We ordered from Door Dash & did not receive what we ordered. What was delivered we could not eat. We also ordered several soups, which were equally disgusting. Basically an oil slick on top of the broth. The won ton pork was ripe. Do yourself a favor, run don't walk away from this place, unless your up for food poisoning. read more

Due to COVID19 my family has been Quarantined since February 2020. Finding quality Chinese food is quite the chore. I found this place by accident and thank goodness I did. Quality***** Quantity***** Price***** Taste***** Temperature***** Customer service***** Delivery***** Delivery App Friendly***** I even accidentally ordered from the wrong place one night and there was no question. The Rice is moist and flavorful, the chicken is so delicious that I didn't even need the sauce, and don't even get me started on the delicious egg rolls! read more

I wish I could put zero stars this was the worst place I have ever been to. they charged me 160.00 dollars and my order that was messed up. I was missing two plates and rice. then the owner said I was getting free food because I was bitching. i feel bad for anyone that works here a young girl it was her first day and she was assaulted in front of my kids by the owners daughter. this place should be shut down. the food was the nastiest I have ever had. NEVER GO THERE!!!! read more

I have ordered from there many times. Just spent $51 only to throw most of the food away. Salty, chewy and lo mein over cooked. Last time I order from there. Terrible read more

So bad! Wonton soup smelled like ammonia, egg roll was more like a spring roll, general tso and accompanying fried rice tasted like there was some sort of powder that hadn't dissolved and the meat was TERRIBLe quality. Even the crab Rangoon barely had any filling. Not good. read more

The portion sizes are not worth the prices. I ordered delivery from them because my favorite Chinese restaurant was closed. Big disappointment. The chicken wings were old. The chicken and broccoli did not look like chicken and broccoli. The general tso chicken was tough. I guess I just donated $60. read more

they told me it would be 108$ when I was on the phone and then when I picked up had a price total of 180$ when we got there the were missing 2 total plates and "refused to make my white rice because we where bitching" this restaurant is unprofessional and shouldn't be open. read more

The most saltiest Chinese food I have EVER had. Honestly- for me, Yelp is a complaint box. That's all I ever see. I make it a point to give good reviews but this place, I couldn't . It was awful. They need to taste the food they are serving. read more

I was hoping this could be my new Chinese spot, but it didn't make the cut. I was disappointed. The crab rangoons were extremely dry and hard as a rock. The wonton soup usually soothes my stomach but theirs smells and tastes nothing like wonton soup it had large pieces of fat floating in it. The lo mien was pretty good but not worth dealing with the rest. read more

Don't let the look of the place scare you. Food is decent for chinese food, but service needs major help. The poor server is by himself and is underwater with 2 tables( 3 top and 2 top). read more

Orient Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

Recently ordered for first time. Had the general Tao chix and it was excellent. Wonton is fantastic. Two days later ordered again and got the house fried rice which was phenomenal. A few negatives, portions are small. When I get the general Taos at my other place I always get two meals out of it. Not here. Also only 5-6 wontons in a quart. Crab Rangoon were awful, dry and fishy. All in all they made my favorites list and I'll be going back regularly. read more

Just order food from here and i've never had a problem, got home we had no rice and no sweet and sour sauce, called them to tell them and the waitress said we were lying and was extreamly rude and nasty. Why would i lie about this, she should'nt have gotten out of bed, never again stick your rice and sweat and sour sauce where the sun don't. There are better places to eat in the Cape! read more

The food from this place was disgusting, $80 and I wouldn't even feed it to my dogs!!!! The place we usually order from was closed....very disappointed!!!! read more

The worst meal I ever order out in my life order 2 order sweet and sour chicken sauce was like black mollusks and I can't even say what the pork fried rice was like 2/17/22 all I can say save your money read more

Don't understand all the negative reviews but I like it here. It's old school Chinese cooking which is getting harder and harder to come by these days with all the younger generation run buffets and modern Chinese places popping up which I find to be bland and tasteless. I love their shrimp with lobster sauce here as a suggestion also the beef and broccoli was very flavor full! Egg Rolls appear to be homemade from scratch! The prices are cheap to very reasonable. Service has always been OK, no complaints. Atmosphere is so so, could use a face lift, but for the money, and the food quality, your best bet in the Cape for a good old fashioned Chinese restaurant meal! read more

