Taste of the Orient Restaurant in Fort McMurray

Taste if the Orient, you cant surprise me ! Your food is always the same!.............Best!

Was Always Good! They are starting to slip...... DONT order the off the sweet basil menue for beef rice noodle; it will come swimming in sauce like a soup almost to the top of the bowl and they expect you to add your fish sauce on top of that. I use to go to sweet basil up in Gregor all the time and order it and its not edible now. I use to come to here for the vermicelli noodle bowl and that too was swimming in juice just not near as bad as the Sweet Basil menue item........ Ill give it one more shot in a while and hopefully I can increase my star reveiw, but unfortunately Ill have to take them down from my previous 4 stars down to 2 for now......

Went for the buffet that was advertised but they didn t have one that day so we left

Very nice buffet. I also appreciated that it wasnt very loud.

It was our first time dining in at this restaurant after the renovations were completed. Unfortunately, the dining experience did not match the new decor at all. The pho soup did not come with the bean sprouts which should be a given, had to wait 5 minutes to flag down the server when there was only one other table. The cook from the kitchen then delivered a small plate of bean sprouts with old (brown leaves) basil. Since I am being critical, the soup was bland and no flavour. My girlfriend ordered noodles with chicken which came super salty and disgusting. The chicken was hard and rubbery. I am not sure if the chicken was old or what but not tasteful at all and salty as well. Seems like it was a single, old chicken breast chopped up into cubes and lathered with salt and soy sauce.

Me and my wife have been looking for a Chinese restaurant for a long time. And weve finally found it. The food was so good and the price was just as good. 10 out of 10. We will be back

Ordered the plate for one. The broccoli and vegetables were beautifully cooked however the noodles tasted like instant noodles but the sweet and sour pork was old and dry and extremely hard. The rice looked recycled. I picked at the vegetables but could not eat the cold battered pork with a sweet sauce slathered all over it. I felt the food was mostly recycled and did not want to eat it.

Picked up on time but food was cold, asked for sauce on the side, was on the food.

At the moment when we paid, we forgot tips because we were speaking. However, the girl asked about the tips asked rudely. Be careful, please dont forget the tips or she will be rude.

Ordered in food thought we would give the dinner for three a go had three bites and put the food in the garbage ! Disgusting is being polite not sure this is even food ! Better off opening your door and throwing your money out in the air!! So gross I would never ever ever order from here again! Disgusting! Food made my wife and sick literally puking sick !! From the few bites we had ! So fricking bad !

Totally unhappy with the meal I ordered tonight Dec 23/22 We ordered chicken balls, Rice, moo goo guy pan, honey garlic ribs and 2 egg rolls. Well to start the egg rolls were the store bought ones not the usual Chineses food ones ( yuck) the ribs, I assume it was ribs had some batter over bones- no meat at all nearly broke a tooth when I bite into it. rice seemed to store bought frozen rice. Chicken balls and moo goo was just ok. We spent $90 and thought we d have enough for left overs but there wasn t enough for one meal and sure wouldn t want to eat it the second time. Disgusting and disappointing meal. I ll keep looking for good Chinese food.

They supplied our Christmas Dinner for 20 people on site at Kearl. The food was good, on time, and packed up very well.

Food was very good so was the sevice

My girlfriend and I just dined here. Amazing customer service, a full menu of great options, and when the food arrived it smelled and tasted wonderful. Nothing was greasy, or drowned in msg or sauces. Best Chinese food in town hands down. 10/10 would recommend this place to everyone I know and we will be back again for sure!

My boyfriend and I went for dinner here yesterday, February 9th 2023. Amazing service, very kind waitresses. We ordered Crispy ginger beef, regular ginger beef, salt and pepper squid, chicken chowmein noodles, chicken fried rice, and mozzarella stick. It was amazing, by far the best Chinese I ve had in fortmac. We ate in the restaurant and still had enough to take home for lunch the next day. Spent under $100 for the food. Will be going again. And took a take out menu as they re not on skip the dishes.

It was definitely the best, but lately it has not been as good. The last time we ordered there were frozen mixed veggies in the rice. With the amount we pay, I expect better. As well, it is definitely better when you eat in.

