After a failed attempt to visit a Downtown sushi spot (Saturday night on the weekend before St. Pattys day... ), we decided to head a little closer to home. After perusing some of the reviews for sushi spots, we decided to come to the Orient.. Top priority was good sushi of course. Next BYOB. Parking was great.. There is a lot right at the restaurant. The decor is a bit outdated with 80s type pastel decor. But this is the only cons that I can think of. We were greeted by a friendly host and seated right away. The staff was very pleasant. On to the food.. We got our order of Wonton strips as soon as we sat down.. And because we were super hungry, our second order was brought out just as quick. The Kirin roll was amazing! Tons of crab meat was spilling over the roll. It was so fresh! I absolutely loved everything about it. The Towson roll was another one that I really enjoyed. We ordered the Lava roll which our waiter did explain was a baked roll.. This was not my fave.. The texture was a bit off putting.. It wasn't gross but just really not what I expected. I would NOT order this again. This is a place that I could see becoming a regular at. It's not fancy, but you get good food for a good price. Good friendly service. Great parking. What's not to love about all of that.. Ooh and the bathrooms were super clean. Gotta love that! read more

A very nasty man when ordering on the phone, the food is overpriced and is of average quality. When an order is incorrect, the nasty man tells you that you ordered your food wrong! REALLY?!? Not worth ever trying again---sad, as we were told it was very good. read more

Great find. Friendly and efficient staff. So much to choose from on the menu. We've been here several times and so far have had beef with broccoli, pork with snow peas, chow mei fun, shrimp chow mein. Love the egg rolls, the wonton soup, and the fried wonton strips to snack on are fresh and crispy. Can't wair to go back! read more

I try not to be whiner but.. just had a meal the Orient in Bel air. It was national Peking duck day today so ordered it off their "specials" menu. What we got was, at best, duck fajitas Ordinary roast duck with tortillas and some shredded onion and hoisin sauce. I have seen some good reviews of this restaurant and I respect the reviewers views but this is not ethnic chinese food it is American chinese. The food scene in Bel air is improving, slowly but I think it will still be a while before people understand and demand genuine ethnic foods. PS the orient no longer has a liquor license. Mind you on my last, and now penultimate, visit I asked what types of Sake they had. The answer, hot or cold read more

Excellent food and service. Exceptionally clean! We've personally seen them cleaning the carpets every week. We have tried several dishes since the restaurant reopened from pandemic. All of the dishes have a tiny bit of the smoky, pan seared scorch. Very affordable- both of us ate for $20 at lunch and left full. read more

When I first ordered from this place, I got some of their sushi rolls and they were delicious. Ordered sushi again and wasn't disappointed. However, getting delivery from them this time around was decent at best. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken with fried rice and spare ribs. Kung Pao Chicken wasn't sweet at all and what's worse is that it barely had any flavor. Same goes for the spare ribs. It was some of the driest spare ribs I've ever had at any Chinese restaurant and it was flavorless. The fried rice wasn't bad tho! Delivery was fast and the prices are reasonable. You see the reviews about this place, this place is known for it's sushi. Their Chinese might not be up to par with the sushi unless I got the wrong dishes. I've been here a few times and only once was I a bit disappointed. Other than that, this place still deserves a 4. read more

This was on a whim... but man was it freaking good. We got pork fried rice, a portion big enough for a family. Hubby got the lo mein with beef. Which was sooooo good. Plus sushi. Was amazingly fresh and flavorful. read more

Just had the best meal ever! First time visit and no doubt we will become frequent flyers! Live close to Towson location, but due to anticipated traffic and parking issues decided to drive to the Perry Hall location. Hands down the best Shrimp Toast ever. Light, non-greasy, perfectly cooked. Shrimp Egg Foo Young with $3. extra shrimp was more than my husband could handle. The Sesame Chicken was incredible. Crispy, bite-size pieces of tender chicken in a sweet/tangy sauce with sesame seeds. Can't wait to enjoy the leftovers and can't wait to go back. Was surprised it wasn't jam-packed, but perhaps early afternoon is a good time to go. Clean, beautifully decorated dining rooms. Server was very personable and a pleasure to deal with. read more

The best Chinese and Japanese food I've had pretty much any where. You can tell their food is homemade. One of their underrated dishes in the Bao Shang ding, which is chicken and shrimp with green peppers in a delicious brown sauce. Love. Their sushi is also my favorite in the area. I know a lot of people rave about their California roll, but their spicy tuna has by far been my favorite for almost 14 years now. Everyone that works there has been there since I can remember and they are great! I hope they never go away! read more

