" Had a wonderful experience at Oriental Express! We went in for a casual lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the generous lunch special. I ordered the honey chicken, which was cooked perfectly—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My friend tried the sushi and couldn’t stop raving about it! The atmosphere was bright and inviting, making it a cheerful spot to dine. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Asian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" The sesame chicken was okay, but the fried rice was bland. I was hoping for more flavor and a better experience overall. The service was decent, but it felt like they were understaffed on a busy night. I might give it another chance but only because the atmosphere seemed nice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oriental Express has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants! The variety of dishes ensures everyone can find something they love. I ordered the beef bulgogi, and it was incredibly tender and flavorful. The prices are reasonable, especially for the portion sizes offered. I came with my family, and we left satisfied. I can't wait to try their sushi next! Overall, a fantastic experience and I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an unfortunate experience last week when I ordered takeout. The food was not fresh and the flavors were lacking. I felt let down since my previous visits had been excellent. I decided to give them another chance, hoping it was just an off night. The dining area is lovely, and I do appreciate the quick service when dining in. It’s a mixed bag for me currently! " (*Curated Review*)

" While some items on the menu impressed me, I found the overall experience to be average. The dumplings were decent but not as good as I expected. The ambiance was nice, but the seating arrangement felt crowded. I believe there is potential for improvement when it comes to the food quality and consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Oriental Express was bitter sweet. The food came out quickly and was hot, but the chicken was overcooked in my dish. I did appreciate how friendly everyone was, and my colleagues mentioned their dishes were good. I would come back to give it another try, but I hope they work on their kitchen consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Oriental Express expecting great things based on the other reviews. The ambiance was nice and the staff was friendly, but the food fell short for me. The General Tso’s chicken was bland and the fried rice was not fresh. It felt like I was eating leftovers. I might be willing to give it another try because the reviews were mostly positive, but I need more consistency. " (*Curated Review*)
