Always good and always busy! The sesame beef and kung pao chicken are so good! I'm posting the menus because the ones on yelp are extremely old! Sorry for the glare read more

We drove to the Chinese place we have been going to for 17+ years forgetting they are closed on Monday. It was our 47th anniversary so we said well lets just go here instead. We've never been here. We were the only ones there at lunch. Kind of a Twilight Zone feeling. The place is very clean, the waitress was super nice, and the prices were fair. Maybe the food was not what I'm used to. I'm not saying it was bad but to me it was lacking. The sauce on the sweet and sour was very thin and the rice was not flavorful. Maybe I'll give it a second try sometime down the road but in the meantime I'll stick to my normal place. read more

Love the people and the food here. I will say though that you must order well ahead because sometimes it does take a while to get your food. Well worth it when you do though. read more

The food is so good!! Really. Fresh, perfectly cooked vegetables, sauces are on point, that weird dark meat chicken that usually goes into things like kung pao is replaced by tender and juicy marinated white meat!!!! I'm a spoiled picky eater who's been to some one the best restaurants in the world and I must say, for a small town Chinese restaurant- they are crushing it!!!! These photos are only my lunch today. I've eaten many dishes over the years and they are all good. The cashew chicken ding is my mom's favorite and it's delicious! Overall very good quality food and a lot of it. Service is well attended and kind. A solid 5/5. read more

Oriental Garden - Kung Pao minus bell pepper - Chinese Near Me - Banks, Oregon

Fabulous dinner located off of a main highway with plenty of parking. Enough space for large groups. On a Friday night pickup orders were leaving consistently. The servings are plentiful enough for two meals. We had a wonderful dinner. read more

First let's say, if they would let me put zero stars I WOULD, we waited 45 minutes FOR ARE FOOD, was starving and it taste like crap, I would never recommend this place to anyone, very slow service, the chicken was bland, put a fast food place in this town. My final review would be this place is HORRIBLE. The ambiance was alr but this shit sucks! read more

Closed on Tuesday's, really? It was my boyfriend's mother's birthday and she wanted Chinese food. I'm sure it's fine food but I never got the chance to try it. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for quite a number of years and their food is always fresh and delicious no matter what you order. I can't say enough about the service, it is exceptional. No matter what area you live in. It's always a special treat to visit their restaurant. Yvonne from North Plains read more

Hands down the Best Chinese in the Banks and Forest Grove area!! Highly recommended!!

Before you come to this restaurant you may want to read the Health grading it got on the last inspection! It was so bad it had a "No score Given"! read more

After ordering and paying and waiting for my order, I was given the wrong order! Then had to wait another 20 minutes to get the correct order! read more

We don't have much in Banks but it's solid for how small the town is! Big portions! The crab rangoons are honestly my favourite thing. We always get it to go and it take 15-20min read more

Our family has been driving in from Portland and Beaverton for over 12 years to dine here. We love the service and the food is the best. Every special celebration is spent at Oriental Garden. Thank you for the best memories read more

we tried a bunch of different things and everything was so delicious and flavorful. even my pickiest eater was thrilled with the pork fried rice... she ate a whole container of it! read more

We have always picked up our meals. They are very friendly but I'm reviewing the food only. We have ordered food from this Chinese restaurant in Banks at least 6 times, always ordering a different chicken dish but the same Sesame Beef dish each time because my fiancé likes it. I've also ordered the Wor Wonton soup 3 times. Anyway, I have given this restaurant, Oriental Garden, a chance to be good but it's failed each time, mainly in flavor. Their dishes are plain tasteless! I've had to add salt every time! I've told them over the phone when I'm ordering to please use salt in their cooking but I guess the woman who answers the phone a lot doesn't understand. I've said, also, very plainly that their food doesn't have any taste. I looked at other recent reviews and reviews from long ago and quite a few have also written that their food is tasteless, bland or has no flavor! Their chicken dishes and Wor Wonton soup seemed pretty fresh but just flavorless! So, we've stopped ordering from them. I've eaten at hundreds of Chinese restaurants over the years from California to when I Iived in England and I must say the Chinese food in parts of Surrey, England is pretty bland, also, but that's to be expected! We will now have to drive further, like Forest Grove, to get delicious Chinese food! read more

