I called recently to place an order - so devastated I was told no longer ship out of state - my family has been ordering for years & having it shipped. They told me I can order from another company on website. I didn't want to hear that we loved ordering directly from them. I hope they change their mind. read more

Oriental Chow Mein Company is an icon in souther New England and THE crunchy chow mein noodle you'll find in 99% of the local restaurants. The factory store provides everything from boxed chow mein kits to bags from 1 lb to I think 10 lbs. they also sell the sauce/gravy in packets and 1 lb bags. The staff/owners have been there as long as the building I think! They are friendly and serve you quickly. The noodles are thin and crunchy. The gravy mix brings me back to my childhood! The store section is clean and not much more than a countertop, menu board and cash register but what more do you need?? It's all so nostalgic and delicious! read more

My parents were buying chow mein from them since I was a child. I live an hour away and make what I refer to as my Fall River food runs, and make this one of my stops. Hope they never go out of business. read more

I live in Virginia but was born in Fall River. Hoo Mee chow mein has been my chaise since leaving. It's my favorite. I usually order on line. When visiting, I always went to get a chow mein sandwich on main St. but that's no longer there. Sad. Reguards, Ray G. read more

The deep fried noodles are amazing in chow mein. They also make a beef gravy mix that can be used in many recipes.

Always great service there, if you haven't been there I suggest you go there & pick up some things.

Been coming here forever. I love this company. It holds many memories for me growing up. I moved away for awhile, and returned and it was the first place I went back to. They no longer ship noodles do to manpower, but I love going there. All the childhood memories come flooding back. read more

So lucky to be less than 15 minutes away from here! Can't beat homemade Chow Mein! The employees are always very friendly and the prices are very affordable! Win win! read more

The negative reviews about ambience or the boxes are ridiculous. I've been going there forever. They are most definitely not rude, some people just need to have their asses kissed everywhere they go or they get butt hurt. As far as the boxes being a little off, BUY THE FRESH BAGS!! NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!! read more

So glad the machinery got fixed and we can get the best noodles again. I get the big bag, divide it up and put them in the freezer. So fresh, won't eat any other noodle. read more

Best chow mein noodles, place has been a very good reputation. A lot of people go & I am getting sum tuff to send to my friends as well as myself. Freshest & cheapest wonderful people read more

I love this business I love the ppl they are a party of Fall River ,not only that they make the best most affordable and amazing chow main hands down on the planet. If u have never experienced miss fu's chow main then u don't know what chow mains is to the south coast . An if u don't live in the south coast then u have never had chow main like this an if u don't like chow Main it's bc u have never had chow main in the Fall River an south coast of Boston Massachusetts before so I really encourage those who feel they don't like chow main to give Mrs fu's chow main a chance bc you are missing out on the comfort food of Fall River an south coast region!! read more

this place is closed for good not opening anymore the sign on the door said machine broke but there just closing the door for good you will not be able to get a chow mien sandwich with those noodles and more read more

Best chow mein anywhere all others can't compare to those noodles sent some to Florida and my friends were shocked on how good it was

Four generations of my family loving Oriental Chow Mein at the Mee Sum on South Main St with the incomparable Regina Mark - and occasionally buying the fixins from Oriental Chow Mein to make ourselves at home! My grandparents lived on Birch Street, took my mom there, she took me there, I take my kids there.... There is nothing else in the world like Fall River style chow mein and Oriental Chow Mein's magic. Thank you!! read more

Speaking as someone who has been using this product for over 50 years, what in the world has happened to you guys. The last shipment we got (distributed from Famous Foods) was rancid and inedible. Like other comments on this forum, the quality of this long-standing product has dropped considerably. When we called Famous Foods to ask them to replace the unopened boxes of noodles, they thought it more appropriate to argue to the point where we had to hang up on them due to their snarky belligerence. Undeterred, they just kept calling back to argue some more until we finally blocked them. Like many things in life, another tradition that we grew up with has now been relegated to the dustbin of history. Save yourself the aggravation and buy a can of fresh noodles at the grocery store. On the upside, maybe my kids chickens will eat them... read more

Oriental Chow Mein Company - Here's what a wasted $55.94 looks like - Chinese Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

Great noodles for chow mein, or any kind of oriental stir fry. Just add chicken or beef or fish stock, some chopped onions, celery garlic and then you've got a quick, easy one pan meal for one or more depending on the amount of noodles you add. Also, very economical for a large family to get their fill. read more

We weren't impressed. Basically a warehouse that sells dry noodles and gravy mixes (MSG alert). We inquired about buying lo Mein also because it was on the list of items to buy and we were told you have to have a recipe to make lo Mein, ok whatever. They only take cash and they make you feel like they're in a hurry so decide quickly and get out. read more

Oriental Chow Mein Company - Dry noodles and MSG packs - Chinese Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

These could be the best chow mein noodles on the east coast and I've been buying them for years, but for the last few years these noodles have a chemical taste. I think what's happening is that they noodles are packaged when they are warm, taking on the taste of the plastic bag they package them in. My chow mein dinner was ruined. read more

Offer the best to their customers, top quality noodles and wraps, specialty item and quit sales services, all with Asian hospitality.

