Came here for lunch on a weekend and was not disappointed!
The quality of the food was great; I ordered the vegetable fried rice (most of the fried rice options are only $6.75) which came out in a timely manner and tasted great. The servers were also all very friendly.
This place also provides a lot of online ordering choices, which makes it easy if you are in a hurry. The owners put a lot of effort into making sure this place runs smoothly. Would definitely return! -

Absolutely not authentic Chinese food. Please argue with me on it.
I have given this place at least 6 tries, and I am not coming back. This spot is beyond American-ized Chinese food. I kindly asked them if they use brown rice or if they steam their rice differently because there's a tan tint to it, but they told me it's just normal steamed rice. Weird, cause "normal steamed rice" is white, but okay. The fried wontons are drenched in oil and somehow manage to be a little soggy in certain areas. The beef in any dish is very fatty and the chicken is really dry and almost hard. My only positive comment relating to food would be quantity. The plates are big enough for both lunch and dinner.
The only thing keeping this establishment away from a 1 star review is the service. Service is quick and friendly. -

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. -

Came to Oriental Express for takeout tonight and was pleasantly surprise how good the food and service were. Came by around 8:30 and got the sesame chicken w/ fried rice (7.25$) and the spicy fried chicken (6.75$). Both dishes comes with an egg roll and fried wonton. The food took less than 5 mins to cook and tasted pretty good. The portion size was decent for the price and they give you a lot of fried rice or more like white rice with seasoning sauce. I like to commend them for using chicken breast for their chicken that tasted more quality than the other Chinese restaurants. The waitress/owner at the counter were extremely friendly and nice. The food came out super quick and the prices are great. What else can you ask for?

Food came really hot and on time. Egg drop soup was mediocre as were the egg rolls. Chicken fried rice was good as was the chicken chop suey. But we probably won't order from here again. My wife really did not like any of it.
