I’ve been eating at Oriental Express in Richardson for over 20 years, and it’s still my favorite spot for Chinese food. The broccoli chicken is my go-to—always made with tender chicken, crisp broccoli, and that same delicious sauce I’ve loved for decades. One thing that sets this place apart is how the food is always cooked fresh in the wok, right in front of you. You can literally hear it sizzling as they prepare your order, and it makes all the difference in taste and quality. Whether I’m dining in, picking up a to-go order, or having it delivered through DoorDash, the food is consistently hot, fresh, and full of flavor. After all these years, Oriental Express still feels like a hidden gem that never lets me down. This is a no-frills dinning experience, don't judge a book by its cover on this one, the same family has been running it for as long as I can remember.
I went there today for the first time in 30 years (takeout). It was terrific. I had the lunch special with almond chicken. Absolutely HUGE portion size. Tasted just as I remembered. It was nice and clean, prompt service, friendly people. I'll definitely be back.
Very good - not Americanized Chinese food You know it’s good when the place is packed with Asian folk and you’re the only white person there. Hot and sour soup is packed with vegetables, great mushroom base (for the review below about it not being yellow/the yellow is an additive/hot and sour is mushroom base with cornstarch. this place doesn’t use color additives except possibly sweet and sour sauce) Mandarin beef is definitely good Not really salty Just a great taste My friend from mainland China used to fix dishes for me.. very similar It’s just not Americanized like peiwei or whatever Thumbs up
I've been coming here since I was 4 yrs old with my family. I'm 26 now and this is still my favorite restaurant to this day. I bring all of my friends here at least once to try their amazing food. I hope this place never closes. The owners are so kind and gentle, and their food never disappoints. I absolutely love the mural on the wall too. Great place. 10/10
We have loved this local Chinese place for over 20 years and the little family that runs it. Good old fashioned Chinese food at a decent price. Our family take out go to!
Update: they have the best chicken wings in town! I have enjoyed the food here for years as Oriental Express has weathered several up and down business cycles because it is very good! I particularly enjoy #25, green bean garlic pork. The egg rolls are great. My wife likes the shrimp with lobster sauce. You can get hot mustard in the refrigerator to your right as you wait in line to order.
Good food and great service just that the meat portions are small but other than that good flavor and make fresh. The lady that took our order was so kind.
I’ve been going to this place since I was literally a baby and the quality has always remained consistent. Their portions are big so you can get a lot of bang for your buck, and the food is absolutely delicious!! I order it about once a week. It’s really the only place around I order from since I’m quite picky with my Chinese food. Five stars all around! I also love the decor of the restaurant. It’s very vintage and quaint.
