The food was delicious. Everything was handmade and fresh so excited by how inexpensive the food was for such a high-quality. The building was unassuming, looking like an older house from the outside, but once I walked inside, it wasn't oasis feeling like I was transported to Mandarin China the staff was friendly and I enjoyed my experience. read more

Why we get takeout here....Lumpia, Pancit, Adobo... All of those items are delicious comfort food options for me and my family. Why we do takeout, inside, is a little worn and dark for my preference of where I eat. The food we typically order at minimum 6 different types of food/dishes and is usually ready within 30 minutes. This is great fast food asian food....and they have Filipino Offerings!!! Appreciate the family that has owned and operated this restaurant for decades. Great family read more

Fastest delivery ever! Food was hot and delicious and they used clean oil as well. Never after 10 yrs had a bad thing to say about the food or the service and now the delivery actual drivers from the restaurant. read more

POSITIVE: Friendly staff. Not the worst Chinese in Brunswick. NEGATIVE: Bad food. We got pork fried rice and chicken with broccoli. For the rice side with the broccoli they gave us some of the pork friend rice - not white rice as I would have expected. The place was almost empty on a Saturday evening, which makes sense after trying this place out. read more

This place is amazing! Such friendly staff and food is better than average, prices are competitive. The only downside is the side order of rice that comes with the PuPu platter is very small. I love their fried spring rolls and egg fu yung! read more

Been the best for years! Tucked in away on Mill Str it's easy to miss but you don't want to! Good food every time.

My leftovers from other restaurants tasted fresher than what i bought today.. The Sesame Chicken had to be pre-cooked and dry as a bone and had very little sauce on to really make it unappealing.. The Dumplings were not warm or mois., They came in a non standard style pot sticker sauce. Precooked again just put in the container out of the refrigerator not warm or moist. Pork Fried Rice was just brown rice and a few pieces of Red Pork sprinkled on the top of the container. Nothing warm seemed or moist, now I live 20 minutes away but should have some moisture and a little heat as this was juat my portion of the order. First- and last-time customer.. read more

food is good and Mary provides such good service and makes sure each customer leaves satisfied with their order. Great service....

17 b is my go-to. I've been going to this Chinese restaurant for years. They have good food and great service, although they definitely get extremely busy. If you like this type of food try it out read more

Wife and I decided to try a different local Chinese spot and were very disappointed. Food took over an hour to be made after ordering, staff was not friendly and food was mediocre. For the price you pay I was expecting better food. Our meals were lukewarm even though they came straight from the kitchen... we will not be returning read more

It's my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. It's quick and quiet if you eat in. Or ready to pick up food there.

As I have mentioned before, I love eating authentic Asian food. There is nothing too crazy or unique that I won't try it at least once. Nevertheless, occasionally I get a craving for old school Americanized Chinese food. I am guessing the craving is a nostalgic leftover from growing up in the late 70's and early 80's when my parents would take us out for Chinese food before the movies. At that time, beef with broccoli and greasy egg rolls seemed really exotic. My oldest daughter and I were home alone recently and both were craving Chinese takeout and have never tried this place before. I have to admit we were not impressed... the service was friendly and the price was reasonable, however the food was really not so good. My daughter, after taking a few bites, threw her whole meal away. She is a bit picky but I tasted her chicken chow mein and didn't argue with her decision.... it was soupy and bland. I got the beef with broccoli combo.... the egg roll was pretty good but slightly over cooked. The beef and fried rice were okay but had a slight off flavor. Not sure I will be back. read more

This is really a 3.5 star rating, being generous. Why? The little Filipino lady at the front was super sweet, friendly, talkative and thoughtful, she made sure we had everything we needed to take back to our hotel room. We took our food to go, and the other lady who brought our food up was also super nice. So, service = 8.5 out of 10. Food: very plentiful, large portions, we were not left hungry. Quality and taste were pretty darn good for the price. Chicken fingers?? They came with the combinations and were basically pieces of white meat chicken fried in corn dog like thick batter, odd, but good. Duck sauce was good. Dumplings were thick and huge, sauce was good. Overall food = 7.5 out of 10, not bad for the price. This is not gourmet Asian food. But they don't try to be. They know who and what they are, inexpensive, plentiful, "good" food that is made fresh and quick and can be delivered to your door in a large area. It's local, friendly and hit the spot for quick, inexpensive, large portion meal. Overall rating = 7 out of 10. When you're in the mood, this is a good place. I'd go back. read more

