Good neighborhood Chinese. It's consistently very good, though not exceptional. Sauces and dishes are what you would expect. Any of their chicken dishes (white meat only) are a cut above.

Awesome food, HUGE portions, and they deliver. Read the whole review:
I ordered my dinner (Hot & Sour Soup, Crab Rangoons, and Beef Fried Rice) through their online ordering system at about 7:45PM. I called to check on it at 8:30PM and my order had not gone through. It was a technology error so not a big deal. The lady was very apologetic, took my order, and my food arrived at 9:09PM. Which to me is not bad at all! Next time when I place an online order I will call to confirm or just call in my order, not a big deal at all.
Food: let me just say that the portions are HUGE! My order came to $18 and I could easily make 3-4 meals out of what I ordered and be completely full every time. The rangoons were very large, the fried rice was packed to the top of the container to the point where it could barely shut, and the soup was flowing over the top of the bowl. Well worth the wait and the price. Overall everything arrived hot and tasted freshly made. Nothing tasted frozen or commerical. All my dishes had a lot of flavor and were made with quality ingredients.
Crab Rangoons: They arrived still hot and crispy. They came with 2 different sauces to dip in a sweet and sour sauce which was very fresh and had a lot of flavor, and a mustard sauce which I did not try because I hate mustard in all its forms but it did smell very good.
Hot and Sour Soup: This was very different than that Hot & Sour soups that I have had in the past, but it was one of the best that I have ever eaten. It arrived hot (even the crunchy noodles were hot) and had so much flavor! The broth was rich and it really hit the spot after being sick for a few days.
Beef Fried Rice: I cannot say enough how fresh and good this was. Like my other dishes, it arrived piping hot. The beef was tender and not fatty or chewy at all. I was actually shocked at how good the meat was. Some fried rice can be dry and flavorless, this was very moist and packed with flavor pieces of green onion and egg. It did not taste frozen, greasy, or "commercial" at all.
I'm not the biggest fan of Chinese food, but my fiancé always wants it. I gave in, and I have to say, I was very impressed. We got takeout so I can really only speak to their food quality. The fried rice was fantastic! I'm not sure how one can make fried rice taste fresh, but they did. I also liked the chicken enough to save my leftovers and eat it again, and given my general dislike of Chinese food, that's really saying something.
Pretty good for American Chinese food. Absolute awesome eggdrop soup. A must try. Not too bad on the pocket book. Delivery not the fastest, but it's free.
BEST CHINESE FOOD IN NOLA. I'm from New Orleans, born and raised. I've lived in Metairie, on the westbank, and uptown. I've eaten at just about EVERY chinese food place in the greater New Orleans area, and this place is the best, hands down. I went to Loyola for college before Katrina.. and I was a take out regular. I came back for the first time 5 years later, and one of the owners (slender middle aged asian woman) said, " WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" This place has the best food, best prices, and best service in the city. HANDS DOWN. Five Happiness is a joke compared to this place
DONT ORDER ONLINE. Call them to place your order if you are picking up/ getting delivery. twice they have not received my order online even though i had a "tracking number" and everything
The food is great! Try the hot &sour soup. It's better than Five Happiness.
Awesome Chinese with a great atmosphere!
Good Neighborhood Place for Chinese. Sure it's not some Chinese restaurant you'll find in New York or San Francisco. But, for a place right around the corner from my house, it's pretty good. Plus, they have a good lunch combo and great service.
This is a wonderful place to come eat. You want to try Asian Cuisine than this place is for you. They have great seating , and a Bar.
We were greeted right away. And we were allowed to pick were we wanted to sit down. The wait staff were very friendly and service was very fast.
The food was hot and super tasty. We had the sampler platter for 2. Also fried pot stickers. It was enough for for 3 to have a light lunch. But the menu looked so good I almost ordered a bigger plate.
We were visiting from Texas for our son goes to college here. We will definitely come back.
Also when you come here it is limited parking. China orchid has some spots for there restaurant you don't have to pay. But if you are parking any 9thet place you will need to pay at kiosk by the street. It's min 30 mins for $1.40 and for 1hr 20 mins it was $2.30 . Not bad for parking.
I loved this restaurant because the people were great, the food was tasty and the music was modern Chinese.
I would
Come here any time.
I came to visit New Orleans from Houston recently. I had enjoyed quite a few authentic Chinese restaurants in Houston, but I did not expect to find that many good Chinese restaurants in New Orleans until I found my luck here. The food was super delicious and fancy that satisfied my palate. The service was also excellent. I really enjoyed it and plan to come back every time I revisit the city.
If you're looking for great Chinese food at a reasonable price you'll love this place. Some friends and I ate here today and love it. I read all the reviews and I'm pleased to say IT'S ALL TRUE!!!
We had Susan as our server and she exuded excellent service. Her drinks were made to perfection and served along with a perfect smile. The food was perfect and we can't repeat that enough. The location true is in a strip mall, but it's a very nice and comfy place.
Here are some pics of the food we ordered and I hope this review sends more natives or visitors to this location.
1. General Tso's Chicken with shrimp fried rice and egg roll...
2. Seafood Hot Pot...
3. Grilled Shrimp...
We are in town for the weekend. We stumbled across this restaurant and glad we did!! Sophia was our server and we enjoyed every minute of her recommendations, service and food! We will be back for sure. Thank you Sophia for wearing a smile nonstop and taking care of my family.
Interior of China Orchid has been totally redone. The new owner is bring a fresh feel to this restaurant. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and they welcome suggestions that may improve your experience here. If you have been here before you will notice the changes inside immediately. I'm looking forward to the menu changes they are planning.
Highly recommend and will be a regular at this restaurant.
Come and enjoy.

Sophia and Gene were
excellent. If you are in the French quarter take the St. Charles trolley to riverbend. Its worth the scenic ride. The service is better than most places in the French quarter. The food and drinks are excellent.
It is an amazing and quiet place to enjoy a plate of Chinese food with the family or alone. recommended 100%
Always a great dining experience, on this recent visit we ordered a large variety of dishes from soups to main courses. Everything arrived perfectly prepared. If you've never given them a try you're missing out on one of the true gems in the area. A+++
The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. The service was also nice. It's been years since I have been here, and from I can remember they have not missed a beat.