Friend bought a case recently and the noodles are rancid/bad. gravy was good

Listen for all the other reviews that are on here with 1-3 stars y'all are a bunch of pansies, this is one of the best places to buy chow mein from and there's multiple businesses that use this place for their own businesses, literally you won't find any other noodles anywhere in this country, yes they do prompt you with a what do you want but if you've never been to other actual Chinese restaurants, or to China itself it's the same way there they get the job done and they get it done quickly to be as efficient as possible it's how their work ethic is, either nut up or shut up, you pansies read more

This is not a restaurant, this is a unique supplier of a special food ingredient, a rare company doing one thing to perfection -- dry chow mein noodles. These are the most delicate, the most tasty, the most whimsicly twisty turny chow mein noodles you will probably ever see, taste, eat. They also package them in a Chow Mein Mix but I have not tried it. You enter by the side door from their small private lot (there is street parking as well). You are faced with stacks of bags of chow mein noodles. There is a price list posted. You are asked how much you want. You decide and say (five pounds) and pay (a modest amount). They hand you the bag and you are out the door. As the rating says: "Woohoo! As good as it gets!". Once home you can do all sorts of things with these noodles -- top soups, add to chow mein, add to Chex Party Mix, throw at weddings (I don't know, I just made that up). You can buy their Chow Mein Mix at local grocery stores or through several websites. These noodles are the foundation of a Fall River specialty, a Chow Mein sandwich -- vegetable Chow Mein piled on a hamburger bun with piles of these noodles tossed in to absorb the juices. The sandwich is amazing, the noodles are sublime. read more

Been going here my whole life i was so happy when they rebuilt after the fire the same people that i remember as a kid very friendly and very affordable it doesn't get any fresher than this I also get my egg roll wrappers here read more

Used to love this chow mein, have bought it a couple of times lately and the noodles are horrible inedible. They taste like chemicals hard to even get the taste out of your mouth. Never again read more

I've been getting my chow mein noodles, gravy mix, bean sprouts, oyster sauce from this company for as long as I can remember. Always so fresh and you can eat the noodles as a snack, I love them. My parents would ship my noodles and gravy to me as like many, you can't find this in other parts of the country. Everyone makes it different but its delicious any way you make it. Just sent some to Las Vegas and it was made the night it arrived. I hope the next generation changes nothing and carries on the tradition. read more

I walked in today with the intent on buying something and was promptly greeted with "What do you want?!" The answer was nothing after having such a rude interaction. That's not a way to run a business and I hope whoever is in charge is ashamed of the way their business is being handled. read more

I have been trading here for years and they are the only place I go to get my chow mein fixins. The noodles are so fresh and so are the bean sprouts. They did have quality issues after a fire, but like the Phoenix rising from the ashes they are back with the great tasting products. Friendly family business. Top shelf. I believe that shipping is available. read more

I Recently Bought 3 Boxes of original HOO-Mee Chow Mein Mix and after cooking the Sauce I opened, the noodles and what a Horrible smell almost like a cleaning chemical type smell, so I opened the other 2 boxes and the the noodles, had the same smell a very sickly chemical type smell. I'll never Buy You're product again!!! and as a matter of fact I will let the food and drug people know whats going on as well.! read more

I'm originally from New Bedford MA and grew up eating this specific Chow mein never in a million years would I have thought that you CAN NOT find real genuine Chinese food in FL like home. My mom visits family on a regular basis and always brings me back Chow mein, because that is my only request. My great grandfather owned China lantern for many years until the family sold it and this was the Chow mein company they'd order from. I NEED more Chow mein because I cooked all three boxes my mom brought me back in a week. read more

A great chow mien dinner starts right at this place! It may be deceiving from the outside but the noodles are like no other! The servers are so kind and thoughtful. Don't be afraid to buy the largest bag because you can freeze it and it saves you money in the long run! Go give it a try and make a childhood classic! read more

Have purchased this product in the past and all was good. Did not purchase for a while and bought a box recently. The chemical smell and taste was horrible. After much research, the FDA should look in to their practice. This company has switched to trans-fat cooking oil to make the noodles, which in turn shorten the best used by date on the box. The trans-fat oil is very sensitive and if not monitored closely, it can alter the taste of the product. Unless the product is frozen or refrigerated, the product often doesn't last until the product best used by date stamped on the top of the box. Shame on Oriental Chow Mein Company, your greed and disregard will eventually lead to the demise and shutdown of your business. To see others remarks simply reiterates that you have problems..wake up folks and smell the noodles!!! read more

I Absolutely love this place. It is cash ONLY. Everyone is so nice they even sell bean sprouts. If you decide to buy a big bag keep it in the freezer itll stay fresh. When i bring my kids in theres a gentleman in there that always gives them a warm bag of noodles. By kids Love them. I use the gravy for other things too. Stop in and see for yourself its much better to go the factory then purchasing in the store. There is a price list on the wall. But remember CASH ONLY. read more
