Rare find that serves pan fried noodles. Reasonable price, generous portion, easy drive through pickup.Wish they had almond cookies.

It was okay, but don't expect the food to be very delicious. The General's chicken wasn't spicy! Anyway, the portions are family portions, so you'll definitely get enough food and then some. Again, the food was okay but not the best I've ever had. Service was good tho, very prompt in making the food.

Enjoyed LO for the first time. Ordered takeout for lunch. Good food and service. It was a pleasant experience, happy all the way around! We had recently experienced the opposite at RJ in Layton. Glad co-workers suggested LO.

The Little Orient is a small family run restaurant. They have been slowly opening since Covid. Their restaurant is back open although it’s still not full service.You can call ahead or order online. We called with our order, then we sat and ate at the restaurant. It’s a quaint restaurant. We were the only ones there but we remember what it was like before Covid hit.The food is great. It’s fresh, made to order Chinese food. We’ve been eating here for years.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking close to the door.

The chicken was old. Sesame chicken and sweet sour chicken. We threw it away. This wasn’t our first time eating here. But after the money spent and a family not able to eat, this will be the last

Tried this place for the first time. Ordered egg drop soup, lemon chicken, vegetable chow mein with hard noodles, ham fried rice, battered shrimp, and spring roll. The only thing good was the egg drop soup, chow mein and chicken. The ham fried rice was over cooked and had a weird taste. The shrimp was also way over cooked. I had to throw both away. The spring roll was just ok; really bland.The next day when I went to eat the rest of my chow mein there was a long hair in it.Needless to say I will never go again.

It's sad to see restaurants like this one not doing well, when they've been around since I was a kid 25 years ago. The quality of food is poor, the service was mediocre, and the feeling of sitting in the restaurant with stuff stored around the tables and no guests makes you feel uncomfortable. First impression walking in the door the cashier is on the phone with someone that is obviously not work related, and immediately tells us they only do take out because of no customers. I wonder why? I don't recommend this restaurant. There's 10 other Chinese restaurants that will satisfy you.

Paid twice as much and the food was horrible. I'll not be going there ever again.
We got takeout and the main dishes were beyond bland. The cream sauce that was with the walnut shrimp was just....not good. The rice was also overcooked and bitter. We were disappointed and ended up throwing it all away. The only thing we liked were the sesame balls. Not worth the money to go again though.

It's exactly what you'd expect. That is NOT to say you should skip it.If you want a solid, go to Chinese restaurant it's a good option.I've never had a bad experience and the food quality has always been solid.Nothing I'd wow about but a good go to option.Don't set high expectations but it'll fall right into what you'd want and expect from a take out Chinese restaurant.

This place is not very good... the staff was so friendly, but my entire party ate like five bites of their food and then we left. I got the broccoli beef, and it was fine, but I would just skip this place and go literally anywhere else.

Do yourself a favor and steer clear!!! A big NO from me. Run down interior space, mainly onions and cabbage in your order. And their definition of chicken chow mein is cabbage and squash with one piece of chicken and no noodles just some fryer crunchy noodles like on top of Hawaiian hay stacks. The main lady was very friendly though. But I'm honestly not sure how they are still in business . I low key think it's just there for money laundering.

Asked if they make Singapore noodles, they said yes some lomein version, but they clearly do not. It’s a curry based glass/vermicelli type noodle with bean sprouts, onions and celery along with curry. Not the lame version of soy sauce drenched extra black pepper noodles you gave with every which vegetable you could think of. If you didn’t know how to make it, don’t say you do cause the version you made doesn’t exist but in your own head. Next time google it!
