WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!! I wish I would've read the reviews before I went. Twice the price for half the phone at your typical Chinese restaurant next to a food lion. The food was average at best. This plate was almost 18 dollars

Called my order in and woman was nice and helpful. The menu i found online was 10yrs old. So I asked what price would be and she told me. 8 lumpia for like $12 so I was thinking hand made family made lumpia. Maybe I’m wrong but I swear I’ve bought this some ones at H&L before. So disappointed is and understatement. Dipping sauce was good. Now the Pancit is what I was excited about. ? I was told $19 and in a big box. Much larger than the combo that has 2 smaller servings is what I was told. So I was expecting a nice large order for nearly 20 bucks. Was barely up to the top and the noodles were all broken. She said pork , shrimp, and beef. I don’t think I saw one shrimp. Unfortunately poor taste , poor quality and not nearly enough for the price. And yes I’m a big guy. I have literally had pancit at half a dozen other restaurants in the area for $5-7 less and way better. Over $32 for a SMALL/large pancit and 8 tiny lumpia?? It was my first and last time going. Sorry not sorry. Good luck everyone and I hope your experience is better than mine truly. And no disrespect to them. Maybe I’m just being picky and fat lol. Either way ….

We refer to this place as "Market price chinese" The prices are made up and so are the portions. It's never been a good value, but the food is good. Dining in is pretty awful. The owner is rude and complains while you eat. If the price of a case of frozen chicken goes up a dollar the menu items prices are doubled and the portions halved. Its been this way for a decade or more and wont change anytime soon. I just get nostalgic about Oriental Cuisine and go here because it's the same family making the food and the only option left to have it.

The "lunch special" cost twice as much ($18) as it would at any other Chinese restaurant and i know because i travel all over the USA. You get 1/2 the size dish as you would elsewhere! They told me it was going to be worth it and I told them we will see...
In which it was only average. ?
I don't recommend you come here unless you just have extra money you want to throw away for average food!

This has been my go to Restaurant for phillipino food for the last 16 years. A family owned and run by husband and wife. Come once and you will be remembered for ever and what you ordered. The food is great.

Over priced and extremely rude! My family has been going to the oriental cuisine for 40+years since i was a kid! we were sad when they closed but excited to find their relative owns this restaurant and food is similar. we have been twice now and its always hot and cramped. But food was still pretty good. Sadly the service is not. My 72 year old mom and her friend went today for lunch and though the sign on door says they don't close until 7pm they were abruptly asked to leave by the owner stating they had stayed too long. There weren't other customers and plenty of empty tables. Sadly my family won't be back. My dad passed away about a year and half ago and to see my mom treated like that is unfortunate.

I’ve been going here since high school 20 years ago. The lumpia is crazy good! Not only is the Filipino food here delicious, the man and woman who run this place are very sweet. I definitely recommend checking out this hidden gem.

It only the best ?? philapino ?? food you can get on the east coast
Reminds me of all the food my mom made me as a kid and young adult
Here I am in my 40 still eating the world's best comfort food
Thanks auntie
