My family and I have come here for a long time, and it's always been great! I'm glad this place is around!

The twice-cooked pork was decent and so was the rice. The fried rice and the egg drop soup were delicious, but the sushi was just okay since it could've used some more rice vinegar in the sushi rice. Overall, I would order from them again just that I'll go elsewhere for sushi. read more

Food was delicious and service excellent. I had the orange peel chicken and the portion was enough to have leftovers to take home.

Rainy day Asian food run! The serving sizes are not the traditional chinese take out, and perhaps the cook called out sick today? The combo fried rice offered 4 shrimp, and chewy beef. The Szechuan chicken... well it was overcooked, looked like it was repurposed from a steamed chicken dish and the broccoli was overly steamed and twice beaten. See photo for the poor plating and serving size. I didn't photograph the small soup...it is exactly that...a small teacup size portion of soup. The Szechuan sauce was not a traditional brown sauce and was a runny, thin liquid. The best part of the meal was the egg rolls. Decent size and crispy on the outside. Perhaps the Japanese and Thai dishes might be a better choice next time? You tell me...should I give the other menu items a chance? read more

My General Tso's Chicken had too much breading and the pieces were small. Everyone else enjoyed their food. The service was good, the restaurant I don't have very good lighting. read more

Starting off with appetizers, we ordered calamari, gyoza, and takoyaki. The appetizers were hot but the takoyaki was too mushy on the inside, and the gyoza and calamari were mediocre at best. Food tasted as if it was packaged and right out of the freezer, not fresh at all. For mains we ordered salmon nigiri, tempura shrimp roll, and the eel bento box. Firstly the salmon nigiri was only one small piece of salmon for 5 dollars, and for the price you would expect the salmon to be somewhat fresh and have a decent color. The shrimp tempura was drenched in eel sauce which made the roll soggy. The bento box was not filling at all, the rice was cold and dry, the unagi was sliced thinly and the sauce was not good at all. The tempura might have been the best part of the bento box honestly. The waiter was nice, but lacked service. Overall, majority of the food was room temperature, everything tasted old, and the menu is just too big to have any dish really stand out. read more

Been here a few times and have ordered off both the regular menu and the traditional Chinese menu (the hot pot is great). Particularly impressed with their bento boxes - a lot of food for the money. Yellowtail sashimi was amazing. Service has always been good as well. I have tried the Thai food yet but I'm looking forward to trying their red curry. They have a large variety of dishes and they do almost all of them right. read more

Had the curry chicken was good but need water chestnuts and maybe bamboo shoots and not potatoes and carrots. Service was good and quick.

Simply delicious! It had been about 10 years since I had been to this restaurant. At the time it was a Mongolian grill. The food then was good but not enough to draw me in again on a regular basis. At a friends suggestion, we dined here recently and it was fabulous. The grill is gone but no matter. I tasted my friends edamame which was the best I've ever had. I ordered a cup of won ton soup that was flavorful without being dramatic. For my main dish I ordered the Saucy Beef Chow Fun. This was a wide rice noodle dish with a savory sauce and delicious slices of beef and onions. The portion was so large, this served as my meal for the next 2 days. Leftovers are fabulous! The owner came out and talked to us. Her name is May and she is just delightful. She is very knowledgeable about the dishes she serves and concerned about serving high quality. She stressed to us that she could make any accommodation we needed to any dish. Our server, Wayne, was just as nice. I enjoyed meeting them both. This is a busy restaurant. Not only were a lot of people dining in but there was steady stream of take out traffic, as well. I waited for my friend in the parking lot and saw many people popping in for their take out. This is also a very large restaurant. It can accommodate large groups with ease. It is still not too large where dining intimacy is lost, though. Everything was cozy and the noise level was perfect. I didn't have to shout to talk or strain to hear. There is plenty of parking, as well. This restaurant has a large private parking lot. Easy access! The prices were extremely reasonable especially considering the amount of food. My appetizer, drink and main course totaled about $16. Terrific bargain. This place is highly recommended!! read more

All our food was excellent! We had a party of 7 and everyone loved their meal. Service was awesome.

