Cincinnati – Dining Review | Grand Oriental 🥢✨

Overall just okay — we ordered clams and they tasted clearly frozen 🥶. Went for dinner, so the dim sum left from lunch wasn’t fresh at all. The seafood tofu hot pot had spoiled tofu that tasted noticeably sour — a real letdown 😞. If you have a craving for Chinese food but don’t like spice, noodles, or pho, this place might work in a pinch… but temper your expectations. The bright spots were the beef chow fun and char siu (BBQ pork) — both were decent and hit the spot 🍜🍖. In a city with growing Asian food options, Grand Oriental feels like it’s resting on its reputation rather than keeping up with quality. Better suited for a quick, familiar bite than a special meal out. #Cincinnati #EatDrinkExplore #DimSum #ChineseFood #FoodReview 🥟🇺🇸
