Small but established. Dropped in for dinner at the tail end of the dinner rush, had the buffet. the selection of hot foods was good, definitely better than the cold/salad selection. desserts were a good bit limited selection of cakes n pastries. Good service, pleasant staff, I'd say above average for buffets in kelowna.
The orient is by far the best in town.. Ok does anyone who review chinese buffet even like it? Yes it's greasy, yes it sits under lights, yes the deserts come out of packages (infrequently). Guess what - people still love it. For anyone to review The Orient poorly means they don't know chinese buffet. The orient is the least greasy, best tasting, most varied of all the chinese buffet in town. Just because you're super into anime and took a vacation to Korea doesn't mean you know everything about chinese food. Sick of people pretending to be connoisseurs when they don't even eat this type of food. Take it from a lover of Chinese food - there are no other contenders in town.
I wish people wouldn't judge this restaurant based on the buffet. The taste and quality of the buffet is COMPLETELY different to the actual quality and taste of the menu. The menu food is amazing, I often get he Cantonese style chow mein - so delicious. I agree the buffet isn't great but I can assure you that you will not be disappointed by the actual menu. The dim sum they offer at lunch isn't too bad either. The only thing they could improve on is getting the food out faster, otherwise it's great. Their house special fried rice is delicious as well, not greasy at all!
GO HERE!! Fantastic food and service! Even what I would consider "authentic" fortune cookies, none of that brand name stuff that comes bagged retail. Love it, I will most definitely be back for more!
Was sad to see the place empty inside due to a staffing shortage...I'd totally dine in!
4.8! Coming from the south, the Orient Restaurant has one of Kelowna's most 'seasoned' house special fried rice dishes we've had since moving here. Something about comfort food π₯° We ate it (inhaled while standing) straight out of the box!!! The left overs will be even better tomorrow! The prices are reasonable and the food was delightfully enjoyable!!! LOTS OF FOOD in the fried platter!!! Grab take out and eat it in the park π photos are leftovers!
***sneaks away to hide left overs in hummus bowl that the rest of the house avoides!!!π***
Take out dinner! Why not! Good food and super fast pick service available especially just before closing. Wonton soup was good as well as the chicken Chow Mein. Crispy Shrimp was very tasty and crisp we had some sweet chilly pepper sauce at home to dip it in which was great. Good prices and quality.
Just for myself. Huge order, yet when broken down into meals the cost was less then 10 dollars each meal.
Our favourite Chinese restaurant in town. Fresh and tasty food. Consistent every time.
It was the first time we have been to The Orient since before covid. It was excellent then and did not disappoint today. There was a staff shortage but the owner did an amazing job.
I highly recommend!!
The food is great and very flavorful.
I would say that the lunch special is the best deal in Kelowna and they really load your plate.
You can't go wrong eating here,.
The food is greati, the price is reasonable considering the large portions and the service is friendly.
Try it....you will like it and you will be back.
Currently they are not allowing dinning in, due to staffing shortage, but the food hasn't changed.
Great food at a decent price. Had lunch special today. Lots of food. Very good.
Great take out! They have some unique and tasty variations that we really enjoy and the wait time is usually quite accurate. The staff are very friendly! This restaurant is a hidden gem!
Great cozy place. A hidden little gem. Its my go-to buffet place. Staff is always pleasant and friendly. Food is good and fresh. The steam trays on the buffet table are small so they are refilled with a fresh supply often. The pricing is good. I've been coming here for years and not once have I have a bad experience. There's a reason they've been around for almost 40 years.
My go to for rice noodle chow mein!
Two choices, one with curry sauce.
