Get both the Dry-Fried Green Beans and the Salt & Pepper Squid; the only way to choose one over the other would be by coin toss and now is no time for scarcity.
Yang Chow Fried Rice was more than the sum of its parts and the Sweet & Sour Pork was perfectly balanced and deep.
10/10 no notes.
This is not a buffet spot, and you won’t find the usual long list of deep-fried combo plates. Instead, The Orient focuses on authentic Cantonese cuisine made with fresh, local ingredients. Even the dips and sauces are crafted in-house. You can truly taste the difference.
Chef Ivan is originally from Hong Kong and a Gold Medal winner at the Canadian Culinary Championship. He brings genuine passion and skill to every dish. I make a point of trying something new each time I visit — which is no small challenge, considering how many favourites I already have.
Their fried rice deserves special mention: light, fluffy, generously filled with vegetables, and never greasy or weighed down by old oil. It’s exceptional. (When a side-dish is this good, you know the main courses are going to really knock your socks off.)
They offer takeout and delivery, but dining in is absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is warm and inviting — perfect for a date night, an evening out with friends, or a relaxed family dinner. The music is soft enough that you can actually hear one another speak, and the overall feeling is calm and restorative.
The staff are consistently friendly, and you’ll leave with generous leftovers, feeling satisfied but not weighed down.
I can’t recommend The Orient highly enough.
We got the meal for two and it was incredible. Not overloaded with salt – the food was very balanced with a lot of flavor.
This isnt a canadian Chinese food place but much more authentic. If you like Chinese food you have to stop by.
Parking lot is a bit annoying to get in and out of but thats my only complaint.
