About Oriental Express

The Oriental Express restaurant has been a long-standing establishment, known for its consistent quality and delicious Chinese cuisine. It remains a local favorite, offering generous portions and a charming, vintage-inspired atmosphere. Customers praise the kindness of the owners and the mouthwatering dishes that keep them coming back. The menu includes favorites like Mongolian beef, which comes with fried rice, and crispy egg rolls, crab wontons, and egg drop soup, which sometimes surprises with vegetables. One of the highlights is how the food is always cooked fresh in the wok, right in front of customers, creating a sizzling sound that adds to the experience. The Schezuan chicken and shrimp with fresh vegetables is cooked perfectly and very well seasoned with a light broth. The broccoli chicken is a popular choice, made with tender chicken, crisp broccoli, and a delicious sauce. The restaurant offers a no-frills dining experience, with the same family running it for as long as anyone can remember. Whether dining in, picking up, or having food delivered through DoorDash, the food is consistently hot, fresh, and full of flavor. This couple stands the test of time, offering very courteous and fast service. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are usually enough to make two meals. Oriental Express remains Richardson's hidden gem that continues to satisfy those looking for good authentic Chinese cuisine.
