This place is solid and a great value for the money. Very nice and clean place. The staff is very attentive. And the food each time has been very good. Those little crab Rangoon's....maybe small but they taste really good. A good little place. read more

We love this neighborhood gem. It's one of our favs to show family when they are visiting.

Amazing restaurant! They have a large selection and the food is always great. They do not use food products with MSG, which makes this place a great option for those who are sensitive to it. Prices are very reasonable and you get a good serving of food. They are very fast with both dine in and carry out orders. The restaurant is always very clean. The owner and staff are very friendly. I've never had a bad experience! read more

I've had the same exact experience as Garrett B. Only I've been in late evening. The food and service have been consistently good read more

I get orange chicken every time! soooo yum. 2 crab rangoons no egg roll. General chicken is 2nd Chicken friend rice is 3th I'm sure every other thing is good haha read more

If you like microwave stuff.. This is the place to go. Fast service cuz of most of it being microwaved and precooked. Small buolding but inside is not bad. Food wise.. Do not waste your money! read more

Ordered the vegetable lo mien while at my hotel. Delivery was prompt. Spring rolls were mushy on inside & they tasted like the oil needed to be changed. Lo mien also tasted 'funny' so did not eat dish. Was disappointed since the reviews were good. Maybe it was just what I ordered. read more

Food is good but...the problem I had was that the order total on this site was different than the total charged on my cc. I searched for Chinese food on maps on my phone and found this restaurant. I selected "order online " for delivery and placed an order. the site indicated Yelp. when I called the restaurant because it took a while, they could not find my order but found it using my cell# and said it was a Grubhub order. that was not indicated on the site. needless to say the total was $20 more than the total on the site. The receipt with the order indicated the total from the site. just wrong!!!! read more

I've been exploring Springfield some and decided to try this place looking at the photos and quality reviews! I ordered the general tso chicken extra spicy with vegetable lo mein and it was so delicious. The general tso chicken was probably the best I've ever had like it was literally more chicken than the breaded stuff around it which you can't find anywhere else. The only thing I didn't like as much about the lo mein was their choice in noodles. I like the thicker and softer ones than the ones they used. However, the flavor was still very good. This place is located so close to where my nursing program is so I'll definitely be back there chowing down. read more

I haven't written a review for a long time because I haven't had an experience that stood out enough to warrant one. I've been to New Oriental for lunch several times now and can confirm that it's not a fluke. The quality of the food and service, combined with the value make it an easy 5 stars. Hands down, one of the best $10 lunches you can get and it may be my favorite crab Rangoon in town! read more

Best Chinese food in this town. Love the sesame chicken with the rice and two crab rangoons instead of the spring roll. It's flavorful, great texture, quality meat, always made well and doesn't seem too unhealthy. The bubble tea (mango specifically) is great too, if you want to treat yourself. The people who work here are always nice and friendly. The location is really good for the college students in the north of town. They also deliver if you don't want to leave your place to go to the restaurant (must be at least a $12 order). I love this Chinese food place and it's my all time favorite, even though it is fairly new. They started strong and consistently bring the quality. read more

Update, went to eat leftovers and found a piece of steel wool in my beef and veggies. Wow. Never order from this place. Not only do they have terrible and rude service. They have created a health hazard for me and who knows how many more patrons. The steel wool strand can be seen on the beef. read more

These crab Rangoon are the only ones I approve of as a person from stl. The chicken fried rice changed my life.

Best Chinese delivery in the area!! Friendly staff, quick service and the food was beyond amazing. This will be our go to Chinese place from now on. Portion sizes were amazing, the food quality was great, and the flavor was absolutely perfect. read more

New Oriental Restaurant - Orange chicken - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

The reviews online do not do this business justice. From the moment we walked in the service, quality and flavors were superior at the least! I've tried most restaurants serving similar options in Springfield and this is the best I have ever had! You will not be disappointed if you give this restaurant a try whether you are dining in or choosing takeout. read more

The inside is a lot nicer and bigger than anticipated! The crab Rangoon is really good. The server was running the take outs, phone, and serving everyone dining in and he did a really good job. My only complaint is we ordered the sweet and sour chicken and cashew chicken. It's the same chicken. They just put cashews on top of the cashew chicken. All the sauces are on the side so I just wished maybe having the cashew chicken cooked in the sauce a little bit. On the plus side, you can tell the chicken is made in house so that's good! read more

honey chicken is fire. lo mein is fire. goons are fire but lowkey small. Egg rolls fire. overall fire

