Quality & Service Declining. After almost 40 years of eating at the Oriental for family occasions, with friends and take out I am sad to say lunch on Nov 6/13 was definitely the last. There have been several other times I have had poor quality food and have not said anything. Like the time I ordered beef and broccoli which had lumps of flour or cornstarch in the sauce and no more that 4 small pieces of beef in it. The takeout rice that tasted burnt. The Szechuan noodles that tasted gritty and dry. Even the almond soo guy, my favorite, at times fried too long and the breading so hard and crunchy. Over the years I have seen the plate portions get smaller on many items. On Wednesday about 12:30pm my friend and I came in for lunch. My won ton soup was tasteless, and the fried rice and almond soo guy lunch combo was a waste. What happened to the brown gravy for the almond soo guy? It was served with an orange colored sauce and I did not like it at all. I asked our waitress about it and she said it was the same as always. Not so! The brown gravy almond soo guy is well known and well liked, not this stuff. The fried rice had a burnt after taste, I did not eat it. I explained to the waitress why, she was very disinterested. My friend ordered the Cantonese chow mein and the noodles were dry and clumpy, lacking the sauce needed to have them moist. This too was mentioned to the waitress and again disinterest, she did not offer to get additional sauce and my friend left more than half the noodles aside on a full size order.The wait staff is usually very friendly and accommodating this lady was not in any way. Even seeing food left behind and our expressed dissatisfaction was not acknowledged. We did not tip.My friend works at a downtown location which receives many out of town patrons and she expressed she would not be referring any more people, this is sad but one cannot recommend a place to eat that they themselves are not satisfied with. Even with my dissatisfaction with some dishes in the past, the almond soo guy was always a constant, but no longer. I ate it at lunch but I would not want a full size order with that orange gravy on it. I know for a fact the food and wait service has been far more superior and possibly you would like the constructive criticism for the future, since The Oriental is an icon for Brantford. Note: Management of the restaurant did not bother to respond.
Patron. Been eating here for over 50 years love it . what more can I say.
Umm!. I live close to the Oriental and eat there all the time. I usually order the Cantonese Chow Mein. So good. The combos are real good too…I shouldn’t be writing this review at 4 in the morning. I’m hungry.
Love Oriental!. Favourite place to get Chinese! Great food and great service!!
Awesome Restaurant!. Amazing restaurant!! Many people have told me good things about this place, and they were right! The restaurant is old-fashioned looking, but the decor is nicely done. The wait staff are very friendly and attentive; always filling up our water glasses and asking how we are doing. The food was delicious! Huge portion sizes, all for a cheap price! A huge bowl of fried rice and lemon chicken was only $5.20, I couldn’t believe it! I will definitely be back, great service, great food, great prices!
