    Orange chicken
    Gupta R.

    Great ambience, good service and awesome food. It's right on powers ferry and conveniently located. Decent price and nice ambiance. I have tried the place for few times with my friends and we all liked it. Recently ordered Orange chicken and it was fabulous! Freshly made with tender and juicy chicken and real orange mix. A place to try sushi and all the Chinese dishes.

    I came here with a friend and we enjoyed it! The ambiance was nice, the menu was huge, and our bar tenders were friendly (we sat at the bar outside.) I liked the miso soup but the tiger roll could have been better. It wasn't bad by any means but it didn't seem to have much flavor. I had the chocolate dome for dessert and that tasted amazing. The drink I ordered (I'm forgetting the name but I know "dragon" was in it) was pretty good. It seemed like the alcohol kept separating out because some of the sips had a bit of a bite to them when others didn't lol. The presentation was nice, it's very pretty. My friend ordered the Lychee drink and she liked it. I tried it as well and thought it tasted great. I might order it next time! My friend got a sushi roll (forgetting name) and the seafood fried rice. The portion for the fried rice was huge! She was happy with her meal. We were here on a Friday evening around 7:30-9:30ish and there was activity but it wasn't super busy. There was tons of parking available. I live nearby and have definitely seen it packed before. I'm assuming Saturday and Sunday evenings get busier, and if there is a Braves game it probably gets a bit crazy pre and post game. We had no wait tonight. We sat at the bar but I don't think we would've had to wait for a table inside either. Overall I'm giving a 4 because I really loved the vibes here :) I was a little disappointed in their tiger roll but my friend and I had a great evening at The Orient. I'd happily come again and try some of their other items.

    This is a very nice spot! Had food cooked fresh over the Hibachi grill. Jessica our server was extremely friendlyyy and courteous and attentive throughout! Will definitely be back as this place have a very nice vibe and excellent food!

    Came for lunch, there was a short wait but still pretty fast service. I got the Bento box. Came with fried rice, miso soup, tempura, beef teriyaki, small salad and 4 pieces of California roll. The California roll but slim and not packed with much crab meat. The beef teriyaki was okay, a little dry in my opinion. The tempura was good tho, it was fried well and came with a nice dipping sauce. I also enjoyed the miso soup and salad. The fried rice was okay, a little salty but still pretty flavorful. This was a good deal since it came with so many items but quality could be improved.

    So this year we channeled our inner Christmas Story characters and ventured out to The Orient for our Christmas Dinner. I had called ahead to see if they were open and if they may have a table and a very friendly woman told us "come on in, we're a huge restaurant and we'll find you a table!" Still... when we pulled up we were concerned about the sheer amount of cars in the parking lot and the large amount of people dwelling near the door. Worried for no reason, we were seated within 5 minutes and even had a view of the game on tv, which my bf was very happy about. We ordered the Mongolian Beef, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and House Fried Rice. I'm a little (lot) picky about my chinese food having grown up near NYC with access to some of the best chinese in the country (arguably) but I'm so happy - I finally found a Chinese place in Atlanta that was actually GREAT! It's hard to say why, more flavor? better flavor? my kind of flavor? Don't know, don't care, I'll be going back to try to figure it out often. Oh, they also have hibachi and sushi - maybe someday I'll try it - but there's so many more Chinese dishes that I want to try first! Also, we saw several tables had the PU PU platter, which is not my jam - but looked fun for a big table. Enjoy!

    The food is amazing! Very authentic and delicious Our server was amazing as well. The restaurant has regular seating and hibachi and also they have inside and outside dining.

    Came to The Orient for a Saturday lunch. You have the option to sit on the restaurant or hibachi side. If you choose hibachi, the Chinese menu isn't available. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, we ended up sitting at our hibachi table alone. The service was quick. Our hibachi chef was really great and entertaining. I took a star away because the tap water didn't taste fresh and the food could've used just a tad more seasoning. The music and set up was really nice - they have a ton of windows that does really well with bringing the natural light in. I'd come back and try the other side of the restaurant.

    Wonton Soup
    Elizabeth Y.

    Walked in with my husband for the first time on a weeknight for dinner. I will say parking was a bit difficult so be prepared to potentially look for a spot for a while. There was a very short wait, but we were able to get seated within a couple of minutes. Our server greeted us very quickly and got us started off with waters. He was very kind and attentive throughout the entire experience, which was greatly appreciated. For my starter, I got the wonton soup, followed by a volcano roll and the fried beef with peppers as my entrée. All of the food came out with rapid speed and was absolutely delicious! I particularly loved how fresh the sushi tasted and how unbelievably crispy beef was that they had in my main course. I think the portions are very fair for the price as well. We can't wait to come back!

