The ambiance was very warm and calming. The service...not so much. This was our first time dining in but we've frequented this spot many times before for pick ups. Our server was not interested in serving us. I noticed several eye rolls when she saw we were being seated in her section and again after asking for our drinks. She also handled our food with the same gloves she handled the pens and payments. Gratuity (20%) was automatically added on to the tab. The food: 0/10 due to the lack of flavor. I'm over it. read more

Oriental J - This was supposed to be Thai Spicy Shrimp. All I tasted was the oil from the fried shrimp. - Chinese Near Me - Buford, Georgia

I ordered the Orange Chicken. This was a delivered order so the chicken sat for a while in a plastic container. By the time my food arrived the breading was soggy. read more

Order for delivery at work. This place never miss. The menu goes on and on. They have large variety of dishes. I tried about so many already. Service is great if you ask me. The guy who delivered the food remember us which gives us a warm feeling. read more

They claim this is Pad Krapow Gai (spicy basil chicken)), but it's not. I have no idea what it is to be honest, other than an insult to Thai cuisine and people who order it expecting what the name implies. The real dish should be a stir fry of ground chicken, Thai chilis and Thai basil in a savory sauce. read more

Oriental J - Not Spicy Basil Chicken (Pad Krapow Gai) - Chinese Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Horrible owner!!! Don't care about service just your money. I ordered pork fried rice and when I saw it and tasted it, it was not good at all. I returned it after a few minutes and the owner was so nasty he kept going on and on about I don't know how to cook. I don't know how to order, he was just very rude and disrespectful. Just because he had to returned my money. There are better chinese stores around don't go there. The food is no good!!! read more

Very flavorful and spicy dishes. Hot and sour soup was rich and tasty. I recommend and will frequent it again.

Used to love this place. But food is now below average. A manager said they "changed cooks." I hope they go back.

Atrocious service. We've been going for years but service is their weakness. We had to ask 3 times for lemon for our water; told our server the crisps were stale. She confronted that no one complained. Second dish was obviously the same batch. Our egg rolls were soggy and cold. She gave each others soup and meals with no acknowledgment. We told her we had wanted white rice and not the fried rice as served. We were pushed that we didn't tell her. Death by a thousand cuts. read more

Oriental J is hands down one of my favorite spots! The food is always hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. I've tried a few different dishes here and every single one has been delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, perfect for a casual night out or even takeout. Definitely a go-to place when I'm craving Asian food...great food and great service. My Favs: Sweet & Sour Chicken, Veggie Spring Rolls,and Crab Ragoons...with extra side of sweet and sour sauce. I am getting hungry typing this. lol. Satisfied Customer, Rachelle ( Buford, GA) read more

I placed my order at 9:30pm on Saturday night for delivery from the website. They don't close until 10:30. I never received my order after waiting an hour and they never answered the phone. The website was open and taking orders and money but not delivering food? I hope they make it right by refunding my money for food I never received. read more

I've order To-go multiple times here and the food is not bad at all. The people are always friendly on the phone and they get the order ready pretty quick. Very standard for your Chinese/thai/sushi restaurant. Not fancy but decent food for sure! read more

Delicious Malaysian Lo mein!! It was a random stop for me. I travel all over Atlanta and this place is 100% recommended.

The food is amazing, and the service is always exceptional. I love all their soups and dumplings are extra amazing.

The food was okay. I'd give it a 3/5. This review is mainly based on the service provided at the front desk. I hope the young woman who was there on 6/2/25 around 4pm finds peace. It was my first time trying this restaurant and I needed some guidance with the menu and the service I was given was that of someone who felt I was incompetent and a bother. Hopefully someone in charge sees this and gives her a reminder about the impact of customer service because my family and I won't be back and I won't be recommending this place. You'd think with a health score of 82 there would be more effort towards customer satisfaction. read more

