" I was hesitant to try this place due to reviews, but now I'm glad I did! The chicken and broccoli was delicious, and I loved how it didn't feel greasy. I came during a slow time, so the service was exceptional, which made for a great overall experience. I would definitely return, as I want to explore more on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have ordered from Oriental Express multiple times, and there hasn't been a single miss. Their beef and broccoli is fantastic, and their fried dumplings are crunchy on the outside! The only thing to watch out for is the wait time can vary, but it's worth it for such delightful food! I can't recommend them enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oriental Express has always been a dependable choice. My go-to is their orange chicken, and it never disappoints. It's crunchy, tangy, and delicious! The staff are very kind and always remember my name. I appreciate their consistency, though I hope they can start offering dine-in options soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I've eaten from Oriental Express, it's been a delightful experience. While some dishes can sometimes vary in quality, like the dumplings being slightly off last time, the majority are spot-on. I truly appreciate their efficient service and always-friendly demeanor. Will keep coming back because they do satisfy my cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a huge fan of their hot and sour soup - it's rich and flavorful! Each time I order, the food is delivered piping hot, which is a must for me. The downside is there's no seating area, but if you don't mind takeout, then this is definitely the place to visit. Friendly service is a bonus! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I were excited to try Oriental Express again, as we haven't visited since their reopening post-COVID. Admittedly, the interior is not much to look at since it's takeout only, but the food spoke volumes. Each dish was packed with flavors, and we enjoyed every bite. The wait was longer than we anticipated, so I advise calling ahead next time. Quality-wise, they hit the mark beautifully! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a self-proclaimed food enthusiast, I must state that Oriental Express has some of the freshest Chinese cuisine I've experienced! The garlic tofu with mixed vegetables is a dish I'd recommend to anyone looking to explore beyond just the classics. The only downside was the wait time; it could be a bit lengthy because I showed up without calling in first. I learned my lesson there! Overall, a great experience that I will undoubtedly repeat. " (*Curated Review*)
