    Bulgogi
    Andrew N.

    My son and myself wanted some Asian food and we tried this place. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and sat immediately. The waiter was very friendly and told us his faves. We wanted to try a little of everything besides the normal Chinese cuisine. So we got a tempura sushi roll which was fantastic. Korean Bulgogi plate, and the Thai Basil combo beef, chicken, shrimp. The food was amazing, server was great, and the restaurant has a bistro ambiance feel too it which was very nice overall lunch today. I will definitely be back and recommend. Next time the Teriyaki Chicken and Pad Thai will be tried.

    Tried some new rolls and they were both so good!! The Yo roll is wrapped in rice paper and very fresh. The yummy roll is rich and tasteful. Service is always great here.

    Chinese Fried Rice with Beef
    Cassie M.

    The food and service were really good! I love fried rice and I'm super picky about it. I couldn't stop eating this one and the beef tasted really good as well. 10/10! The inside was clean and well taken care of as well. Overall it was a great dinner date!

    For a delicious experience and quick service I recommend them 100%! Delivery is always quick, eating in, and they even have a drive through. I have never had a bad experience.

    Mongolian Beef, Fried Rice, Vegetable Tempura, and Crab Rangoon
    Ashley T.

    Very good and always fresh. Even when they are super swamped they are pretty quick bringing our appetizers. I love the egg drop soup and my husband loves the wonton soup. We tend to stick to some of our favorites and don't venture out much from generals chicken/shrimp, Mongolian beef or Thai basil chicken. We always say we will but we love those dishes so much. The portions are pretty big. We could probably split one lunch meal but we enjoy the leftovers so we never do. ;)

    Vegetable Tempura from Oriental Express in Topeka KS
    Dodie K.

    Tried Oriental Express in Topeka tonight. I ordered vegetable tempura and the pint size hot and sour soup. Soup was okay but not spicy at all like you would expect. The tempura was a soggy pile of grease. I tasted it and the vegetables were of good quality but you could literally feel the grease running out. Pressed on it and you see the grease puddle up around my finger. It tasted like old grease too. The order was a pick up. There was no plastic ware or napkins, so that was a challenge as we are visiting and in a hotel. I thought the food was going to be good because the restaurant was very busy when we picked up our order. It's a nope for me.

    Chicken pad Thai
    John H.

    This little restaurant is a hidden gem. Always great for a fast delicious lunch, they even have sushi to order you can watch him make it at the bar. During lunch time this place is packed with locals but it's always easy to find a seat. The staff is great always friendly and food is always delicious. Must try

    Bulgogi, Korean style beef and onions. What's better than that?
    Jay G.

    The Bulgogi with a side of steamed rice is an excellent lunch. It was a tad oily but the flavor was so good I ignored it.

    The most consistent Asian food you will find in town. Remember you are in the Midwest and for that this place is killing it.

    Fairly good Chinese food and perhaps the best sushi in Topeka; a low bar, I know, but a pleasant surprise.

When you place your order online you select a time to come pick it up.

    My friend and I went to Panda Express for dinner around 6pm. It was busier than we expected for a…read moreTuesday night however the wait was not too long. I ordered the Big plate so I would have leftovers for my lunch-I started with the Chow Mein, the employee said he would have more coming up, as the one in the bowl had more cabbage than noodles. I said that was fine by me, I love cabbage. Then I got the mushroom chicken, which is one of my favorites and orange chicken since they had just put out a fresh batch. My last option I ordered the teriyaki chicken(my dog's favorite) so I could share with him at home. I also ordered the crab Rangoon which is another favorite. The restaurant was overall clean and the employees were friendly. Panda has become one of my favorite restaurants as of lately.