My to go Chinese Restaurant in Perry Hall area. My favorite from them is the general TSO chicken, roasted duck, crispy eggplant, the lo me in, fried rice, Pearl roll sushi, beef and broccoli, chicken and broccoli, the steam sea bass was also good. The interior of the restaurant needs update, but nevertheless, it's the food that I mainly coming there for. So all is goo. read more

Rock n roll and independence roll are my go tos! Great to have such a high quality sushi place in the neighborhood. The decor is old timey Chinese restaurant (including the 1970s vacuum) but it's clean and well maintained. Haven't tried the Chinese here but sushi is great. read more

The Orient Restaurant - Independence roll! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Perry Hall, Maryland

I ordered delivery. Was told it would be 15 minutes. After waiting an hour I called and was told my food was on it's way. After waiting another 30 minutes I called and was told my food was delivered. After a spirited conversation with Sam (I was told he is the manager) he still wanted to charge me for the food because he insisted it had been delivered to my house. After some time I received a call from "Sam" and he told me I was right the food had been delivered to the wrong house. He then said he would not charge me for the food and would remake the order. In less than 5 minutes the driver delivered my food. Looking in the bag several containers were opened and the containers were soiled. I called "Sam" and asked if this was the same food that had been misdelivered. He said, they sent the driver back to the house where he delivered the food. I told "Sam" I thought the health department would like to hear about this, especially in this time with COVID. He then told me it was not the same food and said I should not call the health department. He did credit my account and told me if I felt unhappy with the free food just discard it. How many other deliveries are sent to the wrong house and then retrieved to be sent to the correct house? Overall "Sam" and the other staff are very rude and I can think of other places that need my money. My advice would be not to use this restaurant. read more

Food continues to be outstanding. Perry Hall location is currently carryout only, which was disappointing, as five of us had arrived for a celebratory dinner. So we carried out, but the food was just as great as ever. read more

The food was ok but the service was HORRIBLE!The delivery driver demanded a tip. I did not have any extra cash and I did not pay for the food (A co-worker paid for the food and I just picked it up) but he kept demanding a tip stating in a very rude tone that he needs something for gas. That was extremely unprofessional. read more

Solid. Hasn't knocked my socks off, but their food is astoundingly consistent in its decent quality -and this is key- it's never appalled, insulted or injured me. Plus, they deliver. In my mind that equals four stars, but awarded in a low-key fashion - without fanfare, fireworks, or frenzy. The Orient is our safe bet, and a frequent choice when we want reasonable low-hassle food. There is better sushi out there, but it's a matter of degree and it doesn't come with the convenience factor. They do an excellent job of packaging things up for delivery - grouping hot stuff, sashimi, and rolls separately. They'll even include packets of low-sodium soy sauce if we ask. I wish the contents of the sashimi assortment would change periodically, but that's a small gripe. The food is usually delivered about an hour after we call in our order. We've eaten in a few times, but their dining room is unremarkable and isn't a huge draw. And besides, they deliver! read more

Disclaimer: I have only had one meal here, but it was very good. I was pooped, and looking for a quick dinner. I came here for some sushi rolls but found a dear little salad called "Avosashi." It was avocado and cucumber with the most heavenly miso dressing. I tried to re-create it at home but failed miserably. So, guess that means I am really looking forward to going back. The sushi was good, the service was fine, and the menu was quite extensive. If I recall, they had tempura and teriyaki along with the usual Chinese suspects. read more

This was such a flipping delicious restaurant that I'm writing my first review ever for it. Real Chinese food is a hard find in this city. Not only does this place make the tastiest, richest, largest-portioned stuff but it also infuses it with love and care and a thousand childhood flashbacks in every bite. Oh my god. It's so good. I'm vegetarian and the options were ENDLESS. The Kung pao tofu was full of large, chunky bits of fried tofu just oozing tastiness and drowning in this to-die-for sauce. A must get. My friends got the pork fried rice and sushi rolls and the portions were HUGE. They use real crab meat too!!! The servers were super nice (how not very Chinese of them, haha) and my water glass must've gotten refilled a thousand times. I loved everything about the Orient and I am for sure coming back before spring semester ends, even if I have to hitchhike my way back. Everyone come check this place out, you will NOT regret it!!! read more

