Oriental Express-Ashford, AL

"The food kept making me go back for more even when I was full. A flavor I will never forget. The server was very nice. It took a while to get our food, but was definitely worth the wait. Don't let the looks of this small establishment fool you, this is a great choice for a place to eat if you visit Ashford. I personally recommend it."

"They don't answer their phone most of the time, but the food is pretty good, it might not be exactly what you thought you ordered though!"

"Not good. Noodles were just bland, very chewy chicken. My egg roll was still cold inside."

"I cannot praise this restaurant enough. For the last 2 months I have eaten here at least once or twice a week. I have had their lunch buffet several times, even though I am not a buffet style fan, I have enjoyed this buffet. I think it is the perfect option if you are unsure what you want or want to try multiple things. The food has been fresh and delicious. They cook in smaller quantities than you normally encounter at buffet style restaurants, so less food waste and the food isn't lingering for long periods of time. I love to order off the menu, which is what I usually do. Everything I have has been excellent. The portions are large enough for me to have two meals. I typically order an appetizer and an main dish. I feel like this restaurant has the best shrimp rolls, dumplings, and chicken on a stick I have had in this area. The hot and sour soup is also extremely good. The Kung pao and szechuan dishes are exceptionally good. While I am used to there being more mala (spicy numbing hot) the flavor of the sauce is balanced and delicious. I have yet to have something with too much sugar in the sauce, a problem I have noticed with a lot of Chinese American restaurants. I very highly recommend this restaurant. I would warn that this is not a fast food restaurant, so have some patience. The food is more than worth the wait."

"Fast, friendly service and convenient location. We had Fried Dumplings, Sesame Chicken and Combination Lo Mein. They were all tasty, but the Lo Mein was amazing! Enough food for 4 people."
