Orient Express — Restaurant in North Little Rock

If you are looking for the light stir fried type Chinese dishes with a meat, veggies, and sauce, this is not your place. We ordered 3 dishes, a shrimp, a pork, and a beef dish and in all 3 the small pieces of meat were encapsulated in a thick heavily battered and then fried coating. Each little okra size piece was 3/4 fried batter and 1/4 meat. At first glance, 2 of them really looked like small fried okra but with a smooth fried coating instead. Nothing light stir fried about any of the 3 dishes. We felt as if we had each eaten a half dozen donuts when we got up from the table. Maybe it was a fluke and not all their dishes have small meat pieces in a heavy batter like this, but ask if that’s not your what you are looking for. We were pretty disappointed when we got home and opened up the boxes. The flavors and taste was good though. See photos. The dishes were Coconut Shrimp, Sweet n Sour Pork, and...

I will NEVER trust them again.

Spent over $30 on our to go dinner tonight and all the food was as good as usual except the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. When the woman reached for the standard soup size plastic container she said the Shrimp w Lobster sauce was in that container because it was “a little thin” Got it home and was astounded! The contents had the consistency of tap water. It was beige in color with bits of unknown material floating around in it. There were some very small shrimp on the bottom of the container. The overall taste was nasty. The shrimp were rubbery and unpleasant. What upsets more than the slop I was sold, is that they knew it was slop before they put it in a soup container. But the $9.00 was more important to them. They lost a customer because I will never...

Their food is good but every time we place an order over $50 they call us and try to get us to pay cash by telling me their card machines are down. When I tell them to go ahead and cancel the order they magically are able to figure something out and their machine is working fine when I show up. Every. Single. Time.

Today they wanted to charge me a 4% processing fee for using a card. Tried to tell me its because they are trying to keep cost low and they are a small business.

This is hard to believe given their history of calling me to try and get me to pay in cash by telling me their machines are down. This is a scam. They want the cash because is harder to track. We try to shop small local businesses and they are the only ones charging a CC processing fee and...
