I recently had the pleasure of dining at Orient Express, located at 1039 Lexington Rd in Georgetown, Kentucky, and it exceeded all my expectations! If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Chinese food in a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to go.
The restaurant itself is clean and inviting, with a friendly staff that makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. The menu offers a wide variety of classic Chinese dishes, and the portions are incredibly generous.
I ordered the Sesame Chicken, and it was hands down the best I’ve had in the area—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in a perfectly balanced sauce that wasn’t too sweet or overpowering. I also tried the Hot and Sour Soup, which had a rich depth of flavor and the right amount of heat. The egg rolls were fresh and crispy, a perfect starter.
What sets Orient Express apart is not only the quality of the food but also the excellent service. The staff is attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion sizes and quality of ingredients.
Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner, Orient Express is a must-visit for anyone in the Georgetown area. It’s a hidden gem that I can’t wait to visit again.

I am a little bit of a Chinese food snob having lived many years in New York City area. I am here to tell you that the food is excellent, always hot and the service is both pleasant and fast. Tremendous shrimp egg foo young! Great soups. If you like fried noodles with your soup be sure to order them as they are not complimentary. They do a great job!!

We moved to Georgetown earlier this year and had yet to try any Chinese restaurants in the area. A quick Google search showed this place to be our best bet, and it certainly was! Delicious, quality food packaged nice and hot. I was shocked to see how many vehicles were in line when we got there but, after having the food, am no longer surprised! We will be returning time and time again, I’m sure.

I honestly was sketched out about this place at first the building definitely needs a face lift but the food is fantastic. I have been back multiple times. And their hot and sour soup is actually hot unlike other Chinese places which I was so happy about I didn't have to add my own spices. Don't let the building fool you this place is solid and great food great service.
I have only used the drive thru so far. Have lived here going on 5 years and just found this place a couple of weeks ago thru Google. Have driven past it hundreds of times....The reviews were excellent, so I gave it a try. Food is excellent...service is fast. Reasonably priced and the menu has everything you can think of. My fav is hot and sour soup and orange chicken.

The food is always fresh, with large portions and fairly quick
Underrated. It’s not trying to be anything but a reliable place to get a good hot Chinese meal. They are great people and the food is consistent. Nothing fancy here just good food.
