Assistance+ Balance+ Cleanliness+ Deliciousness+ Environment+ Assistance: quick prompt friendly made a few suggestions and treated us with respect and kindness. Balance: quality and quantity versus price is perfect! Even on the more inexpensive side. Cleanliness: restaurant was clean bathroom was clean tables were clean. Deliciousness: I am particularly fond of their sweet and sour pork and sesame chicken, the chow mein covers all of the best tastes that you want in a chow mein including savory salty umami. I also appreciate that they put the veggies on top so you can easily remove them if you do not want them. Environment: it's a cozy kind of hole in the wall place, plenty of space and tables, the only sign that I could see simply said Chinese food, but it's casual and I love it. read more

Bang for buck this place is fantastic, great food, great flavor, great all the way around!!! Hands down u will be stuffed!

I'll start with the Service, The Service was great Friendly attentive! Oriental Express has the feel of a fast food restaurant! Not somewhere I would want to take my husband for date night. It is what the name implies. Express. The food yuck. Sorry to the owners and folks who love it. I do not like the food. Yes they give you a lot. Too much. I would rather have more flavor than a ton of food on a plate. I got Mongolian Beet with steamed rice. All I could taste was 5 spice seasoning. I do not like that seasoning. This is the 3 rd time eating there nope wont go again. That said I did get the Potstickers. They were good. Although fried. I usual don't eat fried foods. Wasn't expecting fried. Usually steamed. Tasty though. read more

Such a great spot right off the highway! The chow mein was surprisingly delicious--definitely make sure to try it. The portions were really generous too. A perfect stop for a quick and tasty meal. Everything here is great. read more

A great find located just off I-5 in Shasta Lake! Thanks to Yelp reviewers, we enjoyed excellent food and large portions at Oriental Express that was served with fast, efficient, and friendly service. The dine-in area was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back on our next pass-through of the area! read more

The food is great. The service is wonderful and the price is amazing. The location is close easy to get to lots of parking.

Food was good and service was fast. They just moved to a new building. Will be back loved their hot and spicy soup.

Is there some sort of completion in the kitchen as to how much they can cram into the takeout containers? Holy crap and to make matters worse the food is so good that you can't stop eating it until you hit food coma! read more

War wonton soup is always great. The appetizer platter was hot and crispy. The staff was spot on and when they say10 minute wait it was perfect. We get to go on a regular bases. The food is good, the price is reasonable and the wait staff friendly. read more

Food is yummy, they never disappoint. Their vegetables are crisp and fresh. The noodles are not overly cooked and mushy. Our fav beef broccoli, meat is always tender and crisp veggies. read more

For Chinese food very good. Food seems to have a home made feel and taste, doesn't feel slathered with hydrogenated oil. Vegetables actually have taste to them and the last homemade test also passes, food taste good the next day cold and unheated. Recommend this place! read more

I like Chinese food and have eaten it from San Francisco to the East Coast and the food and service here is the best I have ever encountered. I will continue to eat here when I want great food and service. read more

The most food I have seen stuffed into a to go box! We got two meals and it fed three of us and another lunch for us on the leftovers. We got the Mongolian beef which was amazing, the sauce is great and the beef is extremely tender. There was a bunch of onions which was a bit excessive but no complaints especially given the price for 13$. We also got the combo sweet and sour chicken that came with fried rice and chicken chow mein. The chow mein noodles were thick and very very tasty. The sweet and sour chicken was tender as well. If it was not for Yelp I would never have went here! This is what makes Yelp so special. An awesome whole in the wall behind an arco gas station in the middle of no where. read more

Love the food. Always hot and it's good reheated the next day. Chicken chow main is very good with lots of vegetables in it.

Best Chinese food! Huge portions, great flavor and customer service is always top notch!

Absolutely THE best Chinese in the north state. Food is always delicious and lots of it for the price. Very friendly service. Easy to miss-behind the Valero off the 5 exit 685 Shasta Dam Boulevard Highly recommended!. The place is small but the food is awesome! read more

Oriental Express - Chinese Near Me - Shasta Lake, California

This is my favorite spot for Chinese food here in the North state. It's a little hole in the wall conveniently located off I-5 in Shasta Lake City. They offer dine-in but it appears that most of the customers here order for pick up. I rarely ever see people dining in. Some of my favorites are the green bean chicken, pot stickers, and Mongolian beef. I'd say their general chicken is a must try (trust me). The chow mein is the best I've had of all restaurants around here. The portions are pretty big, a box size order of any dish will come filled to the top of the box. The food always comes out fast and fresh. I recently ordered catering from Oriental Express for a party for 50 guests. Each party size tray was fairly priced and my guests LOVED the food. They were able to accommodate my large catering order on time and had everything package securely for pick up. read more

We ordered General chicken, pork fried rice, and cashew chicken. All 3 were amazing, fresh, and generous portions. Best General chicken I've ever had. Crispy, thick but tender meat, lots of delicious sauce. Service was fast and with a smiling crew. Ambiance is clean and air conditioned. read more

