If you like the taste of Soy this is the place for you!! Fried rice is literally white rice covered in soy, Lo mien is exactly the same taste, no additional flavors here!

I have eaten at this Orient-Express a few times here and there never really had a complaint the order I received today absolutely disgusting. The rice is very pasty and gummy. The chicken is I don’t even know how to describe it. Some parts of the chicken are so dry that I can’t even chew, the sesame sauce seems a little overcooked? Crab Rangoons were at least somewhat ok

99.99% of the time the food is hot and freshly served are usually do contactless visit and I’ve only been in the store one time which is a very clean environment. All the one time I got my food that was between lukewarm and warm and you can trust that that manage it was more than kind and she made that right the prices are very reasonable and the people are always exceptionally kind. They are really business oriented people for the every day life I’m most.

I have been wanting Chinese for awhile now and decided to try this place. WOW, what a disappointment! First, an order of cashew chicken and crab rangoon cost $17.95. I did like how The chicken came separate from the sauce. Typically cashew chicken has green onions and cashews, this only had cashews. The chicken was like jerky, dried out, tough, not edible. The “crab” rangoon was a runny, nasty, cream cheese filled thing. No crab was found after dissecting two of them. Just a runny mess. Will certainly not be back here.

Called and placed a delivery order. They said it would be 45 minutes to an hour. Over an hour later I called to see where my food was and they told me the driver had just left with it. 30 minutes later I still had no food. I called them back and they said they had no record of my order. Very poor service. I never did receive my food

So disappointed with the flavor AND price. We only ordered here because CHINA WOK was closed. At least they have flavor! I remember why I stopped going to orient express. Unforgivable!

This has got to be one of the worst Chinese places I’ve ever ate honestly it tasted really bad The fried rice doesn’t even have anything in it there’s barely any flavor and the chicken was tuff as it can but the only good thing about it it was really hot but it tasted like it was reheated and was sitting there for a while it doesn’t even deserve a 2 but I honestly give it 1.5

Physical contamination. Just bit into 2 small black rocks in my order of General. Immediately called restaurant. Had to repeatedly ask to speak to owner myself after the worker kept relaying information between the two of us. No solution other than me bringing the food back to them was offered. NO APOLOGY. They refused to send a delivery driver. They would not take my information over the phone when I told them I needed to make a dental appointment to check to see if a tooth had been chipped or cracked. Once back at the restaurant the owner says he found more rocks in the dried red pepper flakes. HE DIDN’T SEEM SURPRISED. Appears they are willing to use unsafe food suppliers in order to cut costs. The red pepper flakes are only there because they cut corners and eliminated the full chilis from their original recipe!
