Oriental Gardens Restaurant Ltd, located in Kamloops, offers both Chinese and Japanese cuisine to choose from. We have been serving the locals for over 30 years. Stop by our restaurant soon!
Consistency in quality, quantity and service. Always excellent. We have been eating here since the 80s. We love the ambiance as well. It is clean and usually a quiet, calm atmosphere for an intimate dinning experience.
Great atmosphere, great service, even better food and plenty of menu items to choose, the price and quality are certain to satiate and satisfy your hunger great portions per dish.
We went to Oriental Gardens Restaurant tonight for dinner, and it was another great experience. The place was busy, but we were seated quickly, and the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, and our waitress checked in with us often to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious with big portions, so much so that when the rest of the dishes arrived, they smelled so good that we forgot to take pictures! We’re only posting three photos because we were too excited to dig into the rest. Oriental Gardens never disappoints, and I knew it was the perfect spot to bring my mom, who’s in town for a visit. Highly recommended!
We visited Kamloops and were craving some Asian food so we don't mind to pay premium. The restaurant has really nice decor, but the service was the opposite. We waited 15mins to order and another 15 mins for the food. The menu says provincial tax was 10%?!!!! Did they have another restaurant in NS or NB? And we were placed at the tatami room without being told that each person was charged $.7.
During a recent visit to Kamloops, I had the pleasure of dining at Oriental Garden restaurant, and it was an experience worth sharing. The menu offered a variety of enticing options, and we decided to try the chicken fried rice, spicy chicken noodles, dynamite sushi, and udon with karaage chicken. From the first bite, it was clear that the food was prepared with great attention to detail. The chicken fried rice was perfectly seasoned. The spicy chicken noodles packed a flavorful punch. The dynamite sushi was a delightful explosion of flavors, fresh and well-prepared. The udon with karaage chicken stood out with its rich broth and crispy, tender chicken pieces. The staff at Oriental Garden were exceptionally polite and attentive, adding to the overall positive dining experience. In summary, Oriental Garden in Kamloops exceeded our expectations. The delicious food and outstanding service make it a must-visit for anyone in the area. I highly recommend trying their diverse menu for an unforgettable dining experience.
What a beautiful place 😍 ❤️ after visiting Oriental Gardens, now Japan is on my bucket list. I love the food 😋 so much that I overeat. In this world of small hearted restaurants, you are serving a good portion of love for dinner and for next day lunch. THANK-YOU for such a beautiful and satisfying experience. I adore the intrirror, I was lost in detailing for some time. It's a mini Japan inside the kamloops.
Absolutely the perfect Asian dining experience. Serving Chinese, Japanese, and sushi. Its all delicious, servings are massive, the service is first class, and the restaurant itself is gorgeous. If you're looking for a flawless night out, this is the place, they get it right every time without fail.
Excellent food , Excellent Service. Took my parents there for Anniversary it's tradition
I didnt even want to give it 1 star who orders Chinese food without soya sauce. It was a waist of $90 spent for take out. The sweet and sour pork was terrible wasnt even able to make up for having no soya sauce. And yes we asked for soya sauce.
So good,
The aura and the dining experience. Just amazing. This place needs more promotion. Food
Great service, prices, food was amazing!!!
Great food friendly staff
The food was great, just wish they had more combination plates
Everywhere else all you can taste is salt. Here you taste the food.
The size of the dishes is big enough, but they are too salty.
Had a wonderful time, made sure to get a private booth. Delicious food and drinks. Amazing sushi and fried rice.
Perfect food, all people are so polite, very beautifully designed
Best Chinese food in Kamloops
Service and food was amazing !! Highly recommend
I am pretty sure this is the best Chinese restaurant in Kamloops. We ordered wonton soup, Hunan fried noodles and roasted duck. They are so tasted that we ate them all!
The ambience was very nice, we had a Tatami room and it was lovely and the service was super. The food was also amazing. I have a severe gluten allergy and I had NO concerns, I was totally confident the food was prepared safely. Thank you for a nice evening meal while travelling through Kamloops. ( parking is also free for 2 hours while eating here - a nice little bonus ). Dietary restrictions: GF was very well addressed and I had zero concerns about eating here. Waitress was attentive to my dietary concern. Thank you. PS. LOVED the Pea and Egg Swirl Soup. Very yummy.
