Orient Express

it does not taste like anything incredible but you dont pay 11 dollars a meal in san ramon for incredible flavor. you pay 11 dollars here because it lasts you through breakfast, lunch, dinner, and maybe more. for this price all i want is for the chicken to be cooked through and to actually be chicken. it was. i think...

I prefer to support small local businesses, so after an appointment, my 2 sons & I were in the mood for Chinese. I'm glad we decided to give the Orient Express a try. It's a very small place, probably best suited for take-out because there's almost no place to sit for dine-in. But that doesn't reflect on the quality & quantity of the food. To me, it reminds me of the hole-in-the-wall places you'd find in the city. No fluff, just really delicious authentic Chinese food. I got the hot sour soup, & it was one of the best I've had in a long time. My sons were equally impressed with their dishes as well. My wife & daughter got food from there on our recommendation & they were also very happy. The staff was friendly & patient with us being that it was our 1st time there, so that helps. So, if you're in San Ramon & hungry, skip the maistream places & give the Orient Express a try. I'll definitely be going back there again.

Great cheap and fast Chinese food to go! Our go to for hosting parties and need food in bulk. Salt and pepper fish and salt n pepper chicken are our go to dishes

Always generous portions, good fresh food, friendly but businesslike service. What a great choice if you need a lot of food and don't want to spend a lot of money. It may not be super high-end but it's very enjoyable American style Chinese food.

This place is awesome when I used to work in San Ramon I used to go there often, their food is great for it being fast Chinese food. Their salt and pepper chicken I would say stands out from the other dishes you can get there. They are very well priced for the amount of food you get and the service there has been great to me no complains to them about that. But it is not all that clean place nor does it have any seating inside because it is small but there are couple of tables outside that you can sit and eat. But it is mostly to go kinda restaurant.

Finally decided to give this place a try considering it's right next door to one of my favorite sushi spots. (Senro Sushi) I'm glad I stopped in because you get so much food for the price, like seriously panda express has nothing on this place. Chicken was recommended by the worker and it was decent for chinese, I wasn't expecting it to be gourmet or anything but for like 10 bucks you get over a pound of food so don't complain.

My family has been going to this place for years and it’s my fiancé’s favorite fast Chinese food! I always bring him back a big combo plate of the salt and pepper fish, lemon chicken, and chow mein. Generous portions, fast, and very tasty. The dumplings and egg rolls are really tasty as well.

It is very rare for me to leave a review but I just had to! This place is amazing the portions are huge and the food is beyond delicious. My husband and I ordered from here on a whim for the first time because it's so close by and will for sure be repeat customers.

My dad and I are regulars here. Super friendly family owned business. Food is a little greasy, but I absolutely love it. They pack as much as they can in for you. Almost all of the businesses next to it have gone in and out multiple times in the last few years alone, while they have been there consistently since 1990. Highly recommend.

This used to be my go to place when i have exhausted my options and am lazy about thinking what to eat. Their choices are limited. Price has gone up but so has everything else, they are still one of the cheapest with the most portions. You get the most bang for your buck. The taste is pretty consistent. I used to purchase food here about 2x per week pre-pandemic, i might have gotten tired of it for now so maybe 6 months was the last time i have been here. Try their salt and pepper chicken, its their bestseller.

Fast and easy service. The atmosphere is kind of numb. The Food is OK and typical. The portion is right for the price. I would not recommend it as a date night place or anything but if you need a filling lunch for a good price then this is the place to go.

It's really about a solid 3.5. The taste of the food is standard "fast Chinese food from the steam table" combined with fairly good price and portion size (value). Beats Panda Express at the very least. Overall, if this is what you're looking for, it can hit the spot. Four of us ate plenty of food for $40. The taste isn't going to blow anyone away (in a good way or a bad way) but everyone will probably be full and their wallet will be ok. Salted chicken was probably the best dish we got.

First time try the spot I ordered beef chow fun with bok choy, thought it tasted salty if they put less soy sauce on the noodle it would taste a little bit better

The food quality is bad. I ordered the HK Style Crispy Noodles, and the Singapore Fried Noodles. The portion is right, but Singapore Fried Noodles was very salty. As for the crispy noodle, they put the sauce on top of the noodle instead of a separate container for the sauce. which is common sense. When i told them that if you put them together the crispy noodle would no longer be crispy, the response was this is how they do it because this is HK Style!!!

Probably the worst Chinese food I’ve ever paid for. Even with hunger I couldn’t find and satisfaction in my meal. Food tasted old and just overall bad flavor. Walnut shrimp was like eating cardboard, salt and pepper chicken tasted like cardboard , this is the first restaurant in San Ramon that I have something to complain about. I thought San Ramon was known for having good food.

I would literally leave a zero! I was in line behind 2 people. I was up next, and an Asian woman LITERALLY stepped right in front of me !! The male employee was going to serve her her food! I was first!! When the female employee pointed out I was first, he just looked at me all shitty, and walked away. He left me standing there. I guess I was the wrong race. Very, very poor service. Racist restaurant
