I've been coming here for well over 20 years now. This place has home style, authentic Chinese food. I don't know what people expect for $8-9. Great dishes, great portions and the best chow mein in the game. read more

Been going here since I was a kid and I'll go as long as they are open.bare bones menu but all the faves done right. Love love love this place. read more

If you ever looking for soup I recommend the wonton. As for everything else the meat looks very suspicious the rest of the food is alright. If your ever looking for something to make you feel uncertain eat here, I recommend the owners to give this place a revamp and some of the food too. read more

My favorite spot to eat Chinese food, if you read other reviews about bad stuff then they're clearly not from the area and expect some high class food for cheap lmao read more

CHEAP EATS HOLE IN THE WALL in SAN JOSE!!! Pros -CHEAP!! -VERY VERY GENEROUS -YUMMY -variety of dishes Cons -ghetto area -cash only -"restaurant" atmosphere read more

Wow. Even Mr. Chaus is better than this place. Thought I'd try it out since I live walking distance. Had the sesame chicken and the and the "bbq rib chicken". The chicken was really stale. The fried rice was good but that's pretty hard to screw up. I asked for salt and they gave me sugar. Seriously? Would I come back? Probably. This place is probably better than most other places in a 2 mile radius, but that's not saying much. read more

This place has been here for a long time. My mom used to bring us here all the time when I was a kid. They serve big portions and it's delicious. There veggie egg rolls are my favorite. read more

Only giving 1 because it won't let me give a review without a all I can say is health department needs to visit this place. I say just don't eat here it's so gross read more

CASH only and HUGE servings. I have only had the chow mein(loved it) and heard from others the meat options are alright. The service was fast and the women are adorable and friendly. Oh and it is super CHEAP. read more

Orient Express - So much food!!! - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

Been going here for years, food is great and they give you big portions for your money. If your a picky eater you won't like this place but if your open minded check this place out for sure. read more

Been coming here since I was 5, for the price and quantity it's a solid 4 stars. Place could use a little facelift but other than that great Chinese food. read more

Came here after an event I had in San Jose... I was really hungry and the house chicken was ON POINT :) Not the best looking place but if you're real hungry and low on cash, this is the spot. read more

i used to come here all the time when i was younger cause my brother in law used to work at sound system. i loved this place. they still give you food to the point you cant close the tray. BUT now they are getting cheaper and cheaper on the meat. how can you give my 2 piece of chicken in my Mongolian chicken? read more

Been going here since I was 8 and to this day it's the same people and god almighty this food is always delicious EVERY. SINGLE.TIME. I sadly live in Modesto now but I make sure I at least come here when I visit my family around the corner. read more

love coming here because the food is always good. this place is known for really packing as much food as they can into ur box. so its really an affordable place to eat at. the lemon chicken and 5 flavor chicken is hella bomb. only downside of the place is that it isnt really clean inside. always look for the old lady that wears the beanie, make sure she helps you out because she puts the most food. read more

I went there a couple of days ago and order showmein and house chicken and honey BBQ ribs.i Thought it was gonna be good. Well the showmein was an okay, Nothing special. But the rest it was nasty it tastes like rancid.i Really tried to like it but my tummy didn't pass it.what bothered me was that The Food Wasn't warm Enough.paid $6 for it and it felt like it was from hours ago or Maybe from morning.i think panda is way better then this. read more

Prices went up once again by $ 0.53 . . I really like the food here the thing is that every couple of weeks perhaps even months there's a jump in the price now its not supper ridiculous. 1 plate comes out to $ 6.48. I love their half rice/ chow mein Dai chin and Mongolian chicken. . read more

Lots of food for cheap. It's OK food that will do when I'm craving for some fast Chinese food. Like Vanessa U said, instant gratification.

1 star for not accepting cards for payment. ATM inside charges you $3.50 for taking $ out. Horrible. read more

Warning. They won't make you anything. You have to eat whatever is on their pans In the buffet. Can't figure out the difference between here and Panda Express. Came here for good chinese food. My mistake. read more

Garbage. Straight garbage health hazard food! The meat they use is either old or there's something wrong with it. I seriously had like 3 spoons of it and had to stop eating for fear of getting food poisoning. The smell of the meat tells me alone that they probably have food contamination going on. The inside is nasty too, I wonder how much worse is their backroom and storage. PLEASE DON'T EAT HERE FOR YOUR SAFETY! read more

I am so glad I find this place ! Their food is so good ! Especially the salt and pepper chicken and salt and pepper fish is the best of the world ! read more

This is the place to go if you're jonesing for some decent, inexpensive Chinese. It's nothin' spectacular, but you get lots of it for cheap. I'm a fan of the chicken salad. I've only ordered a small thus far, but they really stuff that little box full... which, in turn, results in a very stuffed me. Anyway, while this may not be my first choice for Chinese, I'd probably hit it up when I just don't feel like driving to Jade China. It's way closer to home and the food is already prepared, so it's good for those days I'm seeking instant gratification. read more

pot stickers OMG, big freshly made to order in a bout 7 mins so good so so so good! honey and BBQ boneless ribs, so freaking yummy weather you like garlic or mushrooms or Brocky orange lemon honey 5 spice spicy kun pow or what its all good! and best of all the chow main!!!! but you can pick from fried rice steamed rice or chow main, but realty get the chow main its the best, i have found no other place i like the chow main from, as much as this place. this is the place to go is u want to eat at to be full happy and have leftovers. they pack there boxs up with food and you can get a 3 peace item combo for under 9$s and i have eaten 2 to 3 meals off 1 combo box. sweet nice family owned and run, grate food, small place to eat in with only enough seating for 20 to 25 but a grate place to dash in get food to go and eat at home. O' and try the soup low cost and a big tub of yummy soup, when i am sick or not feeling well i have a friend get me soup from this place, and i feel better every time. cash only, there is a ATM inside, the foods worth is you can order a lot and feed a LOT of people on very little cost, i have fed a group of 4 for 28$s getting an assortment of food from this place to take home. its all good to eat, and they give you lots of it. o ya the" house chicken" , dripping good - makes me hungry thinking a bout it... read more

