I order a large General Tsos Chicken every week for lunch. It has a completely home made sauce and all white meat chicken with plenty of mixed veggies. This is by far the best General Tsos I have ever had. I travel all over the world for work and I always miss this when I am away. I have been to thousands, yes thousands, of other places and none of them even compare to Orients food. This place is cash only and is a bit of a hole in the wall, but I could easily eat there every day and would never complain. BTW: During lunch time the place is crazy (like out the door). Come at 11am or after 1pm and your fine.

The veg Pad Thai might look anemic at first glance, with pale sauce void of brown soy, but between the noodles it packs a powerhouse of flavors from sweet onion to spicy pepper. Could use a touch more vegetables for my preference, but overall satisfying and would order it again. The restaurant does a brisk carryout business, and if youre not in love with the unassuming dining room, you can enjoy the food in your own surroundings.

Convenient, cheap, and clean, this place was a welcome discovery in Downtown. The owner took my carryout order in a courteous and professional manner, then proceeded to fill it in less than ten minutes. I got Buddahs Delight and hot and sour soup; the main dish had huge chunks of tofu dressed with the right amount of sauce and vegetables, while the soup was blazing hot and very fresh tasting. Ill certainly be back.

Good value for money. Not a fancy place, but food is closer to authentic Asian than other more Asian American places. The people who run the store are Chinese - so you can practice your Mandarin if you wish. Kung Pao Beef is good. You can also try the Pad Thai. They accept credit cards now (Visa and MasterCard). The place gets busy lunch time, but dinner time its usually not crowded

Stoped in to try this place out because of the positive reviews. Took ten minutes to get a menu and ask what I wanted to drink, the older man running the dinning room seemed overwhelmed. My pan fried noodle dish was sub par compared to even just an average Chinese restaurant. I probably will not be back...the 2 stars is for the price, fairly cheep!

I ordered the Kung pao vegetarian dish with no bell pepper, and it came with nothing but water chestnuts and onions in sauce with a few peanuts on top next to a couple scoops of rice. I feel like I need to go get another lunch somewhere else, but I dont want to spend the money.

Inexpensive and delicious. Food made in store and not frozen. Tried the Pad Thai. Loved it. All the homemade sauces are great. Chicken fried rice was the best I have had in a long time.

Hole in the wall, out of the way, with the best pho in the area and great pad thai, cheap at about $6.50 per person. We stop here every time we come to Cincinnati!

Great Chicken Pad Thai!! Very nice staff, hole in the wall, but really awesome little place, very reasonable prices! Try it out!
