Oriental Express Chinese Fast Food

Food is average, regular Chinese fast food. They forgot our fortune cookies, so they get one star.

Absolutely awful. Went here a long time ago and received absolutely horrible service, the guy acted like me adding some Rangoons to my order was some huge inconvenience. He sighed and rolled his eyes and took my order, when the food came he literally just kinda threw it on the table made no eye contact and said nothing just walked off.
Tonight I decided to give them a second try, it was the same guy as last time and his attitude hasnt changed a bit, this time he got pissed bc I asked to split the bill at the window, once again acted like I was just a bother. Food is not great, it’s cheap and about what I would expect from a place like this, the place looks nasty, and I saw roaches on the wall while waiting in the drive through. I will not be going back.

Used to go here because it has a drive thru and it’s close to campus. However, past two times I had gotten egg shells a plenty and felt like puking. Can’t expect much, but also can’t expect sickness. I mean if you enjoy the crunch of egg shells and that feeling of being on the verge of puking, go for it. I am not one to judge.

Eggs rolls tiny. Oily food. I would rather have the chinese food down the street. Called Panda Express.

This place is nothing fancy, but it gets the job done when I’m craving Chinese. Do yourself a favor and check your order before you leave. They actually have a pretty good track record with order accuracy (only 2 mistakes in 3 – 4 years of going there), but they’re usually a pretty busy place and mix ups can happen. But when they mix it up, they usually mix it up royally. Not as in forgetting one of your sides, but as in giving you the entirely wrong order. Both times they replaced my order when I brought it back, in spite of a sign warning you to check your order BEFORE you leave. If there’s clearly a mistake they will make it right though, give you the right order and probably toss you an extra egg roll or something. This might not be the place for everybody, but my Chinese food tastes are simple, I usually just want some fried rice (pork, beef or veggie) and some egg rolls. I don’t know about their other dishes, but the fried rice and egg rolls are solid. Which is more than I can say for some other establishments. And I’ve never had them get shy with the protein. Plenty of pork or beef in my rice when I’ve ordered it. I have tried a couple of other dishes when they mixed up my order and tried to just eat it before taking it back, and I didn’t enjoy them. But I don’t even know what they were, so it might just not be something I’d want to order even if a master chef prepared it. The employees are always friendly. I don’t know, maybe they recognize me because I’m fairly regular and always leave a tip, but I’ve never had any problems with the people behind the counter. All in all it’s nothing insanely awesome, but it meets my needs/​expectations. I’m not a big Asian cuisine aficionado or anything, I’ve never used chopsticks (except back when McDonalds had them in the 80’s, and I used them to eat french fries), and I’ve never turned my nose up at an Asian buffet, so I might not be the expert opinion you’re hoping for. It’s A-​OK by me though. Beats Panda Express, and the fried rice is a million times better than that Super Buffet place that throws a can of peas & carrots into some steamed rice and calls it fried.

Ordered chicken fried rice and it had at best 2 pieces of meat in it. The meal was maybe worth $ 3, but with a pitiful side of Crab Rangoon, the meal cost $ 12. The place is obviously shady, anyone that eats there is taking a chance. It is just a shame that they charge 4x more than the experience is worth.

Used to go because the food was okay, its close to school, and its relatively cheap. However I have got violently sick the last two times after eating there, so I will not be going back. The food is cheap because it is of horrible quality.

+ close to UNT main campus
+ price is more reasonable than other Asian restaurants in Denton
+ I didn’t try everything, yet Spice Pork is not too bad
+ drive-​through
— cooks aren’t Asians, so the taste wouldn’t be authentic
— not too bad service, not very clean also
— very small place
It should be voted 2.5, yet there is no such rate.

1^st not even run by Asians so it’s like tex-​mex Chinese food, 2^nd they almost gave my friends food to someone else. Its not worth your money. Don’t really have a parking lot. If you have a nice car don’t take it there, might get hit. Its nothing special.

