Reviews for The Oriental Cuisine in North Charleston, SC
Hands down my favorite restaurant in Charleston. I?ve been eating at oriental cuisine for as long as I can remember since I was... a few years ago. They have the best pepper steak, pancit and lumpia. I also order extra lumpia when I visit to take back homeand eat the next day. So good. Read more

I?ve been eating at this restaurant over 45 years. The founder, Stan Godfrey, was a kind and gentle man who always took care of... everyone including his employees. After reading some of the negative reviews, we decided to have lunch there today. I had tosee if things had degraded as some had claimed. As I suspected, Janet and family continue to do a great job in carrying ontheir father?s legacy. The food is awesome and the lumpia is still the best I?ve ever had ? period! Years ago my wife and Ifrequented a 5 star restaurant and even they could have an ?off? night on occasion. OC is not 5 star dining nor some showplace,but it is great Pilipino cuisine and our family will be patrons for life. Read more

I have been a customer of Oriental Cuisine for over 35 years. It's still ok food compared to the five star before Covid. The... last two times I have been there my food was very disappointing. My sweet and sour porks breading was not done inside. I'm notsure what was different about the rice except it was gummy and had no taste. Prices have increased everywhere but for threeadults it was over $50! Won't be frequenting here as often anymore. Read more
Very nice. We recently moved to North Charleston. Eaten at numerous Filipino restaraunts for 30 years and was not disappointed... here. Great menu, great prices thst make this a wonderful experince. Serves also a common Oriental menu but the added Filipinoitems such as Bistek, Pancit, Adobo. Owned by 2 sisters whom we saw present on the day we dined here.i got Bistek, wife gotWonton Soup and Pancit Guisado. Wonton soup was excellent, fresh, and piping hot. Pancit and Bistek were both amazing! We willdefintely be back. Read more
Wonderful Filipino restaurant. I remember going here as a child and it is just as good now as it was then. The lumpia come fried... with a crispy outer wrapping on the outside with a delicious, flavorful filling of meat and fresh veggies and a sweet dippingsauce. The bacon fried rice and sweet and sour chicken with a pineapple sweet and sour sauce crispy fried chicken pieces andcrunchy veggies are also amazing. Read more
HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!! I don't leave reviews very often, so the fact that I am taking the time to leave a review should... speak loudly in and of itself! I placed a to go order at this restaurant for the first time last night after a coworkerrecommended this place to me. I ordered a dinner special that included sweet & sour chicken, pancit guisado, and the baconfried rice. There was hardly ANY sauce on the sweet & sour chicken, so it was extremely bland tasting and very dissatisfying! The portion size was also extremely small! The pancit guisado was pretty much ALL noodles with a few pieces of onion mixed in,and maybe one or two pieces of shrimp. Again...extremely bland and very dissatisfying. Lastly, the bacon fried rice had almostno vegetables or proteins mixed in it, and it was also extremely bland and so dissatisfying with no sign or taste of any bacon,whatsoever. And once again, the portion size for the rice was very small! I inquired about adding a CUP of soup to my orderbut declined when I was informed that it would cost around an additional $6.00 for a CUP of soup?! It was a huge disappointment,a huge waste of time, gas, and money! I will never order from this restaurant again. I ended up ordering Chinese food from adifferent restaurant last night because I was still hungry and craving good Chinese food after being so severely disappointedwith the bland, tasteless carbs that I paid for at The Oriental Cuisine. I really wish I could get my money back! The ONLYgood thing about my meal was the lumpia. Read more