Went and ordered there and reminder we are about 20 mins away. Once we got it we realized the guy gave us the largest sizes and didn't even ask us if we wanted a small or large. When we got back home we tasted it and it was terrible with no flavor. Our father called and was told just to bring the food back. We did that and the guy looked at the food and said "I don't see anything wrong with it" seriously of course you see nothing wrong cause it's how it taste. Also when we tried to talk and calmly explain the problem he kept yelling at me and my sister who are in fact minors. He refused to do anything about it and would not give us any money back of our $60+ bill. ABSOLUTELY would not recommend this place. We've been there before and it was good but it was absolutely terrible this time with terrible service. We would not drive 40+ minutes there and back if it wasn't bad. Save yourself a trip and go somewhere else. 0/10 read more

I was introduced to this place many years ago by my best friend. I was close-minded about sushi before, but was convinced to try it against my better judgement (at that time). I am pleased to say that thanks to The Orient, I very much like sushi. In fact, it's pretty much the only place I ever go when I want sushi. I've never been disappointed, either. There is one roll in particular that I always order. It's not on the menu, so you have to know to ask for it. It is called the 'Tommy Roll' (not sure whats in it, but it has a glaze on it, and its served hot), and it is without a doubt the most awesome roll The Orient, or anywhere else has ever made. read more

Great Chinese food and sushi! Prices are great as well. Lots of flavor in everything I've tried. They also offer a lunch special, which is great . Always great service. Sushi is delicious, large portions and always fill me up. Ever visit never disappoints and leaves full and satisfied read more

Its good food, but nothing that knocks your socks off. The Tsou's chicken was crispy and not too spicy. The fried rice was good, but plain. The won-ton soup was so-so. Its probably a solid 3rd on my list of Chinese food restaurants in Perry Hall / White Marsh. The best thing I can say is that it wasn't too crowded, actually it was empty, and I left full and satisfied. read more

Ordered a few entrees, the lo mein was ok.. I got the shredded tender beef szechuan style... was 80% barely cooked shredded carrots 15% celery and 5% beef with no flavor from the sauce. Was completely inedible... first time I have ever just thrown my food in the trash after a few bites... TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!!!! read more

I love coming here because the sushi is pretty good and the rolls are always very big. I can eat a lot of sushi, and here I only need two rolls. read more

We rolled in here after a late soccer game. My son was craving Chinese food and this place is double bill - Japanese and Chinese. I suspect, however, that our palates aren't generally trained enough to understand (or even care about the differences other than Japanese = sushi and Chinese = Sweet and Sour Chicken). We were greeted and seated instantly. Our water cups were filled (and kept full throughout the night). My son and I both ordered iced tea and oddly, you only get one serving, no refills during the meal. Our meals were standard Chinese food, served quickly and efficiently. We boxed the leftovers (because there was an ample amount of food). Decent enough place. If we go back, I am definitely going to try the California roll. The waitress suggested it, other Yelpers mentioned it and someone near us ordered when we were there. I still think that the Szechuan House in Lutherville is better, albeit much busier. read more

I love there food! Absolutely amazing I won't go anywhere else for Chinese food! I can't stand the Chinese foods in Towson/parkville absolutely Gross! But this place is amazing love the atmosphere! Love the people as well so kind and friendly! read more

The Orient is our family's favorite Chinese restaurant! The staff is always pleasant and accommodating! We have tried most items on the menu and have found them to be excellent! Try their Dine-in, Carryout or Delivery and you will not be disappointed! read more

I used to love this place. Food has gone down hill. Sorry I wasted my money. Only ate a couple bites and threw it away. I don't think I will be returning. read more

Amazing food, great service and the price is right. Don't miss the egg rolls and the Towson maki roll.

