Cantonese Chinese food like I remember from the 60’s. I been passing this establishment for over 50 years and always wondered how the food was. It wasn’t until recently I decided to give it a try after hearing a food critic on the radio mention this place as one to try. First, let me say, I’ve been to every notable Chinese restaurant from Kenner to New Orleans for over 50 years and can say I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food is here. I will say it’s above average for flavor, quality, quantity and service. Here you can get a combination dinner for under $14.00 that includes soup, shrimp fried rice, egg roll and entree. The hot and sour soup was the best I have ever eaten. Egg rolls are average, however, the fried rice and entrees are above average. Huge entree portions that accompany the combination plates that are as large as the entree if ordered alone. The Kung Pao chicken was excellent and the sauce was very flavorful and sufficient as were the fresh veggies that dressed the dish. I have had the shrimp and lobster sauce and the dish brought me back to the days where you could find the way that Cantonese food is supposed to be made. I just wish I would have tried this place years ago- as for now- it’s my go-to place for Chinese food.
The restaurant may not seem all that great from the outside, but it’s good on the inside! It’s very nostalgic and the food is so good!
Fried rice was so good!!! Crab rangoons yummmmm! 10/10. Quick too.
Oriental Triangle Chinese Restaurant served delicious Chinese food. The rice is one of the top 5 in New Orleans due to its inclusions of a variety of flavors opposed to just eggs and rice. The egg drop soup is delicious!!! The beef and onions were very fresh. The service via the hostess and the waitress was fine. Oriental Triangle is spacious and was clean. I do recommend the restaurant and will absolutely return.
Terrific Chinese food from an Old Jefferson mainstay. Oriental Triangle offers many typical dishes but in a very nice atmosphere. Great egg rolls, egg drop soup, and today I had the Mandarin Chicken… as good as any I have ever had. The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere - it is an old dine-in establishment, and they play Chinese music - which is really nice when you’re dining. Coming back more often, this is a wonderful restaurant.
The food is always fresh and hot. Not warmed in a microwave hot. My kids love this place. The staff is friendly and we dont feel out of place when we do visit. I actually took my son when he had a half day at school, and then the rest wanted to try it out. Give it a try. They are good.
The food is really good and priced right. This is a little gem of the Jefferson area. I recommend you give them a try
