Oriental Cafe

Excellent noodles. The sesame chicken was great. We had them as carry out. We will be back.

Good 1 not worth more words why must you require more words

If I could give this place no stars, I would. We ordered this for delivery. I can say the wait time was not very long. All of the food we ordered was there, however my sesame chicken was not tossed in the sauce at all. When I did take a bite, I couldn’t. The chicken was too tough to chew. I tried some of my husband’s general chicken and that was gross too! The rice was burnt and the worst part about it was, we discovered there was a piece of green chewing gum stuck to the rice container. The scenario gets worse. We called for a refund and they wanted us to go down there and bring the food back to them. They yelled at my husband over the phone. Unsanitary, rude service, bad food.

Horrible customer service! The owner/​server was extremely rude. She also took so long to bring out the dessert that we had almost left thinking she had forgotten or misheard. We originally came in and ordered two desserts. Only one was served and approximately 30 minutes later the second was brought out. The banana spring rolls were also made with plantains. Poor service/​bad food/​no ambience. This place was empty for good reason!

Disgusting food. My shrimp still had the heads and my husbands shrimp were hard to find in all the greasy breading. Even the chicken fried rice was bad! I’ve never experienced such bad Chinese food and we will never order again. :(

I got delivery. I was fast and I loved the sauces, but all of my chicken dishes were fried until they were half burned, it was inedible. The egg rolls were extremely burned as well and they just put the burned half face down like I wasn’t going to notice. Anyways, they brought the wrong soup also :/

It has been a long time since a review on this restaurant. We had a nice dinner here and can verify that it is REALLY Chinese. Authentic, Cantonese and other regional flavors and no MSG. You get the true flavor from the food
Certainly not a fancy atmosphere at all. The focus is on the food… my kind of place.
The salt and pepper shrimp is how it is across the Pacific pond: whole shrimp, lightly coated and fried crisp, accented with jalapeño peppers. Try them with the hot mustard.
The lettuce chicken was so good that my wife said that she would have been happy for that as her meal. It was good and a great appetizer on hot days, like the 100 °F here in El Paso today.
She had the chicken with ginger and green onion. Very good and lots of ginger.
Jasmine tea is the regular brew and the pot stayed full.
You can ask for what you want, as my wife did seeing ginger scallion beef and asked for it with chicken. You can substitute ingredients, like if you don’t like mushrooms, to be left out. Easy as all meals are prepared when ordered.
Students can have a lunch of two items off of the buffet, along with a can of soda for $ 4. THAT is a deal and a nice way to support struggling students. Good for her!
Owner circulates and likes to chat with you. Ask about meals as she will be happy to explain the dishes.
Just is not five stars in my book and I am very stingy with them, but It is very good and VERY authentic. Do not be afraid… try it.

Probably my favorite Chinese place I’ve been to in El Paso. It’s fresh, no MSG, and large portions will fill you up! I especially love their lunch specials because it’s more than enough food for a great price.

Finally, we’ve found a decent Chinese restaurant near our house. The owner and main chef are Cantonese and from the several conversations we have had with them, they take what they serve in the restaurant much more seriously than your average small Chinese food restaurant. If you’re not sure about what to order, I wouldn’t hesitate to ask the owner what she recommends, she’ll definitely steer you in the right direction as she has done for me several times. The fish in black bean sauce was phenomenal and a great deal for 10 bucks. This place is head and shoulders above any other Chinese place on the west side. But I’ll warn you, if your idea of good Chinese is sweet and sour or general tso’s chicken you might not appreciate the authenticity of this place.

Very good Cantonese dishes… owners/​chef from Hong Kong. Food is always prepared fresh, so it may take a little longer… but well worth the wait. Delicious and very reasonably priced. A gem in El Paso!
