The old Andy's Diner was a familiar place, but now it has been Orient Express for such a long time I am beginning to forget what I used to eat there. Now I look forward to consistent Chinese food, delicious won ton soup, great orange chicken, honey walnut prawns and stir fried rice noodle with beef. Love that it also has a full bar and you can choose to sit in one of the cars far enough away from the bar to avoid the noise. Separate rooms are also available if you are looking for a little more privacy. Service has been good and the food comes out pretty fast.

Great portions. Fast service. In the middle of nowhere. But good food. The Thai peanut sauce had a kick. Not used to the curry in it. But it got better as you go. The rolls themselves had too much shredded lettuce and mung beans sprout. Still worth a try. BBQ Pork Fried Rice is always a favorite. General Tso's Chicken is tasty, but a little stringy. Smaller pieces would help. They are ginormous pieces. But still tasty. Same for BBQ pork. Restaurant style... Cabooses? Anyhow, a bit excessive, but a unique dive.

I was genuinely not expecting much from my visit to Orient Express, but I was delighted by what I found. My partner and I enjoyed some really flavorful General Tso's chicken, as well as green bean and beef stir fry, and some plump and juicy pork dumplings. Everything was delicious! The restaurant is in an industrial, slightly sketchy part of town. However, the real benefit is there is TONS of parking in the giant parking lot. It's not well-lighted, and there are a lot of potholes, so do be careful walking to the entrance at night. The entire restuarant is comprised of decommissioned train cars, including one that was part of Roosevelt's famous whistlestop train tour! Everything is a little rough around the edges, but that is part of the appeal. The seats were comfortable, the dining cars are extremely spacious, and there's just something so undeniably enjoyable about having dinner on a train. I highly suggest checking Orient Express out, even if it's just for a photo opp. The bright yellow train cars are hard to miss!

Orient Express went out of their way to grant me the BEST 30th Birthday Dinner I could've imagined. Their karaoke rooms are outstanding... they have a way for you to get any song you want to sing (using their selection or YouTube). And their service was so thoughtful and attentive and lovely. They worked with me to create a full-vegan menu for the dinner, and I daresay it was one of the best meals of my life. The salt and pepper tofu, the eggplant, the veggie fried rice.....etc. Just a really special meal, evening, and memory. You're the best, Orient Express! Can't wait to come back for more :)

theyre open for food past 11, the sign on the window says 2AM. stop in for food and check it out anyway. the bar closes earlier though. such a cool /historic spot. a must see for anyone visiting seattle. very awesome to hangout and chill essentially on the outskirts of the city, everyone i bring here is always happy and enchanted to see this place. good memories. the food is good enough but essentially the ambiance and location is the best part. i hope this place never closes. the people working here are sweet.

I was nearly deterred by the reviews on Yelp and Google, but coming to Orient Express was a great experience. My frisbee team stopped by late on a Sunday night after a game, and the host welcomed us and put us in the karaoke room! It smelled a bit like smoke, but that smell slowly disappeared as the food came out. My table ordered the Salt and Pepper Tofu, Seafood Noodles, HK Fried Rice, Egg Drop Soup, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Eggplant. The food was honestly great. They nailed the HK Fried Rice and the Salt and Pepper Tofu. The portions were generally pretty big (except for the Shrimp) and none of us left hungry. Our waitress was also really nice and brought out so many bowls and plates once she saw we were doing a family-style meal. The vibes seem a little off from the outside since it's in a quiet area and the old train car gives spooky vibes, but it's great once you step inside. There's also plenty of parking! I really recommend stopping by and trying out this place.
