Oriental Express-Dothan, AL

My wife said 5/5 and I was more of a 3/5. Very nice people at the counter, and the dine in area was nice. We both had a hankering for Chinese and this did the trick, but the food was just okay(disclaimer: I’ve been off sugar and carbs for 2 weeks, so my taste buds could be off). I will say, the price was worth it. 2 Double meat, noodles, and a sweet tea meals for 14 dollars. If you got a stomach for some Chinese, this will do the trick.

The interior/exterior aren't extravagant, but it's immediately notice how clean they keep everything. The staff is prompt courteous and answers all questions and is knowledgeable of the menu and pricing. I had the moo goo gai pan and dumplings. It was fresh, and despite it being different (not typical silkening and white sauce) it was still good. For it's price speed and service u will be back.

I love the black pepper chicken n rice . It hits the spot every time. And always hot n fresh.

We drove over to restaurant from Google map for dinner during rush hour around 5:30 on a Monday. Thought it was closed down so kept going and turned around to go home and realized it’s open. It was one car like maybe a worker’s car in parking lot. Two cars in drive through. The place looks run down really bad. Black mold on and around back door and outside walls. My kids did not want to eat there. So we went home and cooked dinner. I think the owners need to see what the customers see and clean it up a lot. They may have great food but it’s got to look clean on the outside to get new customers.

Oriental Express has the BEST LO MEIN IN DOTHAN!!! I ordered the "House Lo Mein" which includes shrimp, chicken, beef, and pork, it TASTES FANTASTIC!! It was so good I had to do a review!! It's enough to eat on twice..no worries 😁!! The food is made to order, so it will be fresh!! So don't get upset if it takes just a little while. There is also plenty of parking, and a huge dining lobby inside, if you decide to eat at the establishment. The menu is HUGE, with plenty of different options to choose from. I was blown away by the Lo Mein...try it.