Food was great but my cousin was charged for something she didnt order. They misheard scallops, she wanted salmon. They didnt correct it and insisted that she indeed ordered the scallops
The portions are very generous. When you order meat dish there s actually ample meat. The restaurant does cater to a most western palate of Chinese food. The atmosphere is a little stereotypical as you won t normally won t combine Chinese and Japanese cuisine in one restaurant. But that s ok you get a variety. I asked for a tea wit no ice and the were very accommodating. In all a very good experience. Parking: Free 2 hour parking next to the restaurant you inform the restaurant the license plate
Amazing, fresh, delicious food!! Highly recommend!!
Food was amazing, and portion size was great. Ordered the Chinese dinner for 1 and loved it. Fresh store-made eggs rolls were amazing. Definately recommend.
Ordered in. The Toro Nigeria was unbeatable, old, stiff gross really. Sorry but this place is gone so far downhill, I will not be back. Mediocre at best. Very inconsistent.
Fantastic! First, seems kinda weird for a restaurant to offer but Chinese and Japanese food but, for me first experience, it is great. The interior is Japanese styling and is very well done. We went for the Chinese food tonight and every dish was up there for the best Ive had, and Im a recent immigrant from Vancouver. Sweet and Sour pork, Almond chicken, beef chop suey, and chicken chow main were all fantastic. I snuck a piece of California roll from my kiddo and it was fantastic. Next time we go back well give the Japanese menu some attention. Think weve hit nearly all the Chinese restaurants in town and without any doubt this is best. Highly recommend. Parking: 2 hrs free but needs to be registered at counter
Meal had no flavor.
Best experience of Chinese food in the town.
This restaurant has been a part of Kamloops for over 50 years. Great service, great atmosphere, great food. The private paper walled rooms are a great touch. Parking: Payed parking lot but can get it validated inside. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible
Excellent food in a great atmosphere.
I love this place! Great people, the atmosphere and food is amazing!
Best Chinese in town!
Fast service, delicious food, reasonable prices love it there! :)
Weve eaten in and gotten take out from Oriental Gardens for over 10 years and have never had a bad experience. Not even a poor experience whether in quality of food or service. Best Chinese food in Kamloops.
Fantastic
Its seeming harder to find good chinese food these days but this is a pretty good place.
Quick service friendly. Take out and once l got home food was excellent and never any complaints. Keep up the excellent food
Best Asian food ever.
Only questions were parking and atmosphere. Atmosphere not as good as food and service. Atmosphere consistent with a good mid level restaurant.
Love this place.Food is so great,fast and friendly service.The staff will do almost anything to accommodate you! If I stay overnight in Kamloops, this is where I eat! Parking: They have their own parking lot,2 hour free parking but you have to register your plate number once you go into the restaurant.If you dont you will be towed!There is also free street parking after 5 pm.
Ordered take out today and great service. Food had so much flavor. Quality food !
Loved the environment of this restaurant. Staff was great and food was amazing. Ordered combination dinner. Surprised with how much we got. Highly recommend.
Outstanding!!! Always delicious, always consistent, generous portions and amazing service. Thank you
Great food with a huge menu. The staff were very friendly and food was quick. Prices were reasonable. We went back several times while we were here.
The restaurant is beautiful and the staff are super friendly. The food was delicious. Would definitely go back!
Paid around 110 for food and it was very disappointing. The sweet and sour pork was chewy and hard. The noodles were meh , the chicken fried rice had barely any chicken in it and the pieces that were in there were rubbery, only decent food was mushroom egg foo young. Definitely not worth 110 $ will not be ordering from here again.
Parking: They dont tell you that you dont have to pay for parking until you are INSIDE and have already paid lmfao Food
Great Food
Love coming here. Its been a fixture in Kamloops for a very long time and is still a city favourite!
A Kamloops Icon. I had the birds nest and could eat this everyday it was soooo good. I sat next to the pond and really enjoyed hearing the moving water during my meal.
