We have been wanting to try this place for quite a while and finally headed over there tonight. Ordered drinks and took some time to review the menu. Settled on 2 combo plates; shrimp & clams and cod and clams. Side dishes were onion rings, French fries and dinner salads. The salads were fresh and actually pretty good. Everything else we ordered was fried which may be where we went wrong. The cod was oil soaked, shrimp was edible but dense in a strange kind of way and the clams had a rubber band texture. The French fries were pretty good. Service was acceptable but I am pretty much convinced if you are not going for the actual crab fest, go elsewhere. I did see a few other diners hitting crab platters pretty hard and looking happy.

A solid Chinese restaurant with reasonable prices. Not a fancy place, especially compared to its neighbor Ichban. OH has an eclectic menu that serves both American-Chinese food and authentic Chinese food. Again, my review only apply to authentic items. It might be difficult to tell what the authentic stuff is, as they mix all items in their menu. I suggest you ask the servers before you make your orders (their English is not perfect, though). The highlight of Oriental House is everything in their Dim Sum section, a new addition to the menu after the restaurant changed owner in 2013. The steam pork bao or pork-crab bao is the best in town, and nowhere you can find real Chive Boxes (highly recommend) in a 100-mile radius. One of their chefs come from Norther Chinese city of Tianjin, which is know for flour-made cuisines like dumpling and baozi/bao. So they get some real stuff here. My favorite thing is their "weekend breakfast" during Sat-Sun 10a-2p. You will get a chance to explore a real authentic Chinese breakfast. Make sure you order the hot soy milk. Beyond their Dim Sum and breakfast, their food is good and authentic, but just average compared to other Chinese restaurant in town. Thus, 4 stars.

I can now die a happy woman... Because I ate at Joe's once again. This time I took 3 of my girl friends who had never been there, and they to can now die happily. It was that amazing! We had the stone crab appetizer, the New York steak, the Sauted Garlic Shrimp, the Roasted Chicken, and the Shrimp Scampi. Our sides included their Mashed potatoes and the roasted corn. Topped with 2 South Beach Peach Martinis and there you have it - The BEST meal in the world!!! In addition, we were seated quickly, our server was fast and super friendly, and as always free valet. Hands down the BEST meal I have EVER had.

First time here and was not very impressed. I got the pastrami sub and theres was 2 little pieces of meat and all bun. Flavor was good if not for all the bun. But I"ll go elsewhere for my sub Fix. I do like the hot sauce selection...Nice touch there
