" I’m always returning to Oriental Express because their food is incredibly flavorful. The beef with broccoli is a personal favorite, always cooked to perfection with just the right amount of sauce! The staff is friendly, and they truly care about your dining experience. The only complaint is that the place could be better maintained decor-wise, but it doesn't bother me too much since the food is spectacular. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay. The food was decent but didn’t blow me away. They could put more effort into the atmosphere since it feels very bland and uninspired. Service was fine, but I didn’t feel welcomed at all. I might try something else next time I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oriental Express has some of the best crab Rangoon I've tasted! The crispy, flaky shells paired with that creamy filling are hard to beat. I've also enjoyed their Mongolian beef on multiple occasions, and it's always perfectly cooked. The only downside is that it can get a bit cramped during peak hours. It’s a great find for those looking for solid Chinese takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" It feels like more of a takeout place than a restaurant. The food is decent, but my order was very salty. I tried the shrimp fried rice expecting it to be packed with flavor but it fell short. I don’t want to give up on this place yet, maybe I’ll try a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! I've sampled a variety of dishes over the years and have never been disappointed. The honey garlic chicken and beef with broccoli are must-tries! Also, they have some of the best crab Rangoon I’ve ever eaten. Fresh and crispy every time! The prices are reasonable too, so you won’t break the bank. A fantastic spot for takeout – I highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve heard so much about this place, but my first visit left something to be desired. The food was bland, and it didn’t have that authentic Chinese taste I was looking for. Service was okay, but I just expected more. I might give it another shot, but my hopes aren’t too high. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews, but my first experience was underwhelming. The food was just average, and I found the general ambiance to be kind of lacking. The staff was friendly but not particularly attentive. I ordered the chicken fried rice, and it didn't have the depth of flavor I expected. The portion was decent for the price, but I might try another place next time. " (*Curated Review*)
