non-threatening.
Me and my family will eat here maybe two or three times a month. I am addicted to the hot mandarin chicken. Its sooo spicy its awesome. Although make sure you get what you ordered because every now and then they will Mess it up because they don't speak English all that well.
Ok...for some reason my comment ended up at Dunkin Doughnuts....any how....my family for 15+ years and if it hadn't been good we wouldn't have been going to Oriental Express for that long. We take friends to this and they too love it. If they mess up TELL THEM and SAVE the receipt...so they can fix it and make you happier. The food recipes have not changed and when you take food to go....it's still VERY hot and fresh.
I love this place. There house special chicken is delicious. I also always get the crab ragoon there awesome the best out of all the crab ragoon that I've had. However they are a little more cream cheese tasting than crab tasting. which is what I prefer .
This place is small and nice. It seems sketchy but I lobe the food here and its hard finding good teriyaki these days and I personally love their large portions. I could eat them all day if I could. The ol lady that always works there is nice and recognizes me when I go in
Wonderful food, and a nice easygoing atmosphere. The lady at the counter was super friendly and nice. Will definitely be coming back again! :)
The Hot Mandarin Chicken here is my favorite meal here and the people here are very friendly, my family and I have been going here for years and I have never had a bad meal.
LOVE. Ive been going here since I was a little girl,now I take my daughter and fiancé. The owner is so kind and sweet and the food is delicious
I really love all of the food I have tried here and so does my boyfriend. I use to live down the street and ate here weekly and since I moved downtown, I try to stop in and get some food here everytime I'm in the area!
Been coming to this place for 15 years atleast. Mandarin hot chicken is to die for. My favorite food in the world. Everything else is hit or miss.
