Orange Chicken Express - 2 item combo - Chinese Near Me - Temple City, California

Hi , I hadn't been there since around 2009. I liked the old owners , they were friendlier. I had the orange chicken with bar b q pork. But the bar b q pork tasted old , it was hard ( and didn't have the reddish bar b q sauce ) like other places use. She gave me some type of clear , sweet sauce for it. But the orange chicken was good. read more

COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my food from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is pretty big because they share the lot with many other establishments. I have been coming here for over 20 years. Never had an issue with parking. Also, some parking spaces are wider than others. So be careful where you park. Food: I ordered two sides of orange chicken and half chow mein and half chow fun. For $13.16, I thought it was worth it. Portions are huge. The orange chicken was golden, crispy, crunchy, and bite sized fried chicken coated in a very sweet, yet tangy and savory orange sauce. Soooooo yummy. The chow mein noodles were cooked al dente, which was perfect for me. It had boiled carrots and cabbage. The noodles, carrots, and cabbage were cooked in soy sauce, so it was a bit salty, but not overly salty. It was delicious. The fried rice was made with rice, soy sauce, eggs, onions, carrots, and peas. It was a very simple and savory dish. You can never go wrong with their fried rice. Staff: The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. I remember when I first came here, they were a cash only store. Now they finally accept credit cards without a service charge or minimum. Yay! read more

Taste even better than Panda Express. They give you a lot! Super nice staff. I got their chow mein, orange chicken, and beef broccoli and they are absolutely delicious. Their prices are really affordable too. They also do party trays, which I will definitely consider next time read more

I pass by Orange Chicken Express all the time when I go to GW Supermarket. The interior is pretty old school. I came in two hours before the closed and they still were making fresh batches of food. Like the name of the place, they indeed sell orange chicken. I got a plate of their noodles, beef and broccoli and orange chicken and the pork ribs with a side of eggroll. Service was good and the portions were humongous. Can easily split it into two meals. read more

was not impressed chow mein full of msg. I only wanted one item with it and the lady forced me to buy two items, why can't i just buy 1? She poured a very well portion on a man's plate but very little on mine. 15$ plate. will not be back. RE: they lied to you because nothing was explained to me. she just said no to me ordering one item. She didn't even speak a lot of english. Stop lying read more

Coming in I was greeted by staff, very friendly, service was quick and friendly. The restaurant is nice and clean and very well lit.. it's your typical fast food Chinese restaurant.. food was good. It was great leftover too! read more

Friendly service, lots options! I got the 3 items plate for $12.99. The lady was very generous with the food and packed me a big heavy plate enough for 2 people. The orange chicken had good flavor and crunchy, eggplant with tofu and mixed veggies, paired well with the fried rice. The food had good flavor, not oily, would order again or even try their family meal for the next family dinner time. read more

My sisters family loves this place. To us this is like Panda Express. It's Chinese fast food. Noodles are meh. Kung pao chicken had lots of veggies and hardly any chicken. The best thing was beef with broccoli because they made it fresh. Orange chicken was good too and not as bready as Panda Express. That being said it had been sitting down a little soft and soggy. read more

HUGE portions and very friendly staff! For sure get the orange chicken, chowmein, and shrimp! My client has been a regular here for years and I can definitely see why when they put me in on this spot! Will definitely be coming back again! read more

1 Star - Disappointing and Deceptive I really wanted to like Orange Chicken, especially with how amazing everything smelled when I walked in. But unfortunately, that's about where the positives end. The restaurant itself is oddly lifeless--there's no color, no atmosphere, and even the food photos on the menu look washed out and unappetizing. That should've been my first clue. When I ordered, the portions looked generous at first, but it quickly became clear it was all an illusion. I tried several dishes--string bean chicken, king pao chicken, and beef and broccoli--and they were all the same: 99% vegetables, barely any meat. They even cut up little vegetables to look like it might be protein when there's barely any. I'm not exaggerating--it was like they were hiding scraps of protein among mountains of soggy green beans and limp broccoli. To make matters worse, the food itself was drying out under heat lamps, giving everything that overcooked, stale texture. It felt like I was being served leftovers from an already disappointing buffet. I'm giving this place 1 star in my mind, and honestly, I don't think places like this should be allowed to continue operating. It feels like a scam: enticing smells, full trays, but nothing of real substance on the plate. Skip it. You--and your wallet--deserve better read more