I see that many reviewers are very negative on this place. Funny thing is the staff are always friendly to me and since I do not like going to chain restaurants when I travel, I want to get something different and this place is one of the best mom and pops in town. I have a vegetarian friend who is very picky about his food, and this place is his favorite.

This restaurant was good food and good service at 1 point. Now they do not want to take orders for delivery. They want you to order through skip the dishes. I had been trying to place an order and they answered and hang up 3x. I guess they dont want my business.

Looked at menu on Google maps, ordered, went and picked up, saw updated menu with higher prices in store, paid higher price. This was unexpected and a bit frustrating. Please update the menu prices on Google maps.

Been coming here since 2013. Amazing food. No complaints. And the waiter is nice always very friendly and kind. Her service is welcoming. I suggest this place 1000% Combo for 1 delicious and very filling. Not cheap on the portions.

This was really good, I loved the chicken fry rice.

Good prices and great food

The service is a 10/10 The lady who answered the phone & took my order was so lovely. The delivery fellow was also Great

Take out, foods always great.

Food is alright.

Delicious delicious always. We had it for supper

Extremely poor customer service, dinner was a huge letdown in quality, taste and sizes, meal prices were high, eating here once was enough

I love this restaurant!! Ive only ever gotten delivery and its ALWAYS spectacular!! Delivery is fast and even though theyre coming from downtown our meals are always piping hot!!

Nice lunch with my son. Great service and good food

We always come to this place for Chinese food, every time we come to the town. The spices taste are perfect. The lady who serve so friendly.

Maybe I just got it on a bad night but I didn t enjoy my meal at all. The rice had burnt flavour and black specs all throughout it, the sweet and sour pork was full of cartilage, and was extremely tough. The beef and broccoli lacked any flavour but at least the broccoli wasn t over cooked. The egg roll and spring roll were especially disappointing as they lacked any flavour. The one thing I did enjoy was the spicy wonton soup, the veggies were fresh and not mushy at all, the wontons were delicious, the portion was great, it was an all around great soup.

Terrible. Unless you love everything deep fried twice, reheated, and China Lily Soya Sauce dumped on everything. Go, I dare you.

Really great food and friendly service

Amazing service and amazing food! Very accommodating

Had the dinner for one, so tasty and huge portions ... definitely coming back!

I didnt mind some things. But quite a few entrees seemed really...old and ... stale. Like its been reheated and put away and reheated , put away and re heated again for us to eat.

Good taste professional customer service

Definitely going back for more . Awesome service to

Stopped by here after work for take out on a Wednesday and found their food to be some of the freshest chinese food I have had in a while everything was superb. We had beef broccoli, Thai fried rice, chicken curry, deep fried ginger beef and spring rolls. This place is definitely in one of the top restaurants in this genre as we tried it tonight.

This restaurant has totally got down the toilet! Awful food... Cabbage eggrolls were gross! Burnt fried rice. Honey ginger beef when we ordered Hot Ginger beef! All in all it was terrible. I called to let them know and they wanted to remake it and send it again. No thanks!!!!! Do not want that meal twice, or ever again.

Always great food and service

We ordered a dinner for 6 on New Years Eve. We were very pleasantly surprised at how great the food was. Egg rolls were awesome. Honey chicken was delicious. Everything was fresh, hot and ready on time.

Great food. Fast and friendly service.

Amazing fried chicken as always yummy

I ordered my team lunch from this restaurant. We all ordered from the dinner for 1 part of the menu to maintain covid precautions. This restaurant decided to pack our meals all together, meaning we had to portion the meals ourselves. Half of my staff refused to eat, as this is not covid friendly. I ended up buying mcdonalds as they still package order separately. I will never visit or order from your restaurant again.

Good food

Dinner for two

Great food, full plates.

the best place for chinese food in town the shanghai noodles are the best <3

Fast friendly and delicious!

Real westernized chinese food.

Fabulous asian dishes, wonderfull service, great atmosphere.

The food we ordered by very good in both quality and quantity.

Just love food

Great food. Will go again.

Favorite place to get sweet and sour pork. Absolutely love it here. Dinner for 1 combo is always something I order when Im in town.

Rice tasted like metal and just...not good. Didnt get what i ordered...i just got different versions of the same thing in the same sauces. The tidbits are just battered fried items they cant selll. Mostly bones. Literraly battered bones. No meat, just bones. Mayb I ordered on an off night but I Highly recommend going elsewhere.

