Very disappointing, ordered 2 separate orders of “dinner for one”. It’s Obvious the sweet and sour pork is frozen and purchased from a store. There was no chicken in the “ chicken chow mein”. Food gives you an upset stomach. Overall disappointing, heard good things about this restaurant but unfortunately isn’t worth the money.

It is kind of ugly on the outside, but very beautiful on the inside. Staff has an accent but the lady that served me was very kind and polite. Filled myself up for about 30$ with plenty of leftovers to boot. Did not experience upset stomach afterwards and will definitely be coming back here again.

I feel as if this place is a hidden gem. Came here at 7:00PM and no other customers. The staff was very friendly and great with serving me(keeping my water filled.) The food is amazing quality with a large amount, at a cheap price!

Came for a pic up order. Been bedridden for months. Went to pic up my order. The waitress behind the till didn't acknowledge me as she waited on a man ordering for a funeral order. I sat and waited and validated the nice man. The waitress ignored me, no one in the restaurant. After a while I said can I get my pic up. She was rude. Took my order home. It was greasy and no chicken in it. I phoned and she didn't validate me. I asked to speak to the owner and he didn't validate me and said he wouldn't give me a refund. The worst restaurant ever. I could only put 1 star, if it let me I would give a negative and get them shut down. No validation whatsoever. I took my food back with one young man in the restaurant and the waitress was in the back and didn't acknowledge me. Disrespectful. I brought my food back. I said to the lady why are you not helping me? Then 2 men came out and insulted me. They said to go to another restaurant. Then i called back for validation and the young lady laughed at me. Then later I called back to the owner/Manger he said go to another Restaurant. Please go to another Restaurant. Do not give them your hard earned money. The owner said the $500 order was more important than my pick up. Horrible people

Old man answered the phone, said it will need to be over 100$ worth of food to deliver on the south shore, then he mumbled something and started a sentence halfway through before stopping with dead silence for 15 seconds and hung up. Phoned back & a female answered my delivery request that came to 35$. Hilarious way to run a business. Wheelchair accessibility: Theres wheels on a chair, so you can not walk.

Terrible egg rolls. Actually had peas in them! So westernized. Had the chicken chow mein which was ok enough to eat but never again. The deep fried prawns were awful. Had veins in them and one of them was oddly hard. Like it was cooked in a microwave and overdone? I dont understand how some people think this is the best chinese restaurant in town.

This was an interesting little treasure thats tucked away in the North Shore of Kamloops. Despite the limited parking, it has some interesting interior decor with a huge fish tank. Not busy at all when we attended. The staff was super friendly and the food was very fresh. Parking: Limited spaces available.

My favorite chinese food in town! The prices have gone up, once was the most reasonable priced place in town. This is understandable though, as everyone elses prices went up too. This time the egg Foo young tasted bland and too thick, but normally the food is great, and does not leave you with that, I ate too much Chinese food gut. Keep it up please!

Ive been going to/ordering from this restaurant for over 25 years (since they were up the hill in Aberdeen) and I keep getting great food and great service. This is one of my favourite restaurants in Kamloops and I cannot recommend it enough! Large menu with excellent selections. I highly recommend the Phoenix nest and one of the fried rice options (all are good)!

Ordered take out and they hid the burnt noodles on the bottom and when I phoned to let them know all I got was attitude and they talked to me like I was an idiot! The only reason you got one star was so I can write the review. If I can give negative stars I would terrible food and worse service.

Our Family enjoys the food from here. We dine in when were in town, cause wes country bumpkins. Seems they do a ton of orders for delivery and alot of folks pickup. Its like this everytime where there. Seating is limited but has always been empty like I said they are very busy cause the food is good. Parking: Parking is behind the building small 5 car lot steep hill from lot to side door. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair will possibly need a push. Ground level establishment.

