What a pleasant surprise to find a good Chinese restaurant in Placentia/Brea/YL area. It sure saves me the drive to Rowland Heights. I really thought food from this place would be like a Panda Express - Asian flavor inspired food but I was happy to find this place actually can cook up some authentic Chinese flavors. Their curry chicken is my go-to. Then their hot black bean shrimp. I mainly go there for take out but the ladies working there are very nice. Will be back to try other dishes. read more

Pretty good lunch spot. Located in the same plaza as OPH and Starbucks on YL Blvd. Good lunch special menu. Food is decent and is traditional Chinese food (not like panda or mall food) read more

Oriental Chinese Cruise recently closed due to water issue. The restaurant is open now! Yay! This restaurant been open for several years and recent year's received a new exterior paint color that better matches the plaza. Oriental Chinese Cruise also updated to the dining room. The addition of larger windows makes the space feel much brighter and more inviting. I also noticed a patio seating which I think was available but likely missed due to bad lighting. Thankfully, some things haven't changed--the ladies that provide the service remains as warm, courteous, and welcoming as ever. I usually order to go here -- veggie items like tofu. The mapo tofu is not spicy enough but the curry tofu is. This time I asked for non-fried curry tofu, should had went with the fried as the color and flavor is a bit off! read more

This is easily one of my favorite local spots for a casual Chinese meal. They are always super friendly, and the service is fast every single time. The energy shifts depending on when you stop by, sometimes it's lively and other times quiet and relaxed. Don't skip the Thai tea, it's my absolute favorite! read more

I wanted to have a quick lunch after I had coffee at Starbucks, and I found this Chinese restaurant, located in the same plaza, so I gave it a try. They offered special lunch on weekend before 3pm, includes soup, egg roll, fried crunchy wonton skin with sweet sour sauce. I ordered the Mongolian beef with steam rice, it was pretty good. I had egg drop soup, no carrots and peas but it tasted good. This lunch special is $15, and i think it is a pretty good deal on weekends. Overall service is okay. I will definitely come back again! read more

I was in the mood for a hot plate of yummy Chinese food and had driven by this location before. I ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken with a side of fried rice, and Vegetable Chow Mein, It was hot and delicious and I could tell the staff works hard to keep their diners happy. I had so much food to go home with since this is a sharing style dining experience. The ambiance was casual and clean, it would be nice to see more decor and to upgrade the restrooms. I enjoyed my visit and will return to try other entrees. read more

Ordered the orange chicken and Mongolian beef, the food was delicious! Great service!

Specializing in American Chinese cuisine, this restaurant serves weekend specials that we got for lunch. I ordered the black pepper beef ($14.95), which also came with fried rice, hot and sour soup, a vegetable egg roll, and a chicken wonton. The beef slices were tender and thin with juices remaining in the meat. However, the dish overall seemed a little too oily for my palate. The fried rice was good and didn't have an overpowering flavor. The side dishes accompanying the weekend special were adequate. However, the vegetable egg roll was oily, and I had to wipe my fingers each time I picked it up. The little chicken wonton was wrapped in a greasy aluminum foil that wasn't very pleasant to open. I found the hot and sour soup adequate, but I've eaten better elsewhere. Despite some minor disfavors with the food, the weekend special is still cost effective, allowing you to get a big lunch for under $15. There wasn't a wait, and we got immediately seated. We got our food relatively quickly, and our server came back to ask if I needed more water. The ambience is relaxed and quiet with peaceful piano music in the background. Bathrooms are toward the back, and parts of the walls and plumbing inside looked dirty and stained. read more

I really wish they had a Chinese food spot like this nearby me. Prior to meeting with someone I had lunch here. I was blown away by the many variety and affordable pricing. Monday through Friday they offer great lunch pricing. They also had lunch pricing for the weekends as well. And they had great family combo sets which is what I went with. I came with one other person and we decided on the 3 people dinner set which included eggrolls, choice of soup, broccoli beef, orange chicken, chow mien, and choice of rice. Before our food came out the nice waitress brought us complementary fried wontons and sweet & sour sauce to munch on. It was a great start to our meal. The eggrolls were vegetarian. And for my soup I got the hour & sour which was really nice and comforting. The person I came with got their egg drop option which they enjoyed. For rice we went with the fried rice option instead of just white rice. It was on the blander side but we dressed it up with some table soy sauce. The chow mien was good but the texture of the chicken in it was a little odd. We still chowed down on it though. The beef broccoli was probably the best thing there. It was so flavorful. The orange chicken were very large pieces. The sauce on it was good. We were blown away by how much food we got and ended up having a lot of left overs. Our entire meal was priced slightly below $50. What a great deal! Our waitress was super nice and food came out quick. She made sure to check on us. The inside of the restaurant is casual but spacious. We enjoyed out time there and definitely would come back. read more

Having lived in the area for about 3 years now, and tried most of the chinese restaurants. This place far exceeded my expectations. Busy Saturday night first good sign the place was full, and plenty of take out orders. The service was great, seems family ran and friendly. Food quality, prices and portions are also on point... will definitely keep this place in rotation for meals out. read more

Excellent food Reasonable prices too. Very friendly environment Found place by accident/ driving by.