Really mixed feelings here. Nice, clean place. The gentleman who waited on us was very pleasant. I explained that I was told that his restaurant had Chow Mein, which, for me has been hard to find in Springfield, MO. He said he had good vegetable chow mein and I asked if his was served with crispy noodles. He assured me that that's what I would get. We both ordered Pork Chow Mein with fried rice. Well. We got plates of delicious chow mein vegetables in a flavorful light sauce but, no crispy stir fried noodles. What? He did give us each a small bowl of, what looked and tasted like those crispy fried onions which grocery stores carry. Huh? Well, bottom line.. The chow mein vegetables and sauce were great but, no noodles? Fairly far from where we live so I don't think we will purposely drive across town for no-noodle chow mein again. read more

Service is always friendly and fast. Cashew Chicken has always been fresh and delicious and crab Rangoon is amazing!!

This was my first time to eat from this restaurant. I am not likely to return. I had their Szechuan chicken and asked that it be extra spicy. It was not very spicy. However it was good. The fried rice was not eatable. The crab rangoon was delicious. The spring roll was very small and while it wasn't terrible. I would not recommend it. The staff were very pleasant and the food was prepared quickly. read more

I love their cashew chicken! The chicken is perfect and not heavily breaded. But the sauce is the deal. If I'm by myself, I will drink the remaining sauce like it's soup. Okay, I will do this unashamedly in front of others too. The mai fun noodles are a go to as well. Everything tried to date has been solid. read more

Decided to try New Oriental Restaurant on the advice of a co-worker. The restaurant is located 5 minutes from where I work, that seemed convenient. So my order was; Hot and Sour Soup, and the lunch special of General Tso Chicken. The lunch special comes with an egg roll, a Crab Rangoon and Fried Rice. Hot and Sour Soup; loved the fact that it was loaded with mushrooms, and I think shredded chicken or pork... couldn't tell. The broth wasn't like most, you know that thick light brown almost gravy broth. This was actual broth, but there wasn't any flavor. It was spicy, because of all the red pepper flakes, but overall no flavor. It almost seemed like the broth may have been watered down. I give their soup a C- Egg Roll, not sure I would call it an egg roll. It was more like a spring roll. Flavor was on the sweet side, but nothing special. C Crab Rangoon was good, had good flavor, but it wasn't any more special than other restaurants Rangoon. A Tso Chicken, they state that it is a spicy dish with a red pepper on their menu. I found zero spicy, didn't even see any red pepper flakes or sliced red peppers as you might normally see in Tso Chicken. No green or red bell peppers or onions. Flavor was sweet, which Tso shouldn't be. This was no Tso Chicken I have ever had. C Fried Rice, again C no carrots or peas in the rice just rice. Overall if you are in a rush this is a great place to order. I called in my order and was told 15 minutes. I arrived at the restaurant 5 minutes after calling, and my order was just coming out of the kitchen. A+ on speedy cooking, which might be the reason they aren't scoring very high in my book on flavor. My fear is that most of their dishes are pre-made "Sysco" food distribution recipes. All they are doing is heating and serving, no real cooking. This is all a guess, and I could be wrong. If they are actually cooking.... yikes! If you like fast food Chinese and aren't picky about flavor, i would recommend this place. If you do like flavor, travel a little farther west on Chestnut to another Chinese restaurant, it will be on your right at the corner of N Campbell Ave and Chestnut. read more

Love this place! 1) They deliver. 2) They have Boba Tea 3) The chicken isn't just fried chicken pretending to be Chinese food. 4) They are always super friendly! My only complaint is the fried rice which is a bit dry. It is much better the next day and the dinner plate is enough for dinner and lunch the next day so it is never a problem! read more

I love this place. The food is great, best general chicken in town. The wontons are great. I am very picky about Chinese restaurant. This place cuts the chicken up in smaller pieces. This place is a very clean restaurant read more

Very good cashew chicken with egg roll and crab rangoon. Quick service. Decent prices (lunch deal was $6.50 or so for a meal) Most importantly, across the road from Drury. Might be my new quick pop-in place after class. read more

Wow! What a pleasant surprise! We got the menu in the mail and wanted to try the lunch special for a decent price and the food is very fresh and tasty! I got the general tso's chicken, and while many places don't give you the good cuts of the chicken, we got some of the best cuts! Very tender and good to the last bite. The crab Rangoon that came with it and spring roll had above average breading! Absolutely amazing texture for both! We will be back :) read more

