Oriental Express Cafe — Restaurant in San Gabriel

Oriental Express Cafe is one of my favorite to-go Chinese fast food in my mind because of food selections, food quality and prices. First of all, it is better than Panda Express in food selections because it has Pork Chops, Chicken Steak, and different styles of Chinese food. Second, it has better quality of food compared to Kang Kang Food Court because it's look more freshness based on color of the food. Lastly, it has very good prices for 3 or 4 items combo because this place gives additional milk tea for free as well. However, Oriental Express Cafe also has downside which has a small parking but I believe it is okay if customers just grab a quick take out. Overall, I recommend Kung Pao Chicken, meat pie, and cold dishes as well. Therefore, it is the place that I recommended for quick take out for...

What can I say...?? This is some cheap Hole-in-The-Wall Chinese Hot Tray Combination Food in a tiny non-descript strip mall setting when you want to fill your stomach. Free Drink + Comes with Soup & Rice. It's decent. It's good by Hot Tray Combination Chinese Food Standards, lol. Lady is very nice. Sodas in the fridge on the right- COKE or SPRITE. NO RESTROOMS. Limited Parking Lot and Street Parking.

So I got some little Omelette thing with an egg cooked on top, some Chinese Curry Chicken and some Chinese Ginger Chicken.

I was thinking of the very popular old Xiao Mei Restaurant in San Gabriel years ago, which was actually pretty darned good for what it was and decided to come here, my reason for...

This is a super cheap place to get some Chinese food!!! Way better than Kang Kang food court or the scooping ones at Sam Woo.

$4.85 for 3 items. Around $6 for four. Comes with soup, rice/noodles, and a boba. I believe they charge a little more if you get the noddles. But I got the 3 item combo and they put the noodles in a separate box, so you get more room for the items. All of this together was under $6. Well worth it! and I couldn't even finish it in one meal. So technically I paid under $6 for two meals. Love it!!

Definitely worth the bang...
