Frequently Asked Questions

Common answers about this buffet

Is Oriental Chinese Restaurant kid-friendly?

They have a small table with some mismatched chairs, and a few chairs to sit and wait for your food.

Is Oriental Chinese Restaurant good for take-out?

Great take out spot. I stop in for two Shrimp Egg Rolls when I’m hungry for a snack and nearby.

Is Oriental Chinese Restaurant a good value?

$6 for veggie Lo mein is a great deal. This is just your basic, cheap Chinese food at a great price.

Is Oriental Chinese Restaurant good for large orders?

I ordered a large shrimp and broccoli with 6 chicken wings and I paid close to $30.

Is Oriental Chinese Restaurant a good choice for a quick bite?

Very solid choice for a quick bite for dinner.

Is Oriental Chinese Restaurant open late?

The best. Wish they were open later.

Is Oriental Chinese Restaurant good for eating in?

We initially came here with the intent of dining in–it says dine in on the sign!! But when we walked in, there were only a handful of chairs and the one table was packed against the wall, with the ton of boxes against one wall nearly covering it.

Is Oriental Chinese Restaurant good for families?

Been eating from this restaurant for some years now and it’s me and my family’s favorite in South Philly.

Is Oriental Chinese Restaurant good for people with food allergies?

The sesame chicken is fine, and the sezchuan chicken was the best thing that we ordered but it wasn’t spicy at all

Is Oriental Chinese Restaurant good for people with food sensitivities?

I’m gonna be honest this food was extremely bland… the chicken in the fried rice tastes like it was boiled not fried and the lo mein is not remarkable at all