In my recent review of health inspection reports this place is a filth. They had found over 150 dead Roache's un counter and live.and not kept proper temp raw foods etc..how hard is it to employ a company for pest control. Before u go to any place in cape look up recent health inspections...it's not hard to keep and maintain a healthy environment for patrons and of you don't know food prep 101 u shouldn't be in food business.....shame. read more

First time here. if I go by the reviews I wouldn't have walked however I've learned some of the hole in the wall places are the best. If I had to complain about one thing the egg roll slightly over cooked but I ate it. We had two separate dishes it was outstanding and we will go back again. Could there be some cleaning up inside yes but overall 4 stars. read more

When the woman walked out of the bathroom barefoot and dressed in PJ's with the bottoms down under her underwear that was enough for me.

I have eaten in over one hundred Chinese restaurants in the USA, England and Wales and I rate the Orient in the top 5. I would have given 5 stars but then you all would think I am related in some way to the business...I am not...I am just a Chinese food lover that appreciates the unique flavors and textures of this cuisine. You will NEVER get the quality, flavors and freshness of Chinese food at a buffet. It;s a shame most Americans look for quantity over quality. Many eat at buffets for the fast instant gratification...try the Orient takeout instead. It usually never takes more than ten or fifteen minutes for my order to be ready and that is FAST for quality. I have been enjoying the food at the Orient for over twenty five years. The chef is "old schooled" which is what makes the food here better than everywhere else. Their Pork is BBQ'd the way Chinese pork should be as is evident in many of their dishes which include pork. Their Pork fried rice is the benchmark while their Pork Lo Mein is also a ten.Their batter is crispy and their sauces are right on the mark. Their fare is primarily Cantonese/mandarin but over the years I have noticed a a few Szechuan/Hunan dishes. I have only recently introduced my self to the owner because I wanted him to know how much I appreciated him for cooking for my family for so many years. Now I live in Cape Coral for five months of the year but you can bet I visit the Orient at least once a week for take out since my kids are grown and on their own. My favorite takeout lately? Egg Rolls, Pork Fried Rice, Pork Lo Mein or Generals Tso chicken. John...keep on cooking!!!! ray read more

The worst Food the worst customer service the most dirty food. Found bugs under the table...yuk I notified the health department the health department said "They have received several citations for not clean food or locations and roaches in or around food." read more

I ordered dinner from this restaurant through Bite Squad. I took the restaurant almost an hour and a half just to prepare the food. Which means it took two hours to arrive at my house. It was nice and hot when it got here so I was happy about that. But the food was awful. My son got the veggie lo mein and I got the pepper steak with onion. The food looked good but it all had a weird fish like flavor. Not pleasant and kind of down right yucky. It was like their sauces have no flavor and the food was cooked in either a dirty wok or used oil and all of the flavors from all of the other meals they'd cooked that evening seeped into flavor my food with just a bad taste. Mall food court Chinese food is better. Save your time and money. read more

I was there tonight and a lady jumped up and yelled there was a roach in her food. It was alive, in her food. Won't go back ever.

We have been trying to find decent Chinese food in Cape Coral. Having moved from the Northeast, we knew it would be challenging and we were surprised and impressed with the "O". First of all it looks dark from the outside, but it's very bright inside. No dark lighting or bar here. The 1 waitress was pleasant and fast. They don't serve full liquor, just beer & wine, so we ordered beers and they were really cold and we even got frosted mugs! We love our hot & sour soup and while the ingredients were different from what we're used to, the flavor was perfect. We would definitely order it again (or to go). We tried the dumplings, and they were okay but not great. The real gem was the entree. Kung Pao chicken had nice fresh vegetables and was very tasty. We had the pork fried rice with it as well. All very good and we will definitely be back to try other dishes. We did have the egg roll and while good, it's not what we are used to. We know it's hard to find egg roll made with celery, so even though it was cabbage, it was actually pretty good. read more