Best in Kamloops. Could add more dinner for two options, other than that, it s a great spot.
Good Chinese food!
We arrived without a reservation and they sat us at a table where a party did not show up which was great but we were 3 people at a table for 8. Because of that they wanted us out fast - the food came immediately and was spot on but the server and bus girl basically rushed us out so they could have the table back which was a bit off putting... All in all though highly reccomend.
The food here is so consistently delicious! It s my favourite restaurant for Chinese and sushi. Delivery is quick and the owners/people who work there are so polite, including the delivery person!
My take out dinner tonight was delicious. Lettuce wraps, chicken fried rice and two Chinese combination dinners. Thank you, OG. Vegetarian options: Tonnes of options. Parking: Impark 2hr parking or City of Kamloops street parking. Kid-friendliness: Private Tatami rooms for a fun eat in experience.
Great food. Excellent service. Restaurant hasnt changed in ages. Grest place 10/10
Vegetarian options: Buddhas Feast, and many dishes can be made without meat. Food
Food was for the most part good minus having to remind our server multiple times to bring our food and drinks to us the first second and 3rd time. It was a nice place to eat at for the seating just a little loud and could hear everyones convo word for word.
Enjoyed dinning at Oriental Gardens restaurant so much.l! Staff and treat you like family with amazing high quality meals. I was so impressed by the prompt service, tasty dishes, generous portions and outstanding ambiance My family ordered the house special chow mein, beef curry rice, Buddhas delight, chickens birds nest, and sushi combo B. The noodles in the chow mein and birds nest were crispy and complimented the dish perfectly. I found every dish was flavourful and not too salty Will be coming back for my next visit to Kamloops
What an authentic Chinese restaurant in the heart of Kamloops. Had the combination dinner and egg rolls. Delicious. Food
Best Chinese food in Kamloops hands down! Alway delicious, always fresh!
Great food very fast service no need to ask for water, or tea refills they are on it before you ask. Lots of people were there and they were still very fast I would highly recommend to try it out!!
Easily my go to alot for sushi in Kamloops. Great prices and pretty solid quality rolls
The food was really good. Large portions are meant to be shared. Was pleasantly surprised as I went in not knowing what to expect.
Very nice restaurant, service is great, food is very good and fair price!
Our go to for Chinese & Japanese! The tatami rooms are a fun experience. Delicious food and attentive staff. Accommodates small or large groups.
Beef Noodles were excellent, so was teriyaki chicken (the chicken could have been slightly less burnt). Great service. Nice ambience. Parking: Free parking for 2 hours. Kid-friendliness: Great for kids.
This is the way to run a restaurant, they made a mistake with our order and more than made up for it. Great service, keep it up!
We reserved a Tatami room last night. Service was quick and efficient, lovely waitresses were fun and engaging. Our meals came quick and were delicious. Thankyou Oriental Gardens for an exceptional dining experience.
Wonderful tasting food that did not take long to be served. Nice and attentive staff.
Tasty dinner, friendly efficient service. We highly recommend.
Great atmosphere, quick service, overall awesome experience!
The best Chinese and Japanese cuisine in town. Fresh seafood and a great experience.
Staff was very friendly. We never had to wait for a refill or ask for anything as they were sure to check often. Food was authentic and served very quickly, fresh, hot and delicious. The dining room was very quiet and clean with relaxing sounds from the fountain. Parking: Free 2 hour parking, take your license to the counter Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and welcoming to younger ones
Never a bad experience. The house special chow mein with crispy noodles is my favorite, delicious.
Our family was welcomed right away, given a beautiful private room for us to enjoy food, and prompt service. We had a great first experience here and will go back again when in the area.
Best sushi in town Dietary restrictions: Ask Parking: Free parking Kid-friendliness: Kids chairs
Amazing customer service. The food came super fast and was cooked perfectly!
Never had a bad meal for the past 19 years
Have tried to place rather large orders for pick up on numerous occasions and thought it would be helpful for them if I got it in early. They pick up the phone to only tell me to call back when they are open. Maybe don t pick the phone up. Unfortunately at 5:00 pm I m on commute. So I ll go back to Victoria which will take my order ahead of time.
