Orient Express has improved in my two years here. If you know what to get, the food can be pretty good. It's not as authentic as Ka Mei (in Squirrel Hill), and the dishes are probably geared more towards CMU and Pitt students -- so expect heavy sauces and lots of vegetables padding each dish. Here are a few dishes I think have a fairy authentic flavor -- (xian yu ji li/xia ren cao fan) Salt Fish and Chicken/Shrimp Fried Rice, (kong xin cai, or ying cai) Not sure how to say it in English, but its the hollow vegetable...I think its called sauteed chinese greens or something on the menu, Baby Bok Choi (always a fav), and the (zha jiang mian) or Pork Noodles. Lunch specials are a good deal. I usually get the green beans (gan cao si ji dou) with steamed rice and the chicken. Dishes I don't like include: vegetable spring roll, mapo tofu -- I have yet to find a good mapo tofu in Pittsburgh. The service (with the exception of the male waiter) is kind of mean, which I think is unfortunate. \n\nOh yeah, and you can get bubble tea here. It's not the best bubble tea in the world, its also not the worst. I like to get the taro (hot), long yen (hot).
