| - Craig Street prides itself on being full of slightly over-priced takeout options geared towards the students, faculty, and staff of CMU. Orient Express fits in just fine here, although I probably wouldn't stop in unless I was at CMU.
First, the lunch deals are the reason to come here. I have never actually gotten the lunch deal, but it's an absurdly good deal. I think it's $6.75 for a meal, rice, and spring roll or something like that. You cannot beat it.
I ordered safe when I came here and got Shrimp Lo Mein ($8.55 w tax). It was really mild and lacked many veggies. The shrimp was OK, but I would order something else if I returned. The meal was pretty lackluster, but the takeout was super fast.
All in all, Orient Express will fill the void in your stomach, but there are better Chinese options in Oakland.
