    Tofu
    bella t.

    I haven't been to the Orient in a few years and it was great to be back! I got the tofu as an appetizer and chicken lo mein! The tofu was tossed in a flavorful sauce, it was just a little too chewy for me. The chicken lo mein was light and didn't make me feel overly stuffed afterwards. My waiter was very attentive and did a great job at checking in.

    Lychee Martini
    Alexandra S.

    On a slow Tuesday night, I was greeted promptly upon arrival and seated at a bar table. My bartender was attentive, quickly serving my lychee martini and water. I asked for recommendations on popular menu items and received excellent suggestions. My appetizer, the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, arrived promptly and was delicious. However, over 50 minutes passed and my entrée sushi roll still had not arrived. To make matters worse, other guests who ordered after me received their meals, requested condiments or water refills, and even had special revisions completed--while my roll never came. I spoke with the hostess to involve the manager. The manager apologized profusely but did not offer to comp any part of my bill. By the time any effort was made to prepare my roll, my appetite was gone, and the experience left a negative impression. Overall, while the staff was friendly and my appetizer was good, the extended delay and lack of proper resolution for my entrée made this visit disappointing.

    Orange chicken
    Gupta R.

    Great ambience, good service and awesome food. It's right on powers ferry and conveniently located. Decent price and nice ambiance. I have tried the place for few times with my friends and we all liked it. Recently ordered Orange chicken and it was fabulous! Freshly made with tender and juicy chicken and real orange mix. A place to try sushi and all the Chinese dishes.

    I met a friend here for dinner, and we really enjoyed our drinks and sushi. We might make this our new meeting spot since it's halfway between our homes. The service was attentive and helpful. The manager, we think that's who he was, also stopped by to check on our evening. It's got a great vibe. There are many places that you could bring me to, so if you wanna be away from the hibachi and have a quiet area, or you can be in the mix, The espresso martini was strong and too sweet. I started with the hot-and-sour soup. It was so good, and my friend started with a ginger salad. Our favorite roll was the one with multiple types of fish, rolled with cucumber. It was so fresh and delicious. It's a little hard to eat, but totally worth the effort. We also had a Sheldon room with spicy tuna, and it was square instead of the regular roll, and we really enjoyed that one, too. When we come back, we'll be tempted to order the same rolls, if we can figure out what they're called, but if not, there are so many other phenomenal options on the menu we'd be happy with.

    The atmosphere is very nice. Spacious and very well designed. Thats where it all ends. The food has no flavor. The hibachi is SO bland. I mean everything from the shrimp to the chicken. No flavor whatsoever. I saw the cook add butter to the steak so that may have some but nothing else did. The rice was BLAND. The vegetable were overcooked and ate the portions are VERY SMALL. There are a thousand hibachi places in Atl. Find another one because this isn't it.

    I came here with a friend and we enjoyed it! The ambiance was nice, the menu was huge, and our bar tenders were friendly (we sat at the bar outside.) I liked the miso soup but the tiger roll could have been better. It wasn't bad by any means but it didn't seem to have much flavor. I had the chocolate dome for dessert and that tasted amazing. The drink I ordered (I'm forgetting the name but I know "dragon" was in it) was pretty good. It seemed like the alcohol kept separating out because some of the sips had a bit of a bite to them when others didn't lol. The presentation was nice, it's very pretty. My friend ordered the Lychee drink and she liked it. I tried it as well and thought it tasted great. I might order it next time! My friend got a sushi roll (forgetting name) and the seafood fried rice. The portion for the fried rice was huge! She was happy with her meal. We were here on a Friday evening around 7:30-9:30ish and there was activity but it wasn't super busy. There was tons of parking available. I live nearby and have definitely seen it packed before. I'm assuming Saturday and Sunday evenings get busier, and if there is a Braves game it probably gets a bit crazy pre and post game. We had no wait tonight. We sat at the bar but I don't think we would've had to wait for a table inside either. Overall I'm giving a 4 because I really loved the vibes here :) I was a little disappointed in their tiger roll but my friend and I had a great evening at The Orient. I'd happily come again and try some of their other items.

    Fried Chicken
    Rick M.

