To be oriental, you must be of Asian culture and Asian descent.
Oriental cuisine can actually refer to very different styles of Asian cooking depending on the nation or area. The Oriental section of Asia covers a huge chunk of eastern Asia known as the Far East, and thus encompasses a wide range of culinary traditions. What might be called Oriental cooking in one nation might be considered something else in another nation.
Asian simply means an ethnicity from the continent of Asia. Oriental means someone of an ethnicity of the Orient, like China, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Korea, etc. The term "oriental" is frowned upon in Canada, USA and Australia as offensive, so such people tend to use "Asian" to refer to them in sometimes their close relatives like the Polynesians and even Amerindians. In the UK, "Asian" means someone from South Asia (like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, etc.), and the term "oriental" is not viewed as offensive.
Asian refers to people, places, and things from the Asian Continent, from Turkey to the Middle East, India, China, Mongolia, parts of Russia such as Siberia, and the south-east Asian countries such as Burma, Cambodia, Korea, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Oriental refers to people, places, and things to the East of the Asian Continent, such as Japan, the Philipines, and Indonesian islands. Racially one can easily distinguish the people by their slanted eyes, that is not common in the south-east Asian countries, e.g. in Thailand or in Indonesia.

An oriental market is often referred to as an "Asian market" or "ethnic market." These markets typically specialize in food products, ingredients, and goods from various Asian cultures, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Indian cuisines. They offer a wide variety of items, such as spices, rice, noodles, and fresh produce, catering to both local residents and those interested in Asian cooking.
