Always good food. The crab rangoon are great and our food is always hot and as ordered. The delivery person, usually the same one, is very friendly and courteous. The few times we’ve gone in and picked up an order it was a little chaotic but they got the job done nonetheless. One of the better Chinese restaurants in Joplin.

Eh is all I can say. Over the years I think this place has gone downhill. The food is dry as though it’s been sitting under heat lamps. I’m sure it was good when it was first cooked, but that’s not how it is when the customers get it. Also, the girls that work up front look absolutely miserable, and they’re not friendly over the phone. They really need to step it up because there are many other choices in town.

Excellent quick fast food that is good! Great to cater food for events. Price is affordable. Food is made fresh.

Generous meat portions but too light on the sauce. Was asked if I wanted white rice or fried rice — I asked for fried rice and all it was was soy sauce covered steamed white rice… Recommend pacific rim instead. Bamboo Chinese isn’t much better.

My wife and I think this is the best Chinese food in Joplin. Possibly the best crab Rangoon I’ve ever had. The serving sizes on the meals is great. I’m never able to eat my whole order. I highly recommend Orient Express.

If I had to choose a favorite item from Orient Express, I would choose their crab rangoons! They are reasonably priced and delicious! I order lunch for delivery sometimes and it always arrives very quickly and is hot and fresh. I love the sweet and sour chicken but I wish they would coat the chicken in the sauce instead of putting it on the side. Great food, great prices, and fast delivery!

We have a winner! We’ve been looking for that ‘favorite’ Chinese place in town and have found it. If you are looking to dine-in, look elsewhere. I’m bummed that it is only take out and delivery but that will have to do! Their prices are a little high for the type of food they serve, but I don’t think that will stop us from going there. The shrimp fried rice is very yummy! My 2 yr old loved it! My husband ordered a couple dishes that he loved too, but I don’t know what they were called. If you forget to call ahead, you can order there and wait about 10 minutes. There are a few chairs for you to sit in while you wait, or you can wait in your car. It’s worth it!

Delish! We’re always afraid to try new chinese places. This place didn’t disappoint. Very good chicken! All white meat, not questionable, haha. We have tried the General Tso’s Chicken, Beef & Broccoli, Chicken Fried Rice, Shrimp Lo Mein, & Egg Rolls. All were very good! We had it delivered on a Friday night and surprisingly we received our order at our hotel room door step within 45 min, extremely fresh and plenty! Will definitely order from here again!

They probably have the best Chinese food in town! Every time I call in an order, the wait time is only 5 mins… maybe 10 at the most. I always ask for my fried rice to be spicy and they always meet my expectations. And they are not skimpy on the shrimp like other restaurants. Everyone needs to try this place!!!

I have NEVER had anything bad from Orient Express, at their current location or in their previous location on Maiden Lane. Their food may not be the most authentic but it’s certainly delicious. I most like the garlic shrimp or tangy treasure(a surprising, lightly spicy mix of vegetables with a little bit of beef, chicken, and shrimp thrown in). I’m not even a huge fan of cashew chicken, but I think theirs is the best in the area… all white meat, crunchy breading, and savory sauce and they give you plenty of cashews and green onions upon request. Wonderful crab rangoons especially(expect a lot of sweet cream cheese filling, again not the most authentic but delish). Their wide variety of lunch specials are served until 2 pm I believe(Saturdays too), and a great value at about $ 6 for a huge portion of food along with an egg roll and crab rangoon. Their delivery service in town is really good as well. Very fast and delicious. Dinner is more expensive but you get a lot of food and it’s worth your dime. Best take out in the area, in my opinion. Convenient location and they specialize in take out and delivery ONLY so you know you aren’t getting leftover food from a super buffet(huge plus in my book).