    5/5 stars I was in town for a business trip and decided to stop by The Orient on a Wednesday evening after a long day of meetings. Since I wasn't in the mood to sit down and eat, I went ahead and placed a call-ahead order for their House Lo Mein along with an order of fried chicken wings. The restaurant itself is fairly spacious with a nice, welcoming atmosphere once you step inside. The décor gives off a classic Chinese restaurant vibe that feels comfortable and relaxing. Parking, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. The spots right in front of the building are limited, so I ended up using the extended parking lot, which was a little dark and had that slightly eerie feeling at night -- nothing too wild or dangerous, but definitely not the most well-lit area I've seen. When I arrived to pick up my order, I was pleasantly greeted right at the door by the staff, who provided genuinely friendly and efficient customer service. That warm welcome made the whole pickup process smooth and quick. Once I got back to my hotel room and finally dug into the food, I have to say the House Lo Mein was prepared with fresh ingredients and good quality noodles and vegetables. It wasn't the most outstanding lo mein I've ever tasted in my life -- I've had versions that were more flavorful and better seasoned -- but it certainly wasn't the worst either. I'd honestly describe it as pretty mid-tier: solid, reliable, and worth what I paid for it on that particular evening. The fried chicken wings, on the other hand, really stood out to me. They were extra crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and actually had some noticeable flavor and seasoning, which made them quite enjoyable. All in all, it was a decent and satisfying meal that hit the spot after a tiring day. The portions were generous enough, and the value felt reasonable. I could definitely see myself returning to The Orient sometime in the future if I find myself back in the area and in need of a quick Chinese takeout option. That said, with plenty of other restaurants nearby that offer more affordable prices and bolder flavors, it probably wouldn't be my absolute first choice the next time I'm craving something similar. Still, if you're looking for a convenient, no-fuss spot with friendly service and consistently okay-to-good food, The Orient is worth considering.

    Came for lunch, there was a short wait but still pretty fast service. I got the Bento box. Came with fried rice, miso soup, tempura, beef teriyaki, small salad and 4 pieces of California roll. The California roll but slim and not packed with much crab meat. The beef teriyaki was okay, a little dry in my opinion. The tempura was good tho, it was fried well and came with a nice dipping sauce. I also enjoyed the miso soup and salad. The fried rice was okay, a little salty but still pretty flavorful. This was a good deal since it came with so many items but quality could be improved.

    This is a very nice spot! Had food cooked fresh over the Hibachi grill. Jessica our server was extremely friendlyyy and courteous and attentive throughout! Will definitely be back as this place have a very nice vibe and excellent food!

    So this year we channeled our inner Christmas Story characters and ventured out to The Orient for our Christmas Dinner. I had called ahead to see if they were open and if they may have a table and a very friendly woman told us "come on in, we're a huge restaurant and we'll find you a table!" Still... when we pulled up we were concerned about the sheer amount of cars in the parking lot and the large amount of people dwelling near the door. Worried for no reason, we were seated within 5 minutes and even had a view of the game on tv, which my bf was very happy about. We ordered the Mongolian Beef, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and House Fried Rice. I'm a little (lot) picky about my chinese food having grown up near NYC with access to some of the best chinese in the country (arguably) but I'm so happy - I finally found a Chinese place in Atlanta that was actually GREAT! It's hard to say why, more flavor? better flavor? my kind of flavor? Don't know, don't care, I'll be going back to try to figure it out often. Oh, they also have hibachi and sushi - maybe someday I'll try it - but there's so many more Chinese dishes that I want to try first! Also, we saw several tables had the PU PU platter, which is not my jam - but looked fun for a big table. Enjoy!

    Steak & Shrimp Hibachi Dinner Combo
    Dominiq D.

    Came to The Orient for a Saturday lunch. You have the option to sit on the restaurant or hibachi side. If you choose hibachi, the Chinese menu isn't available. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, we ended up sitting at our hibachi table alone. The service was quick. Our hibachi chef was really great and entertaining. I took a star away because the tap water didn't taste fresh and the food could've used just a tad more seasoning. The music and set up was really nice - they have a ton of windows that does really well with bringing the natural light in. I'd come back and try the other side of the restaurant.

    Wonton Soup
    Elizabeth Y.

    Walked in with my husband for the first time on a weeknight for dinner. I will say parking was a bit difficult so be prepared to potentially look for a spot for a while. There was a very short wait, but we were able to get seated within a couple of minutes. Our server greeted us very quickly and got us started off with waters. He was very kind and attentive throughout the entire experience, which was greatly appreciated. For my starter, I got the wonton soup, followed by a volcano roll and the fried beef with peppers as my entrée. All of the food came out with rapid speed and was absolutely delicious! I particularly loved how fresh the sushi tasted and how unbelievably crispy beef was that they had in my main course. I think the portions are very fair for the price as well. We can't wait to come back!

    This place is such a staple in our friend group. The food is always delicious and the cocktails on point. Today was a wind down day with my friends so we sat on the patio with some sangrias, Palomas & lychee martinis. We ordered a chicken fried rice and Jessica albacore roll (tuna is not my fav in sushi) and it was better than I expected. Our server was very attentive and charismatic - he kept us entertained all evening. The vibe is always inviting, clean and friendly. Everybody seems to go with the flow (and it's a nice flow) so it's not so rigid

