Awesome takeout Chinese options right in the downtown strip of South Amboy! Generous portions and reasonable prices. Tried the hot and sour soup (so delicious and flavorful) and the veggie Lo mein. Definitely a favorite and will be continuing to order from here read more

Love this place. We live in town and are thankful we don't have to drive far for good Chinese food. Their crab Rangoons are bomb!

Awesome lunch specials under $10... for a hot delicious lunch it's unbeatable. Szechuan dumplings omg so good... Szechuan chicken lunch also very good and a Very nice family. read more

The lo mein I got was badly overcooked. Also, I did not like their fried rice. It seemed off, like they had used fresh rice instead of day old rice -- the reason this matters is that fresh rice doesn't absorb the flavors and throws off the texture and taste of the fried rice. This is just basic Chinese cooking 101 and the fact that they couldn't get this basic element right seems a bit dismaying.. My general impression was that they didn't seem to be able to get the basic elements right. Both the fried rice and the lo mein tasted like something was missing -- maybe some spices/flavors were missing. read more

The food is exceptional. Dishes are delicious, fresh and not greasy. Waiting time not too long. The staff very friendly. Highly recommended this business. read more

Ordered ahead and stopped to pick up my food. Although they did have a dining room the restaurant was not at all inviting. It seems like they do mostly take out. Service was fine. We ordered wonton soup, mixed soup, crab Rangoon, shrimp rolls and boneless Ribs. Food was very good with the exception of the shrimp rolls. It literally had a single shrimp cut in half and was filled up with cabbage. That was disappointing. Other than that we were pleased. read more

It was sufficient to eat after a long day of work. Call before you arrive for quick and smooth service.

This is our go-to Chinese takeout and we are very pleased with their food. Our staples are General Tao's Chicken, Garlic Sauce with Chicken, Lo Mein, egg rolls, & Wonton Egg drop soup. General Tao's chicken is very good. Very sweet. Generally just the typical American-Chinese dish that is sticky and sweet and goes well with the fried rice. Chicken and garlic sauce is also great. The chicken is not fried but pairs well with their combination of veggies. I don't know about you but the Wonton Egg Drop soup is the bomb. I never saw these two combined and it's awesome to get them both in one dish. We have recently been exploring more of their menu and I can say that while all have not given me that fix for my American-Chinese take out experience, they are all very good. The Szechuan Chicken was decent but I am excited to try the Hunan style chicken next. The twice cooked pork was basically just larger pieces of the tiny pork pieces you find in Pork Fried rice. It was decent but I won't order that again. They have started to offer some Thai food so we tried the shimp Pad Thai and it was good but not great. Great portion and it was tasty, but it was packed into the container and felt compacted when eating it. If they cleaned up the store a bit I might give this five stars. I feel that they are a great Chinese take out spot but could benefit from just some fine tuning in the cleanliness department. read more

It's ok... That's it. The food has no taste and expensive... They nickel and dime you for everything

Delicious food, good sized servings. Place is always on point. Also extremely fast prep time. Typically ready in 15 minutes or less. Highly recommended. Crab Rangoon is amazing. read more

The place is great, good food and quick service and plenty of choices. It's my favorite place for Chinese food.

to keep it short and sweet. Great price, great food, we are customers' for life. It's nice to know that your money goes a long way here.

I had the dragon in Phoenix tonight and it was probably one of the best meals I had from there the food is always good but this one was especially great ... And I felt it deserved to be noticed. read more

Hands down best in town... Food is always done promptly, delivery is quick and accurate, the food is always consistently tasty. I have no complaints, I'm a happy customer. read more

They took full advantage of hiking prices due to covid, FIND A NEW SUPPLIER for your restaurant. I get a 1.50 to 2 dollar difference but they took it too far, $8.00 for a 4 piece chinese style fried wings?? Please check prices prior to ordering because they don't volunteer the information even with regulars. $13.00 for a SMALL order of just ribs when it's originally around $8, have a paper at the window stating it's "temporary" but I don't think it's temporary anymore. It's honestly ridiculous, I'm only coming here if I'm desperate for food until the price changes. What I don't get is how other Chinese restaurants are able to keep their prices and this location can't, even in expensive cities like NYC. They're doing too much, don't be greedy. read more

I have to say I wasn't optimistic about ordering Chinese food in NJ. I have had way too many bad experiences outside of NY. Being that I reside in NJ now I had to give it a try and I was not disappointed. Food was absolutely delicious and my daughter can agree with that being that she is a picky eater and her plate was completely empty. I ordered the orange chicken for myself and it was cooked to perfection with an amazing flavor. My daughter had the beef on a stick with some white rice which I will have to try myself next time since it looked and smelled so good. read more

The food is good but the service sucks. Ask just for 2 extra bags of the crispy noodles and the lady at first wanted to charge me 3.50 for it. Most places just throw them in then for the meal. Spend ove $40.00 +. Stop going here a few years back when they started adding a change for credit card usage. They have since repealed that procedure. read more

This is our neighborhood gem! Great food and fairly priced. Their egg drop soup, beef Lo menu, general Tao chicken, pork fried rice, and chicken wings - the usual dishes I order- are all delicious and flavorful. Definitely recommend. read more

Favorite Chinese food in the area. Scallion pancakes are excellent! Always good and fresh.

