I love love love this Chinese food. This is the best Chinese food I have ever had. I live in California now and I miss it so much. Every time I visit my family I demand that we have Orient Cafe deliver. I stopped eating there in 2009 but for 5 years I ate their at least once a week. I ordered Kung Pao chicken with no peanuts and they make it perfectly every time. The price is right and the food is delicious. They know me by name now when I order as the Kung Pao guy and are simply the best. You must try these guys if you are in the area, because I miss them so much and wish their deliciousness on you. I like the other reviewer saw some of the average reviews and want to put the word out that they are all liars/have crappy taste buds.

Fantastic Chinese Food!. My wife and I have been going here for years. I very rarely write reviews, but Orient Cafe deserves a better rating than what it had!

Disclaimer: I have not ever worked for O.C., and have nothing to gain from this review.

I have read the other reviews and don't agree. 1.) It's in the parking lot next to a Jewelry store (may be defunct now), Fantastic Sams, etc... Parking has never been a problem for me. Since it's in a corner, there really isn't 'Front Door' parking, but I've never had to walk over 30 yards.

2.) The food isn't poor, average, or good. It's among the best Chinese food I've ever had. In particular, the sesame beef, and sweet and sour chicken are exceptional. The SS chicken is the best I have eaten aside from my homemade version. Abosultely 100% all white-meat chicken. No funky mystery meat in anything at this place!

The staff is friendly, the location is convenient, and they deliver. The only downside I can come up with is that I think they're a little pricey compared to other Chinese places. However, for the quality of food, it's well worth it.

Average Hunan/Szechuan, quick and inexpensive. The food here is so-so, nothing to really set the place apart, but it's fine if you want something fast that doesn't include a burger or a pizza. It's less than a mile from our house, which makes it more than a little convenient for us. Being regulars, the staff knows us and they're always very welcoming and very attentive. My only real complaint about the food itself is the use of sliced broccoli stems in many of the dishes, rather than the florets. It a cost-cutter and not very appealing. We visited one of their other locations recently, and it was just the same. Otherwise the food is average, the prices are right, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the staff is friendly.

Not bad but not great. They deliver and aren't bad. We reccomend the crab ragoon, steamed dumplings and mongolian beef.

Staff is pleasant and they deliver!
