About Oriental Express
Located at 1000 Avenue C, Denton, TX 76201, Oriental Express operates as a chinese restaurant serving Denton in Texas. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Google also lists it under fast food restaurant, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.
Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.
The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. The most common schedule is 11 amβ9:30 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (940) 383-2098. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.
With 3.8 out of 5 on Google from 623 reviews, it sits in the middle of the range for chinese restaurants in Denton. Recent reviews are the best guide.
Denton is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. Getting around Denton is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Texas's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Chicken fried rice is not an entree if youβre only putting two small pieces of chicken in it, do you guys know Panda has fried rice as a side?

Should have read the reviews, other people have complained about the garlic chicken not having chicken and itβs true. Hard talking to anyone about it so I went in and got a refund. When you pay for chickenβ¦ you expect chickenβ¦ shout out to the pizza place around the corner who rushed my food because I was starving

Service was great even if the woman at the counter was confused by me ordering simple items, however, the food is horrible. I ordered chicken pad Thai. The pad Thai is overly sour and is filled with these tiny hard things (not the peanuts) that tasted horrible whenever I accidentally crunched down on them. The noodles are chewy and overcooked, and there seems to be very little chicken in it. I know why the sign says no refunds now, because if they offered refunds then everybody would come back for one. The low price isn't worth it. Go somewhere else. Edit to add: the rice tastes vaguely metallic and is chewy. Not coming back.

I arrived at 9:30 pm (30 before closing according to the posted signage on the establishment) and found the door to be locked and the Open sign tuned off. The guy at the cash register saw me through the window and and made 2 gestures (one pointing at the turned off open sign light to state that they are closed and the other was a shooing gesture). If you are closed at 9:30 pm then please change your signage, if not remain open until 10 pm. The hours are for letting patrons know when you are open, not for your employees to when when they can leave.

So, first time trying out this restaurant as there's not many Chinese places in Denton. I ordered the orange peel chicken (e14) but instead got sweet sour chicken (e15). No big deal. However, even with the sauce the flavor was limited. The rice was also way overcooked to the point it really didn't seem like rice anymore. The drive thru smelled, especially when the service window was opened so that was concerning. On the bright side, service was solid. Got my food fast and the guy working the window was friendly enough.