Better than most in Area. Worth the drive from surrounding towns. If you live in Perth Amboy, take the trip to South Amboy. All orders, big or small take 10 minutes. Vegetables are crisp and fresh, Szechuan dumplings are good Crab Rangoon is good Singapore mei fun is good. No real complaints Here's a pic of the menu read more

Oriental House - Chinese Near Me - South Amboy, New Jersey

Food 4 stars, service 5 stars, dining area ehhh.... we enjoyed it, great fried rice, good chicken and broccoli, good beef and broccoli, good sesame chicken and ok boneless ribs, nice portion sizes read more

My sister has a condo near this chinese place. This place has great orange chicken that my sister always orders! Its is small and very crispy on that nice orangey sauce! She got me hooked on it. Never tried any other food from here. They give free white rice like any other chinese take out. read more

This is a solid, local Chinese restaurant. The quality of food is good and their menu is pretty diverse. The most amazing thing is the service. I timed them once and the food was made and delivered in less than 15 minutes! read more

None of the items we ordered were cooked properly. The sesame chicken was a big clump of overly sweet sauce, the boneless spare ribs were over cooked and tough, the broccoli in the chicken and broccoli was baa as rely cooked and the Lo mein was bland. Not understanding the 4 and 5 star reviews of this place. read more

Food ~ **Shrimp toast was excellent.... **General Tso combo was on point... **Wonton soup just needed a few pics of pork floating around to make it a perfect "10" ** EGG ROLL was eh... **Delivery guy scared the bejeezus out of me! read more

I have been going to this place for years and I think they've spoiled me. The food's good, ready on time, and I have never had a problem with something missing from my order. When I've tried other local Chinese take-out, it sometimes disappoints when compared to Oriental House. There is a seating area available for dining in. read more

This is hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants I've had food from. As a Chinese person myself, I can be pretty critical. However, there food has been great! The crab rangoons are to die for. This has been my go-to spot. read more

If it was possible to rate zero I would in a heartbeat. This is the WORST take out I have ever had. They deliver my food with no utensils, "BBQ beef stick" RAW and unseasoned... they send me replacements after wasting my lunch hour waiting while my combo got cold and new sticks were like leathery dog treats. General tso's tastes like a toddler threw ketchup and vinegar on some chicken nuggets. No care for the food or the customers. Now I am afraid I will wind up with food poisoning from the overwhelming incompetence of the supposed "cooks" in this place. Unless you enjoy wasting your time and risking a trip to the ER stay far away from this joke of a restaurant. read more

One of the better Chinese food places in the area. Food is always hot and fresh and prices are fair. It's not too salty like some other places. I've tried a lot of things on the menu and they have all been tasty read more

I'm gonna say this one time , and one time only ; Philly Cheese Steak Eggrolls !!! AppleCrisp 2.95 for 10 ! ( they taste like apple pie bites ) This is one of my fav cheat meal places :) read more

This has become my go to Chinese place since my other fav Chinese restaurant jacked up the prices. I love the won ton noodle soup (but wish it had some shredded pork floating in it, I've noticed a lot of places don't do that anymore), crag rangoons very good, pork fried rice very good, and they have scallion pancakes which are delicious and I don't know of any other local Chinese that offers them. Shrimp and lobster sauce was ok, mui shu pork could use more meat and less cabbage. They have a lot of different things I've yet to try such as pad Thai. Can't beat their prices either. I will continue to eat here read more

The constantly forget parts of my order and instead of bringing me the items they want me to drive to their location to pick up the items that they forget. read more

Hands down best Chinese food I've ever had in my life. A co worker showed me this place now the whole store orders from here for lunch. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

I'm fairly new to the area and this is definitely the best Chinese food I have ever had. So far I have tried the fried dumplings, boneless spare ribs, veggie lomein, egg drop soup, wonton soup, veggie fried rice and scallion pancake(my favorite). All DELICIOUS! The delivery is prompt and the prices are reasonable. If you're looking for a great takeout option look no further. I have nothing but positive things to say! read more

I ordered the "panang chicken curry" (from the online menu b/c I didn't have an actual print out) which was awful. It was in no way "panang", rather it was literally yellow curry powder ladened rubbery chicken. That being said, I always gauge how good a Chinese restaurant is by their hot & sour soup and I must say- this was one good!! Not to mention the "crunchies" (fried wontons for the soup) were homemade- not the gross, cardboard tasting sticks from 99% of chinese take out places. read more

Yea, pretty good. The egg roll and General Tso's were both really good. The scallion pancake was flakey and sry, which I didn't like but my wife did. The dumplings were good, looked hand made, but i was not a fan of the dipping sauce- too sweet. The crab rangoon were money bag style, again I didn't love the filling but my wife did. Overall, this place was solid. read more

Compared to what I was used to in the previous town I lived in, Oriental House food was great. The staff are professional and the food is tasty. Also felt like it was healthier as the rice and other foods we would ordered was not full of grease. Will definitely keep ordering take out from this place. read more

I have never had a bad meal here and they are really friendly every time I go in there. Lately I have been getting the steamed chicken and broccoli with the sauce on the side, but the sesame chicken is really good too. At the end of the year they always offer us a nice calendar. read more
