We have been off for a few weeks and were no rush to head to our next stop on our Woodruff Rd Quest. The next place up was Oriental House which was going under major exterior renovations. Maybe that is was gave us pause.
We arrived around 5:45pm and much to our surprise there was a line for tables. However we showed up with the perfect number of 4 and waited for less then 5 minutes. We had Grace, Maeve, Becky and myself for this junket.
I don't want to broad brush all Chinese restaurants but sometimes their health standards are a little lackadaisical, IMO. The Oriental House was one of the cleanest restaurants I have been in. The kitchen/grill was visible to all the patrons. With that background we proceeded to order. We all ordered the Combo plates. They include a Entree served with rice or lo mein, appetizer and a drink. We started with the chicken Egg Roll to start.
Grace had the General Tso Chicken with Lo Mein. Maeve had the Beef with Lo Mein. Becky had the Chicken with fried Brown rice. I had the Hunan Beef with Broccoli and fried Brown rice.
Overall we were very satisfied with our meals. The meals came out hot and plentiful. We had leftovers for the next day which is a good sign for Chinese. The service was very good with plenty of staff to assist. As I said from the title we were "Pleasantly surprised". We will be back again. Although it seems you have to go early as there was a much longer line on the way out.
