New Oriental Express

I ate here in the past, years ago when I first lived here. This time coming in there was maybe 8 or 9 tables sat (me included) and only one server… still leaving 8 – 9 tables vacant to be sat. The server was nice enough but the timeliness was terrible. I ordered Sizzling Rice Soup and the lunch portion of Garlic Shrimp (the deep fried ones). Soup came out about 10 minutes later. Rice wasn’t sizzling like the name dictates it should, instead it was just floating all separate from each other on the top. Flavor of the broth was good but the rice was fried in old oil, you could taste it. 26 minutes later (I know because I was texting a friend during this meal) my shrimp finally came out. Shrimp flavor profile was on point so definitely recommend that. $ 12ish for the soup, entrée, and an iced tea… but I wouldn’t recommend this place:
1) During this event the employee’s children were running around playing tag and fake fighting each other near all of the tables including mine until the ran to play in the kitchen. I didn’t want a dinner show theater, just a dinner.
2) 26 minute wait for the entrée is ridiculous
3) Old oil used for frying
4) Buscart pushed through the dining room to bus tables… just a gross sight to me
5) Soy sauce bucket on the floor in the middle of the dining room. I thought this was originally to catch a water drip from the ceiling. Then I saw the busser throw a towel she just used to clean a table with in to that bucket. I then thought, ok yeah, this MUST be the dirty water bucket that is thrown out. Moments later, NOPE… she goes and pulls the towel out of the bucket of water, rings it out, and washes down other tables. Being in this line of business I am fully confident that this is a sanitizer solution in the bucket so I wasn’t threatened by it, but just like #4, it’s crazy gross!
In conclusion, I wouldn’t come back to eat in house. I could see doing a phone order for pickup so it’s ready at a specific time that is mutually agreed upon so I wouldn’t have to wait that long.

I used to love their take out. Their boxes leak horribly and are flimsy. Their packing of the food is something to be desired. We have lost part of orders due to mess at the bottom of the sack. When we called to complain they did not try to fix it or listen. Their spring rolls were my favorites. You can tell the are cutting MAJOR corners, not only with their product, but also with every other part of their business. Their food is edible. Their restaurant needs a major makeover. I now dislike the ONE thing that kept me going back, their spring rolls. I liked the previous owner. She took pride in her food. I will now find somewhere else to eat.

I love their food, slow moving, but food is awesome! Mongolian beef is real good! The crab Rangoon’s are to die for!

DEFINTELY not a place where you sit and think «oh yea. this kitchen is spotless. I’m sure everything is clean back there.»
But the food?! Pretty darn good. Sesame chicken here is exceptional. I’ve gotten quite a bit of dishes over the years.
Oh! Side note, I got grilled by my wife’s best friend here once. (Before we were dating, her friend had to make sure I wasn’t a creep so she asked me like 100 questions.)
Well, anyways, the food is good! Don’t let a little dirt scare ya off.

Blah, the soup was ok though all of the food was vile, the mongolian beef was very dry and tough and the crab ragoon was hard and nasty tasting.

I have been eating at this place for 16 years. The food is always hot and tasty. The service always on point and if its not, they will make quick amends. Good family restaurant. Enjoy.

Great place to eat if you want to get sick afterwards. Found a roach egg on one of my meal containers… wheres the county health department when you need them!
