Oriental Express has been a Pella staple for many years. Excellent food, great prices and great to support a local business.

From the moment I wake up, until I put on my make up, I think about Oriental Express. The chicken I experienced was tso general, no issues. A properly valued, authentic Pella Chinese and Vietnamese experience. All aboard🫡🚂

Poor service, food was like, what is this, soda fountain filthy and bathrooms were also dirty

Horrible customer service. The lady didnt even greet us and rushed our order. Saw the lady pulled out a plate of food and slaped on top of the to go tray. Pretty sure the beef on top of our fried rice was microwaved. Our family ended up at Applebee's for lunch.

I love the orange chicken! It's enough to get two meals out of one order.

This is a great little establishment just off the square in Pella. Full meal and a drink for $7.50? Fogettaboudit. For my money it's a great deal. I always leave satisfied!

The restaurant was very dirty. The floor, tables, and chairs were sticky. Even the TV was visibly dirty. It took 10 minutes for anyone to come up front to take our order. The staff was not at all welcoming. They had actually brought our food to the table and plopped it down without a word and walked away as I was saying thank you. Other customers came in to order and started at us eating like we were aliens. It was really an odd experience. I felt like I needed a shower and a penicillin shot after eating here. Thankfully, the food was hot and fresh but wasn't the best Chinese food I've had. It was also very inexpensive. We spent about $6 per person including drinks.

Would 0/10 recommend to go eat at this place. They had us questioning if anyone was working because no one came and attended us. The customer service was absolutely horrible. She was getting upset for thinking about what we wanted to get. We got our food, and she slammed the food on the table. The shrimp tasted horrible questioning if it was edible. It tasted like it was a few days old. The people were eating in the kitchen and not attending us.

I love this place, a lot of really good food for supper cheap! It's especially impressive now with raising food prices. If you want really good Chinese come here, if you need a quick meal come here, and if you need a cheap meal come here!
Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options
Kid-friendliness: It's a regular restaurant, they won't mind at all if you have kids and the service is so fast that if one of your kids is getting upset you can just grab your food and go. But they don't upset kids, I just know how it feels when one of mine has a restaurant meltdown!
