I came to this Chinese takeout restaurant recently for lunch, and the food here was amazing. The beef was really fresh and tasty and the broccoli was as well. It had a good color to it and had a good bite not soggy or mushy at all, and tasted incredible and the staff is great with friendly service. The same goes for the egg drop soup which was also delicious. It was warm and flavorful, with a smooth broth and soft silky egg that made it really good.

This place is great. Honestly, this place is arguably one of the best Chinese takeout places. I have visited several times, and the food is consistent and very flavorful. The service was incredible, and the staff were incredibly friendly.
The items here have a large variety. The dumplings are stuffed and filled all the way. The price for the food is really reasonable and worth it for me for the great quality it offers.

Oriental Express is a small, budget-friendly Chinese restaurant in Charlottesville. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food is excellent. Their homemade dumplings are a must-try, and the Hot Sour soup is the best around. The restaurant offers piping hot food with crispy, fresh vegetables and generous portions. The spicy pork lo mein, shrimp and vegetable, and wonton soup are highly recommended. The lunch specials provide good value, though the prices are a bit higher than average, with two entrees and fried rice costing around $46. While there is no traditional atmosphere, as it is a counter service place with covid guards and supplies stacked in the main room, the service is friendly and efficient. This restaurant is a top choice for delicious Chinese takeout in Charlottesville.
