Oriental Express in Clio, MI holds a 3.3-star rating from 66 Google reviews, based on our read of the aggregated diner feedback. Taste feedback is mixed — several reviewers found the flavor just okay rather than a standout. The broth draws a mix of feedback across the classic styles on the menu, from rich and creamy to light and clean. A handful of reviewers wished for a slightly larger noodle portion.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl.

A reliable spot when you are craving a warm bowl of noodles. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it.

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.