This place is my favorite takeout restaurant. It has decent prices for good portion sizes. The decor is nice if you are eating in too. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is delivered in a timely manner. I recommend the lumpia Shanghai egg rolls. read more

Oriental Restaurant - Menu art - A sign for Oriental Restaurant displays the name in stylized red letters and a cartoon Buddha figure holding a bowl. - Chinese Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

Horrible customer service, when whole part of order was not delivered woman on phone made me hold for 20 minutes i heard her take a whole credit card number over the phone. She denied that they didnt forget my meal then proceeded to talk badly while i was on the phone. I have been here a few times and the treatment each time progressively got worse as if they do not appreciate their patrons at all. Dont go. Stay away. Pad thai no taste Wings fatty and not cooked well through Sesame chicken was hard and chewy. read more

The oriental restaurant is great however tonight wasn't the greatest. After waiting 35 minutes for our takeout order and then driving 30 minutes back home we realized that 1 thing was missing from our bag that was $12. Food is great, service and time needs improvement. read more

My favorite Chinese place to date. Not too greasy, nice staff, and large menu to choose from.

I've been going here for almost 20 years. I have never had a time where the food was subpar or not great. I love the staff as they always have a smile and like to chitchat. The prices are beyond reasonable in fact less than most places I go for Chinese. The menu is absolutely huge in the portions are very large also. This is a family owned place and one of my favorite things about it is at some points some of the family members are there including the younger children. Seems to be at least three generations that are there. I would highly recommend this place for takeout or dining. The food is always hot, fresh, and you receive more than you expect! read more

They brought out the food plate by plate other people at different tables got their food before us half the food was cold if the other half was hot read more

I just had EGG FOO YOUNG THE first time in my 55 years. I don't remember any family member or friends ever orderin it. The little fluffy, crispy-edged omelet was stuffed with fresh bean sprouts, mushrooms, snow pea pods, green peas, carrots, and onions with luscious gravy. I'm not much of a gravy person, but this worked depie my reservations. It came with a side of veggie fried rice which was a perfect side. That a a pot of hot tea on a cod and rainy Maine afternoon was what the doctor odered. read more

While I have ordered from here many times before and experienced great service and tasty food, tonight was different. The crab rangoon was overcooked, tasted old and the Beef LoMein lacked beef and was filled with so many vegetables I could hardly find the noodles. The Pad Thai was dry and most everything was overcooked and/or dry. When I called to request no vegetables in my LoMein, I was told it would cost me more as they would have to make up a fresh batch! Very disappointed! read more

My husband and I ordered here for the first time, it was wonderful more food the we excepted and fresh and excellent. From a score from 1to 5 we would give it a 10if we could. Definitely ordering from here again. read more

I ordered orange chicken, crab rangoons and spring rolls for delivery, was told my food would arrive within 25-40 minutes. My food arrived in about 20 mins and cost was only $25 for a very generous amount of food. The crab rangoons were the best I've had in the area and the spring rolls were perfectly crunchy. One of my favorite restaurants in town. read more

The service here was great and the food was amazing!! Our waiter was friendly and cheerful and recommended specials for us! Great place to bring family! The food was so good we forgot to take a picture but the 14a and 15a specials are a GREAT value only $7.25 for a sizable amount of food! read more

The decor was lovely. The food was tasty. The staff was extremely pleasant and the prices were very reasonable. The only thing that disappointed us was there was no actual buffet. Their idea of a buffet was being able to choose items off the menu for a specific price. Overall we were very pleased with our visit. read more

Really good and cheep go there every 2 weeks to a month, great for a fast, last minute dinner

We were looking for some place that would deliver; it was about 45 minutes before their closing time, but they took our order and delivered earlier than expected. We got chicken pad thai, crab rangoon, and sweet and sour pork. It was all delicious! read more

Great place for takeout - the whole family really enjoyed the food, and the staff was super polite and professional. The order was completely correct, which was a pleasant surprise from most takeout restaurants. The boneless spareribs were some of the best I've ever had; meaty and tasty and not overly sauced. The other dishes were solid and I would order them again, with the standout being the wonton soup - absolutely delicious. Overall, a solid Chinese restaurant in the area. read more

