Great service, atmosphere was relaxing & food was awesome. We were visiting from Houston & needed a good budget meal. Hit the spot

I've eaten here for many years and it's one of the better Chinese options Uptown. Before Katrina I ate here very often but I rarely end up eating here anymore as there are so many new Vietnamese places that have opened nearer my house that I end up at those more often. They have a decent selection of Asian items beyond just the expected Americanized Chinese offerings. I used to enjoy the Singapore Noodles here but my last several times of ordering that dish it just hasn't been as good as it used to be. Overall the prices are decent for the quantity you get and the service is generally adequate. My video review of China Orchid Restaurant is here: https://youtu.be/GG_FDwlX8wY read more

Great portion sizes. Good food. Friendly staff. Quick wait time. Their chicken is crunchy and good. Fair price. Unsure why they are not rated higher. read more

Amazing, Food was fresh and delicious! The service was excellent and the restaurant was clean with calming music. 5 star

I really enjoyed my lunch at China Orchid yesterday. They serve solid, traditional Chinese food at very reasonable prices. I had a cup of egg drop soup and their broccoli chicken with a side of brown rice and an egg roll. I was happy with both dishes. The flavors were great and the ingredients seemed to be of very good quality. The service was excellent too. read more

The food was delicious! The new owners really took it up a level. The inside decor is more inviting, the Shanghai Pop music playing was fun and all the customers were loving it. Will definitely be back! read more

Chicken in my entree had been cooked at least twice before I ordered it. Not to mention that I found a hair sticking out of the crust. What are they doing in the kitchen? read more

I ordered the shrimp and lobster sauce with white rice and an egg roll. Everything was hot and delicious. I found a new lunch spot.

Im giving 1 star because they did not honor the advertisement and coupons they put out. Gave me a 10% discount on a meal that was advertised as "free". 1st and last time going. read more

Yummy food and friendly staff. Popcorn chicken was crispy and well seasoned. 100% going to come back.

The food here is not remarkable. But if you decide to carry out from here, DO NOT place your order online! Just call the restaurant. We went online to place an order (not our first time!) for China Orchid and noticed that the online menu prices were significantly higher - $2.00 to $4.50 per item, than the paper menu price. We put our order in the cart, and realized that the total for ordering online was going to be !!! $25.00 !!! higher than the cost to call in the order. I called the restaurant to confirm that this was correct and was told yes, the online prices are higher to cover the cost of the online service. Additionally, there is a "service fee" of around $5.00 tacked onto the total for the online order. I placed my order on the phone, saving over $30 over the cost of ordering online. And this was not for a huge order. Large fried rice, 3 orders of hot and sour soup, 2 orders of pot stickers, one order of Lo Mein, 2 egg rolls and a cucumber salad. And to top it all off, they charge 3% for a credit card, or offer 3% less for cash. And the food was disappointing. This isn't the first time we've ordered from them, but while the food was pretty good the first time, it hasn't been all that great since. I'll be finding a new place for Chinese carryout! read more

CRAB RANGOON: for this dish alone they deserve 4 stars. I have never seen wedges this big: 6" long, and stuffed to the edges with filling (SEE PIC). And just like good french fries they are crispy on the outside but gooey creamy on the inside. 6 wedges, easily a single meal - $9. read more

China Orchid - Pineapple fried rice! - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Eating in or eating out, great food, great service! Been going there for 20 years. Love the lo mein.

I've eaten here twice and gotten sick both times. On top of that the food is bland and the rice is always mushy. I don't understand how they can't get plain rice right. read more

I'm befuddled about the 3 stars given. My husband and I ate here last Friday night. I realize they are under new ownership and read the reviews so I wasn't sure what to expect, but we decided to give the new China Orchid a try. I am so very happy we did! We frequented this restaurant for the past few years and while not blown away, the food was acceptable. Not anymore. We had a wonderful dinner including my drink! My husband had the vegetable soup which was full of fresh vegetables and had great flavor. I ordered the combination egg foo young. In the past (under the old owners), the egg foo young always seemed to have an added fuller (flour maybe) and the gravy always had a lot of grease floating on top. This time, the dish was what I've always been accustomed. Having originally come from a city with a Chinatown, I expected more and this time, it was near perfection. I wish I remembered the name of the drink I had, but it was garnished with lychee and packed a nice punch. We also had spring rolls which were delicious. The rice was perfect and was grain for grain. The best part of our visit was meeting the owner/staff (Phoebe and Sophie) who took the time to come to our table to make certain we were pleased with our meal (which we were). They are actually Chinese which was refreshing as many "Chinese " restaurants in New Orleans are actually owned by Vietnamese which is not to take anything away from these places, but I was pleasantly surprised. I know we will be making many more visits to this establishment in the future compared to the past as the "new" China Orchid exceeded our expectation! read more