Where has this place been all my life? I am mad someone didn’t tell me about this place sooner! This is by far the best tasting, freshest, cheapest, quickest chinese food in Denton, Hands down! Order the orange chicken with orange slices, it is freaking amazing!!! P. S. It has a drive thru! :D

The food is bad. Really bad. Eight dollar for a little portion compared with usual Chinese restaurant. They charged one dollar extra for tofu and put in 4 small pieces. Yes, I counted.
The restroom is dirty. The previous person not even flushed and the staff seem didn’t know about it either. But since I’m the second person walked in the restaurant, I wonder who had a bad manner. Sure is not the first guy since he didn’t go to the restroom at all.
You will pass by their kitchen when going to the restroom. It’s so dirty and unorganized. Terrible!!!

You get what you pay for price is good food is ok I just hate it though that in Texas for noodle they give you what they call lo mien nasty! In California it’s just chowmien which is the noodle stir fried this lo mien is a water cooked noodle not stir fried why they do this? I’m guessing it’s because it must be cheaper and quicker to boil in water.

I LOVE THEIR FOOD!!! the noodles and fired rice are amazingly delicious.

This place was sadly introduced to me by my best friend who is from Denton. I only say sadly because this Chinese food is ridiculously addicting and not in a good way.
You could probably feed two people under $ 10. The portion sizes are that of a Chinese buffet to-​go box. The seafood options are not too expensive in comparison with the other menu items which is weird. The food is greasy, hot, and soaked in msg goodness. I only give this place my money when I’m absolutely craving terrible food for cheap. Now I wouldn’t suggest dining here too often for fear of food poisoning.
The staff suggests the food prepared is not authentic. They’re all college kids needing a part-​time job. With this part –time job comes their part time attitude. They aren’t welcoming at all. I had the woman at the drive thru give me the dirtiest look when I asked her to double check my change. But of course I wasn’t given a receipt.
One star for taste and one for pricing. –3 stars for quality, cleanliness, and hospitality.

I live close to here and absolutely love this place its def not real chinese food but way better than some places close convenient drive thru and I actually really like the food and if u have a craving for chinese at a great price and fast this place is a winner

My family and I went here and the food was fast, delicious and reasonably priced. I’ve personally had the Edamame, the Dumplings (both steamed and fried), and the sugar biscuits. I can say they all tasted fantastic! The price points are perfect for someone on a budget. The service was friendly and fast. Because of this we will be back again!
The only challenge is the drive thru is very small and parking is very limited.

I’m shocked to see this place with such low ratings! Best Chinese food in Denton. Makes my heart beat like a drum thinking about this place. They use the most fresh vegetables and make everything impossibly quickly. Never seen a single Chinese employee but they sure know how to serve up some deliciousness.
Also, the sautéed peppers they include in the spicy dishes are the best. I have literally never had better.

It literally is Chinese fast food. The best thing about this place is that it is a DRIVE THRU. IT DOES NOT GET BETTER THAT THIS! Do not come here looking for fancy Chinese food. I think most people are expecting too much but who can complain when the name of the place has FAST FOOD in it! EVERY THING HERE TASTES SO GOOD. JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE AND YOU WONT BE LET DOWN.

Ok. Let this review serve as a warning to others and a reminder to myself NOT TO COME HERE AGAIN/​EVER.
I want to say this place used to be ok. By ok I mean it was cheap and it never made me ill. But today I’m reeling in pain with regret. This place didn’t give me food poisoning technically… but they poisoned me with their TERRIBLE FOOD.
Cashew chicken is weird slivers of chicken in shapes I’ve never seen mixed with what tastes like chicken campbells soup. Shameful. White rice tastes like cardboard. Orange chicken is just as bad. Fried bits with chicken inside if you’re lucky. Accidentally they gave me fried rice instead of white rice in my box. Better than the white rice but obviously everything has msg in it because it all gave me a raginggg headache.
Don’t eat this food. It’s bad. Bad for you stomach too. You’ll regret it. If you want cheap semi-​passable chinese go to panda express.

Crab rangoons were a no go and the lo main was only okay BUT the sugar biscuits were to die for. Nowhere near good for you, nothing in this place is but if you want to eat something and say worth it then get the sugar biscuits. They are fried dough dusted with sugar and they are super cheap 10 for a dollar. Fantastic!