Been eye'ing this place every time I go to the gym and finally mustered up the energy and the hunger to go! Was pleasantly surprised.. The lady helping me was soooo nice, not very talkative but eager to help. The food itself was flavorful, not greasy and let's talk a minute about the portion sizes. Amazing portions! I could barely close the lid when taking bites on the ride home. read more

every time i come in here- it's always a warm welcome and a smile on their face! the portions are well worth the money, the made-to-order items are FIRE. Please try the salt and pepper shrimp (not pictured here) and their coconut shrimp (in picture)! i came in right as they opened since i woke up craving Orange Chicken Express and i was not disappointed! *a tip: order some sesame balls for a nice sweet bite finale read more

I've see this place every time I go to Super 8 and kept telling myself that I should try the food because I am a fan of orange chicken and I try to support small businesses. So, I finally went in and got a 3-item combo. Like some viral videos on social media, Orange Chicken really packs in a lot of food into the containers (and you don't need to record them like at Chipotle). Of course, I got the orange chicken which was good. Different than Panda but good and less batter. Also got the beef with green beans and the eggplant and tofu with just the chow mien. They're what you expect from a place like Orange Chicken and I'd say a 2-item combo is enough food for two people. I'd focus on the proteins next time as another customer ordered and had to wait for teriyaki chicken which looked good so next time may just be a 2-item combo with chow mien plus orange chicken and teriyaki chicken. Check out my pics of all the food available on my visit (minus the aforementioned teriyaki chicken). read more

I came to Orange Chicken this evening, for a casual, cheap dinner. My family and I have all been to Orange Chicken Express, and I really enjoy the place. I got Combo B, with half and half fried rice and chow mein, and two sides. (Which, I chose black pepper beef, and, of course, orange chicken.) I also got a side of two veggie eggrolls, all for $15. In my opinion, the food is good, and that perfect American Chinese food one craves. It's was quite empty in there, so it was just my mom and I. It's a nice little place, and you can sit down, but I chose not to. The interior is clearly vintage, but not in a bad way. I actually quite enjoy the baby blue tiled walls, and the large mirror covering one of them. The service is always quick and friendly. Not to mention, they absolutely load up the plate. If you want a lot of bang for your buck, I definitely recommend Orange Chicken. read more

Orange Chicken Express - Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Black Pepper Beef, and Orange Chicken. Could literally feed a family. - Chinese Near Me - Temple City, California

For what it is (fast food take-out chinese), this is great. Food is far from gourmet but definitely hits the spot. Food is flavorful enough and not over salted. The orange chicken is crispy and veggies are not overcooked so they still have texture and crunch. And the portions - they are omg huge. I think one $11.99 (2 item) plate can feed 3-4 people. Such good pricing is rare these days. Service is efficient and I can't say much about ambiance as it's a take out place. Would definitely come back to for a quick cheap eat! read more

this place has always been on my radar but never really had the incentive to try it. but low and behold decided to stop in one day after work and frankly i'm kind of sad i didn't stop by earlier. place is ran by a friendly group of people who really know how to serve you. if you're hungry, they will hook you up. ain't no skimping here. the biggest shocker for me was the fried rice. it tasted very similar to restaurant quality and i would have never guessed it came out of a takeout joint in a strip mall. all in all, solid food. large quantities and great taste, and this is coming from an abc who grew up in the 626. read more

Orange Chicken Express - three item combo - Chinese Near Me - Temple City, California

I've been coming here for years, but unfortunately I won't be anymore. I found maggots in my food, which was so shocking and upsetting. I've never had an issue with the food or service until now. After noticing the maggots in my beef and broccoli, I went back the same day to show them the plate. They offered to give me another plate of food, but I kindly declined and asked for a refund instead. The employee who always greeted me so nicely when I walked in gave me a really nasty attitude when I asked for a refund. Not once was I rude or disrespectful when explaining the situation, but one of the employees got angry and yelled at me for something that wasn't even my fault (even threw the money on the counter). Anyway, I'm extremely disappointed, and even more so with the way the interaction was handled. read more

Still a great spot! Used to come here all the time when I was younger. Just moved back to LA and started my business so I thought I'd drop off my business card and grab a plate. I love the noodles and the orange chicken is solid. The one comment I'd make (and this is just personal preference) is I'd love if there was more cabbage in the chow mein. That's just me though! Overall, good food and great portions. Will definitely be coming by more often now that I live here again read more

First time coming here and trying it out. Right when I walked in I was greeted happily by the employees which really makes you feel welcomed. The establishment is spotless, the tables and floors were very clean. I ordered the orange chicken and eggplant with tofu along with some chow mien and fried rice and a Thai ice tea. The food is great, orange chicken is good and crispy. The eggplant with tofu has a good flavor to it and isn't soggy. The chow mien and rice is cooked perfectly. The Thai ice tea was made well, not overly sweet and it comes in a sturdy tall plastic container. The portions they give you is more than enough. They really hook you up. I don't know how she packed all that food in this little styrofoam container with the 3 spaces but she did. I couldn't finish the entire thing. I'm definitely coming back to try the rest of the items! Great food and service! read more

It's average. average taste, average portion, average everything. But it's quick to order and receive. They portion control it very well.