Like most fusion places, that try to do too many types of cuisines in one kitchen, this one is pretty hit or miss. We loved: Our server, the hot and sour soup, the drunken noodles. Liked: Hot sake, seaweed salad and egg roll Disliked: Sushi (specifically the eruption roll) and my lychee martini which was too sweet and tasted like lime with just a suggestion of lychee. Based on my one experience here I would stick to the Chinese and Thai menu and avoid the sushi and cocktails. Our server really was terrific. read more

I had shrimp egg foo yung. Cooked just right, not overcooked! The service was really fast and the waiter was friendly and efficient!

Great food from all of Asia. Lovely interior and good service. Highly recommend. Easy parking.

I ordered spicy wontons, jambong, House salad with ginger dressing, and teriyaki chicken. The wontons were all wrapping less than a teàspoon a meat. The salad was a bag, dressing good, jambong ,my husband said was good. My chicken teriyaki was not chicken, served with broccoli and spaghetti. For $74.06 I expected much more. read more

Incredible food and drinks! I had the mango lemonade and the lychee iced tea, and it was incredible! The egg drop soup was to die for and the honey chicken was amazing! Highly recommend this to anyone. read more

Delicious food, excellent service, and a huge variety of cuisines. They have Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes. The spicy edamame brought some serious heat- amazing flavor but only if you love spiciness. The tuna poke bowl tasted very fresh- it had edamame, seaweed, corn, carrots, rice, sesame seeds, tuna cubes, and roe. Very tasty! read more

Their customer service and delivery is in the trash. I've placed like 15 delivery orders, and they've left utensils out of every single one. They eventually offered me a $5 discount, but when I used it they just didn't bring me rice. Any time I've ordered soup, they have not included a spoon. The sushi rolls are slopped together and their sushi rice could use improvement. read more

Fantastic food for great price ! :) Great find for Asian food ! The restaurant is spacious and had great ambience! Did not wait to get seated even on a Friday night ! We ordered summer roll, fried spring rolls and avocado,asparagus and cucumber sushi! Everything was super yummy and loved the presentation as well ! The only downside was the fried spring roll was tad bit oily ! Summer roll was exceptionally good, super fresh and light ! Absolutely loved it ! For our main course ordered Kung Pao tofu and man it was super delicious ! Me and hubby were super happy and satisfied at the end of our dinner ! Best part was the prices were very very less! Will definitely go back again :) People if you haven't been to this restaurant, go try it out ! read more

This is our go to takeout place. The food is ALWAYS delicious and exactly what you think you will get. Our typical order is the general tso's chicken and sesame chicken with fried rice. They also have some excellent crab rangoon. Their delivery is always 30 minutes faster than what the time lists and they have been great during this pandemic as well. Love this restaurant. read more

Amazing food! Honestly one of the top places that I would recommend! Everything was absolutely delicious and was exactly what I wanted.

Searching for a sushi is tough in a new town. Main thing to look for is quality and freshness, after reading multiple good reviews I decided to try this place out. The restaurant itself is really nice , they have booths and tables that are well spaced, decor is nice as well. Menu is great , lots of options for everyone . They have multiple cuisines such as Korean, Chinese, Japanese , etc... I had the Una Ju which is eel on a bed of sushi rice and a tempura roll. The eel was great it had a smoky flavor to it and the sushi rice was good. I would definitely come back to have this dish ! The tempura roll was great as well. Will have to come back to try other items on the menu. Overall good food a bit expensive but this place I would recommend . read more

Oh yeah, this place is delicious! Was skeptical at first but tried it and it is so good! So many options on their menu.