Doing take out only right now. Very quick and easy pick up. We always like this place. Did two orders and it will make 3 meals for two of us easily. Good food. read more

We go there as an extended family of 15 to 20, every New Years, in homage to "The Christmas Story". The food is excellent and the service for such a large group is awesome! read more

Decent - one of my husbands favorite places. I'm not a big fan but love their egg rolls, wonton soup and special fried rice. Service is always friendly and place seems clean. read more

Well consider my mind changed. It's been a few years since we tried it. My wife picked up some mar far and I was pretty happy! The prices are pretty high compared to others but it was tasty. Parking is easy. read more

Jennifer, Thank you for going so above and beyond. Letting us prepay our parents anniversary dinner to surprise them was a fantastic surprise. THEN, all the little extras (card,dessert,fantastic portions) was even better. You went the extra mile and your excitement to help on the phone to your waving at the door as they pulled away made this such an extra-special experience. Would refer anyone to come see you and ask for Jennifer. She's the best! read more

Oriental Garden - Lloyd & Linda 61st Anniversary - Chinese Near Me - Banks, Oregon

This is my favorite Chinese food restaurant in the area. Honestly- I used to love New Chinese Cuisine. But when they went temporarily out of business for a remodel, my husband and I had to start eating here to get our fill of Chinese food. Once New Chinese Cuisine opened, we went there to eat. And nothing will ever be the same again. We swore by NCC before, but once we went to oriental garden, we couldn't stop. The food is so delicious. It's a frequent craving lol. Plus the staff is SO INCREDIBLY FRIENDLY. Honestly doesn't get better. We always order crab puffs, hot and sour soup (not as salty as other places which I enjoy), Mongolian Beef, and general tso's chicken. So. Good. I will say the Mongolian Beef is on the oily side but DAMN it has so much flavor. read more

We were given a gift card and decided to try this place out. Generous portions--we all had to get doggie bags and prices were resonable. I had fish and chips and although the portions were bigger than what you get in most places the fish was chewy and tough I would probably go again read more

What a gem this place is! We just moved to town and have been craving Chinese Food. We placed an order to go and got Lemon Chicken (very much on the sweet side), Sweet & Sour Chicken (sauce in a separate container), Moo-Shu Pork and Fried Rice. There was so much food and it as really tasty! We ordered a lot with the idea of other places we have been and the small amounts of food we have received. My husband and I had enough for dinner (and were completely stuffed) and we each had enough to take for lunch and still have leftovers. Wait time was quick - about 10 minutes to receive the food after we ordered. The restaurant was your typical mom & pop Chinese food restaurant decor - plenty of seating. It seems to be pretty popular in town, a lot of people came in to pick up to-go orders. The food was delicious and we will definitely be back. read more

The food is quick and delicious. We ordered 3 of the dinner B and 2 sides of french fries for our picky eaters. We could have ordered just one plate of fries! Our server was friendly and helpful. She brought a lidded cup for my 2yr old without us asking and served us two pots of tea on the house! Since I have 6 kids, the family friendly atmosphere was a big plus! read more

I came accross this place while shopping at a store next door.. I got some food to go. The servers were really nice. The food was good. The price was decent. I got a combo plate with Mar Far Chicken. Rice (I substituted pork fried rice for steamed rice) and Hunan Chicken, all for 11 bucks. read more

Giving only two stars because the staff was really friendly. The food however, wasn't good. I ordered sweet and sour pork and the pork was flavorless. I also got BBQ pork fried rice and again, another flavorless dish. I barely touched my plate, I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Oriental Garden - Scary egg roll - Chinese Near Me - Banks, Oregon

