Review Oriental Jade Restaurant - Bangor

I have to start by saying I have not been here for 15 years. The hostess took me around to see the restaurant. We were seated Quickly. The waiter came to our table for our drink order.Because of the beer brewing there I wanted to see the complete list. That was where his attitude changed. He seemed put out. I told him we hadn't been there for a long time. We asked about tea never got any. His service from that point on was subpart. The food was good,we got the dumplings they were delicious. The four happiness was okay,all the pork we got was gristle,we could not eat it. I spoke to the waiter and he told me they use fatty pork for flavor. He didn't bring us more pork. He avoided us after that. I tried the beer and really liked it so we bought some for home. We decided we were not going back there. I have waitressed enough to know you treat the customer much better than he did. I love the decor and the hostess was very good.

Everything I've had here has been amazing. The trouble with this place is that it is a little hard to find as it is tucked back in the mall parking lot behind the movie theater and off on its own tangent, which isn't as intuitive to get to as it could be. Once we did find it, we were glad we did and it is now one of our favorite places. Not only is the food great, but it is very affordable and the service is good too. I highly recommend the spring rolls.

The staff are friendly, but no buffet anymore, the prices are higher and the food tastes like it’s sprayed with cleaning fluid. It use to be a better restaurant back in the 80’s and 90’s. But lately, under different management, there needs to be some changes before I eat there anymore. I’m surprised people still eat there.

The atmosphere was welcoming, peaceful and nice, we got seated and a waiter came in a few minutes. The menu was well laid out, the drinks were good but the food had no flavor for me and my friend but my other friend who specifically said she wanted her food spicy had the best food. I typically expect food to be somewhat seasoned at a restaurant like this so that was a little disappointing but glad to have checked it out today.

OJ has the best Chinese food in the area hands down. The service is always excellent, and there's a reason it is a must-stop for out-of-town travellers. It's a huge bonus that some of the best craft beer Maine has to offer is brewed on-site, and be sure to visit the Bangor Beer Tasting Room if you're looking for a leisurely spot to grab a pint.

Overall a good experience. Prices felt a little steep at times. Some dishes you seem to get more noodles than you could ever eat, with an ok amount of proteins. Other dishes are relatively tiny at the same price point as similar items. All the menus are massive and take some time to navigate as they serve everything under the sun.

Very disappointed, it’s pretty much overpriced buffet food. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and it was literally chicken fingers with sauce drizzled on top. My husband got the General Tso and it was ok. The raw sushi didn’t taste fresh either. And they charged us $2.50 for a mini bowl of eel sauce, shoulda saved our money and went to Happy China.

Tonight will be the LAST time I ever patron this location. Our waiter Christian (I think) was the most unfriendly un pleasant waiter ever. He came over dropped menus in front of us and asked what we wanted to drink. He came back dropped drinks off and left for 20 min. Had to ask another server to have him come back. He came back took our orders and ripped the menus from our hands. Going forward he brings our appetizer off and walks away. Dinner comes 25 min later and again just drops the stuff and walks off. The food was the worst I've ever had from there. My sesame chicken tasted like nothing but honey and vinegar. I ate my sides and asked for a to go box. He comes back and drops it then slams the recipt on the table... I asked him to split the bill and he looked at us like we had 3 heads, but he gave us 2 receipts. I take out a card and cash and started walking to the cash register bc now I'm annoyed. He proceeds to follow us and say he is "our cashier and waiter."
