The Oriental Hut has been in Mountain Grove for many years, and has outlived many other restaurants…read morethat have had to close their doors. The people are friendly. The food is good and reasonably priced. There's a salad bar that comes with the buffet. Both have yummy selections, although you might have to wait a bit for a buffet refill because the place gets swamped with diners at meal times. It's not a big restaurant so the buffet isn't stocked with several dozen entrees like some of the huge big city restaurants. I'm posting a review because somebody apparently thought the Oriental Hut is a Chinese restaurant and gave the restaurant a low rating. It's NOT a Chinese restaurant. It's a Chinese-American restaurant. Having dined in real Chinese Restaurants I can safely say there ls a BIG difference. I like both Chinese and Chinese-American. I'm not easy to impress, but I think it's a great little place if you're hungry and in the mood for Chinese-American food. Or if you just want a good salad. You can get a quick meal or you can linger for a while.

I hate to have to leave this review after finding out that the original owner has passed away, but…read morefor those looking to satisfy their craving of traditional Chinese food should pass on the Oriental hut. Years ago this place used to be a great experience as a teen my family would come here, and it would be a self-serve buffet of traditional take away Chinese dishes. There was soft serve ice cream for dessert. Sadly, now it is drive-through only with only a few entrées to select from. We ordered fried rice, sweet-and-sour shrimp, and one of the specials. The fried rice is what's pictured above and I have to say that this was not the fried rice that I'm used to. It had no flavoring of sesame oil. It had no green onions or carrots. It literally just had scrambled egg in with plain rice. This is a fundamental Chinese Takeaway dish that is easy to make; so I was shocked they got it so wrong. sadly our other dishes lacked in flavor and in quality so we'll have to say goodbye to the spot.

The food is fantastic & I'm just sorry I didn't give it a chance sooner. Fast and always good. Would highly recommend. FYI. I can't even comprehend some of the bad reviews on here. We order from here 2-3 times a month and it's NEVER been bad. And as to the comments about learning to speak "American", you obviously haven't a clue as to just how difficult the English language can be for native speakers and second language speakers. Heck, listen to some of us around here and it's like a foreign language. Man up! These are hardworking, American citizens; some of our fellow patriots ought to take a lesson in THAT.

I'm not sure how food safe that is. The deep fried one with shrimp inside had me gagging, and I was raised in a household where you eat whatever you're given, so I'm not picky. But the avocado inside was completely brown and it was just gross. Service was whatever.. neither friendly nor unfriendly. Pretty expensive for the poor quality, for two people it was nearly $40 after tip and the 4% charge on credit cards. They do have some cool interior design, but that's about it.