Wednesday lunch I thought I'd try here for the first time. At 11:40 am the place was really slow with many empty tables. Service was prompt and friendly and everything came out piping hot and orders were correct. The lunch special menu had a lot of choices and I opted to try the shrimp chow mein for only $6.99 which included an egg roll. Two of us made it out of there with a couple iced teas for less than $20 which was a shock. The food was good and enjoyable with many medium sized shrimp on my plate. Everything tasted well and my ice tea was refilled again and again. The restaurant has a great selection of bottled and canned drinks plus I noticed they got Budweiser Light on draft. The regular menu has a ton of items but I can tell you what I tried this first visit was good. The A/C was pumping nice and cold too. Only thing taking away another star from my review is the restaurant is old, tired, and run down in desperate need of renovation inside and out. Food and service was great. read more

Orient Restaurant - Shrimp Chow Mein lunch with egg roll for only $6.99 not bad either - Chinese Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

This is the first time I have eaten at The Orient, and it will certainly be the last. The sweet and sour pork was burnt so bad that it resembled little charcoal briquettes, the rice was hard and seemed old. The Egg Foo Young was cooked properly, however, the gravy was liquid salt... upon contacting the manager to ask for a refund, he became very defensive and rude. He went on and on about how many people have eaten the same gravy and had not complained, then he said I didn't have to use the gravy at all.... To me, the paying customer, the whole point of ordering Egg Foo Young is the gravy. He was not nice. When I asked for a refund, he refused saying that his food was completely fine, then he agreed only if I brought it back to him. I agreed, since I wasn't going to eat it, he then promptly took the refund offer of the table and said he would only cook a new order. .. I then refused and ate popcorn for dinner. .. Not sure how this restaurant has stayed in business for so long, the manager certainly does not specialize in customer service, and if he is also the chef, it doesn't seem like he specializes in culinary arts either. read more

I am a regular customer here, and I eat here way more often than other restaurants in the area. Right now, I am on a Shrimp with Bean Sprouts kick. read more

I have been to this place maybe three times in 19 years and it has been disgusting every time. I wanted chicken wings so i decided how bad could they possibly be? I found out!! They had the drums and wings separated, which is exactly why i didnt go to Lion King because i dont like them that way. Lion King has excellent food though, just dont like their wings. These were big, fatty and tasteless. Never again!! read more

The takeout was terrible. I ordered chicken and broccoli and when I got home it was swimming in liquid. I do not believe the chicken was even done. I would not recommend this place. When I walked in the place there were three workers , one which was the cook and they were all just sitting at the counter. That tells me they're not too busy. read more

if -5 was an option that is what they deserve. My wife and I just spent 61.00 and it was the worst that I have ever had. I ordered sweet an sour supreme. There were things in the order that we could not identify The pu pu. Appetizer it was so salty it could melt snow in New England there was absolutely nothing edible we threw most of it down my garbage disposal. Which wanted to throw it back at me. Save your money read more

Worst chinese food we have ever had food was definitely not fresh probably sat under a heat lamp all day never going back and this is the first bad review I've given on Yelp. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews but I hate the thought of others wasting money on food that is not edible even more. I only have one experience here. I ordered Bourbon chicken and spring rolls. The bourbon chicken tasted as though the chicken was past expiration date and the spring rolls were mush on the inside. After 5 forceful bites I am still hungry but the trash can is plenty full. read more

I ordered the shrimp chop suey, Chinese vegetable soup, and spring rolls. I used Door Dash for delivery and the service was wonderful; about 40 minutes to arrive and all items were received accurately. The food tasted nice, but felt a bit oily. I was sharing this for dinner with another person, whom wanted the spring rolls, but she felt that they were a bit disappointing and subpar, plus they appeared both burnt and doughy with an imbalance between the interior and exterior. I've been feeling poorly and the vegetables appeared to be either improperly sourced or maintained. I'm glad that I tried a new place, but I don't think I'll be returning. read more

This place is now officially the worst Chinese food in Cape In my opinion. The portions are small compared to what they used to be, the dishes are now so salty it will burn your tongue and to top it off the food is cold. This used to be our favorite, but after several recent visits it is now the bottom of our list. I didn't finish my order, my kids didn't either. read more