    This place is such a staple in our friend group. The food is always delicious and the cocktails on point. Today was a wind down day with my friends so we sat on the patio with some sangrias, Palomas & lychee martinis. We ordered a chicken fried rice and Jessica albacore roll (tuna is not my fav in sushi) and it was better than I expected. Our server was very attentive and charismatic - he kept us entertained all evening. The vibe is always inviting, clean and friendly. Everybody seems to go with the flow (and it's a nice flow) so it's not so rigid

    As always excellent food. And quite possibly the best egg rolls in the area. Light and crispy!!! Great service and the music was perfect for the meal. Not too loud and great variety of genres. Just come by and if you have any wait (not that we ever have) there is a great koi pond that you can enjoy- and feed the fish.

Genuinely curious about the generous cuts of fish I saw in others' experiences as all our rolls were small (think the size of a big toe for reference...) I normally choose to not write a review if I have a poor first-time experience at a family restaurant and opt to visit again, but this visit was so disastrous that I cannot stomach the thought of round two. Service: First dish (ton-katsu) came out after ~30 minutes after ordering. Rolls came out 45 minutes after order. The restaurant was not packed. We were notified ONCE by our server while she hastily dropped off the ton-katsu saying "your sushi is late but you know all of it is." Food: - Ton-katsu (3/5): The sides (potatoes, miso, and salad) were fine. The meat was intriguing. It was impossible to eat without it falling apart as there were evidently two different mystery cuts of meat (one dark, one white) packed together. The texture of the dark meat resembled that of stale hamburger patty and the white meat was probably pork tenderloin? Regardless, it was fried nicely, but was incredibly dry and overall meh (especially for the price). -Georgia Roll (1.5/5): I love wasabi and spice in general, but this was not it. The wasabi mayo had way too much wasabi and it was inconsistently distributed throughout the roll. Almost inedible. The roll itself was not packed tightly and started falling apart before I started even eating it. -Dynamatic Roll (2/5): Overall, it was fine as there were no glaring errors that pushed it to the inedible front. The amount of eel inside was negligible and there were pieces that didn't even have any towards one end. Roll was also packed poorly and fell apart before we touched it. -Fried Scallop Roll (1/5): Wayyy too much eel sauce inside the roll. All I could taste was overly sweet teriyaki. 2 of the 8 of the pieces didn't even have a single scallop-- only tempura bits! Despite being fried, the scallops were cold inside, which was an odd experience. All I could taste was eel sauce and raw onion. Did we finish the food? Yes, because I don't want to waste food. However, I could not on good conscience recommend it to even my non-existent enemies.

I stopped by on a Tuesday evening around 8 PM, placed a call-in order, and it was ready in about 20 minutes--super convenient! I went with the fried rice and the Korean-style fried chicken. The place has a nice moderate-sized space with pleasant outdoor seating, and the staff was really friendly when I picked up my order. Once I got back and dug in, it was clear they use super fresh ingredients, and everything tasted like it was made to order. The fried rice had nice, layered flavors, and the chicken had a clean, crisp bite with a tasty sauce drizzled on top. Honestly, I couldn't quite see what all the major hype was about, but it was still a solid, good-quality meal with great presentation. That said, given the other more affordable options in the area with better portions, I probably wouldn't go back on my next visit. Would recommend if you're looking for fresh, quality ingredients in a convenient spot!

I shared the Karaage and Korean fried chicken with my friends and didn't find either to be something I would reorder, however I will say that my friends all spoke highly of the Korean fried chicken. For my main, I had the Wagyu Maki and it didn't live up to the expectations or price at all. We finished off with the mochi which was very tasty. I'll caveat this all with adding my friends who had the ramen and fried rice enjoyed their meals a lot more than mine. This could be a result of just ordering better items or just having a one-off bad experience myself. Overall, I think if you're avoiding seafood then Yakitori Jinbei might not be the best place to try in my personal experience.

I've been to this place twice and each time delivered! Both times I've eaten here I've gotten the Hibachi Chicken, large and half sizes, with a side of the veggie egg rolls. First let's talk about the egg rolls; they didn't taste frozen or store bought, and if they were, they did an amazing job of making them delicious. They had a ginger kick to them that I loved and they were a nice size portion. The price wasn't bad either like $5 for two. The Hibachi Chicken is tasty; no mucky or overcooked rice, seasoned chicken, hefty and flavorful serving of veggies, nothing to complain about especially for the price! The half size is like $11 and the full is $14 rounded up, and you get a ton of food for the price! My mom ordered the shrimp fried rice and wasn't too impressed. It was a nice sized serving from the picture and what I saw but I can't judge the taste considering I didn't eat any but it looked good. She's picky so I can't really properly assess the fried rice lol I can't give the place 5 stars because I haven't experience the restaurant to its entirety. However, the service is always good even with the cashiers at the window when I go being young, the restaurant appears clean in the inside from what I can see sitting in my bar, and the parking lot isn't trashy. It looks sketch but it's not lol. Overall good food and experiences. I'm going back to try that Chicken Teriyaki Bowl, their Veggie Fried Rice, and their chicken wings! They have a drive-thru, you can't beat that!