So pleasantly surprised by how delicious thier food was! My daughter had a spicy tuna roll and a dynamite roll and said they were the best sushi rolls she'd ever had! I had Beef with vegetables and requested no brocolli or mushroom and it came exactly as I ordered it and it was scrumptious! We had our order delivered by Grubhub so I have no idea about the interior of the restaurant or the service but the food was absolutely delicious! I am really picky about my Chinese food and I will definitely eat here again! Very rarely does a restaurant get five stars from me but this one totally deserved it! read more

Seeing how convenient the location is to my house, it's one of many places I usually go to. Their sushi is like one from a sushi restaurant and have never disappointed me. I've also had their pad thai, and for those who know me know that I love pad thai. As much as it was flavorful, it was a tad soupy which is abnormal (in my opinion and from my past experiences). Their kung pao chicken is also very good!! As much as they have a large menu variety, it can be difficult to decide on what to get. One of the things I like about this place is that they serve you this fried wonton strips with sweet and sour sauce, which is like equivalent to chips and salsa at a mexican restaurant. Service is the same as any other restaurant, and are never rude to us. I will always return here, especially with the convenient location!! read more

I have been looking for a good Chinese place near me and I think I found it. This was near me and 4/5 stars and the health dept score was very high. Not common for Asian restaurants. We ordered steamed dumplings, orange beef and mandarin trio. The dumplings were so good I thought they were homemade which the waitress said was not. The orange beef was the best we have had. Good portion sizes. The mandarin trio was sweet but the waitress's told me it was. We will definitely be back. read more

This is his go-to spot for Chinese takeout. Always consistently good. I've tried the S&S chicken, sesame chicken, egg rolls, rangoons, and my 2 favorites - chicken lettuce wraps & Mongolian beef. He thinks they have the best hot & sour soup around. We ate here the other night, service was phenomenal. Definitely will be back. read more

My parents frequent this restaurant monthly and I see why they do. Their food is fresh and delicious. I always order sushi here and I'm never disappointed. I order their shrimp crunch roll or their spider roll which is always fantastic. Their hot and sour soup is great as well. I have had their sesame chicken with fried rice and my son has had their sweet and sour shrimp. My son also loves their chow mein. Served is always amazing. Servers and hostess are always nice and helpful. The restaurant always seems quiet, calm and clean. I really like coming here. read more

Second straight delivery 30+ minutes and they did not deliver the egg drop soup. We called them and the late delivery is due to "coincidence because they were really busy with orders". I'm sure that's true since almost all restaurants are really slow on Friday nights at 7 PM. Their answer to the missing soup was "we will credit you on your next order". That's epic; spend more money and we will give you the money back you spent with us already. I'm not sure what has happened to this place but this was it for us. read more

New to this area and came by this quick lunch place. We tried the Thai spicy chicken and shrimp and the meat were deliciously fried and the sauce was sweet and spicy. Very yummy! We also got the Mongolian triple and asked for it to be cooked spicy. It was also very good! Price was really good for lunch! We will bringing kids here and will update. read more

Their delivery person did not speak much English, so communication was difficult when he couldn't find us. The food was very bland, and almost tasteless. I've ordered the same dish from other restaurants, and flavor was much better. The person on the phone, however, was VERY patient with us, it took several calls from us to decide what we wanted. That was a big plus! I would give this restaurant another change as their prices were good, and they do seem to want to please. read more

I've never had the option of "cooked" sushi until now. I gotta say I'm kinda hooked. The roll was fresh and just mildly warm. It gave this meal a little extra than usual. I simply love this place. Can't wait to return! #ashsaidit read more

The food was good, and the employees had a good attitude towards their customers. The atmosphere was mediocre but artistically pleasant.

