China Express Carry-Out

Last night I ordered the chicken teriyaki, the chicken fried rice and a wonton soup. I really…read moreenjoyed the chicken teriyaki. This is the first time in a long time that I have found a restaurant that cooked this dish just right. The chicken was tender and juicy and covered ( coated) with a yummy teriyaki sauce. The chicken had not marinated in the sauce, it was white; not brown or red, and it was cooked just the right amount; not dried out like some other restaurants. This was take out; and we will order again. Very good!

The restroom was dirty, and I strongly recommend checking it before deciding to eat here--or…read moreanywhere else, as a general rule of thumb. Based on taste alone, I would rate the food 3 stars, though the fried rice was disappointing. The lack of consistent bathroom sanitation is a concern. Additionally, while I was placing my order, the front counter staff answered two separate phone calls and took other orders, leaving me waiting even after standing in line. I understand it was the dinner rush, but the service still felt inattentive.

Wings!

I was with my family and did…read morenot have the opportunity to get names, but every single staff member I saw was working hard, diligently, and with haste. Our server immediately greeted us with a great big smile, she took our drink orders and described some of the drinks to us. We put in an order for 2 spring rolls and 2 eggs rolls which were to die for. Perfectly crunchy, crispy, and full of flavor with great dipping sauce! They came out piping hot and delicious. I also got egg drop soup which simply cannot be beat. The soup was not too thick and not too thin or watery. The green onions were fresh. The crisped wontons had just the right amount of crunch. Together the dish was savory and delightfully flavorful. Now, my guest can often be difficult to please (as food must be extremely specific), but it's not ever usually a problem that a "good restaurant" can't handle. They handled it perfectly. We got the chicken with two winter veg, no sauce or mushrooms and add water chestnuts. It came out exactly that way. Perfect. Not only perfect but steamed to perfection. I also got the chicken w winter veggies--with sauce-- which is a brown gravy. What can I say OTHER than it was also perfect!! The meat was cooked to tender, not dry. The veggies were bright and deliciously tender, but still had a gentle crunch (the ultimate dish style!). My husband got the orange chicken and the spice was absolutely divine. The orange chicken sauce was pungent and sweet. If you like heat, this one is for you!! The chicken was crispy under the layer of aromatic, REAL orange flavored sauce. My other guest got the Mandarin combination plate, which featured a host of veggies, surf and turf meats, and a spicy brown sauce on top. Again, meat and veg cooked to perfect tenderness, with the veggies snapping and crunching just enough but tender enough to enjoy. Drinks were a teapot for the table (which may have been a bit strong for my guests, but I drank it!) A coconut punch (non alcoholic), which is a virgin iced Pina Colada. I didn't expect that, but I still guzzled it down. It came in a parrot glass, too!! So fun!! The rest of the table got coke and tea and were just as good. (Yes I tried everything). And we came here because we've been seeing their really amazing TikToks and want to contribute to bringing this WONDERFUL restaurant back into the folds of the community and wrap them in support. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

Delicious place.

I get the shrimp with lobster sauce a lot because it's one of my favorites and I like the way the flavor mixes with the rice. Their fried rice, as a whole, is not that good. They have a few tables set up inside, I rarely see people eating there, but it's a nice place to wait. I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes for my order to be ready, which I greatly appreciate. There is parking right in front and on the side. Evenings and weekends, the front parking can be a little crazy because of the neighboring businesses, but it's still not a huge issue. Honestly, what I appreciate most about this location is the service and the drink offerings. This is definitely the best service I've had at a carryout in this area.

The service was amazing. Never had to wait for a refill on my drink. Food was all around good…read moreexcept one thing. Alot of the food was spicy and you could see what I could assume were jalapeños or large green chili's, sliced up and in with, well, any meat(beef or chicken) that had a sauce. Like general shos, teriyaki chicken, beef and broccoli, garlic shrimp,etc. Foods along those lines. They were all just spicy. I understand these foods are traditionally spicy, but maybe in a buffet setting, you should go ALL NON-spicy. Not everyone eats spicy food. If you want people to have the spice option, then keep a bottle of some sort of traditional chinese hot sauce on the tables. So if someone wants to make their food spicy, they can. But other than that the food was very good. The sushi was sadly just ok. I mean the more fancy the roll the better it was. The rice was a little dry. So id say theres room for improvement on the sushi. But all in all, I loved the place. I will be back. The ambiance was very nice too. It looks like they've gotten all new tables and chairs.

We weren't finished, and were allotted 2 hours to our spot at the buffet. She came back around while we continued to talk and enjoy our two hours and gave me the receipt. Instead of leaving while I paid, she stood and waited for me to finish signing the check. She saw that I did not leave a tip (it was 67 dollars for 20 minutes and we felt rushed) and verbally said "no pay?" I felt pressured to leave 5 dollars while she looked over my shoulder. I returned the receipt and she said "just 5?" And I said "yes," and then she corrected my math on the receipt because I hadn't changed the total. We rushed out, uncomfortable and deciding not to return. I've never had a waitress (who we only saw once before she rushed us out) force me into a social situation where I felt obligated to tip. I don't make a lot, I was taking my loved ones out to enjoy 2 hours and got 20 minutes and a really uncomfortable experience both due to the humidity and the staff. The food was OK. Everything was mostly dry, but decent. Not worth 73 dollars.