Lo Mein was cold, chicken was salty. Had the food delivered and even tipped 5$ thinking the food would be well worth it. Very disappointed may I say the least if I could give it a 0 I would read more

Always on the search for new Asian spots, I was thrilled to see this place open up within delivery service of work. The only questions was would it be worth it. The answer is a resounding yes! We went for a later lunch around one and only saw one other couple so they weren't too busy. The service was fast and pleasant although there might have been a little barrier. What made my visit so good was some of the best orange chicken I have ever had. The sauce really had a great orange flavor and a small amount of heat that made it terrific. Also the chicken which had very little breading on it so you were eating mainly chicken and not a mouth full of fried batter. I was really impressed. My lunch partner had the generals chicken and he enjoyed his as well although he wanted a little more spice. What keeps this from a five star were two things. The hot and sour soup was neither. It was vary bland and not something I would ever order again. Also the fried rice while good in texture lacked any real flavor. The can also spruce up the walls in the place too as it has that too new spartan look to it. As noted on other reviews the parking is an issue and getting into the place from Chestnut is tough but I would say if you like any type of Asian style fried chicken entree this is a place to go. read more

Order for delivery, the person who took the order was complicated and have a hard time getting my phone number and address correctly. I put my order in and they say it will be between 30-45 min. I got my food in 25 min I order Shrimp Mei Fun and General Tso's Chicken. The food was still warm. That's a good thing and got my delivery in 25 min. But the food was not good at all. The flavor is not correct and the shrimp mei fun was plain and no flavor what so ever and I asked for spicy and it wasn't spicy at all. I tip the delivery guy 3 bucks. read more

Clean, polite service and the food was exceptional!! Orange chicken and spring rolls were hot and fresh.

I disappointed today because I love the food here at new oriental I'd give them a four or five on the food but today I went to pick up my order and the white blonde young girl behind the counter that took my payment was coughing and wasn't warring her mask and making a joke out of it, she had a banana but it was around her neck and there was another customer about two feet from her face not warring a mask, with what is going on with the virus and people getting sick and dieing i don't think it's funny what so ever! read more

To get in there is a pain in the ass there's one way and one way out very small parking lot very small restaurant very clean restaurant bathrooms were immaculate the only thing is I didn't smell like a Chinese restaurant the food was OK read more

This business sucks for delivery. I ordered my food at 11:20 at 3 o'clock I finally got my food and had to pay for it. Then he couldn't get my credit card to go through his machine. So I had to ask my boss for money out of petty cash to pay for it. I will never recommend anyone to go to this place and I will never eat here ever again. read more

How can I explain it without exaggerating or without undercutting this food. I always travel around the USA and try to find the best Asian Cuisine. This Chinese food was one of THE BEST I have had. The garlic chicken was a little under seasoned but the crisp vegetables and perfectly cooked chicken made up for it. The General tso's was THE BEST I have ever had. It was perfected cooked and glazed in a nice sauce and the chicken was cooked to perfected. Not chewy and not hard, it was perfect. read more

Really delicious food, delivered quickly to our hotel room. I had Schezchuan brocolli, and the brocolli was very fresh and cooked perfectly, and the sauce was tasty, not too salty or oily. No msg. (Could haven been hotter but that's just me). My husband had tofu countrystyle and loved it. Great options for vegans and vegetarians, and for omnivores too. read more

You'll be glad you tried it! Don't let the humble appearance of the building fool you; their excellent food is worthy of an elegant restaurant. Generous portions, we enjoyed Orange Chicken with rice and their Chicken Mei Fun, a delicious noodle dish. Good egg rolls, too. Already looking forward to our next dining experience there; BRAVO, New Oriental!!! PS, as another review stated, it's got limited parking but worth your effort if you have to park elsewhere and walk. read more

I had the "fun noodles " no meat, was very good also had the Tofu but the portion was huge, I couldn't eat it all. Very good food and excellent service. read more

I always get new oriental and their prices are pretty nice compared to the amount of food you get. I usually get the general Tso chicken dinner meal. Comes with a lot of chicken rice and a spring roll and crab Rangoon. Food also doesn't take long to be made. I'll call and pick it up 10 minutes later read more

The is by far the best Chinese restaurant in Springfield! The amount of food you get for the price is amazing. They also do lunch specials from 11-2:30 which makes it even better of a deal. I also really like that I can get bubble tea here read more
