Oriental Express - Hickory

Food is always good and fresh with the exception of the wontons. Wontons are not fresh they taste old and they have very little filling. They used to be the best definitely not the case anymore.

Of all chinese restaurants in hickory, I'd say this one is one of the better places. I like the wings and lo mein... some places, their food taste like a metal wok

After seeing the 4+ star reviews, we ordered takeout from here. Hubs had the sweet-and-sour chicken, and the red sauce was the consistency of jelly. It was way too thick.I ordered the Japanese vegetables, which arrived floating in a sweet soy sauce. The fried rice is ordinary yellow rice--not fried, and no flavor at all. The yum-yum type sauce was incredibly sweet, as well. The best part of our meal was the two small spring rolls (small, as in, the size of my pinky finger).It was as if everything they served was overly sweet, including the sweet carrots, which may as well have been candied, and the free syrupy-sweet tea that came with my husband 's meal.Neither of us was able to finish our meal, as the sweetness quickly became cloying. We will not order here again.

I eat here from time to time. Food is good and fast service.

Food is amazing but customer service is horrible. Got my order wrong and I didn’t make a big deal about it but girl in front wanna have an attitude and when she brought out my food I’m tryna ask for some sauces but she wanna walk away.