Went here on a lark one day, and was pleasantly surprised. It's old-fashioned American Chinese, complete with tableclothes, crispy noodles with spicy mustard and duck sauce on every table, and all of the standard dishes on the menu. Plus they have surprisingly good sushi (including a roll with avocado, cucumber, and tofu). They also have a vegetarian section with multiple tofu and vegetable dishes (including crispy eggplant). I've been here multiple times, and the food has always been delicious, the service is great (and fast!), and the prices are fantastic. It's not trendy in terms of ingredients or decor, but it's a great sit-down local Chinese place. read more

The food is delicious, I go there once a week on the average. I'm on the first name basis with the staff. Great place, good food and the service is first class, I highly recommend the General Tao's Chicken one of my favorites. Frank read more

The Orient is my all time favorite Chinese place! I'm so sad the one in Towson closed, but apparently they will be back in 5 months. The food at this location is the same as the old Towson Orient. It's the best Chinese I've ever had. The portions are great, service always very friendly, and the food is always hot and delicious. I love their chicken with cashews, kung pao, chicken fried rice, spring rolls, and wonton soup. This location is a bit out of my way, but I make the drive because no other Chinese food place compares! read more

After searching for Chinese food that wasn't a buffet or tiny take out, we found this gem. This is the best sit-down Chinese Restaurant I've been to in a very long time. The food was great and the service was very attentive. The waiters wear the old school vest and black tie while the inside decor is very 90s. I'm sad this place isn't closer to us. read more

We have ordered from this restaurant several times and they screw our order up every time and never rectify it. We are no longer ordering from this restaurant again. The food is just average. We only bought for convenience because they were close by. But the hassle is way too great to have to keep taking food back and getting the correct order. Not to mention overpriced. They refused to compensate us for their mistake. They told us that they don't care if they lose our business. Poor management. read more

The Orient closed in Towson. Last time I visited the Towson location, I saw a sign in the window saying they were closing and relocating. I've been looking for it! It would be great if these are the same owners/employees from the Towson location. They knew me by name. Every time I called to order food, they said , "Hi Jennifer." read more

Tryed this on a whim and it was a great choice! The food was so so good! I fell in love with their beef lo mein! Tryed to order on Postmates but the menu on there was outdated so ended up calling them and picking up food ourselves! The family portions are great and deff enough for more than two people. Can't wait to come back! read more

My wife finally likes shrimp tempura rolls and we decided to check out The Orient. The area of the restaurant was a little busy but the ride was not long. When entering the Orient, we thought it was a little dated which may have its benefits with stability in the neighborhood. We noticed no beverages on the menu and when asking our waiter, he responded "Only water or soda" we stuck to the water. I also noticed many choices of meals including sushi. We ordered shrimp tempura and a small order of shrimp fried rice. Many restaurants provide shrimp fried rice, but not all know how to cook it; I enjoyed the Orients SFR. In a nutshell, the worst that could happen is you travel a great distance to try a new restaurant and it's a disaster, the Orient is just the opposite and will visit again. read more

They have the best sushi and the people are all really nice. The prices are really great as well. And they're fast. Love this place. I have tried things that I never have just because I knew it would be good coming from here, and it all was. The independents roll is outstanding. I'm actually about to go and eat here right now. read more

Best Chinese in the Parkville area. My husband and I have tried multiple Chinese places since moving to the county a year ago. The Chinese here does not disappoint and is similar to New York Chinese food. I always get the pork fried rice, general Tso chicken, and spare rib appetizer. My only complaint (not really a "complaint") is that the area that they offer delivery for is quite small. We live about two miles away from the restaurant, but they won't offer delivery to our residence. This place would be perfect if it could come to our door! Update 8/18/18: Just ordered from here for my husband and I. He ordered the House Egg Foo Young and I ordered pork fried rice and general tso chicken, with the request for the chicken to be spicy. I was reminded about how pricey this restaurant is. We were lunch for lunch portions of our meals and got enough to feed a family of six. The total came to $32 without tip. They threw in three cans of soda. I appreciate the "complimentary" soda, but $1.50 worth of soda does not make up for high prices. read more

slightly closer to a 3.5 The egg rolls are the best I ever had. Not greasy and made with very fresh ingredients. Good reheat factor too. I am also a fan of the asparagus and corn soup. You get a good portion for the price and with a little hot oil it is divine. I tried a couple of the vegetarian dishes and was pleased. I think their version of general tso's is sub average. the chicken has a very thick and hard outer fried shell - not too enjoyable. I tried another chicken dish (sha sha chicken?) and it also wasn't the best. I think the prices are reasonable. The one time I dined in, I thought the waiter was a little rude and he seemed "inconvenienced". i felt uncomfortable asking for things like more napkins or duck sauce. read more

This is the go to Chinese and sushi spot for the area. Huge portions, great prices, and BYOB. Have to try California Roll. It will change your mind about how they should be. The soups are great, too. Skip dessert of course. read more