Came here around 14:30 very hungry, order right away with a jelly fish app, a fried tofu with black mushrooms, a bowl of Taiwanese Beef Soup noodle and a curry beef (rice at side). Food came one after one quickly. Taiwanese beef noodle's meat was tender and tasty same as curry beef. I love tofu with black mushrooms the most, if you like tofu, must try. Jelly fish dish was OK. Overall, nice restaurant, good food, great host (manager Alan) but just too far away from where I live. We definitely will come eat at here over and over again whenever visit Lawrence. read more

We dined at The Oriental for Valentine's Day and it was fantastic! May and her staff regularly do special event menus and BOY! The Valentine's Day menu did not disappoint! The special cocktails were delicious. I had the ginger scallion lobster and it was amazing. The lobster was lightly battered and served with steamed rice and a gorgeous array of colorful vegetables (and lots of ginger!!). VERY generous portions and a great meal and value. Don't get me wrong...you can come to The Oriental any day, at any time, and get fantastic food. But the Valentine's special menu was terrific. And if you go to the Oriental, don't forget to ask to see the secret Chinese menu. If you love savory, ginger spiced food, try the three cup chicken. You won't be disappointed!! read more

The wait staff are vary friendly and the place has a calm atmosphere and decorations. They have a Vary Large menu's. There is the Lunch menu witch has Bento Box's with lunch portions. A Dinner Menu with appatisors then dishs and lastly sushi in the back of that. They have a Sushi menu that you can write on for your table and a Othentic Chines menu. Recommendations: App) I really like there Summer Rolls there fried like egg rolls but are a bit more crunchy and light and come with two sauces a Dark ritch sauce and a light creamy sauce. Dinn) They have Pad Tai that is grate here. Also there Drunken noodle and Black Pepper Beef *Chinese menu* are also vary tasty. Sushi) I love there Samurai Roll and there Crunchy Roll. They also have some Smoked salmon sashimi witch is a grate addition to a sushi plate.

I had not been back to this restaurant for over three years, since I was disappointed by my experience here three years ago. Based on a recommendation from a friend, I decided to give it another try. What a change! This restaurant has dramatically improved. They now have good wine choices and a separate authentic Chinese menu. They now also are able to accommodate special dietary preferences, such as sauces without chicken stock or MSG. This time we tried the Yakitori with scallops, the Thai basil shrimp, and the coral reef roll. All were good. We will be back for sure to try some of the other options, including those on the separate authentic Chinese menu. read more

Lawrence has a variety of good and bad asian restaurants. A friend wanted to go out for a late lunch, so we decided on Oriental Bistro. Being an iDine location was very appealing, allowing the diner to earn miles on a variety of airlines. The staff were friendly, restaurant was clean and well decorated and the food was very good. I returned recently and was pleased to see they had online ordering. There was a $1.25~ fee, but it seemed worth it. The spicy tuna roll and salmon sashimi was very good and tasted fresh. The sweet and sour chicken was good, though had a bit too much sauce on it. I think I'll try a different dish next time, but I was very pleased with the meal as a whole. read more

This is possibly our favorite restaurant in Lawrence. They do have a diverse main menu, with American Chinese food, and Thai and Korean and sushi, but I've never tried any of that. The key is to ask for the Chinese menu. Nowadays they even have a translated version of the Chinese menu in English! Ask for recommendations if you need them. There are so many delicious items. I'm a vegetarian and there are good options for me, as well as a ton of meat options for others. I adore the puckered green beans, the sizzling tofu, the eggs and chives, and a garlicky green leafy vegetable that's just amazing. We usually chose two of those and share them. They also have dollar carafes of warm sake, which is fantastic. Great deal. The most amazing thing about this restaurant, for me, is that they carry gluten free soy sauce and can make all my favorite dishes safe for me to eat. I was crushed when after I got celiac disease I realized I couldn't eat here anymore... But not much later they started carrying tamari! It's so great to have delicious, authentic, gluten-free Chinese food in Lawrence. It's also a comfortable atmosphere with friendly, helpful staff. Theres a lot of seating and we rarely ever have had to wait. They also do carry-out. We will continue coming back several times a month!! read more