You want cheap, reliable Chinese? You got it. (I've only ever gotten takeout so I can't speak to the dine in experience, but I'm sure it is fine.) The crab Rangoons are your typical size/shape (6 for $8) but come with this SPICY mustard that really changes the game. read more

I'm on a super restrictive diet right now, so eating out is a serious challenge (ie can't have things cooked in lots of oil, high protein, high veggie, smaller/specific carbs). One night I was missing carbs and eating out and I spent about two hours on yelp going through menus and seeing if there was anything I could eat, and stumbled upon this gem! They have a healthy menu with steamed shrimp or scallops, and salad, and honestly it's a lot healthier than other Chinese restaurants in the area so my husband and I went to check it out. He got the potstickers which smelled and looked AMAZING (they fried them in a circle so there was a crispy base and it looked super cool), and he said they tasted delicious. He also got their sweet and sour chicken which is actually fried chicken cutlets sliced up, which definitely seemed classier. Sauce was also served on the side which was healthier. I got the steamed shrimp with some spices on it which came with steamed broccoli and some asparagus spears on top of a fresh green salad with a honey mustard-esque dressing on the side. Both dinners came with shrimp fried rice (but you could substitute for white or brown rice). We were also seated immediately, waitress was super attentive, and it was a cute quaint little restaurant that was perfect for a date night. Dishes range from around $10-15 but you get a lot of food that makes for amazing leftovers! read more

The pepper steak meat was mushy, fried rice just plain. The rice didn't have any ingredients, bland. Lo Mein was awful. Will never go back unfortunately. read more

Affordable menu. Well prepared foods. Good variety. Went for dinner. Plenty of tables available.

My coworkers convinced me to order from this place the other night. Absolutely disgusting food!! Blane no flavor, the veggies were hard, my tofu was dark hard disgusting. Tasted like it was old and they just refried it. I will never order from here again. read more

Enjoying Szechuan shrimp at China Orchid. Wonderful large fresh shrimp and large variety of accompanying vegetables. Delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Real quiet spot uptown. Parking is terrible. All the businesses are so territorial over parking. I just park on the street. This place gives old China town vibes. I've never been but I'm guessing what old China town feels like. The service is as good as it can be. I had dumplings and wonton soup. My only complains that they use iceberg lettuce n their soup. That's cheap. Otherwise it's all good. read more

China Orchid - The inside of the establishment - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

My Supervisor ordered lunch for everyone from China Orchid restaurant. I have never eaten at this restaurant so I looked up the menu online. I decided to stick with my normal dish at any Chinese restaurant, which is shrimp fried rice. Once the orders arrived, I went to the cafeteria to eat. After a few bites of my shrimp fried rice, I noticed an oddly shaped bug mixed in with the rice. Immediately i stopped eating and threw the food away. I will never recommend this place to anyone and I most definitely will not be ordering from this restaurant again. I am mortified and will be reporting this incident. read more

Such delicious food for such a delicious price and the portions are huge. Service was exquisite I love the staff there. Ambiance is nice as well, it's mildly dimmed in there with calm music and it's quiet and intimate in there. read more

I always stick to the usual sesame chicken combo plate. It's worth nothing that the food always comes out steaming hot, and the staff is always very kind and friendly. There's a nice ambiance in the restaurant, but you get the same presentation and packed box when you order takeout as well. Definitely worth trying if you haven't before! read more

An unexpected wow. Great food service and atmosphere. I met a friend in the area to talk business . we arrived before the dinner crowd. We ordered each a bowl of soup and some egg rolls as appetizers . My associate had the Hot sour soap . I had the wanton. Before my soup arrived I saw one of the ladies at a table making the wontons from scratch. I admired her technique. She convinced me to order two different types of dumplings she made from scratch as well. All was top notch. I never write reviews . These people deserve credit for an excellent meal .