My favorite Asian restaurant currently is Oriental J's because we've been door dashing them when we can't get out from me being I'll and they have great orange chicken my six year old loves and curry my husband loves. I usually get chicken fried rice, cashew chicken or orange chicken. It's ALWAYS a win when you can't get anywhere locally to have brought hot, delicious and freshly made in less then 30 min. We love how fast our food comes and we will visit soon in person to check out the in dining experience as I'm sure they give just as good of service read more

Still the very best for great food and excellent service in the Atlanta metro. Although there's closer Chinese and Thai restaurants, we make the drive to come here. It's that good. read more

My first visit & I loved it and I plan to revisit soon, I ordered $100.00 worth and loved every dish

I can't believe I have not written about oriental OJ after many years but time to catch up. Started here over 10 years ago, mostly sushi--at the bar with my son . Great sushi chefs kept us happy for years until we moved and now back in the area . Oriental J has some great owners and staff that know the business, provide quality products in Chinese, Thai, Korean , Indonesian and Japanese influences. I'll start with sushi- which may have changed during covid, but always fresh tuna, salmon, octopus so sashimi platters are excellent. I generally get their latest- mostly all fish sushi rolls, lot of meat, great presentations , great taste. I only use sriracha and no soy sauce unless it's seared so always has been great for me and my son on Friday nights . Their Chinese and Thai are fantastic! I mostly get these to go and have been getting my old standard moo goo gai pan cause I love the chicken and tons of veggies and puppy does too. Thai dishes can be really hot and other spicy options- which we love them all have havent been overwhelmed... high tolerance for pain! Give them a try if you haven't been. I believe they are covid to go only but call. I just went and only to go service but it May have been mid day. Highly recommend ! read more

First time there.Food was great as well as the service. The weekend brunch menu was a bargain!

Consistent, no problems. They serve white meat chicken with their entrees. A family place nothing wow. I always do take out.

Excellent device and food. Wide selection of food. Consistent excellence. Our favorite Asian restaurant read more

Always good food, good prices and healthy portions. I eat here 3 times a week. My favorite is the Kung Pau Chicken. As them to make it spicy and you will really enjoy it. read more

Spotty service but good food. Staff sometimes not connecting to service but can be considered

Ordered delivery because my wife wasn't feeling well. We usually go and eat there since the staff are really nice and the food is usually good. This delivery however was the worst!!! The ordered took a little longer than usual to arrive but not much. This is where the one star is deserved. I left a tip when I placed the order on line and when the driver arrived I signed the receipt and he says "give me more tip" I said the tip is already on the bill. Then this dude says "FUCK YOU" I left a suggested 10% tip as per the APP and I get a FU on my front porch by some stranger. If my wife wasn't ill I would have handled this differently than just closing the door. I won't be giving my $$$ to this place ever again. There are so many Asian restaurants in the area to choose from that won't say FUCK YOU. 他妈的你不是你应该对付费客户说的话 read more

I don't understand the glowing reviews for this restaurant...the service was good but the food was not good at all. I ordered ma po tofu and I'm typically used to having silken tofu in the dish, but the tofu was firm and texture really threw me off. The taste and spice level of the sauce was off too, and I didn't like the addition of the peas and carrots. My husband ordered a chicken dish and it was covered in a weird pink sauce and was basically inedible. The only conclusion I can come to is that most of the people leaving glowing reviews haven't had actual good Chinese food, or maybe their other Asian cuisine dishes are better and we shouldn't get Chinese from here. read more

It's the only place I will go in Buford for Chinese food and I've tried them all. The food is ample, always fresh and service is stellar

I love this place...great customer service....great manners an respect....great place to dine in or take out...great food...they don't take long with your order....also great music....I will definitely be back again..... read more

What happened to this place? A few years ago it was so good, but it has changed for the worse. The food is not fresh. It tastes old. While I love fast service, there's no way my 4 entrees were cooked in less than 3 minutes. The was nothing "fried" about the fried rice except for the color. This is the last time I will eat there. read more

We have ordered food to delivery many times. It has been great each in the past. Unfortunately the last time we ordered it was very disappointing. My husband ended up with a bad stomach ache from his dish and my Pad Thai clearly had MSG in it which makes me sick. Hopefully this was a one time thing as we plan to still order in the future. read more

I got the Thai spicy fried rice and the orange chicken. The food is good here, the service is fast and efficient. I always order Togo when I'm in the area. They are a level up from most Chinese restaurants. read more
