The Orient Chinese - Edwardsville

Unfortunately, new ownership doesn't serve same fresh, great tasting food.

Small family run Resturant with limited seating. Order takes long to be processs as not many servers.

I don't usually leave reviews but this place deserved one. From the moment I walked in the service and food was exceptional. I live in the Alton area and I wish we had a Chinese place this good!!!!

I so wanted to enjoy my meal here. So disappointing. So to start off, as I'm waiting, one of the cooks comes out of the bathroom as the toilet is flushing. Come on man, you gotta wash your hands. He didn't even mime a wet hand motion. I should have left then and there, but oh well. The lunch special Sesame Chicken and side of lo mein were terrible. I get it, it's American Chinese food but this was a terrible representation of even that. Hard and flavorless rice, bland and cold chicken, the lo mein noodles tasted vaguely of soy sauce...and that's it. For this I was charged almost $20. I can only assume the other raving reviews are from people who have never eaten Chinese food elsewhere. But it was so disappointing and I will definitely never go back. I cannot emphasize just how bad this Lo Mein was. It made me stop my meal and immediately write a review, something I don't do

Food is your typical indulgent Chinese food in all the right ways. Servings are generous, the price is right, and they're always consistent
