The Oriental Express Restaurant in Hickory offers Chinese and Japanese cuisine, which is generally regarded as good and fresh. However, there have been complaints about the wontons, described as not fresh, with little filling, and not as good as they used to be. The wings and lo mein have been praised. The sweet-and-sour chicken and Japanese vegetables have been criticized for having a thick, jelly-like sauce and arriving in a sweet soy sauce, respectively. The fried rice was found to be ordinary yellow rice with no flavor. The yum-yum sauce and sweet carrots were criticized for being overly sweet. The free syrupy-sweet tea was also noted. The small spring rolls were the only part of the meal that was well-received. Some customers have found the food to be overly sweet.
