I’m new to the area and saw oriental express on Google. This is hands down the BEST Chinese I have had. We will be coming here from here on out. The girl that took my order over the phone was beyond nice and went above and beyond suggesting things to get. When we got there to pick up our order, she was just as kind and friendly as she was on the phone! Phenomenal all the way around!

Oriental is the only place we order Chinese food from. The owners are so amazing and really care about everyone that walks through their door. They are SO FRIENDLY and make the BEST food! The general chicken and ragoons are just some of our favorites. Been going here for years and never a complaint.

My first time was very good but the second time I was turned away and told they have too many orders they had not started. I won't make this mistake again.

The woman that took my order was very friendly and nice. I got my lunch to eat there as I was working on the road. They had 2 tables, one that seats 6 and one that seats 4. No issues, it was described as having tables and I got one. I went on a hot day. The temperature inside was brutal. It was so hot they probably needed a sauna license. It wouldn't have bothered me so much but I ordered a simple lunch special. A pork roll (egg roll), pork fried rice, and shrimp with lobster sauce. It took over 20 minutes to get just the egg roll. No plate or anything, just a paper sleeve. Unlike Massachusetts and a lot of RI and NH they use packets for duck sauce. Typically found down south. Not the apple or apricot based sauce that the rest of New England loves. After a half hour the food came. I considered asking for ice to pack my groin and armpits to avoid heat stroke. New England going back to the Polynesian influence and the access to ingredients like molasses have always made their rice brown. The rice here was yellow and didn't contain much flavor. The shrimp with lobster sauce was a white sauce made with egg whites. The shrimp were cooked right and the sauce wasn't horrible. However, traditional New England Chinese lobster sauce is usually brown made with either oyster sauce or black bean paste and contains minced meat, usually pork. Also originated in the Boston area restaurants as one of the ways they prepared Chinese lobster. The only difference was there was a little more ginger in the original sauce. If you are from MA you will be extremely disappointed. I also have to note that 30 minutes to get lunch in a sauna is unacceptable.
