Oriental Express

2/26/26 - still loving their food! Today I got the almond chicken. 3/22/25 - fantastic quick meal of sesame chicken. I do enjoy their food! (Past review) Today I chose the broccoli beef for an evening meal. I also added on an order of egg drop soup. It was all as expected.

This couple can read each other's thoughts when it comes to the cooking, answering the phones, and taking care of the people are dining in, take-out, and everything in between. I have been a customer of theirs since 2014. Everything is authentic, reasonably priced, with huge portions, and I love their wonderful eggrolls! I have been to more expensive Chinese dining spots in Richardson, like Kirin Court, and a few others, but in this economy who can afford that all the time. Anyway, I love this couple, and they stand the test of time!

Update: they have the best chicken wings in town! I have enjoyed the food here for years as Oriental Express has weathered several up and down business cycles because it is very good! I particularly enjoy #25, green bean garlic pork. The egg rolls are great. My wife likes the shrimp with lobster sauce. You can get hot mustard in the refrigerator to your right as you wait in line to order.

Came to Oriental Express for takeout tonight and was pleasantly surprise how good the food and service were. Came by around 8:30 and got the sesame chicken w/ fried rice (7.25$) and the spicy fried chicken (6.75$). Both dishes comes with an egg roll and fried wonton. The food took less than 5 mins to cook and tasted pretty good. The portion size was decent for the price and they give you a lot of fried rice or more like white rice with seasoning sauce. I like to commend them for using chicken breast for their chicken that tasted more quality than the other Chinese restaurants. The waitress/owner at the counter were extremely friendly and nice. The food came out super quick and the prices are great. What else can you ask for?

Very good - not Americanized Chinese food You know it’s good when the place is packed with Asian folk and you’re the only white person there. Hot and sour soup is packed with vegetables, great mushroom base (for the review below about it not being yellow/the yellow is an additive/hot and sour is mushroom base with cornstarch. this place doesn’t use color additives except possibly sweet and sour sauce) Mandarin beef is definitely good Not really salty Just a great taste My friend from mainland China used to fix dishes for me.. very similar It’s just not Americanized like peiwei or whatever Thumbs up