We ordered through a reputable delivery service. The food arrived piping hot and looked amazing. The dishes were loaded with meats and vegetables covered in richly colored sauces. One would think from the display that they were about to enjoy a culinary delight. However, the entire meal was devoid of any flavor whatsoever. It's as if some mysterious ancient Chinese curse has plagued this establishment, allowing them to create the most visually pleasing dishes but never allowing a single soul to enjoy their deliciousness. read more

This is my second bad experience-- I chalked the first to them having a bad day. The food is absolutely disgusting. I used to like this place. The orange peel beef we just got was just mush with crunchy/burned parts. The fried rice tasted sour. I like supporting businesses in my neighborhood but I will be ordering from another. No more China Orchid for my family. I can't get over how bad tonight's dinner was. read more

I really like their Combination Lo Mein! Chicken, beef, shrimp and veggies. Yummy! The General Tso Chicken is pretty tasty, get the combo platter which comes with shrimp fried rice and an egg roll (substitute shrimp roll if don't eat pork). Even though haven't tried all of them, all combo platters are a steal! read more

China Orchid - Combination Lo Mein -Shrimp, chicken, beef and veggies - YUM!! - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Good food for when are in a hurry. Their combination fried rice is quite good. Portions are good and shareable.

Ok...so...where do I even begin. Came here for lunch last week. I should have skipped it based on some of the reviews but I guess I am a glutton for punishment. My friend and I ordered and the waitress took our orders down mentally...completely forgot a part of it until we asked. They advertise 10% off if u check in on the yelp app but they won't honor it!!! She claims they don't know how to remove it. Horrible! I ordered sweet n sour chicken..was pretty dry. Rice was ok and egg roll and egg drop soup were tasty. Contact yelp to remove the 10% promo people...it's not rocket science! read more

I hate giving bad reviews and I know New Orleans has roaches but they should not be in the food or all over the table. Didn't write the order down so it came out wrong and shrimp was coated in a clear goopy liquid. Tried to reheat it that night and I cant even explained the state of the food after, tasted like actually puke and I had to spit it out. read more

This place been here for many many years. It's a small dining area but its clean and cozy. Food is really good and service was friendly. Their lunch menu is until 3.30 PM. Plenty parking spaces. Tip: If you need to charge your phone, get the second booth table from the entrance door, there is a power outlet under the table. read more

Perfect as usual for me. Got order correct and ready on time. Egg rolls some of the best that I had from them. Rest of the order the same. Friendly staff read more

Ordered the seafood pot. The worst, flavorless food I've ever had. Absolutely awful. So disappointed.

The restaurant is within walking distance of my house, and offers everything that you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. I tend to order takeout here, but I've noticed that the folks that do always seem to have issues with the wait, the service, and the pickup. I have no problem with the food. Walking in, you're immediately greeted and asked if you want to dine in. Or, at least, I was. Apparently there had been a woman standing there before I came in, and she had been completely ignored. The hostess proceeded to take my order, but I pointed out the lady and said she was first. If I hadn't, I think the hostess would have continued to ignore the woman -- I don't know what that was all about, but it bothered me. Anyway, the food takes 15-20 minutes, and then they pack everything up for you. I had to remind the hostess to charge me for my food. The restaurant was busy, but not so busy where you forget to have folks pay for their meals. To the food itself: The won ton soup is flavorful. I enjoyed it - plenty of veggies, shrimp, and dumplings. Comforting on a cold night. The broccoli beef is pretty standard. Meat's tender, and the broccoli isn't overcooked. Pork fried rice, once aided by some soy sauce, was pretty tasty. Not greasy, and you receive a large portion. The moo shu was tasty -- hard to go wrong there. The meat and veggie mixture was uber savory, the crepes were nice and thin, and the plum sauce just made everything work together. Yum. I'll go back and try again. I'm sure the service that night could have been a fluke, and the food is worth another visit. read more

China Orchid - Singapore style noodles - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

If you've been trying to find good Chinese food in New Orleans, China Orchid needs to be your go-to restaurant. In fact, I'd like to give them more credit and say that the food is not only good if being compared to other NOLA's Chinese restaurants, but this restaurant serves just plain good Chinese food on any scale. And I've eaten in both Oakland and San Francisco's Chinatown. The price is decent for the combo meals, less than $10 for your entree, shrimp fried rice and an egg roll. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken and loved it! They serve large portions, so you'll not only be satisfied with the taste but it's also enough to fill you up. The place is nice inside and the service was good: we got asked how our food was and our waters were refilled. I'll be back! read more
