Great find for me and the fam; even caught a nice table outside right off the sidewalk. Food was great, I had one of the best egg rolls I have ever had lol. Dead serious though. I went with the Sesame Chicken Wok on another Yelper's recommendation and they, as always, were right. My wife loved her Hibachi, a nice touch of garlic I might add. All in all a good choice

It as OK.
We were excited to try this place, since it was connected to the sushi place on the corner, so we had habichi to satisfy some and sushi for the rest.
Food: Was actually pretty good! I had sushi - Shrimp Tempura Roll, Salmon Nigiri, dumplings. All were good.
Service: Now this is were the major fail lies. The waiter too forever to come to our table. Once he came we quickly received our appetizers but it went downhill from there...
The food took a lifetime to arrive. We didn't have anything complicated. We never saw him again after the food arrived...for refills of our beverages, to check on us or anything. Then we had to wait 10-15 minutes to receive our bill and another 15 minutes to receive our debit cards and change back. It was absurd! In spite of us bringing our payment to the lady at the front, we STILL had to wait a total of close to 30 minutes after we finished eating to try to get out of the restaurant. It was the most ridiculous experience ever! -

I'm not sure why this place is teetering between 3-4 stars. It should be at least 4 stars imo. Their hibachi is very flavorful and cooked exactly right. What i mean by that is its not over cooked. For example, the salmon is still soft, the chicken is tender, the RICE IS PERFECT. I think I could order just a plate of rice cooked hibachi style-its that good. The waitress was on point.

Over the years I've been in this restaurant many many times. It's always been good, but my visit this Saturday was even better than I remember. the evening and weekend menu does not attempt to compete with the low price options around. This place is a couple of notches above anything you might normally have at a casual Chinese restaurant. the service was excellent. The food was delicious. And since we were downtown on a gorgeous day, we got to eat en plein air. it was a pleasure that our service did not suffer even though we were across the hustle and bustle of a busy downtown sidewalk. Check out the pictures. my daughter's sesame chicken was better than any place I've ever had it. We got the dumplings as an appetizer and they were much better than I've come to expect. I got the wok with jumbo shrimp and the house special sauce. Everything was perfect.

We visited The Orient on Main during our weekend stay in Greenville. Kelsay and I both like Asian cuisine, but I am very particular about the kind of chicken I like to eat... if I have the choice I prefer chicken breast over most other parts of the chicken (I know, I know.. classify me as a picky eater)
But knowing this, I saw that the majority of their hibachi and wok chicken dishes are prepared using premium chicken breast so I was excited to try. Normally we get different different things so we can sample both, but that day we both got the General Tso's Chicken.
IT WAS GREAT! Although I did expect a little more spice, the flavor was great and the portion was large enough to have leftovers. The sauce did have a slight kick, but also some sweetness we weren't expecting. The General Tso's dish (and the other wok specialties) come with your choice of egg or spring roll, and we got the spring roll. That was pretty standard, very crispy and tasty. My only complaint is that the chicken only came with 3 broccoli pieces.. cmon man lol!
Other than that, the food was great, and service was fast! We would definitely recommend you stopping by!
