Every bite exceeded my expectations, and you can really tell they take pride in what they serve. The staff was just as impressive--friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment I walked in.

If you're looking for a place with incredible food and a warm, inviting atmosphere, I highly recommend Oriental Express. I'll definitely be back! Delivery local and speedy!

Fried rice was alright, the general chicken was tender and well sauced but not spicy at all. Good flavor minus heat. The spring roll was light and flakey and I didn't care for the Rangoon.

When you walk in all you smell is delicious food coming from the kitchen. We came during lunch so it wasn't to busy. We had a great waiter who made sure our drinks were full the whole time.

When you first enter it…read morelooks almost the same: spacious with really tall ceilings, the same buffet fixtures and dining room, only cleaner than before. But the recipes are not identical and the quality seems a step or two higher and fresher. Many attractive salad and fruit options. And the main buffet was kept refreshed and clean. Lots of beef, chicken and seafood dishes, all with a balance of the proteins and vegetables. Soups tasted fresh without mushy over cooked vegetables and good flavor. Standouts to us: The marinated grilled meat on skewers The Japanese chicken The baked crab But really everything we sampled was good. Even the desserts which Chinese buffets don't normally excel at. We did not make it to the sushi or hibachi grill although everything looked fresh when I walked past it. My soft drink was well balanced between carbonation and syrup (I hate it when restaurants water down sodas or don't mix the carbonation right). We left full and pleased as our check was less expensive than any fast food lunch for two costs!

Just had a food order that was messed up. Not really that big of a problem because those things happen, we are all human. I had things that were left off my order and didn't find out until I got home and started eating. I called the restaurant back and let them know what the issue was and was taken care of with the promise that they would take care of it. They took my name and he pulled up my order for verification. He said they would replace the missing items when I came back. This was from one of the employees. Very nicely handled. But... When I went back the next day with my receipt, the owner was not in so they could not give me my missing items from the order that I had already paid for. The girl there was nice enough to call the owner. but he wouldn't allow them to make the food. He wanted me to wait until he returned or to come back again. Unbelievable! I've owned several businesses and this is the worst way to handle it. All for about eight dollars worth of food!! If he has long-term paying customers that he treats like this, I wonder how he treats his employees? He does go through a lot of of them. I hope the owner reads this and realizes what a jerk he has been and what a huge mistake he made! Check your order before you leave!

Thought it'd be a fun little twist during our trip--but when I asked, the staff flat-out refused and looked at me like I was making it up. Look, I get it. Secret menus are, well... secret. But the way they shut it down made me feel awkward for even asking. No explanation, no attempt to offer something creative or even just polite customer service. Just a hard no. The food was fine. It's Panda Express, so we weren't expecting gourmet--but this definitely wasn't the kind of vacation memory I wanted.

The chicken was so old and hard neither me or other recipient could chew it. So I called and it had only been about an hour since I left. They told me to leave name and number and I would get a call back. Its now 3 hours after that call and no call. I guess what they pull out of the buffet and let sit for days is what comes from their kitchen. So the only way to get fresh and hot here is to eat there and only off the buffet.
