Orthodox Christians do not refer to it as mass, but the Divine Liturgy. What language it is performed in depends on the church's ethnicity, though most Orthodox churches in America do it mostly in English. If it is a Greek church, then it is partially in Greek; if Russian, then in Russian; etc. But, like I said, the majority is done in English. In Antiochian Orthodox Churches, the entire liturgy is in English.
At my own church, Russian Orthodox, we start Sunday Divine Liturgy at 1000 hr in winter and 0900 hr in the summer.It will vary from parish to parish.

Mass is not typically celebrated in an Orthodox Church. In the Orthodox tradition, the central act of worship is the Divine Liturgy. The Divine Liturgy is a Eucharistic service that includes hymns, prayers, Scripture readings, and the consecration of bread and wine to become the body and blood of Christ. It is a reverent and mystical experience that is deeply rooted in ancient tradition.
Divine Liturgy. Sacred Liturgy.
Divine Liturgy is used in several ways depending on which Rite you belong to. The Eastern Rite Church uses Divine Liturgy to refer to the Eucharist, and this usually lasts at least an hour in many of the Eastern Rites.