Best food in town very reasonable priced
Without words. By far the best Asian restaurant we have ever visited. Everything just fits. Super!
The restaurant was good. For parking, you park in the parking lot beside it, go inside, and they validate. Large servings of well prepared foods. Very busy, so a bit loud, but you can get a private room table as it is a Japanese as well as a Chinese restaurant.
Great food!!
Dinner was excellent. The service was speedy, without feeling like we were rushed. Very attentive staff. The food was so delicious, hot and fresh. The atmosphere and dining area is very clean and peaceful. By far THE best Chinese food in Kamloops.
Omg hands down best spot for anything Asian style cooking in Kamloops, also very cool inside! Also the service and speed is honestly impressive.
My family came to visit Kamloops from Vancouver. As Asian, I believe the restaurant is really good, the food is very good, the portion is big, everything is good! Highly recommend.
A Kamloops institution. Solid food and decent prices. The Sushi here is great too, although the sushi bar hasnt been open since COVID restrictions. Went there last night and wasnt dissappointed.
Best in kamloops
i havent been there for many years, and the food was fantastic, great service, however all of our food came at different times, not synced for our table.
I could enjoy Japanese and Chinese cuisine in one place. Kids were surprised for indoor pond. It is a good place for meeting in private room.
Loved the place and the vibe, service was lightning fast and hosts were really respectfull and helpfull, been here a bunch of times .Pretty good for the first dates
Like I was back in 1985. The way I remember Chinese food. Service was fantastic!
My first visit and I love everything about the restaurant, staff were polite and wonderful and the food was to die for. Thank you for a beautiful evening.
Please do not waste your money or time on this has been restaurant. The food was tasteless and the service lack luster Food
Best, Chinese food in Kamloops.9
It was busy good was amazing
Fantastic meal! Sushi was amazing
Best Chinese food on town
Good service , had take out and everything was hot and fresh. Will be back
I moved to Kamloops from Vancouver and found that Oriental Gardens served the same quality of Chinese food I became accustomed to from lower mainland BC. They are always friendly and provide efficient service. I ve dined in and done take out several times with no issue s whatsoever.
Weve been here twice now, each time we managed to get a booth, which is a small divisioned room with the Inset tables. The staff are so polite and friendly and always good at recommending favourites. Theres always plenty of food which can be taken away if left over. Lovely atmosphere and will for certain be going back again.
Spent over $280 of food before taxes and tips. I find the quality and the service isnt same as before.
Always my favorite place to eat. War wonton soup is unparalleled Birds nest is fresh and delicious Veggies are always crisp and fresh Dishes eat taste diff and stand on their own. Recommend
Best of both, when you can enjoy Japanes & Chinese cuisine. The food is top notch & the service is excellent. Hands down the best Asian food in Kamloops
As always simple and great food.
Amazing food, staff were super friendly, and the Interior of the restaurant is gorgeous.
Thanks guys. Great food (we had Japanese sushi) and friendly service. Will come back.
Very good clean food!! The BBQ duck is a must have. Fresh and Juicy!!
Everything tasted the same, greasy just slid right down my throat!! The wor wonton soup was bussin ong!!
Food was good not great but prices were outrageous for what you get.
IF you understand that the North American West was wrest into submission by the railroads and the men who built those rails were fed by THIS place, then you MUST eat here. For those of us fortunate enough to be passing through on the Rocky Mountaineer line, then it s conveniently across from the hotel here in downtown KAMLOOPS! AND the food is SPECTACULAR!
Okay, seriously the best chineese food hands down! I have tried almost every chineese restaurant in Kamloops since moving here from the lower mainland. This restraunt is authentic, great atmosphere, the service is top notch and the food is beyond delicous ! Ill be back again tomorrow!
Very friendly. Great service.Delicious Sushi! I had a great seat. Perfect for one. Only downside was they were voraciously wiping menus down next to me. The activity and smell of disinfectant right next to me wasnt ideal. I would hope they could do this away from diners...aside from that...sushi, warm saki and service was really great. Def. Recommend and look forward to trying more menu items. Likely delivered next time...
Great food and great prices!! Highly recommend
Quiet ambience and delicious food.
