Reviews of Oriental Express (Restaurant)

Jazmin Asencio

My first time ordering from here. The chicken and broccoli tasted fantastic! It was everything I wanted in an entree. It tasted fresh and well balanced in flavor. Also ordered rolls including salmon avocado and rainbow roll. They were both fresh and excellent in taste. My only complaint was the Maki Combo A - spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls. It seemed like more crunch than the tuna and salmon. The rolls were too starchy. The Soy Sauce packets were extremely salty. Next time, I will request low sodium soy sauce, if available. The delivery driver sounded angry and irritated over the phone looking for my location. The interaction with the driver felt awkward since he didn’t get out of his car. He leaned over and handed my food from the passengers window.

Family-owned restaurant serving the Hanover area. The food is good, but the "pineapple chicken" is what you want to try. We call the place "screaming chinese," as the lady is often heard yelling at her husband(?) in the back.

The buffet was already broken down but it was a Very short wait time for delicious food.

They have a delicious lunch all-you-can-pack carryout but you have to get there at a certain time and day. Monday - Friday, 11 to 11:30, except holidays, and you will get great service. And for such a low price ($7) but it's cash only. One time somebody overpacked the container that the lid would not even close. Upon leaving, men chased the customer down in the parking lot and told him to pay 3 extra dollars to cover what he had overfilled. So... don't do this and say please and thank you. You will have a wonderful experience.

I actually got delivery from this place earlier and found 2 pieces of hair in my food. I was literally almost done when I found them and was extremely disappointed. And on top of that when the delivery guy came in, he was complaining that I had sent him to the wrong address when in reality for some reason he did not get the right address. Waste of my money and I will probably never eat hear again.

Good Chinese. We always order Chinese from here. They deliver so fast. Perfect when you are hungry!

Erica Simms

Wings and fries were pretty good , but I found an egg shell in my egg foo young and have been gagging about it ever since

Amanda Neese

Great food

Maxwell Nelsen

it has ok takeout, but i went the other night and dined in, i got rubbery beef and half frozen broccoli. i asked for soup and it never came, the rice tasted cheap and i was overcharged. a meal should have that cost around 15$ according to the menu, suspiciously cost me exactly 20$. the bathroom was grimey and the water i was given was definitely tap and still had soap suds in it. upon closer inspection there was soap scum all on the inside of the red cup. i had to ask 3 times to get a check and he wouldnt print a recipt. the waiter stayed in the corner on his phone singing whatever song played through his earbuds. this was a constant theme throughout the resturaunt. all the staff were singing out of tune songs very, very loudly. it was overall a bad experience and i do not plan on going back. i have warned all of my classmates who go to the school up the street to avoid the place as well. avoid dine in at all costs.

El peor Buffet dónde yo haya comido!!! Casi no hay variedad de comida, la comida ya tiene mucho tiempo está reseca y el servicio de lo peor, jamás vuelvo a venir, vine por que fue lo que me dio el GPS cómo cercano, pero fue horrible

Y billy

good food

brandon westervelt

The foods not bad but the people that work their suck the first time I went here I got a lunch buffet to go I was told not to take to much food that if you take too much food it's an extra charge. They give you a styrofoam container so you can only fill it up so much. This time I went their the woman acted weird with me I guess she remembers me from the last time. The food is okay like I said but the poor service would keep me from coming back.

Keith Winkelman

Food is always good, and quick. Great lunch specials.

Jay Gordon

Low key place with good food at a reasonable price. It is buffet with all you can eat so you never leave hungry. The service is good too.

Michael Vanskiver

I've been ordering from here for 3 years. It is hands down the best take-out I've had in Maryland. It is always quick delivery, the food is fresh and always hot! The service is friendly. Definitely recommend!

Bram Warrick

Odd service, food was tepid, given no utensils. We weren't there at buffet time. We'd have helped ourselves but no instructions were given. Food was... /okay.../.

Richard Moore

Food was good. Not many people eating in but they were running around like it was packed.

Sandra Champion

The lady taking our order was extremely rude!!!! Never again

Carl Nelson

I have seen it many times but never stopped by until recently. It's a great place to get a quick lunch. They have a buffet I saw get re-stocked twice while I was sitting there so everything is pretty fresh.

Charles Grubb

Food is not bad and the staff are friendly.

S. Jeanine Lane Coleman

Worst Chinese restaurants I've ever been to

Coy Hardy

Very good inexpensive sushi and awesome Chinese food. Great staff!

Tom Pinkiert

Rude service and why are children running the restuarant?

Or Av

Not bad...

Amy Crew

I’ve been trying to post this review wherever I can. My husband really likes their food, so we’ve ordered from here a few times. This time around I ordered a spring roll AND I FOUND A SCREW INSIDE OF IT! I called them, and they said something must have fallen in while they were making it.

