Oriental Gourmet Chinese Restaurant in San Jose

A neighborhood Shanghai cusine restaurant run by a couple. With very limited resources, customers really need to have patience and call ahead for large groups and reserve special dishes. The dishes were a hit and miss kind, some were good, some were not so good. Family style!

My party was standing in the front for about 5 mins waiting to be seated because there was only one lady. Foods were kinda salty overall and not very traditional. Portions were just ok. Will not give it a second chance.

Great food! Everything was delicious here with great price!Ordered the steamed fish, the crispy chicken with oil and the tofu with mushrooms and cabbage. Also got the Shanghai pan friend buns as appetizer. All well seasoned and yummy!The crispy chicken was especially good, with the chicken deeply fried in oil, soaked in slightly sweet sauce. The steamed fish was very fresh and with a hint of steam fish oil and scallions, making it enjoyable. I love the pan fried buns too as it was authentic and full of hot, flavorful soup. The tofu was good too, though not as impressive as other ones.Overall a very good restaurant indeed.

Definitely a hole in the wall Shanghai restaurant. Nothing fancy about the place. 6-8 tables with little decor. Just so good, so inexpensive, so yummy. Besides, all the 3 dishes (total $19.50+T) we had are not as greasy as the ones at most Chinese restaurants.Unlike some cheap restaurants, the Oriental Gourmet accept major credit cards, incl. Amex.It also looks quite clean and parking is pretty easy.

It is located in a quiet corner of the plaza, small, but clean. It’s green tea is very good. I liked its 西湖牛肉羹，楼外楼冬笋腐竹，大豆苗。蒙古牛is a little greasy but fresh。The waitress is nice. If you are looking for home-made authentic CHINESE good, quiet, not extravagant environment, then this is for you.

Ordered ahead of time for lunch takeout. What I love about this place is that they dont add any MSG. Got kung pao chicken, Mongolian beef, Peking spareribs and white rice. They were all delicious and flavorful.

The food is great. But unlike other reviews I found it to be pricey $99 for 7 dishes. The waiter spoke limited English and could not describe what was in the dishes. Had to wait 50 minutes for to go order.

Great place to get good food for takeout. The prices are good and the food is great. Pretty much no one eats at the restaurant so plan accordingly as the interior isnt very nice.

Good and economical Shanghai food. It’s suitable for daily casual dinner.

Great food and reasonable price. Always busy. Make reservation and/or order in advance.