Really great lunch special for an affordable price! I work down the street and wanted to try this place out (tired of chain restaurants) and Oriental piqued my interest with their lunch specials. Located in a bustling plaza, the restaurant is clean yet plainly decorated. It is a small restaurant with only 12-15 tables, including booths. Walking in, you're greeted by a large fish tank with some very large fish. The restaurant was very busy, and it looked like only one server was taking orders, refilling waters, running food, etc. I was seated and waited a little bit to get my order taken and for my food to come out, but the wonton chips and hot and sour soup held me over until my lunch came to the table. The hot and sour soup was delicious and piping hot. The orange chicken:rice ratio was perfect! The orange chicken was thinly battered and crispy and the white rice was cooked perfectly without mushiness and a great flavor. I left satisfied and full and I would definitely try more lunch specials! For less than $15, their lunch specials are definitely worth a try! read more

Good and affordable Chinese dishes. They have a great Lunch Specials menu that I unfortunately missed so I'd have to return another day to try! The crispy pan fried noodle was good. I like that the noodle is thin and crispy. However, I did wish that they had a seafood option for this dish rather than just either shrimp or pork. read more

I'm going to come back because Kevin works here. Context: when I first came, I went to the restroom. I'm wheelchair bound and it makes it awkward to get around at times, I was thinking I'd see if they had outdoor seating. Kevin was so observant of my presence in the restraunt and had a chair pulled out for me at a table when I came out. I was so touched that he noticed me come in and was ready to seat me. It made me feel welcome, and I decided I didn't want to eat outside anymore. I was there with my dad. Kevin helped give us good recommendations since it was our first time ordering. He smiled and was so friendly to us. The food was good, but the service was outstanding! Kevin made sure our jasmine tea had fresh refills at appropriate moments. He didn't hover, but he was sensitive to the right times to check in. We received really good service because of him. Makes me want to bring friends back here for lunch or dinner. Everything we ordered was good, but I personally recommend the Sautéed Fish Fillet with veggies! Very tasty! read more

This is one of the best Chinese restaurants outside of the Rowland Heights area. I always order takeout from them if I don't feel like driving to the RH. They're very generous on the food portion and food is always great. read more

The restaurant atmosphere is very casual but the service was great. They were very generous with food portions. I would go back.

1 Star -- Would Not Recommend This was genuinely some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The chow mein was extremely greasy with almost no flavor--all I could taste was oil, and it had this strange taste that reminded me of the way paint smells. The orange chicken wasn't any better. It didn't taste like orange chicken at all, and the chicken was so chewy that after several minutes of trying to chew one piece, I literally had to spit it out. The broccoli beef was also concerning because the beef was so red that it looked undercooked. I honestly don't understand how this place has 4 stars. I felt sick almost immediately after eating what little I could stomach. Panda Express has significantly more flavor, and I would choose that any day over this. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place at all. Based on my experience, I would stay away. Easily the worst Chinese food I've had to date. read more

Delicious seasoned. Orders are given pretty good & large amount. They offer great lunch and weekend special pricings. Will definitely be back for lunch special with my friends. Pretty good & reasonable pricing. Came in for lunch on a weekday w my mommie friends 4.09.25 We all tried the lunch special. Comes with vegetable eggrolls, choice of egg flower or Hot & Sour soup along w Steam, fried rice pr noodles. ~ Shrimp w Lobster Sauce was yummy. Shrimp Were huge. Definitely recommended. ~ String Beans was really good, flavored and good. ~ Mongolian Beef , can never go wrong with. The restaurant isn't too big. With a handful of tables & booth seatings. There was only 1 server. Lady was nice. Just have to let her know a few times since she was the only server. Located in the corner of Kraemer & Yorba linda blvd. Same plaza as Spitz, Chipotle, Starbucks, next to Original Pancake House & Clyde's Chicken. read more

