Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

This was the first time I ordered from here but I must say my family was satisfied! The staff was friendly on the phone as well as in person when showing up at my door. The food was delicious & reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this establishment if you dont feel like cooking yourself!

This restaurant has been here for a long time and their food is really consistent. The cheese crabmeat wonton and general chicken are two of the most popular dishes. The staff is really compliant and will make your orders however you like; not spicy, no veggies, extra meat, etc. Don't miss out on their fantastic lunch deals either!

The food here is ok although it has been steadily declining. The place is reasonably clean. Waiting for my order in the restaurant I have noticed the person taking orders over the phone is always quite rude and short with people. I go there infrequently and I think its time to find a restaurant that doesn't cut so many corners. Won't be going back.

Best Chinese I found in Lancaster so far, and I've been to many. I am Chinese and from NYC, the land of cheap Chinese joints. My dad used to own a Chinese restaurant so I am a bit of a Chinese food snob to say the least. They are pretty close to a true NYC Chinese take-out. They do not offer brown rice (most real Chinese restaurants Hong Kong/China do not offer brown rice). However, they do have mostly Americanized Chinese dishes like Egg Foo Young and Chicken & Broccoli. What I like about them (besides the fact that they deliver) is that they do not use msg and they can adjust the salt/sugar/oil levels, and they have a steamed "diet" option, like most Chinese take out places in NYC. The crust on their Sesame Chicken is perfect - crispy, not greasy, and light, not thick and doughy batter-dipped like some of the other restaurants in the area. However their wonton skins are way too thick. I never see anyone seated in there (it's tiny and they do mainly take out/delivery), but it is bright and clean, and open later than other restaurants too. And they're fast. They always quote 45 min for delivery but arrive within the half hour. I only wish they took Amex. They only take Visa/MC.

Decent food. Service wasn't great. Asked if they had booster seats or high chairs for my daughter and the woman behind the counter seemed angry that I would even ask that. Decided to just order and eat at home instead. Hot and sour soup was a little bland, lo mein, chicken and broccoli, and sweet and sour chicken were okay. Not bad, not fantastic.

Is this the best take out Chinese in Lancaster???? Food is so so, too much sugar, too oily, too sweet, no brown rice,... I'm happy that I'm not local.

Really like this restaurant. The food was very good and I am now a regular. The staff is friendly and it does appear to be clean.

The very best fried rice I have ever had! Egg roll was cooked perfect without excessive oil. Lunch special was very filling with enough food for 2 meals and was very reasonable priced. General Tso was cooked crisp but was over sweet and not enough heat. Next time I will ask them to make it spicier. Delivery was quick and free. This will be my go to take out when I'm at work..

Went there last Sunday for dinner and it was just okay. The food isn't great but it's not terrible either. I've had way better chinese food for the same price. A little too sugary for my taste. Their customer service is pretty poor, I barely got a 'hello' out of the girl who rung me out let alone a 'have a nice day' or any sort of sign that she was appreciative of the business. It's good for a quick pick up but I think I'm going to try and find another similar place with better food next time I want chinese take out and I suggest everyone else do the same.

I absolutely LOVE this chinese place. Best delivery/take out I've had so far in the area. The food is always exactly as I order, and super fresh and delicious. They're generous with condiments, and with helpings. The $7.55 combos last me two meals which is awesome. Their egg rolls are delicious, and I can't ever pass up the ride rice, lo mien, or shrimp with broccoli. The only negative encounters i'd ever had were when I called the night before easter at 8, ordered my food, and was told the wait would be 1 hour and 40 minutes. I ordered lo mien and dumplings, so I couldn't fathom why, also when I ordered last, the person I gave my order to hung up before I could tell her I wanted to pay with my debit card. It was easily fixed though. All in all, this is definitely my favorite place.

If you live in Lancaster and in the mood for Chinese Delivery, this place is pretty decent. It's the same price as 88 Chinese Express and Oriental Chinese Restaurant are MUCH NICER people than 88 Chinese Express. Some notable differences: 1. Oriental Chinese does not make you walk to their delivery driver's car to get your food. 88 Does. 2. Oriental Chinese does not yell at you if they feel the tip isn't enough. 88 will. You will have no issues tipping Oriental Chinese because they are fast and courteous...at 88 Chinese express you probably will end up not tipping them because of their service and driver laziness. 3. Oriental Chinese tastes better. Yeah they both are soaking in MSGs and other nasty stuff but in terms of the evils, Oriental just tastes better.

Hands down the best Chinese in Lancaster. The food always tastes fresh, and not overly salty and MSG-y tasting. The staff is friendly and have never mismanaged my order in the 10 plus years of ordering from them. They are always willing to accommodate special orders. Can't say enough great things!!!!

This is my favorite Chinese food delivery place in Lancaster. They are up Columbia Ave at Stone Mill Plaza, but I've never had a problem getting them to deliver in town or at F&M (I think they also deliver to Millersville University). Their Chicken w/ Broccoli is awesome, and I love their fried rice... shrimp rolls too! I also haven't had any complaints from the people I've introduced to it. Frankly when I first moved to Lancaster I tried a lot of Chinese food restaurants, but this was the only delivery place I really liked. I still have the menus from the other ones, but in the last 5 years I haven't had a reason to look for a switch. Sure while I'm out on an errand I might try somewhere else, but I haven't found a place yet that beats Oriental. Same prices as everywhere else, but I feel the quality is much better. And while I wouldn't tell you to go there to eat-in, it is very clean. Not one of those hole in the wall type of takeout spots, and I feel a lot better knowing my food was prepared somewhere I'd actually step foot in. I often stop in to pick up an order, but the delivery is always quick, and the drivers are always friendly. It's mildly embarrassing that they know me, and if they see me at the store they'll often tell me how they were just by my house. But that lets you know that I order from there a lot, and that's because it's delicious. My only complaint is that about half of the time they forget my chopsticks when I ask for them, but I'll usually order extras so that I'm always covered.

I ordered from Oriental this Memorial Day weekend for my wife's birthday dinner. I know! It is nothing fancy but the wife has been talking about Chinese for the last couple of weeks (hint! hint!). Of course, I went with our old reliable dishes Beef and broccoli Kung Pao chicken w/peanuts Sesame beef Maybe it was because we have not had Chinese (and only from Oriental!) in a while, but I think each dish was sooooo damn good !!! They had it delivered to our part of the city and I was able to have the delicious food on our table to surprise the wife. I am not an employee or family member singing fake praises. If that was the case, maybe I would be able to get these awesome dishes free or at a discount (in my dreams!!!). Oriental Chinese Restaurant. You are the best !!! Don't ever change what you are doing !!! 4 1/2 stars

This place is a favorite of my friends and I. Free, fast delivery. Excellent quality. They actually listen to your requests (my girlfriend doesn't like veggies in her lo mein). I like the combos- the lunch combos are a great value. You can't go wrong with Oriental!
