"Tackling Orient’s menu isn’t something that can be done by a single person. The Chinatown spot has a huge variety of dishes to choose from and, quite frankly, trying every one would be an impossible task. But coming here en masse isn’t. It’s a Cantonese restaurant made for big groups—there are banquettes and big round tables with lazy Susans for you, your mates, and your peking duck to get comfortable in. Plus the wait for walk-ins is usually pretty short." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