Today was our very first time ordering from Oriental Express Kamloops. The food was 10/10. The customer service was 10/10. When we told the lovely lady at the reception desk it was our first time, she was sure to gift us a comlimentary Won Ton soup. As we waited in our car for the order, the chef hand delivered our food. We got home and stuffed our faces, and we hardly put a dent in our huge portions. Every item was delicious. What a great discovery

We were driving into Kamloops late at 9 pm. Surprisingly, most Restrantant were closed on a Saturday night the staff was very happy to have our order ready.... But we arrived after closing. Another couple was picking up at the same time. Most of the food was great, but the ginger beef was substandard for North America Chinese food. The fried chicken dumplings were amazing Thank you for working late to have our order ready. Parking: Behind the restaurant.

Restaurant was very clean. Quiet atmosphere, we were the only customers. Staff was friendly. Got the Combo A for 1. Food was typical chinese food. Nothing really stands out. Portions were large. I was filled up and took home enough for another full meal. Prices were reasonable/good. Would order again.

I have to write this review in Chinese so that people who really understand Cantonese food dont miss this restaurant. I was passing through Kamloops on my trip and stumbled into this store. First, the conclusion: the boss is a gourmet, he studies every dish (that is, he has tips on how to make it delicious)! You may eat here the best plain-cut chicken you have ever eaten in your life - tender, juicy, no fishy smell, no blood, and the ginger and green onion sauce is full of original flavor. I have lived in Guangdong for more than 20 years and in Vancouver for many years. I think the taste of this Cantonese restaurant is top-notch even in Vancouver and Richmond. I won t go into details. The boss is very talkative and willing to share. If you are willing to listen, he will tell you the production and story behind each dish. If you plan to try it, hurry up, because the boss is old and is already considering transferring the store and living in Guangdong. By the way, his wontons are also delicious, and you can buy his brand of wontons in T&T. (Sorry, I lost the wonton packaging bag and forgot what brand it is. If anyone knows, please add it below. I also want to buy it and eat it in Vancouver.) Very important addition: don t order from the menu, tell the boss directly what you want to eat or ask the boss for recommendations. The truly authentic and delicious ones may be off the menu.

My family decided to take a detour to Kelowna by passing by Kamloops for Lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the food. The fried noodle was crispy and the sweet sour pork had a good proportion of tender meat to batter ratio. The owner was friendly and we exchanged a lot of talk about culture and history. Super glad we took this detour.

Used to have the best Chinese food, not sure what happened, could be just with the take out. Very little sweet & sour portion and not enough sauce with a full Amy of chow mein

December 22, 2023

After ordering numerous times I called to place an order one day and suddenly the older man tells me no its to far after taking my order which was going to be close to $60. After years of being a loyal customer you let being rude ruin that. I see many others experience the same. Very sad I enjoyed your food very much.

VERY RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL

December 22, 2022

Oriental Express on 8th Street (northshore) in kamloops BC is sooooo rude! They delivered the wrong food and when I called they told me to come and pick up the correct order. The owner or some man came from the back, gave me 12 dollars, and a bag of food. He told me never to come back and pushed me. He pushed me!! I HAD TO TELL HIM TO DONT TOUCH ME FOUR TIMES. In the times of covid this man was in my space, and touching me. I have a video of this happening. He called me a liar, about them delivering the wrong food. I went in and asked for a refund for part of the meal. Pay 42 dollars for not what I ordered, yeah right. They yelled at me until I was out of the place. My husband returned all the food. He wasnt yelled at or physically intimated. Im a 51 woman.

Went here with my family for the first time and was very impressed with the food and service. The owners were super friendly and gave us some recommendations. We were recommended the wonton soup, vegetable chop suey and the singapore style vermicelli which were all really good. We also ordered the salt and pepper fried chicken, mongolian beef, and sweet and sour pork. The portions here are pretty big and the prices are very reasonable. We even found their wontons in Walmart! We will be sure to return here when we visit Kamloops again.

