Orient Express

Food is always greasy, American Chinese dishes. The owners also decided to negatively critique my physical appearance in front of my face thinking that I don’t understand. Very rude. Would never shop here again.

I’ve eaten here twice and both times I’ve gotten the shrimp and broccoli combination platter. The service is pretty fast and the price is reasonable. The food is decent too.

One of my go to lunch places at work, I’ve had many dishes from here some good. some OK. The lady that works there Rebecca is pretty cool an down to earth. My favorite dishes are the Thai fish and the udon noodles with shrimp. Only thing they charge extra for onions but it shld come with the meals!

This place will hold a special place in my heart for feeding me throughout my college career. Yeah, there is definitely better chinese/​oriental food out there on Temple Campus. But it’s at the Anderson wall (prime location), and their prices aren’t too shabby, and the food never tastes bad. The man who I assume owns this little joint always knows what to throw into my bag — soy sauce and hot oil. Awesome.
My regular orders — hot and sour soup (always bomb!), drunken noodles (very greasy, not for the healthy eaters), pad thai, mapo tofu. I’m sure their other food is equally delicious.
Just a warning — the foods, especially the noodles, are kind of greasy. Also, the wait during lunch rush is horrible — I’ve waited over 20 minutes for a dish. But if you get a soup, you’ll most likely get it right away.

After reading the previous reviews on Unilocal,I decided to give this place a try — specifically, the Singapore Mei Fun lol.
I remember one time I ordered pork chops with rice at a food truck and was greeted with fried chicken wings, rice, and some bitter broccoli when I got back — FAIL. So of course, I came to this place with big hopes but little expectations.
Now, let me just say hat this was one of the best food stands/​trucks type around Temple that I have ever encountered.
I was totally surprised by the amount of chicken, roasted pork, and shrimp in the serving! Trust me, it’s not just a deceiving few laid on top, and you’ll never have to dig through it to find some meat. With that said, I thought the chicken was a little dry… but the pork and shrimp made up for it and the portions were definitely generous for only $ 5.50!!! I haven’t tried its other dishes but I can testify that the Singapore Mei Fun is well worth the price.
Also the food comes in a decent sized aluminum plate with a plastic cover, which I think is much more convenient and healthy than the cheap styrofoam lunch boxes. And instead of a plastic bag, you’ll get a paper lunch bag, yay!
Anyway, the service is fast and efficient; I went a little past 1 and there was not much of a line when I got there. If you’re unsure about what to order, try the mei fun!
Oh, and the guy indeed yells SING MEI in a very cool manner. :)

The only thing I get here is Singapore Mei Fun but as far as I’m concerned it’s the best damn mei fun I’ve ever eaten, and I’ve been around the proverbial block so I know what a good mei fun is.
The right amount of egg, the perfect balance between shrimp and meat, just the right amount of stir fried veggies.
And the owner (looks like it’s a family business) that mans the counter is hella kewl! I swear I sometimes come there to eat just because I love how he yells my order back to the cook… SING MEI!!!
All that for $ 5.50, give me four, stat!
Location: situated between Anderson hall and the tech center, it’s the leftmost window in the row of food places.

The food is fresh and very affordable, but it usually gets VERY crowded, especially around lunchtime. It also doesn’t help much that the counter dude can be a bit pushy, but regardless, it works when I happen to have finished a class and am craving chinese food and don’t feel like getting delivery from China House.

Meh. I’ve had better Chinese food. But Orient Express is convenient because it’s right on Temple’s Main Campus, in the strip of food stands on 12^th Street, next to the Tech Center and across from the Library. So I order from here. I’ve had lots of their food — lo mein, wonton, spring/​egg rolls, sesame chicken, fried rice, etc. etc. It’s edible and sometimes it’s pretty good, but it’s only passable Chinese food as far as I’m concerned. The good thing is that it’s fast and cheap, so it’s good for grabbing a bite to eat between classes.