Professor Phil

Smallest lunch buffet selection in the area. They run out of food quickly. Aging roast pork or what appears to be pork. How can they not put more white rice out? It's.a place with Chinese dishes which needs the staple of Asian meals. Will not be returning.

Jay Cee

Blech. Over cooked, overly greasy and odd portions on Americanized Chinese food. Buffet was disgusting looking, took forever to receive my order and food was definitely sub-par, even by suburban standards for this type of food.

Liz Smith

Food was great!!!!

姚佳宏

Affordable, fast

Eddie Smith

Combos are surprisingly filling considering the inexpensive prices. Tasty too.

Gbenga Akinsola

MITCH THE TRUTH WILLIAMS

Latarsha Trice

Disgusting

Britt Pegus

Kiddie Kurls & More LLC

The food is great most times when they rush it's burnt but I spend tons of money tons and the customer service is piss poor

David Gill

Websites says that deliver within a 5 mile radius but when I ordered food online they called to tell me that would not deliver to my business. We are less than four miles away driving. Very disappointed and will never go or order from here again.

Kenneth Deng

I had a terrible experience in this place. The service was horrible and I swear I will never go there again. They had sushi roll out for buffet but when I was trying to get the second serve, they surprisingly warned me for extra money. I asked why and they said please not coming next time and we don't need the customer like you! OMG this is the first time I hear someone tell me something like this. I would strongly recommend not to go to this place if you don't have to.

David Sellner

Horrible customer service really ignorant on phone

Natatia McNeely

The food was merely okay. Nothing to write home about. But the service was atrocious. We ordered delivery, spoke to two people over the phone, both of which were yelling. Delivery driver came to our door, but instead of ringing the doorbell, he called my husband’s phone and screamed that he was outside. The food wasn’t amazing and if the service was halfway decent, we may Have been repeat customers. However, because of the service we will never order from them again. So sad.

Kimberly Shover

Great food, good prices, we ordered shrimp fried rice and general tos chicken.

Thea Sterling

Disgusting burned chicken wings and poor customer service!

Patrick Cavanaugh

Food is usually great, not the friendliest staff I've ever dealt with but imo it's the best Chinese food in Hanover.

Walter Sandoval

Customer service is okay ! Good it's ok

Fontella Williams

Good food. Parking is difficult.

Khaldoun Alghatrif

So here is my fair rating for this place: ⊙ Food: 5 stars I loved the food, I tasted almost everything they had and it was good. ⊙ Service: 3 stars. The staff are not really friendly, which is understandable when dealing with Asians, don't take me wrong but their main focus is the food quality. ⊙ Price: 5 stars Fairly good with how much you can eat. ⊙ Atmosphere: 5 stars Nicely decorated, seats are comfortable, clean table and silverware.

good to eat

Erick Lozano

Bad service, and try to sell expired food

Sharon Cheung

Food was good. Quaint restaurant

Gina Zheng

I went at 12:30 pm. There was hardly any food. Their buffet stop at 12:00.

Tyler Schultz

I consider myself a Chinese food lover. I had the General Tso's dinner combo with fried rice and egg drop soup and every part of this meal was on point. The chicken was tangy with a splash of spice, well cooked and not chewy or gummy like most places. The rice tasted amazing. The soup is just how anyone should expect it. Overall, 5*

Sahel Jade

Love this place. It's about a 5 minute drive to my workplace off of Business Center in Hanover, and their food is always fresh. Their broccoli an beef is my favorite, and the staff are really nice. My only complaint would be that their rice is a little bit dry, but other than that it's a great affordable place to eat with great food.

Tara R

adam boblitz

Ok. Food is good. Customer service not that good. Condiment cups at table need cleaned.

Jayson Gordneer

Nice experience! I was offered the buffet for inside or takeout. The layout of food was good and they even put more fresh food out while I was preparing my to go tray! I salute the customer service. Food was good too!

Kim Marshall

Pros: friendly staff. Generous portions. Good prices. Food was quite good. Cons: General Tso chicken and eggroll we're both so hard I could barely chew it. The spoon in the duck sauce was rusty. Both the duck sauce and hot mustard in the table caddy were old and congealed. We used take out packets.

Evette Clea

Running close to start of work decided to gps local restaurant. To my pleasure I was in and out with pleased service! It makes a difference where I spend my money.

Natalie Oyler-Lusco

I've never eaten here, but I've ordered plenty of delivery food and it's been good every time. Delivery is super fast and the food is always hot. I wish the Hunan chicken was a smidge spicier, though!

Mikayla Peeples

I liie the menu. The restaurant could use a face lift.

Gary Blackstone

Great place to eat and the people are so friendly.