Law of supply and demand. But given the elevation in quality of life this establishment has provided me with across the years, I feel I owe them some good marketing through a review. If there was a sushi coefficient of freshness, quality, quantity, and cost, this place wins everyday. C= (Fr*Q*q*c) Fr: 9 Q: 8 q: 10 c: 10 C(Yokohama)= 7200 Don't get me wrong - the competition is fierce for delicious sushi (Fudo, MF sushi, Nobu, all the Omakase scenarios popping up in town). What this means is the cost (c) is way too high, giving it a low 1-5 in the equation. Also, quantity (q) is low, about 4-6. So, the resulting coefficient is very low overall. From my understanding, the fish here only comes from Japan, so it's good stuff - and they really load up the rolls (a lot of the time), and they have this deal on weekend for special rolls (25% off I think). So you do get the quality, quantity, and decent price (about $12-15 per specialty roll). The regular rolls are good too, and loaded with fish. E.g. spicy salmon/tuna. So, if you're looking to go crazy on some good sushi without restraint and without breaking the bank completely, this is your spot. family owned I believe, very nice and efficient service. Cozy/casual, not too fancy, but feels comfortable to dine in. No delivery unfortunately on any app, but that makes quality control better IMO. Thank you for your attention to this manner.

What's keeping me from giving them 5 stars is, despite having a great time and experience, I didn't truly enjoy the rolls as much even though they were good. There were a few unique rolls, but when it came to flavor profiles and uniqueness, it lacked a lot. The appetizers and the sashimi fish are what did a lot of the heavy work, in my opinion. I would still recommend this place to all raw seafood lovers.

    Umi is now my go-to for sushi in the area, and it's not close. The fish is remarkably fresh, you…read morecan tell immediately from the texture and how clean everything tastes, no fishy aftertaste at all and not frozen (yes, you have to check and make sure you're not eating frozen fish). The rice is excellent as well. I've had the omakase and a la carte, and both were on point. Flavors are balanced and thoughtfully composed; nothing overworked or heavy-handed, just quality ingredients treated with respect. Service matched the food. Attentive without hovering, and the staff clearly knows the menu inside and out, happy to walk you through pairings or recommend based on what you're in the mood for. Between the quality of the fish, the execution in the kitchen, and the hospitality, this is easily a 5-star spot. Already planning my next visit.

    I heard Umi was opening another location in NYC, and it made me want to finally try the one in ATL…read more Overall, I wasn't very impressed. In terms of flavor, I didn't feel like I had ordered the "Signature Nigiri" - it tasted like regular Nigiri but for double the price. The Kamikaze roll might've been better too if they hadn't added the hot sauce.. I felt like it overpowered the taste of everything else. I did, however, really enjoy the avocado salad, and I also liked the otoro box. Our waiter was nice and we had good service, and the restaurant itself was very busy and lively. They also validate parking, so it costs $5 instead of $10, which is nice. I was definitely hoping to like Umi more, especially considering the prices, but sadly I did not. If I ever came back, it would probably just be for the avocado salad.

    I first visited Osha Thai for my friend's 30th birthday, and I immediately fell in love with the…read morerestaurant. Two of my friends had spoken so highly of it, and after experiencing it for myself, I completely understood why. The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service were absolutely phenomenal. My friend and I came back about three weeks later for happy hour, and in between that birthday dinner and today, she has actually returned 3-4 more times because she lives only about seven minutes away. She has even taken the time to leave multiple positive reviews about Osha Thai because of how much she genuinely enjoys the restaurant. Needless to say, we are both familiar with and supportive of the restaurant. Unfortunately, today's experience missed the mark. As soon as we walked in, the energy just did not feel welcoming. We were really excited to come in for happy hour and sat at the bar from 5-7 PM. The restaurant was extremely slow when we arrived--in fact, we were the only guests there--yet it still took quite a while for the bartender to come over so we could even place our order. My friend was especially looking forward to the mussels, so she ordered those, while I ordered a sushi roll and we each ordered a drink. Unfortunately, she never received her mussels. The bartender, Tony, was not attentive throughout our visit, and we eventually had to get someone else's attention just to ask for our check. When we asked for the check, I made sure to mention that my friend had never received her mussels. The manager, Nick, came over, looked at the tab, and apologized. We explained the situation to him as well, but Tony was still nowhere to be found and never came over to acknowledge what happened or apologize. Nick did offer us a 15% discount card for a future visit, which we appreciated, but honestly, that wasn't really the point. It was about the principle and the overall experience. My friend and I have both worked in the restaurant industry for years, so we completely understand that mistakes happen. We're not expecting perfection. What matters is how those situations are handled, and unfortunately, we left feeling somewhat dismissed rather than valued. Despite everything, we still left a 20% tip because we understand the industry and don't believe one bad experience should define someone's livelihood. I'm sharing this because we genuinely love Osha Thai. My friend has supported this restaurant multiple times, has returned several times, and has posted multiple positive reviews about her experiences. That's why today was especially disappointing. We know Osha Thai is capable of providing the exceptional food, drinks, service, and hospitality that we experienced during the birthday dinner. Hopefully, today was simply an off day. We would love to return and have the experience that made us love Osha Thai in the first place.

My favorite was the Matcha mirage! Can't go wrong with any of their sushi rolls. The Drunken noodles were the perfect amount of chewy and were seasoned well. Came for friend's birthday. They kindly gave her creme brûlée to celebrate!