A bad cold always gives me the craving for spicy Chinese food to help clear my sinuses. I haven't gotten food from here in a while so I decided to call in a to-go order. The whole shopping center where it is was recently renovated and the exterior is all new. I feel like the inside has been cleaned up as well. There is another restaurant next door, but in the evening most of the other businesses are closed so parking is no problem. The last time I called in a to-go order, I remember arriving and there were many people also waiting for to-go orders and I had to wait almost 30 minutes for my food. This time there were three other people waiting ahead of me, but in under five minutes they all got their food, and mine came out only a few minutes later so things were running a lot smoother this time. The pan fried potstickers were good and come with a generous serving size of eight. Why get only one container of hot and sour soup when you can get two for only a few dollars more? The Kung Pao shrimp was also good. There were a lot of shrimp and the veggies were nice and crisp. The soup and shrimp were both more mild than usual for a regular order at a Chinese restaurant. After the fact I saw that their menu says you can order the spicy dishes mild, medium, or spicy. I would think it would be medium by default but I feel like mine was mild. I'll be sure to specify medium next time as this order didn't do much for my cold. I'll keep OCC in the Chinese restaurant rotation. read more

Oriental Chinese Cuisine is located off of Kraemer and Yorba Linda Blvd. It is easy to locate and access. Parking is plentiful. The inside is clean and the space is maximized without overcrowding. The front of the restaurant was mainly attended by one server but she was on top of keeping everyone happy with drink refills and any other requests. Although we came in during the peak of the lunch rush, our food came out pretty quickly and piping hot. A complementary bowl of fried wonton skins and sweet & sour sauce are set out for each table. I went with the Mongolian Beef lunch special which also comes with choice of soup, steamed or fried rice, and a spring roll. The beef was beautifully seasoned with a good ratio of meat to vegetables. There was actually enough leftover for me to take home with me for a late afternoon snack. There were a few other items on the menu that I'd like to try, so I'll definitely be back. read more

We were really craving chinese food and found this place on yelp. We decided to give it a shot due to its super high reviews. Once arriving this place was PACKED. it's a small restaurant and a little window in the back to order. We waited in line for 30 minutes and was told to find a table somewhere. The staff was super busy because it was just2 people running the whole restaurant. The togos were CRAZY busy as well. People were coming in and leaving with shipping boxes full of food togo so we had a good feeling that the food was going to be good. We ordered the almond chicken, sweet & sour chicken, green bean chicken and chicken chow main. Everything was sooo delicious. I loved the almond chicken because it was pretty much a mushroom chicken yet with a nutty flavor. The sweet & sour chicken was the tables favorite because it's hard to find good sweet and sour yet they did it very well. The staff was very apologetic due to high wait times for food and service yet it was highly understandable since it was very busy. I highly recommend coming in with your family to try this place out, you won't be let down! read more

Oddly enough this place gets better and better every time I go. This last visit we did one of the family meal deals they offer. This $40 deal included plates of orange chicken, broccoli beef, chicken chow mein, and fried rice. They top it off with 3 egg rolls and three bowls of the egg soup.. I must say, the orange chicken was beyond 5 stars. Perfect flavor, absolute perfect crisp - the classic favorite everyone loves. Sadly the fried rice was scorched and the broccoli beef was too slimy for my liking... They have lunch specials too which make for appealing quick meals. The restaurant seems to have its dinner peak from 5 to 7pm, and they get a pretty heavy sum of take out orders as well. The staff is always friendly, even when rushed with high demand. Their booths are starting to slowly fall apart, but they keep the place clean. read more

I've lived in the area for 15 years and I can't believe this is the first time I tried this place. I've been going to the other Chinese restaurants in the area instead. This restaurant is sort of tucked away in the back corner of this plaza so a little difficult to see. Wanted to try a change and I'm glad I did. Food is amazing here. This is now my second time. I ordered the Mongolian beef the first time and kung pao chicken this time. Both dishes were great. They have a great lunch special. read more

Oriental Chinese Cuisine sang so many notes of authentic Chinese food!!! I can't wait to go back again. The vibe is more along the lines of your traditional Chinese food restaurant with long family tables and booths. The docor is nice and calming, and there is plenty of space ro park in this little plaza area. The service was outstanding. Everyone was nice and brought out the food in a timely manner. We had more than one server, so it was nice to consistent check in. So there was this restaurant Chinese family went to before I was born. I went there growing up, and the food was amazing. Eventually, they changed ownership, and the restaurant lost its heart.... Oriental Chinese cuisine.... brought back that level of authentic Chinese food and more. I had egg drop soup, sweet and sour chicken, and eggrolls. we also got some. I think tangerine chicken and several other dishes. None of them disappointed they were all distinct in flavors and amazing to taste. I'll definitely be back for more of the soup for sure!!! It was sooooo gooood. read more
