Oriental Kitchen is a popular Chinese restaurant, known for its tasty and fresh food, particularly the fried rice. The lunch buffet remains a favorite option for many, offering good value for money, especially for those who enjoy taking food home. Customers appreciate the variety of choices available during lunch hours, although vegetarian options are limited to just the fried rice and lo mein, and it is unclear if they are prepared separately from meat dishes. The restaurant has been around for quite a while and has changed locations a couple of times. Diners recommend going early to enjoy hot food, as it may not be as fresh later in the day. While the service can be inconsistent, with some servers more focused on personal activities than attending to customers' needs, many guests still enjoy dining in or filling to-go containers with their favorites, often getting multiple meals for a good price.
Recent reviews highlight that the food is usually fresh, although some feel it lacks bold flavors. The owner can sometimes come off as grumpy, but the waitstaff is often pleasant. Customers have praised specific dishes from the regular menu, such as the Shrimp with garlic sauce, which is noted for its kick and generous portions of shrimp, broccoli, and assorted vegetables. The dumplings have also received high praise for being delicately steamed and served with a spicy chili oil sauce. The Peanut Chicken is described as having a delicious peanut sauce that pairs well with chicken, although it is not spicy. Some customers noted that during busy times, it might be challenging to get through by phone, but they appreciated the secure packaging for takeout orders. Overall, many find the dining experience worth the visit, whether for the buffet or the regular menu offerings.
