“This is our family’s favorite Chinese take out spot in the area. Always consistent, quick, delicious food. Their wonton soup is very good. They have great prices and great service. We have tried many of their dishes and have never been disappointed.“

“I come here VERY frequently, and every single time I am left satisfied. Their chicken friend rice with yum yum sauce is simply perfect. My FAV however is their chicken curry with onion dish! Soooo good!! Their food is always hot, on time, and freshly cooked!“

“The food is Good but where is this place really shines is the young man who answers the phone and works the register he is the kindest friendliest most pleasant person to deal with. Just left from there and he gave my four year-old daughter full-size candy bar that she got to pick and a bottle of water and this is not the first time that he has done that and when my daughter was shy to say thank you he told me not to press her and said that that’s just how kids are and was so kind and understanding. I absolutely recommend this place and not just for their food that young man deserves a raise for sure, and it doesn’t matter who goes into pick up the food. It could be me or my husband and my husband has the same exact experience.“

“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?

“Not all Chinese restaurants are the same. And each one has its specialities. This one does a very good job in what they specialize, which is Guangdong/Shanghai style dish. What that means is that their speciality is not Sichuanese. So if you go there, you should order Guangdong/Shanghai food not Sichuanese. They do a phenomenal job with that dish.
You should get:
- Shanghai Style Eggplants
- Moo Goo Gai
- Sizzling Seafood Combination
(Any seafood menu was good from my experience)
These are not the best:
- Mapa Tofu or Double Cooked Pork (they are Sichuanese dish)“

“I literally LOVE this place. My fave & go to Chinese place. Only reason I gave service 4/5 starts is because the time they close is different everywhere listed!!! Online it says 8, but I think their in-store pamphlet menu says 7:30. I also wish they stayed open later. :(“

“Terrific General Tso Chicken. The sauce has just a little heat to it and is a little sweet and flavorful. The fried rice has some veggies in it, and has good flavor on its own. The bourbon chicken is also good, basically the same as General Tso but the sauce has no heat and has just a little bourbon tinge. Three wontons in my soup, and it was delicious.“

“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.“

“We were looking for recommendations for lunch after we went to the zoo. We had delivery from this place probably 5 years ago and it was so good. I talked to my friends about revisiting today and boy I'm so glad we did! Not only did we have super size portions, The food was fantastic! I recommend anyone taking a trip to the zoo to check out Ninja grill afterwards for lunch!“

“This place has excellent food. It is very clean. The chicken is beautiful white meat. I absolutely love their chow mein and chop suey. My 10-year-old son who doesn't even like Chinese food loves this place. He said I would rate this place a 4.8“

“This place deserves a much better rating than what currently has! My family, including my “picky about ‘chewy’ chicken” wife, all love Magic Wok! It’s all fresh and well made, and their sauces flavorful without being just straight sugar. Highly recommend Magic Wok! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Chanced on this true gem last Friday with my kids. I did not have much expectations but was throughly blown away by the authenticity and quality of the food. I have not had a bowl of Wonton Noodle Soup that good since relocated to the US. Quality is comparable to HK standards. My kids had Pad Thai and Shanghai Cashew Chicken, they all loved their meals. This is truly a hole in the wall kind of restaurant, nothing fancy but pure good food. Thank you for making my day and we will be back real soon.“