Ordered for pick up last night and was told 50 minute wait. Understandable given the current conditions. Got a call after 30 minutes that our order was ready, so we picked it up cold. Ordered the Szechuan chicken combo,Moo Goo Gai Pan combo, and a hot and sour soup. Website advertised that all combos came with sweet and sour chicken as well - however it did not. Forgivable again, due to the current lock down conditions. Websites are not always updated. Portions were small, but tasty after being reheated. Hot and sour was set aside until today - I reheated it, and it was quite good - until I bit into a cigarette butt. YES - a cigarette butt! I called the restaurant and asked to speak to the owner, as a courtesy, before I posted this scathing review. He scoffed at me, said that he didn't have time to speak to me, and told his staff to give me a credit. I have 15 years of restaurant experience under my belt and have never been treated so badly. Make no mistake - I will not ever set foot again, nor recommend this place to anyone. Ever. Take your credit, and use it to train your frustrated staff to follow health code. I'll forward the butt shot to the state and see what they say. read more

First, let me say I am not the owner nor related in any way! Alsp please excuse my typos as I do not text very well, due to fat fingers! I am an old-school Chef, as well as someone who dined around the world since 1951, (I said I was old...!) therefore I have the expertise & experience to critique many cuisines as to the current menu's recipes authenticity - or if they've created an abomination of poor food quality! I also choose to dine in & support only independent restaurants- as Mom & Pop or family run businesses- are the backbone of America! 95% of independents fail in 12 months, so.....please: " Independants, to survive, you MUST give superior service, salesmanship, clealiness & great consistant service to compete and BEAT the chains that practise SUPERIOR RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS AND EXCELLENT GUEST SERVICE!" That's why most chain restaurants have lines wrapping their exterior, while too many Mom & Pops disappear within a year!! Those are industry facts that the Orient practices as much as the Owner can with the labor force quality available here. I believe that most owners of restaurants - as in any business - has good intentions, yet can never be perfect so as to rate an emotional five stars, yet can logically rate 4 with room for improvement. Besides, Restaurant reviews that get 5 stars are usually written by the owners, friends or employees, while one star reviews are usually written by their competitors or disgruntled ex employees... or reallllllllly pissed off diners who never gave the owner or mgr a chance to fix an issue, or the owners refused to help said dining guests. The Orient is the only Authentic Oriental Chinese restaurant left in all of Lee County- perhaps all of America! Americans have no idea what authentic Canton/Mandarin/Sechusan/ flavors are nor what old world authentic Chinese food is, thanks to those crappy buffets & take out strip mall so-called Chinese joints ... they have altered true Chinese recipes to the lowest level a human should never eat! The owner of The Orient sticks to all classical recipes - all from scratch! The stuff you eat in strip malls & buffets all taste exactly alike.. because they ALL purchase t their food from single China-owned nationwide manufacturer & distributor of pre-made pre- packed heat n serve Americanized Chinese foods, yet have NO resemblance to authentically real Chinese!!! I am an old retired Chef, Instructor & Hospitality Mgmnt professional and have dined all over the world, I can attest that The Orient is indeed authentic Chinese cuisine, cooked by the owner daily from scratch - as I eat here weekly - & have for the past 16 years! You who complain about the food must enjoy the buffets & Americanized take-out cookie-cutter Chinrse joints! But you have been spoiled - ruined- by the bitterness of Chains - and now chain Chinese has altered forever to the negative the olde worlde true Chinese recipes - for reasons you must seek out yourselves on the internet -- so you can see for yourselves how & why so-called Chinese buffets & take-out cookie- cutter same-bland flavored strip-mall Chinese chains have destroyed the independent Chinese restaurant ownership! Orient service is slow, you say? Not for freshly made scratch authentic cuisine! It has never taken more than 15 minutes for our entrees - whenever we dine here!! All orders are COOKED TO ORDER, not pre-made heat-n-serve flavorless unrecognizeable "food" from a frozen prepared food company!! Come with patience & an understanding of truely authentic Chinese foods, & you will appreciate the Orient! No buffets, no free crab legs, no pre-boxed pre-made desserts...just really authentic foods, hot freshly brewed tea, & super plum wine!! read more
