Oriental Flavor - Chinese restaurant in Amherst - 25 S Pleasant St, USA

Taste and Adequate qauntity of Super Taiwanese Food assures that this is always full .Vegetarian option as well as Seafood paradise mini wok made our day special .Thanks .

Probably the best Chinese in the area..actually had good flavor when we ate in the restaurant. Szechuan flavor was on point. Dumplings a bit bland. Really nice waiter to our big party

They have good dumplings. I would recommend the Shrimp Crystal Dumpling and the Shaomai

I ordered mapo tofu from the vegetarian section and a side of white rice on DoorDash. (I didn't realize that it already comes with a side of white rice, so I received two sides of white rice). Though mapo tofu traditionally has pork, I didn't realize that they also have a listing for mapo tofu with pork under their pork section, and both listings are simply "mapo tofu" (the vegetarian version is slightly cheaper). Unfortunately, I assume that DoorDash doesn't provide the restaurant with the menu section that the item was ordered from, so I received mapo tofu with pork. Luckily, DoorDash refunded me. The menu on Oriental Flavor's website doesn't have this problem, as the mapo tofu under the vegetarian section is listed as "veg. mapo tofu". If you're vegetarian or otherwise don't eat pork and order from their online menu, you should be fine, but beware if ordering from DoorDash. Putting "vegetarian" in the special notes section might work. Hopefully, Oriental Flavor changes their DoorDash listing for the veg mapo tofu in the future. Other than that, the dish was tasty, and I would recommend it if you're able to order it properly. However, I haven't had many restaurants' mapo tofu before, so I'm not sure how it compares.

The food here is fresh and delicious. I ordered the soup dumplings as an appetizer. The dumpling skins were a bit on the thicker side, but well made for the pioneer valley. For my entree I ordered the salt and pepper seafood which consisted of fried squid, scallops and shrimp with Chinese salt and pepper style seasoning. Not bad! Including tip, I think I spent about $36.

That was filling. I always enjoy the food here. I like that they serve more choices than the usual takeout stir fry. That's you, Gen Tsao Chicken, I am talking about. Yes, you have that, if that is what you care for, but you may also just want rice porridge and dimsum one day or a sichuan dish on another day. Each one is uber delicious. Top it off with some sesame balls for dessert, and you are all set. I keep coming back for more.

What a lovely spot for Szechuan and dim sum! Can’t go wrong with the dim sum, but particularly love the steamed pork buns, crystal vegetable dumplings and scallion pancakes! The Szechuan boiled dishes are incredible, the cumin chicken is delicious, and the dry braised dishes! Amazing! The staff are lovely, helpful and kind.

My bf took me here for the first time. I thought to myself that it would be just another Chinese food place that would taste mediocre at best. I was deeply mistaken. This Asian restaurant may not be the best on the eyes but it’s amazing on the taste buds. They’re efficient here for sure. Their service and demeanor are so kind. They go above and beyond to make the customers happy. The food here is just phenomenal!
