" Dining at the Orient Express is always an enjoyable experience. The combinations are so generous and I often find myself sharing with friends just because there's so much food! The fried rice is rich and pairs perfectly with their savory chicken options. While I do think they might need to work on their egg rolls a bit, overall, I can't recommend this place enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place offers such a cozy setting! I appreciate the family-run feel and how clean everything is. I've tried a variety of dishes and the flavors are usually spot-on. Well worth the price for the quality you receive. " (*Curated Review*)

" To be honest I came for the sesame chicken based on all the hype. While it was good, it wasn’t as amazing as I thought it would be. The side of fried rice was a bit dry too. Service was friendly but I think I’ll stick with my go-to Asian restaurant for now. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for quick, tasty Thai food! The fried rice is second to none, and I always get more than enough to eat. The staff is super attentive, ensuring your experience is top tier. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is certainly a local classic! The food is always fresh and the prices are reasonable. I do wish they had more chicken options though. Still, I can't complain about their service—it’s always friendly and attentive. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Chinese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed myself at The Orient Express! The beef and broccoli was exactly how I wanted it: tender and seasoned well. I was pleasantly surprised by the quick service, even during peak dinner hours. Definitely going to bring my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Orient Express for the first time recently and fell in love! The atmosphere was lively with great wall decor that reminded me of classic rock and roll, and the food was delicious. I had the bourbon chicken combo which was flavorful and filling. Probably the best egg rolls I've ever had! The service was prompt, but it did take a little longer during peak hours. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
