The epitome... of cheap Chinese food

You will be satisfied here, as long as you keep in mind that you get what you pay for…

Value: High. This is where Ori shines. The menu, like many inexpensive chinese diners, is massive, and pretty much everything is under 10 bucks. Some popular dishes are even under 6 bucks, which is almost unheard of in this area fueled by Microsoft salaries. If you want the most food for your money, consider getting the special dinner for two – guaranteed to not break the bank and have leftovers for the next day.

Food: Note the low prices. You get what you pay for.

Ambiance: Note the description for food. Ditto.

If you’re looking for a cheap chinese meal with a lot of variety, Ori’s the way to go. Just remember, they’re cash-only.

Dishes I tried:

Wonton Noodle Soup

Quite a good value for the price. You even get a good number of wontons!

Not so good, a bit too chalky.

Cheap, fast and filling

Confucius says: First is not often the greatest.

After I came to Redmond years ago, people suggested Ori to me as a “decent Cantonese restaurant”. I continued to go there for quite a while as a satisfied return customer due to their large selection and good price. Usually lunch, rarely dinner. But after a while, the taste started to get bland and tasteless. I rarely go back now.

Dishes I tried:

Baked pork over rice

Soft pork with tomato sauce, but needs to wait about 15 min for the baking.

inconsistent and ineffecient....

Like many have said you pay for what you get… This is the most inconsistent and ineffecient restaurant I have ever been to. It’s too bad the other HK style cafes have gone down in business – ie ABC, etc.

The food is never consistently hot, the servers look overly exhausted which in tern gives really bad service, where it takes long time to order and get food….

They no longer accept credit card, it’s now a CASH ONLY restaurant…

I get my HK Cafe fix here. There’s only one Cantonese Cafe Style Restaurant that I know of in the Puget Sound area that serves over spaghetti (just like in Hong Kong), and this is it. (Feel free to let me know if there are others.) It’s authentic, but don’t expect banquet quality or ambience here.
