“I've been getting my Chinese food from Lucky Dragon II for years. Before my mother's passiing, we would split an order of Moo Goo Gai Pan for takeout. It was one her favorite food items. I grabbed and order of Shrimp Mei Fun today, which I was going to split into three meals and, the taste was so good, I ate the entire dish. Excellent as always. glb“

“Not many places to sit, but the customer service is amazing and food is good, fresh, and steaming hot. They held the door on the way out (hands weren’t full) and gave the kids (teens) in front of me free candy bars because “they were kids” and talked with them about schools, languages, and more. Fantastic people !“

“Grand Oriental Chinese Restaurant— BaldWhiteGuyReviews 🧑🦲🍜 Time flies, kids forget passports, and dads get a rare day off — which I immediately spent doing what any responsible parent would do: drag my son to a new restaurant and then reward him with lunch. 😅 He forgot his passport (top secret co-op stuff, apparently), so we met halfway-ish and let Yelp play help find a new place to try. That’s how we found Grand Oriental — a big, festive palace of American-Chinese comfort food and decorative bravado Grand Oriental 📍4800 Fields Ertel Rd, Cincinnati. Parking & Entrance Parking: angled, on a slight hill, and perfect for anyone who enjoys a little cardio while exiting their car. If you have equilibrium issues, bring a friend or a very dramatic cane. Walk the red carpet like you’re famous (or at least like you once were #Santa in the Christmas Program) and step into a dining room that screams “special occasion” louder than your drunk uncle at a wedding. 🎉✨ #WeSeeYou Decorations Huge space, lots of lanterns, and more faux-oriental flair than a Netflix period drama on a budget. The place looks like someone told Pinterest to go wild and then hired a very enthusiastic intern to execute it. If prom and homecoming had a love child, this would be the reception venue. Very Instagrammable — bring a filter and a dramatic pose. 📸🪩 They even have a golden throne #Seriously. The Wet Live Well They’ve got a big wet live well — yes, an actual aquarium of potential dinner guests. Do I think they fish out a crab and whisper “you’re up” before tossing him into a wok? Some call it fresh; others call it barbaric reality TV for crustaceans. Either way, the seafood looks like it just finished updating its LinkedIn. 🦀🐟😬 #FearFactor Bathroom Report Bathroom: shockingly clean and tastefully decorated. If the restroom is this tidy, you know the kitchen isn’t hiding any skeletons — just maybe a very well-behaved crab. 🚽✨ What We Ate 🍜 * Appetizer: Crab Rangoon — $6.99 Warm, creamy, and dangerously addictive. Came with two mystery sauces: one was sweet (dessert-adjacent and delightful), the other had a wasabi vibe that made my face do a small, respectful salute. I’m still not sure if the second sauce was wasabi or a tiny jar of regret, but it worked. 😋🔥 It was a surprise, no mention of sauces on the menu. (That I could find anyway). * Half-ling’s Meal: Sweet & Sour Chicken with Fried Rice — $11.99 Predictable in the best way. Comfort food for people who like their food to behave itself. The fried rice, however, was quietly excellent — the unsung hero of the table. 🍚👍 * My Choice: Hunan Beef with Fried Rice — $12.99 Hunan Beef is my yardstick. This one had a pleasant kick that made my nose run like it had opinions. Local Hunan still wins my heart #DragonInn, but this one is a solid contender. 🥩🌶️ Total Lunch Damage: $34.46 (waters included, because hydration is free and important) 💸 Final Thoughts (and the part where I pretend to be impartial) The Grand Oriental is a great spot for a special lunch or to impress guests who like their ambiance with a side of theatrical lighting. Staff were friendly and fast — service points for speed and smiles. Food was solid, comforting, and exactly what you expect from a good American-Chinese joint: familiar, warm, and occasionally surprising (looking at you, mystery sauce). #HotHot Final Score: 3 out of 5 Bald Heads 🧑🦲🧑🦲🧑🦲 Why I docked two Bald Heads: * Minus one for predictably (Boring) American-Chinese flavors — tasty, but not revolutionary. * Minus one for price — lunch felt a tad steep. Maybe you’re paying extra for the live well’s real estate and the decorative chandelier that’s clearly on a #FingerHut payment plan. 🧾💡#CheapOldMan Would I go back? Sure — for a special night, a prom afterparty, or if my son forgets something else important. Would I drive across town just for their Hunan? Not this time. 👎 Have you been here?

“Wife and I were in Springboro watching Granddaughters and while they went out for dinner we decided to get Chinese. There was another restaurant closer but its is closed and we found this online. Its in small strip mall with a Pizza place, DQ, Drugstore etc. Going in its somewhat messy in that boxes with supplies are stacked in dining room. There are plenty of chairs but are stored along wall vs around tables. We ordered takeout since we had some wine at home and didn't feel like eating in. Nothing wrong, the tables and booths were spotless just wanted to eat at home. While there almost all food was takeout. We ordered Wife- Happy Family, me Mala Shrimp, spicy jalapeno, onions etc shrimp. It took about 15 minutes and in that time we saw probably 10 people picking up their food.\nWhen we got home we dug in the dishes and fried rice which we both ordered. The food was delicious and my shrimp was spicy but not too. I was sweating at end when finished eating. The fried rice was lightly fried not like some places in which the rice is somewhat oily/greasy but was very fluffy and good.\nPrices for both of us was $29 but plenty of food. Wife had left overs.\nAtmosphere at place is not greatest for dining in but suffices. The seafood in our dish was fresh. Someplace you can tell the shrimp is old but not at this place.“

“This is our go to Chinese carry out in the area. Not the most convenient location for us, but it's the best tasting we've tried over the years. The standard Chinese menu is available and they are usually very quick with the food. Not a place I'd want to dine in as the atmosphere is kind of bleak, but for take out.“

“This is our new favorite Chinese takeout place of all time. I don't say that lightly. The food was excellent, the staff were nice, it was very affordable compared to other places, the portions were very large, and our carryout order was ready in 10 minutes. I got the General Tso chicken with fried rice; my wife got sesame chicken. We got the crab rangoon together. The food was well sealed and very hot when we took it home. The chicken tender on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside. The rice paired well with it. The sauce was really good. The inside of the crab rangoon was creamy and moist, and the outside was crunchy perfection. I was skeptical of this place before I tried it. Now. I just want more of their food.“
