Orient Express
Nestled in the heart of Georgetown, Kentucky, Orient Express is a cozy spot you’ll want to bookmark for your next dining outing. Located at 1039 Lexington Rd, this local favorite quietly delivers flavors that keep people coming back without the fanfare of a big-city buzz.
Step inside and you’ll feel the laid-back vibe immediately—perfect for families with kids, small groups of friends catching up, or even pet owners, since yes, dogs are welcome too. There’s no rush here, just good food in a calm setting.
Now, let’s talk about what really matters: the food. The menu at Orient Express leans into Asian-American comfort classics, and a few dishes really steal the spotlight. Their Sweet and Sour Chicken hits that perfect balance of tangy and crispy—super satisfying without being too heavy. If you're into bold, rich flavors, the Mongolian Beef is a must-try. Tender slices of beef, savory sauce, and just the right amount of kick make it an easy favorite. Then there's the Lemon Chicken: light, zesty, and refreshingly different from the usual fried fare. It’s the kind of dish that surprises you—in a good way.
What really makes this place special, though, is the balance it strikes. It’s not trying too hard to be trendy, but the food feels thoughtful. The setting isn’t overly fancy, but it's clean, friendly, and just works for everything from a casual weekday dinner to a small celebration.
So whether you're a local or just passing through Georgetown, Orient Express deserves a spot on your list.

Tried this for the first time last week and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered to go but they had a nice indoor dining area. My food was cooked while I waited and was delicious. I thought their prices were a little higher than I'm used to but the portions were generous. I'll certainly go back
My grandson's favorite restaurant!! He gets dinner there about twice a week ! Fast and delicious meals , he especially likes the hibachi steak with yum yum sauce. He loves the zucchini and they give him two servings instead of salad. Friendly!
The food was great! The lunch prices are an awesome rate, and you get a good portion for the price. The service was fast and picking up at the window was easy! I haven't been able to dine in yet, but this will definitely be our new go-to for Chinese food in Georgetown!
We go by Orient Express whenever we want Chinese food. The restaurant is not new, but it is clean. The service is always great whether we eat in or take out. The couple that runs the place is very friendly and they work hard to make sure you are happy with what you ordered. The food is always hot, it tastes good, the serving size is generous, and it has a pleasing presentation. We continue to frequent this restaurant.
First timer. Pleased with the service and food. My new go to in Georgetown. Probably will order online next time. In and out!