Delicious Chinese food, especially the egg fu yung. We ordered the family dinner for our group and added orange chicken, sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, prawns with snow peas, house vegetables, garlic chicken, potstickers. Everything was wonderful! Was ready for pick up as promised with pleasant service. Highly recommended! read more

The food is cook well but it's too salty. Please cut down on the sodium for all of the dish. Thanks! I used to be from the Bay Area so I know the taste of how competitive Chinese food is. Hope you find this review well. Thanks! read more

Great menu lots of choices been here many times n have been a fan for years . Have not let me down on taste rich flavors this place is fire

This place is amazing! Prices are budget friendly to feed a family. The portions are extremely filling and you will be taking home leftovers. Servers are kind. They are quick getting food out. Some restaurant booth seating and clean. Don't let the appearance of the outside run you off because you will be missing out! My favorites the Walnut Shrimp, House chow mein, sweet sour chicken and egg rolls. Delicious tasty food read more

They just make a great war wonton soup!!! I wasnt crazy about the chow mein. Its clean, they are friendly.

Popped my cherry at this place today. The building is run down, the pics of the food items on the wall are poor quality, and the dine-in section is not inviting. With all that said, the food was plentiful and priced well. I ordered a lunch special and there was plenty of food and I didn't feel jipped. Most importantly, it was MmmMMm goooood! The service wasn't rude like some of the other reviews state, well at least not for me. read more

Love this little corner Chinese restaurant next to the gas station. I call my order in and 10 minutes later it is ready and waiting for me. The food is really tasty and the boxes are so full you can hardly get them shut. There is enough for three meals in one order. Great neighborhood spot. read more

Terrible fried rice it was basically white rice with nothing in it. No vegetable litterally or egg or chicken it was 100% fried for 30 second white rice. Sucks because entree was large and pretty good. read more

Amazing food and quality, every time! I've never tried anything here that I didn't love. The shrimp king pao, the Szechuan chicken, the Mongolian beef, friend green beans, potstickers, etc. Taste great with a short wait time. The staff are always kind! read more

Great food, huge servings, many options & photos to help you decide. Some inside seating. Many take out orders while we were there. Would come again! read more

Oriental Express - General Chicken Box (with fried rice & delicious noodles!). - Chinese Near Me - Shasta Lake, California

Very solid Chinese food We had the snow peas and chicken and General Tso chicken. Huge portions for lunch specials. Generous amount of snow peas. The chow mein is thick noodle which I like with chunks of chicken. Fried rice was just okay. General Tso's chicken was nice and crispy with a sweet and spicy sauce. This is not a steam table place. It's cooked fresh. Another nice find in Redding read more

This was VERY good. 1st time coming since moving here. Thought we'd give it a try as it is local. The food was a generous portion (got the box). The flavors were really great. We ordered the Szechuan chicken and we asked for extra snow peas and bamboo shoots. Oh, and extra spicy! They accommodated. We will try more things on the menu and perhaps the next review will be 5s. Till next time. read more

I love popping into this place and ordering my all-time favorite - almond chicken. THIS PLACE MAKES IT PERFECT EVERY TIME!!!! I have had almond chicken at other places but this place makes it EXACTLY how I like it! And they have LARGE portions too - just ask! My other fav's to eat here are: Generals Chicken and Orange Chicken. Their menu is extensive!!! Many, many choices!!!! And they have updated their indoor eating area and I must say - IT IS REALLY NICE!!! I LOVE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH THE PLACE!!!! This summer I will be eating indoors more often. This is right behind the ARCO Gas Station on the back side so it is easy to find and easy in and out. And - they deliver via Door Dash - I have done this quite a few times!!!! YUMMY food! read more

My first impression of the restaurant is that they had a nice variety of foods and the dining area looked pretty nice. I took pics while waiting for our order to share my observations; i'l' get back to this later. Food is pretty good for the price. Large portions, food seems to be prepared at such a fast pace. The vegetables are placed in each dish rather chunky so it is pretty difficult to serve with the simple plastic utensils that they provide you with. We ordered the almond chicken, the potstickers, the general tao chicken, the vegetable fried rice, the pork chow mein and brocoli beef. My favorite was the potstickers, almond chicken and general tao chicken and pork chow mein). I ordered mostly from reading the reviews that others had posted so thanks to the other foodies like me.) the were a party of 4 not including a young child (4.5) The child was really keen on the potstickers. Anyways, based on reviews i understand why people generally eat out bc they lack proper serving spoons, food isn't well mixed; u have a fork and spoon and styrofoam plates. The portions themselves were so big that i think our party could still be eating the leftovers for two more days. The bill came to about 90$. Really really cheap; think that the restaurant owners are really humble and considerate to customers. Even the cold refrigerated drinks near the cash register for customers to buy are thoughtfully priced and less than you'd expect to pay for bottled drinks in other restaurants. I could see us coming back. I recommend this restaurant to others for being a honest thoughtful business. read more

The food was very good. Ordered over the phone, but if I had seen the place first, I would not have ordered from here. The building inside and out looks dirty, which was a total drawback. However, the staff was friendly, quick, and provided great service. I will order from here again. I would just like them to clean up the place and provide better ambiance. read more