Terrible tasting food. Not cooked with love for cooking. People that knows good food, wouldnt eat that!

I liked the food. Was $18.99 for the dinner buffet....rice, noodles, wings, garlic ribs, shrimp, egg rolls, mussels, beef and vegetables, some egg thing(?)

Service is always super.. Enjoy good Chinese food there... Dinner buffets daily .

This is the worst restaurant in all of fort McMurray. The food has no flavor and the service is terrible. Dont get me started on their takeout service.

Staff was very cold. Food gone downhill in comparison to what it used to taste like. Had flavor at one time

Okay

Food is very good. Staff is friendly. Decor a little gloomy.

Not bad - foods ok

Awesome.

The lady in front is amazing! Food is great and the buffet is real value for the money. I love their noodles and their chili sauce.

Only place I get chinese food in town.

Just ok, typical Chinese style western food. The salad rolls were good.

Great food great service

Really good food...big servings and fresh.

The quality is top of the notch!

The meal was awesome I ordered dinner for one and there was more than enough to eat and the price was great for the amount of food they served

Nice place to go friendly service great food

Great spot for lunch, great prices and amazing wor wonton soup.

Chicken fried rice had no flavor. Ginger beef was ok tender but not enough flavor. Pork ribs was awful more fat than meat on the ribs no flavor. Beef and brocolli , brocolli not cooked and the beef there was 6 pieces of beef shaved so thin you could barely see it and the sauce was no sauce just a beef juice. Plain rice was ok how could you screw that up. Overall food was awful delivery was fast. For 80 spent on take out. I will not be eating here no more.

Its quiet and clean , service is always with a smile

it was a spiritual experience

Honestly, I wish I could review this better - I got ginger beef, and it might have been home-made, which is normally a good thing, but it was tough and just not as tasty as what youd expect from a typical Chinese restaurant. Service was friendly, and the interior was nice, but the meal left me a bit disappointed.

Our favorite restaurant in town. Has the best hot & sour soup. Both Chinese and Vietnamese. Reasonably priced. Great service.

Crappy food

Awesome food! Went for a friday-sunday buffet, atmosphere is relaxing, food is ready, great price, great food. Definitely coming back!

Great food for the price

Some of the best service in this town. The food is great

Good service good food

We really enjoy this spot it reminds us of Chinese food in NB.

We held a farewell party with 40 people and ordered alacarte using halal meats. The quality of the food and service were just marvellous . It is likely is the best Chinese restaurant in town !! Mushtaque

Good prices fresh food

The woman pick up the phone call really rude and rushing. Horrible service! Never go there again

Today , on 18th of July I was there at 8 pm, there was a Chinese person serving me (I did not ask his name) very rude and arrogant . He demonstrated me his disrespect when gave me my order. And was talking to me making a mean face. I am writing that because it might help to make him change such attitude or the owner could find a better employee.

Close to home

Food are good and delicious

Cozy Setting, Good Prices, Our Favorite Chinese Food Place:)

Buffet style, you can try and whatever you don t like than you don t have that next time. Buffet anywhere is way cheaper than by a meal. You get to try things you never thought you like too. Way better than Frontier, it s always fresh as far as we know lol, cheaper, and all you can eat.

My fav chinese food resto.just hope u also serve some soimai

The meal was priced right and taste good food was prepared quick

Raw chicken balls & chowmein had no flavour.

Amazing place to dine in at cheap price, I went in for the buffet which starts 5pm everyday.

Wonton soup is good

Best Chinese food in town. The wonton soup is amazing and the pan fried noodles are addictive. Have gone once a week for take out. Love the food

I read the bad reviews, especially taste of puke and thought it cant be that bad. It was f*ing disgusting. Hands down the worst food in town. I tasted puke soon after eating there because it made me sick. STAY AWAY!

I was beyond disappointed with this restaurant. The only positive aspect of my experience was that they had a fifa game on TV. Food prices in Fort Mac are generally expensive so i wasnt surprised by the cost. The chicken dish we ordered to go with Chow Mein turned out to be 60% vegetables and if you could find a piece of chicken, youd quickly realize it was just briefly cooked without any real flavor. This was probably the first time I ever walked out of a restaurant without even finishing half of the food i ordered.

Thought the food and service were great a little costly but good