WE just love this place, good food, good service. The calamari is to die for as is the Hot and sour soup. Very clean, good smells. read more

Very disappointed in the food. Very bland. Stopped on our way home from the beach and we were both quite hungry. Hot and sour was mediocre. "Chicken" Fried Rice had meat crumbs that look like someone picked out all the actual meat, some eggs, no vegetables- not even green onion- and no flavor. Mar Far Chicken was ok. Tender meat inside light crispy batter. Again, not much flavor. Sweet and Sour Chicken had good meat and crispy batter, but the sauce was bland, thin and watery, light orange (?) with no pineapple nor much flavor. We will not be stopping again. The service was fine, the restaurant was clean and welcoming, staff was friendly. For this reason I give 3 stars. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Definitely overpriced. I had the orange chicken and it was very soggy.

Great place Americanize Chinese food, but very good and huge amount of food for the money ...We get takeout from here all the time and never had a bad meal here It is also owned by the nicest local Family everyone please support them so we have a nice place here in Banks too eat... read more

Because of incredibly heavy traffic on I-26 West, we ended up taking Hwy 6 and stopping in the charming little town of Banks for a late lunch after sitting in bumper to bumper stop and go traffic on a very hot day trying to get to the ocean. We were delighted by the food and the prices! It was very clean and simply decorated with those beautiful Chinese paintings made from feather stitch embroidery and filled with comfy booths and tables. I ordered off the lunch menu which goes until 3pm. I had Kung Po Shrimp with fried rice and my friend had the cantonese style chicken with peas and celery. I cannot rave about the sweet and sour soup that came complimentary, but the main dishes were very good. One poor young man was waiting on about 15 tables and the main part of the restaurant was packed. Nonetheless, our food came out quite quickly. The ingredients were fresh and good, the sauces also were clear on the palate like just the right temperature and cooking time had been applied to fresh good ingredients, the secret to good wokked food. I won't claim this is the finest Chinese cuisine I have tasted, because I lived in San Francisco for a decade of my life and I am spoiled, but this was a serendipitous find, the food was very yummy, and our bill came to under twenty dollars including soup, little egg rolls, the main dishes and the very fresh fortune cookies which had really great and unusual fortunes in them. I loved the place. I had fun eating there. read more

Great place, a very clean and brightly lit Chinese food restaurant! The food is really good with huge portions and tastes so fresh! One of our favorite dinner spots when we are in the area! read more

This was absolutely the worst asian food I've had anywhere, of any variety. The noodles were actual overcooked spaghetti noodles in a watery sauce without flavor. Just total garbage, this food. The assorted meat and shrimp tasted as if they had been boiled for days, then wrung oit of their juices, which were the replaced in the stockpot with an old gym sock. Absolutely horrendous. Spghetti noodles?!?! read more

I have tried many different chinese retaurants and this one is the best a couple of my friends told me they love it, so I went. Oh, man! the food is great, the staff is catering to your every need. I drive from Cornelius just to eat there. The other chinese joints around my area suck! You got to go! It is in the same parking lot as Jim's Thriftway in Banks. read more

This is amazing food nice waiters and waitresses and clean bathrooms stocked with everything and the tables and benches are clean. Right on this little town and it is in just the right spot for when you are hungry for good food and wonderful service!!!!!!!!! I bet if you lived by you could get a job because they are always hiring!!!!!!!! read more

It's very surprising to find such good Chinese food in a little town like Banks. I have both dined-in and ordered take-out at Oriental Garden and have tried several different dishes. I've never been disappointed. Their egg rolls are both huge and delicious! read more

This is the best Chinese food I have had out here in Forest Grove/Cornelius/Banks. The only negative thing I have found is that you wait at the counter to be acknowledged sometimes up to five minutes. read more