My food was very tasty, Hot, and flavourful!!! The ladies were very Friendly and helpful! The ambiance was quiet!

Support your local Chinese takeout! Once you've ordered here, you will never go back to Panda Express!! Here they do not weigh their portions and you will never go hungry. I'm always so impressed with the portions they give you. Anywhere else they literally weigh your portions and your container for your third item would literally have air on top. Here your third item they've got a tape down lol. When it opens, it's like a jack in the box of goodness coming out from that container. The portions are so generous that you can actually have two meals! I personally like to have all fried rice and save for the next day to refry it and add a couple of eggs. Is the best Chinese Food ever? I would give it a solid 7 out of 10. But you can't come here and not have the orange chicken, considering the name of the spot is. Orange chicken ! read more

Love coming here. But today was not a positive experience as I noticed one of the servers (younger female) was coughing without covering her mouth while serving. She didn't even turn away from the food while coughing. read more

In response to a posting I saw that was about a few days old, orange chicken increased their prices. The 3-item combo is now $14.xx (which is $15.90 w/ tax). The food is pretty tasty, though the fried rice was rather bland. If this was still $12 for the 3 item combo, then this would have been a place I frequent -- but I guess everyone is riding the inflation train. read more

$9.99 for a 2-item combo - can't beat their prices in this economy!! The food was delicious and exactly what I was expecting. Orange chicken was crispy with enough sauce, the breading was done well. They use thicker noodles for their chow mein which I liked. Their mushroom chicken was surprisingly a hit for me as well. Honestly, can't go wrong with Orange Chicken Express if you're looking for Chinese American fast food. Will definitely come back! read more

Food was ok at best and I was happy that they were open on Christmas Day but I've definitely have had better

The orange chicken beats panda -when it's FRESH- buut it has a shorter halflife just like how 7-11 pizza has a half life that's faster than other places like the Hut or Doms. The old ladies are nice but asking for fresh they just took it to the back and made more and the older lady did this trick where she scooped the older stuff in your box -from the bottom- of the tray instead of actually giving me any of the new stuff on top. I thought it didn't matter. Until all the chicken pieces are cold when I went for them ten minutes later. Not cool. The stuff other reviewers say about food being old is true. Chicken teriyaki I had was dry and hard almost like jerky. They wanted to put the teriyaki on top but that's the way to hide how old it is to drown it in sauce and hope that remoisturizes it. So stay on them like a hawk for that behavior. Price now is 13.99 for three items. 11.99 for two. It's not worth the third item that comes in a TINY boxed container. It's about as small as panda's third item. The lady packed in a couple extra pieces knowing what she did and that I didn't complain about it but it was wrong of her to be that way to me. I forgot why I myself and others stopped going. Before the pIandemic it used to be very busy. They need to cook smaller portions or cook to order instead of having food just wait around. It takes like 5-10 mins to make new and when it's slow they need to do this or the food isn't good. Literally only a half hour ago there were several people inside before I went to pick up some grocery items next door. How the orange chicken got so old so fast is beyond me. Maybe the others didn't get it and it was an hour old. You kind of can tell looking at it because the breading is all soggy. Owner Zhiwei is always in the back staring at you through the little window. Not a customer welcoming look. More like a he's unhappy look. For $15 you can do a LOT better elsewhere. read more

Nice Chinese fast food place offering 1, 2, or 3 entree combos. I've been here 3 times and each time the food was very good. The portions are more than generous for the price. I always get the chow mein, orange chicken and usually the string beans with chicken. It's hard to find a decent Chinese fast food place besides the big chain. Give it a try and support local small businesses. read more

Orange Chicken Express - Starting to split the meal into 2 portions - Chinese Near Me - Temple City, California

Orange Chicken Express is one of those restaurants that you have to give them their flowers while they are open because these types of restaurants are far and few between. The best item here is the orange chicken. When it is freshly fried and smothered in that sauce. All the dishes are good. The chow mien is thicc. I usually get half and half fried rice and chow mien but im going to stick to just chow mien next time. The eggplant is good. the kung pao chicken is also good. Of course the egg rolls and chicken wings. I like their thai tea too. Overall: Will return for their orange chicken and chow mein read more

Great Food, great service. Will definitely return. Not a big fan of the plants that are in here by the counter. Music would be nice or if they had a TV that would make the place feel more comfy. read more

I like that food. It has a reasonable price as well. Nice staffs too. I recommend this place. Thanks read more