Decided to order and pick up from here on Easter Sunday. Ordered chicken fingers, beef lo-Mein and fried dumplings. 1st....food was TERRIBLE! 2. 2nd...it made me sick and I have been sick all day today. 3rd....they ARE NOT abiding by the CDC recommendations of 6ft apart! There were 5 people at the same time in close proximity of each other under their awning. They are also taking your credit card in your presence instead of over the phone and coming right up in your face to have you sign receipt! Worse part...one of those people was a healthcare worker from an elderly care center. She had no mask and walked right in front of me, walked into the restaurant, back out, stood by me before they brought her food out. I don't have a lot of money...out of work and I now regret beyond words spending $30 at this dump. This place should be shut down immediately!!! I will he reporting the violations! read more

I this restaurant! I grew up in Brunswick and we are here often. I moved away with my family to Hawaii and now California. Oriental is STILL my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant!!! 17A and CP6 are favorites! The chicken wings are awesome, the boneless ribs and sauce are a MUST and the beef teriyaki is my favorite!!! You can eat in or get it to go. Either way it is good. There is something for everyone in the menu, the portions are great and the price is FANTASTIC! So many places over charge for lackluster food and small portions - that is NOT the case here. You get delicious, flavorful portions of food for a GREAT price!!! I always order at least once or twice while I'm home visiting. My parents still order from here regularly. It's even worth driving a distance for! read more

Oriental Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

Love love love the Oriental restaurant! I've been eating here for almost 30 years! So grateful for the amazing, hot food we got for Christmas tonight. People were VERY rude and not at all understanding as they got their butts kicked in the kitchen! Best Chinese in our area, by far! read more

In honor of my 26th birthday, and for my 200th review, I'm going back to the East Coast... Well, in my mind. In a town like Brunswick, choices for ethnic cuisine were pretty limited. Some coworkers of mine suggested this place for Asian food. It wasn't a Chinese restaurant, or a buffet, which is why I liked it so much. They served Japanese, Korean and Thai food. This was the first place I ever experienced the Drunken Noodle. One of the best "Thai" dishes I have ever had. This is also the place that I tried Thai Iced Tea for the first time. I have a lot of memories from my time in Maine, and coming here for great Thai is one of them. I can only hope that someday I will have the opportunity to go back... read more

A decent place for Chinese and Filipino food. There's a variety of pansits available and the fried rice is made fresh. But I'm docking it 2 stars for one reason: trying to call for delivery. I work 2nd shift in an office building. I'm the "food dude", so the phoning in for lunch orders falls on me. There's a LOT of noise near the phone at this restaurant. Last night, I had to try 3 times to get the poor woman to hear me. I can't shout the order in (because I'm in an office environment). I was given the hairy eyeball by a couple of people signalling me to lower my voice. I'm sure other people have had this problem. Could the staff PLEASE either move the phone to a quieter spot in the restaurant, or lower the noise level when someone calls for delivery? If this keeps up, I'll be going to another place on Tuesday nights. read more

Horrid place. No idea how they have stayed open. There is really room for decent Chinese food in the midcoast area. read more

First time as we were traveling through. Very good food and reasonable pricing. Great chicken chow main. Very personable employees. Will definitely go back if in area. read more

I read other reviews, which were mixed, I was attending a function near by, this place was close, so I gave it a try. Mistake. I ordered Beef and Peapods, got a call they didn't have peapods, so I changed to broccoli. Picked up the order, brought it back to the hotel, practically inedible. The apps were fine, rice & soup also, but I got 90% broccoli, and a few pieces of rubbery, steamed beef and watered down gravy. Very disappointed. read more

The food is tasty & cooked well. I rarely stay to eat there because I find the atmosphere to be too dreary. I'd much rather pick up my food & eat it in the comfort of my own home. I do appreciate how willing they are to make their main dishes without MSG. (The apps are made differently such that they cannot make those separately without MSG.) I enjoy the wanton soup very much! Great flavor & lots of yummy veggies! read more

This place is great open for lunch delivers great food crabragoon needs less cook time so its not super crunchy red pork is great the chicken fingers are amazing its not over cooked its juicy chicken the rice is great not hard or too dry seems to gave me one chicken teriyaki and one beef great great veggie egg roll plus the chicken wings so damn delious I am enjoying it here plus the lady was so nice she asked if I wanted water I Nicely declined they here make sure you are thought of 5 stars read more

We just moved to Brunswick and were hopeful we'd find a good place for Chinese takeout. Oriental Restaurant, while not creatively named, was very tasty. We had the basics--some pork lo mein and fried rice as well as some mixed veggies. Good portions, nice flavorful chunks of roast pork in the entrees, and very fresh tasting. Yum! read more