Fried rice is dry and not so good. Definitely recommend the house kitchen, it was the best. Nothing too special about it, overall average Chinese food. read more

The first Chinese restaurant that I actually like since moving to Cali. The portion was HUGE and the price was soooo CHEAP!! Food had great flavor definitely coming back ;-) read more

It was really good the first time I had it. The next two times was really whatever. I got a stomach ache the last time I ate there. Props for the large portions. The orange chicken sucks. Panda Express orange chicken is better and that orange chicken isn't that great either. No more oriental express for me. read more

Horrible food MSG MSG MSG. We ended up throwing it away after a few bites. HEALTH HAZARD IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! This place does not look sanitary AT ALL! Portions were indeed huge but food was so bad that it made Mr. Chaus seem like gourmet Chinese Food. You couldn't pay me to go back. You've been warned. read more

This place is my favorite place! It's super cheap and they pack on as much food as they can in your take out box. I can never fully finish my food cause i get full from so much. It really is a great place to eat when you are hungry and low on cash. The house chicken is a must have! read more

I just went to this place today just on the reviews on here. I wanted to try something new and close. I highly regret it. The service was good, hooked it up with chow mein but the food tasted horrible. I couldn't even finish my plate. I highly recommend going somewhere else. read more

Great food, not too expensive, the location itself isn't the best but yoy can always take it to go

Cash only, and they don't have an ATM machine. The place is not exactly clean, but you get more than your money's worth...in quantity, not exactly quality. read more

Good food at reasonable price. I love their rice, chow mein and house chicken...well I love all their food actually...People are sometimes a bit rude but overall good service. Customer since 2006. read more

First and last visit. I wouldn't normally write a review for this caliber food, but feel obligated to do a public service. If you are looking for Panda Express's dirty older brother, eat here. If your idea of chinese food is overcooked leathery meat in an oversweetened cornstarch thickened sauce, eat here. If you are into dirty grimey sauce splattered walls, dilapidated floor tiles, and eating among cases of unopened soda, then this is your spot. The boxes of food I saw going out from behind the sneeze gaurd were overflowing as if they had a product they needed to get rid of, two stars for portion size and low price. There is no wiping down of the tables with any regularity. You have to possess the stomach of a barbarian to eat more than a few bites. All the signs were there telling me no, but being starved and working in the area I went against my conscience. The prostitute patrolling the parking lot should have been all the message I needed, but no "sometimes the hole in the wall has the best food." I got the house chicken and honey ribs, based on other reviews. It took all off 2 bites for me to ask myself, "has life come to this?" Not possessing the will to ask the guy, serving food, for my money back I placed the box in the garbage. I walked past the clean Indian establishment wishing I had made a better decision. Even Jack In The Box would have served my stomach as good. read more

i've been going here since '97. best chinese food for the money. the best thing about this place is they pack in the food. their house chicken is the best. 5 flavor chicken, mushroom chicken, honey boneless, bbq boneless is also good. hell everything they have is good. cant go wrong with any combo. read more

I was surprised by the house of chicken. I finished all of it and have to take some to go. I love it! I don't know about other dish, but, you get to try the house of chicken. The honey sweet soy source is very unique and I can have a lot of it. Better than the orange chicken from Panda Express! read more

Probably the most disgusting Chinese food i've ever had. So nasty the chow mein is flavorless and the meats taste like they've been sitting out for days. The prawns are so greasy and doughy. The only positive thing is they give you lots of food, but you wont want to finish it. read more

OMG this is if not the best place to get fast Chinese food ever!!!!!! I'm a really big guy lol and i love the portion size i always get half half and both items i get sweet and sour pork and i add lots and lots of their hot sauce OMG another thing that is super awesome is they're hot sauce mmm its effing good. i usually get a dollars worth if you didn't know and your a fan or their hot sauce and the little containers of hot sauce aren't enough you can actually buy some from them you say "can i get a dollar of hot sauce" and they give you a good amount of it in a white big container. I've been coming here since i was a freshman in James Lick high in 2000 its now 2010 and i still go there, not as much as i would like because i moved to Fresno but every time i come to Shark city i stop at orient express on alum rock and stuff my face lol. i remember my friends and i used to skip school to go eat at orient express for lunch. BEWARE BEWARE the Orient express on king and McKee is not good at all don't go there eww nasty I'm used to orient express on alum rock. They don't give big portions and they DIDN'T have THE hot sauce that the one at alum rock has that was a deal breaker. So small portions and no good hot sauce so don't go there you will be disappointed!!! The only reason i stopped there was because i came to visit parents one time and was leaving to Fresno i was taking McKee to 101 and i saw orient express i was like hell yeah imma stop there its been a long time since i ate there. Damn the was the worst mistake ever. anyways the orient express on alum rock is the best hands down very cheap and very tasty I've tried everything on the menu but my fav is sweet and sour pork. I recommend this place to anyone who is starving has like 7 bucks or so and loves chinese food you wont be disappointed ill be orient express eater for life lol. "Love peace and chicken grease" read more

Been going here for years they serve delicious Chinese food, give out big portions and is not that expensive for what you get
