A multi-cultural Asian menu with limited options for each cuisine. For example, one kind of beef pho. Which makes it great for people who has a hard time deciding. Quality of the food for the price is hard to beat.The food was simple but comforting, tasted great and leave you wanting seconds. Kind of like going over to your favorite relatives house for dinner and they are one hell of a cook in the kitchen.

Nice place to have a very good meal, quick service, tasty selections, limited parking, plenty of indoor tables, great prices.

The food is good and I would have really enjoyed it if I hadn’t spotted the same dish at a neighboring table. It almost appeared as if that patron received twice as much in his serving. Equal portions people!

I wouldnt return to this place. Bad service, long wait just to order while the place was practically empty, the sauce for my broccoli beef wasnt flavorful and was watery, and I had to fight a knat from flying into my food. If there are knats in the dining area I can imagine how dirty the kitchen must be!

We had BBQ chow main, mandarin chicken, spicy crisp pork, and broccoli in oyster sauce. All very nice.They still include free rice with each order.Pricing is great for the area.

I ordered 2 different soups ( sizzling rice and noodle ) yesterday. Both were over salted, smelled bad and most likely contained MSG in high quantities. I developed allergic reaction ( MSG does that to me). They use the same broth for any soup you order. Will not come back.

Was hopeful after reading the reviews, but I must say I am not a fan of the food. A star was given because every employee i had an interaction with was pleasant.Mongolian beef was in a weird grey gravy and had no spice or flavor. It had an unusual smell as well

Hands down the best Ive had. The fried rice was flavorful without being greasy, the shrimp and lobster sauce was not gelatinous nor fishy, and the mu-shu chicken was fresh and crisp. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be frequenting it again myself.

This place is the best! Their lunch specials are freshly made, as well as all the other items on their lunch menu. I have to wait 20 minutes for the food, because its being cooked, not microwaved, like other places. Believe me, people come here from all over the Peninsula, because it really has the best Chinese and Vietnamese food!

We went for the first time tonight. Great service and food. The Crispy Spicy Seafood, Orient Egg Foo Young and Happy Family were delicious! We WILL be back!---Ok, update. have been back 2 more times. WOW...really is great. Great food, Great service. They recognized us and even knew we were trying new things. People are paying attention and this is why they have been there for over 30 years. Spicy Crispy Seafood is AMAZING! Thanks guys!

I’m shocked by the reviews here and I was duped. I ordered chicken chow mein, Mongolian beef, pork buns, spring rolls and white rice tonight. I don’t think I’ve ever had such bad entrées before. The beef is over cooked, mushy, flavorless, and downright disgusting. The chow mein is overcooked and mushy. The spring rolls are OK.I’m shocked by these reviews. Definitely expected halfway decent Chinese and that’s not what’s here.

Perfect timing, not crowded, day before Valentines day. The Egg flour soup was very good, I ordered Oriental Chow Mein, my husband ordered Pork chop suey, plus to share BBQ pork fried rice, a side of egg rolls. All was excellent!

The food was good. Won ton soup excellent. They need to hire a server. The owner sits in a chair and stairs at you. Never checked in us or our drinks. Very good food

My absolute favorite restaurant in Seaside and my favorite Asian restaurant on the Peninsula! The food is always fast and fresh. I love the atmosphere and the friendly service. You cannot beat the prices for this quality of food. I love spicy food and this place really beats all when it comes to flavor.

This is a terrific place, clean and warm and so very friendly. My wifes family has been coming here for 30 years and everytime my wife, daughter and i are there they remind us about when my wife and her brother were little tiny kids running around. Thats two generations of enjoying their wonderful food and restaurant. Thank you for all the great meals and memories.

Food was very good. I ordered the kung pao shrimp and my husband had their Mongolian beef... all was scrumptious! Definitely will come again...

Just. Eat. Here! Please! There is a reason these folks have been around for 30 years. Picture this: 2 lunch meals with soup (hot and made fresh for you), entrees made to order. Rice topped with crispy wonton. And hot tea and ice water for 2. Total bill: $15.88..... So. Basically, with the tip its $20 for lunch for two. Not just any old lunch. Infused flavor and layered texture. The best thing Ive ever put in my mouth is their kung pao chicken. You like extra heat? Ask for the secret sauce. Vegetarian? They can make anything on their menu vegetarian friendly. Enjoy custom heat levels? I like extra spicy and they nail it. Flavor and heat... unbeatable. You just cant go wrong with this place. Its Pho-king Amazing.... did I forget to mention their Pho? This is chinese food meets Vietnamese food... with an extra kick. And the best part? You wont be hungry an hour later. This is our little gem... give the servers a break if you can. Youre getting the best deal in town. Like my fortune cookie said: with patience comes good foodNow.Go eat some Kung Pao!!!Pho king Now!

The Orient has been serving great food for at least 17 years. Their neighborhood has kept them in business. I like imperial rolls, lemon grass beef, and Thai iced tea.

I love coming here !! Food is good. They have both vietnamese and Chinese food here. I usually either get a chicken pho, beef & brocolli, chow mein & the mandarin chicken wings. The chicken wings here are to die for !! They are a must try.
