Oriental Gourmet — Restaurant in Southbury

Food is consistently good and reasonably priced. The Pork Lo Mein goes great with their homemade chili sauce because it gives it a nice kick. The Chicken and Broccoli goes good with both the brown sauce or the garlic sauce, and they always leave the broccoli a little crunchy which is the only way to do it in my opinion! The General Tso's Chicken is very good, but not spicy enough for my taste so I have them make it extra spicy and it's perfect. The Sweet and Sour Chicken is definitely my favorite meal here, probably because it has a nice crunch to it, and I find the sauce to be better than any other Chinese food place in the areat. Same goes for the Sesame Chicken, Lemon Chicken and Orange Chicken. The chicken is always cooked right and I've never had it come out really chewy like some other places I've been too. The Spring Rolls, Egg Rolls, and Crab Rangoon are all very good as well. If you like to put duck sauce on those things like I do, you definitely want to ask them for their homemade duck sauce. It is head and shoulders above the pre-packaged stuff when it comes to flavor. The sushi is always good and tastes fresh, although I would say its pretty standard other than that. Also, if you're really into specialty rolls, they unfortunately don't have as large of a selection as a Japanese place or sushi bar.

The portions are all pretty big, as I can usually eat half, have a full belly and still have plenty left over for lunch the next day. My orders never take over 20 minutes to complete and I get there 5-10 minutes early sometimes and it will be ready for me a couple minutes earlier. Mr.Lee at the front counter is a super nice guy and is never stingy when you ask for extras such as the homemade sauces, chopsticks, etc... If you have not tried Oriental Gourmet yet,...

Had a very dishonest experience here , my daughter wanted Chinese food so we went here for some take out . When I went to pay the woman kept pulling the machine away every time I tried to look what I was doing , honestly I started getting a little annoyed as I was using Apple Pay and because she kept pulling it away too quick it wouldn't take the payment . When it finally went through she asked if I wanted a receipt which I declined However then I saw the total which seemed high . It played on my mind so about 30 minutes later I called to query the total because I knew it was wrong . I spoke to the gentleman at the desk who found my receipt. He said , oh you must have hit the tip button. To which I said , I absolutely did not . You tried to scam me, no reply. He refunded the "tip" and sent a receipt to that effect. The food was mediocre , and this manner of scamming people out of money is totally unforgivable. Please be aware of this practice at...

Server was nice. Creepy guy at the sushi bar kept staring at me. Food was small and not cooked correctly or enough. Made me sick. Waitress held out a pad and waited for me to tip her. Food was not good. It was creepy and quiet in the restaurant. Food is overpriced and mediocre. I would like a refund from the manager. I spent 83 dollars on two small appetizers and one meal small with two iced down alcoholic beverage. It’s a dirty small restaurant. The chicken taste dirty and chewy. Vegetables were not cooked all the way. Would not recommend this place to anyone for a good time or a good food. Limes and lemons in my drink were used and they had seeds in the drink! Contact me for a refund please it’s getting disputed. Possibly the worst and most expensive Chinese food...