Wait till you taste their teriyaki chicken. Absolutely the best. Very nice people and place.
TThe staff are nice The food was great
Great ambiance and food. Very friendly staff.
Awesome ambience with friendly staffs and good food. They were able to serve us 7 people and we were all satisfied and happy. Thank you.
Extremely clean and neat restaurant, I went with my family and we enjoyed he tasty Chinese food over there. The Deep Fried Ice Cream was so nice dessert and this is very rare to get it. Customers will be served with delicious and tasty Chinese and Japanese dishes. They also have a sushi bar. I liked their décor and friendly service. The tatami rooms were added attractive and they can even accommodate up to 16 people for a special celebration. The restaurant was located at 545 Victoria street, Kamloops BC.
Excellent meal and service will be back soon
The food and service was exceptional
Very nicely decorated. Very polite staff. Large portions to share
Excellent service. The food is always so delicious. Very clean restaurant. Love going here.
Incredible place to eat, if you eat a lot this place is ideal for you, since the food dishes are very well served and the staffs attention is incredible, there is also a space to eat like in a typical Japanese house, without forgetting that the place and its decoration are great. The food that you dont finish and you want to take home is placed in a container and you take it with you.
Excellent service! Water glasses never ran dry. Nice decor and atmosphere, although we did notice an abundance of silver-haired clientele. Food was amazing! We ordered way too much! Dishes can easily be for sharing. Rice mountain was good for 4-5 people. Chow Mein again good for at least 3 people. Starters/appetisers very tasty! Parking also refunded / validated with receipt.
These were the best Chinese takeaways that I hsve had got s long time. The service and food was excellent and I highly recommend this restaurant.
The Chinese takeaways were the best that I have had in a very long time. The service was extremely quick and staff were fantastic. I would highly recommend.
Their staffs are so friendly and food was delicious! We loved the decorations in the restaurant and the varieties of choices on their menu. Absolutely wonderful experience!
Amazing service and food was very good too! 100% would go again. Definitely a must try in Kamloops!
Very good food and service Recommend!
Nice restaurant and cozy atmosphere. Very nice staffs with phenominal meal. Definitely great choice for awesome Asian food.
Great food! Probably best chinese food Ive ever tasted. Great service, no long wait...7 in our group Thank you very much. Will stop in again next time Im Kamloops
Great value and fantastic staff.
Best Chinese food in the city 5 stars
Service was exceptional. Food was fresh and hot. Wide variety of Chinese and Japanese dishes. We had a room and it was a lot of fun. Well served.
Great atmosphere, both Chinese and Japanese on the menu.
Awesome food, delicious variety, love having a booth for the extra experience.
I enjoy the food and the service. It is a nice dining experience with an inviting decor.
Love the place, love the portion and services. We had a beef hot pot, with lots of tender beef slices with tasty gravy composed by (I figured out by tasting it) oyster sauce, sesame oil and little starch to make it sticky. Good with a bowl of steamed rice. As for the veggie, we had bok choy with Chinese sweet sausage. The sausage is so good, it s so authentic. Will definitely visit here again very soon.
Absolute best restaurant in town for me. Everything is clearly fresh, great service, and great prices
Fresh and delicious. Will be back!
A very good Asian restaurant. They have both Chinese and Japanese food. Very nice service. We had a good time here last week. I like their Beef Tomato Fried Rice. If you have a chance and like tomato, give it a try.
Excellent service and great food
Good food, prompt service, always fresh, and very courteous staff. Parking: Pay for parking, but they give back to you, once inside to eat. Kid-friendliness: See kids in here all the time,
The best Chinese Food AND excellent sushi. Amazing black bean sauce and shrimp fried rice. The Yeung Tofu is to die for and become a constant craving (tofu chunks stuffed with prawns, green onion and sesame then tempura battered and deep fried with a spicy sweet soy dip). Spicy tuna avocado cone, Rainbow Roll, and scallop nigiri are fantastic as is the Miso soup. Went here once a month or so for 15 years until I moved. Came back a year ago after being gone 6 years and its just as good. Always lovely staff too!! Takeout food is packaged well no leaks! Always a great experience dining in or takeout. Plus they reimburse you for your parking pass. :)
Wont deliver 1.2km, very rude on phone exclaiming he pays his drivers to much.