This restaurant is really great and food are awesome, ordered wontons soup, noodles, and braised beef, wow I was shocked by the beef, literally better than most of the restaurant in town. Really love the place and will recommend as well. The boss and his wife are very enthusiastic. I like fried rice, fried noodles, wonton soup, braised beef, and Lu pig trotters very authentic. However, it is recommended to call a day in advance to order the braised beef. Because it takes time to marinate. Very delicious, you won t be disappointed

I ordered food from this restaurant because I read so many great reviews... how could it be bad I thought?? Well It was some of the worst chinese food Ive had in my life. The staff was friendly, I am only leaving a one star review to save others who know what good chinese food is the disappointment. I do not understand how there are SO many good reviews on the food.. If you like your sweet and sour pork radioctive red or ginger beef that was the wrong color (also radioactive red) both dishes with only a few sliced onions dyed red... THEN look no further... this IS the place for you.. But for me...I would honestly buy chinese food from the freezer aisle at a grocery store before coming back here.

Nice authentic food. Beats any other Chinese restaurant in town, in my opinion. It has a clean interior, nice bright dining area, staff are always very friendly and it just has good energy. Also, you can tell that they dont use MSG. I have been to many others and they use MSG, never went back to those ones. Will continue to and always give Oriental Express my business when I need to fix a chinese food craving.

December 22, 2021

Can be decent, but this combination for one was VERY disappointing. The three sides were so mixed together that they all lost their Lustre. Half of the sweet and sour pork was dry, and the majority of the sauce was soaked into the rice. When I called to complain, I was told that thats how they make it, which is complete BS! And then to top it off, when I continued to question that nonsense, I was told that I could order from somewhere else. Worst customer service ever!

Very friendly woman who took my order and served me when I picked it up. Portions were decent size. We ordered chicken chow mien, dry garlic pork, garlic dumplings, seasame chicken and deep fried wontons. The chicken chow mien and garlic dumplings were ok but the other 3 dishes were gross and tasted like old burnt deep fryer grease, you couldnt even tell they were different dishes by the gross taste, they all tasted the exact same. The chicken chow mien had more onions than chicken in it maybe 15 small slivers of chicken in the whole dish. First time ordering here and probably the last, I cant get the gross taste out of my mouth.

We heard this place was great, so we tried it yesterday. Honestly, it was the grossest Chinese food weve ever had. We ordered spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken balls, chicken chow mein, and beef fried rice. Everything was super salty. Usually chow mein has veggies, but this one had no veg and had a bbq flavour..? The chicken balls were awful, too (rubbery texture). Floor was sticky, and no music or anything, so you hear everyones conversations. Id steer clear if this restaurant, unfortunately :/

Very enjoyable atmosphere However it is to bad when you want to go and just have a pop they have decided in the last three visits to charge me 2.00$ for a pop then $2.50 for a pop then last time was $3.00 for a pop stating they had a minimum requirement for sitting however I was the only person in the restaurant so not very good customer relations

We have ordered here several times and have never been disappointed! Tonight we had the sweet and sour chicken balls, special chow mein, garlic dumplings and a beef dish, it was all so delicious and well seasoned. Portions are generous, vegetables are fresh and crunchy. Service is always friendly and they deliver to Westsyde which is a bonus. I meant to post pictures of the food but it was gone too fast.

Service is okay, but I ordered some crispy shrimp and it was extremely greasy, doughy and tasteless. They don t clean the shrimp properly, I am a cook and when you cook shrimp you need to cut the back to take the intestines out. I ve also ordered shrimp rice there and was also very greasy and the shrimp was not cleaned properly too. I do not recommend.

The worst customer service ever. Very unprofessional. I went with a group of friends and was told that my order was too complicated just because I asked for extra veggies. The wrong dish was served and the man who take our order kept repeating your order is too complicated, not for me but for the kitchen, the kitchen gets angry. Definitely never going back to this restaurant.
