Oriental Plaza
The verdict is still out on this one. Originally located in the Staten Island Mall outpost (by the Babies “R” Us), you could always count on a decent meal at a fair price. You had 2 choices, standard Chinese fare or Sushi (this always struck me as odd but…). The Sashimi was always good as you could trust the chef to give you a fair selection of cuts.
Their brand new building on Richmond Ave is nice with ample seating upstairs. I must say I’ve only visited twice since they reopened, but am not sold. The quality of their food has dropped. The seasonings are bland (Chinese) and the fish (Sushi) seems to have dropped in quality as has the chef’s selection.
I guess State Islanders don’t care as long as the price is right. The food is cheap, so the place always draws a great crowd.
Oh well. There is always…