Fast delivery and hot food. Buddhas Feast and some basics. Yum
Great food Great quality and great staff and service a wide menu and it is Authentic Chinese and Japanese cuisine their staff was very helpful when I asked about my food allergies and they were wonderful about telling me about the fryers and the sushi they were very patient with my children and service was excellent and helped pack up our leftovers and the d3core is amazing and stunning will definitely recommend for both date night or family outing
Been going to this restaurant off and on for about 15 years. The staff is always friendly and helpful but I would say that the portions and quality were definitely better a few years ago and think I will be going elsewhere in the future. Unfortunate but all things change over time I suppose.
I mean can I just say, wow! Walking past it from the outside the place looks a little tacky, standing out among other, less ornamental places. But walking in is SO worth it. The place is beautiful on the inside and yes, has a lush little garden! Its unfortunate that we had to visit it during a lockdown, would have been nice to see people in there, its really the kind of place you want to see full and lively. The staff was beyond considerate, portions quite large but not overwheling, pricing was quite normal and everything tasted very fresh. My one criticizm is that the chow mein seemed a little bland. Does make me wonder how they handle such a diverse and large menu, offering both chinese and japanese quisines... but again, everything was fresh, so I am sure it is handled in a commendable and dignified manner. Also the garden part is just in the front, kind of attracting outsiders, but inside there really isnt anything past that, I think further indoors would benefit from some plants too. And hey, please get some pots for the plants visible from the seating areas, I think I saw one growing in a literal plastic bottle and it just really messes up the atmosphere. But thats just nitpicking :) . If you are looking for a cool place to visit, especially out of lockdown, this is just the right spot!
Amazing, affordable, clean, tasty food. Incredible interior - cant wait for indoor dining to open up again!
Food is great,.always!
Ive been coming here for 10+ years and its consistently quality food. Rare to be able to get very good Chinese food and sushi in the same place. Awesome service when we were able to dine-in. Since the dine-in closure, they are running to-go so smoothly. I hope they make it through this difficult time for restaurants. Try the BBQ pork!!
Excellent food. Very fast and friendly. This has been my first Chinese restaurant Ive tried in Kamloops and its great . I will try others but this place set the bar high and Im picky. Good luck other Chinese places in Kamloops. I have a feeling this oriental gardens is gonna be the best of them all.
Food is very good and the service is very friendly
Good Chinese place. Much better than MoonWok.
Food is great servers are very friendly good atmosphere
The server was so accommodating and knowledgeable and the food was delicious. The spicy Singapore noodle was a delight.
I am definitely going back
Great food staff was very attentive
I like your style!..Very delicious & right to your chops!
Good food
Very good food Always fresh & the staff is amazing
Nice decor, good service. Foods ok
The food was delicious. The portions were huge, we will have another nights dinner. We will definitely be ordering from the Oriental Gardens again and recommending to friends & family.
Amazing dining experience and delicious food. The wonton soup broth was insaaane. Also the deep fried banana is my new favourite desert. This place is leaps above the competition here in town.
No thanks! I was offered one combo.
Very, very awesome and delicious. Ordered the Cantonese Chow Mein, Yeung Chow fried rice and Kuh Loh Pork. This restaurant puts all other Chinese/ Japanese restaurants in town to shame. Lots of bang for your buck. Definitely aint no po dunk, pokeeye place.
Awesome food and service
Amazing. Best Chinese food Ive tasted and huge portions
Everyone was so kind and helpful<3
Such an amazing variety on their menu! Great atmosphere and fantastic food! The Service was excellent. It s been a long time since I was able to enjoy the tobiko with quail egg!
Staying in town for work and decided to order in. For this cold weather, the wonton soup was super tasty - I got the half order but once i tasted it wished it got the full size. Chicken in Black Bean sauce was awesome too! Would definitely recommend to anyone to eat here.
One of the best Chinese/Japanese restaurants in town. You wont be disappointed!!
Awesome food, great prices, wonderful service
