Oriental Express

I used to come here with my dad when I was a kid, maybe 15-20 years ago. Stopped back in last week to see if it was how I remembered. The place has definitely seen better days. The restaurant was dim and empty, there were dirty dishes in the corner booth, and the same old fish tank looked like it needs a cleaning. We ordered combination lo mien and spicy fried chicken. The lo mien was mostly just noodles, not a whole lot of meat or veg in it. The chicken was OK, and was definitely the better choice between the two entrees. Egg drop soup was the same as it always was. Both the table and the plates felt dirty. It was sad to see this place in decay. I think it's only a matter of time until they close, but I think it's a mom and pop operation and they'll hold on for as long as they can. I have fond memories but I don't think I'll be back.

We have loved this local Chinese place for over 20 years and the little family that runs it. Good old fashioned Chinese food at a decent price. Our family take out go to!

Update: they have the best chicken wings in town! I have enjoyed the food here for years as Oriental Express has weathered several up and down business cycles because it is very good! I particularly enjoy #25, green bean garlic pork. The egg rolls are great. My wife likes the shrimp with lobster sauce. You can get hot mustard in the refrigerator to your right as you wait in line to order.

Very good - not Americanized Chinese food You know it’s good when the place is packed with Asian folk and you’re the only white person there. Hot and sour soup is packed with vegetables, great mushroom base (for the review below about it not being yellow/the yellow is an additive/hot and sour is mushroom base with cornstarch. this place doesn’t use color additives except possibly sweet and sour sauce) Mandarin beef is definitely good Not really salty Just a great taste My friend from mainland China used to fix dishes for me.. very similar It’s just not Americanized like peiwei or whatever Thumbs up

Good food and great service just that the meat portions are small but other than that good flavor and make fresh. The lady that took our order was so kind.
