What Lorine Beier likes about The Orient Restaurant:
After moving to Brentwood Bay we thought we would try the local Chinese place. We ordered Sweet Sour Pork, Chicken Chow Mein, Chicken with cashew nuts, Chicken fried rice, Mushroom fried rice, egg rolls and prawn crackers. Everything was very tasty, especially the Sweet and Sour Pork. Overall, we would definitely order from them again. View all feedback. What TrippyPhil doesn't like about The Orient Restaurant:
Although we didn't find the food spectacular, it was fair enough, and very convenient. It was a nice change and represents another option in Brentwood Bay. We've been twice and on both occasions there was no one else in the restaurant. We'd still visit again knowing our likely experience. View all feedback.

Decided to give the Orient another chance, bad idea. The food was just as terrible plus the egg rolls we ordered were empty, really, never seen anything like it...

It was cheap, fast and good. Would recommend the egg rolls! I also got the solo combo B and I really liked the sweet and sour pork.

Frankly the Chinese food is better from the corner grocer. Ginger beef was hard and the sauce was just sweet n sour with ginger in it.

The Orient is the go-to spot in town for traditional Canadian Chinese food. While some customers have experienced long wait times and disappointing meals, others have found the food to be delicious and the service friendly. From hot and sour soup to sweet and sour pork, the menu offers a variety of options that cater to different tastes. Overall, the restaurant seems to be a hit or miss for customers, but for many locals, it remains a convenient and tasty choice for a quick and affordable meal.

We were in the area and were craving vegetables for dinner. So we decided to go to what we knew would be a 'small town/North American ' style Chinese restaurant...
