So, last night as we were setting into our hotel room my Son piped up with a desire for Chinese food and he wanted some standard Americanized Chinese Takeout style Chinese. So, as we are not local we turned to YELP for the save. Needless to say there were some user errors, and we ended up in the parking lot looking in on China Express. I almost drove off as it's rather dated and a very run down. But, after consulting both YELP and Google then considering the proximity of our Hotel to the next closet choice we decided to go inside on order. Bottom line, the inside is nothing special & if I'm honest it's rather rundown with the menu offerings being the expected choices. However, we did not go inside for the ambiance, we went inside because my teenage Son was getting hangry. In the end the service was quick and the food was actually better than most of the other restaurants of this style I've eaten at. Noted, it was not the best Chinese Takeout, but certainly better than most of this type I've had the sad misfortune of eating. I can honestly say that if this restaurant was local to me it would probably be my go to Chinese Takeout restaurant. read more

I have to say, this is one of the better Chinese takeout/delivery joints in the Burg area. I've tried most that deliver around me, and this restaurant is one of the best, although that's not saying a lot. Every Chinese restaurant in the Harrisburg area is mediocre at best. We are seriously lacking in quality Chinese food! The Singapore Mai Fun was very good, as was the Hot & sour soup. The General Tsao was good, but not great. The Shrimp Egg Foo Yung was definitely better than most around here. The egg rolls were above average, but not by much. The delivery time was pushing an hour, but when you shouldn't drive, it's just fine with me. This will be my new go to for Chinese take out, at least for now. If you haven't tried them yet, give them a shot, you might be impressed? read more

The chicken and broccoli I just had definitely didn't taste like chicken. Stay away!!!

Dirty, poor customer service, and ever poorer food quality. Just go to another place entirely. Golden star on derry street is better anyhow

Disappointed. The poultry meat was not well done. All my hopes to eat a well-done poultry TODAY went down. Not ordering anymore from here unfortunately. Thank you for your previous service read more

The worst chinese food, I've had in my life. I am from inner city Philadelphia, so I've had my fair share of bad chinese food, but this takes the prize. I ordered shrimp fried rice, general tso chicken and a shrimp roll. The order took entirely too long to arrive, but I can understand because it was a Sunday. Additionally, the guy on the other end of the line was rushing me through my order. It was overpriced, the rice was old and stale and there was barely any shrimp in my roll or my fried rice. The chicken was clearly a chicken impersonator. I believe in tipping, no matter what. So I don't regret tipping the driver, however I regret ordering here. I never ate the food, it was too awful to get through. If you're in Harrisburg, attempting to order-in chinese, don't think twice about this place. Fin. -Madd (@MaddMack) read more

If I could give a zero I would. Thought of ordering from here again. Never complained intel know. I ordered a large fry for delivery. Got it. It was sogging like as if it was setting in grease. No fry. Half done. Called wasn't no compensation. She wanted me to bring the food back. I'm like what!. I will be going through my bank to get money back. Trust me... read more

Honestly this food is good!! The customer service however is HORRIBLE. I ordered food for delivery as I work at a job I can't leave. At Spalon, so I'm just two minutes drive away. A shrimp egg roll was forgotten. I called back, and the women was angry and argued with me that I did not order it, I was making stuff up and I was lying. She then hung up on me. I called back immediately and she said no no we were disconnected, that "I said hello hello and no answer" yet I was mid word when hung up. She and another women then spent 7 minutes arguing with me, that she was right, I was wrong. That it wasn't circled on the menu, I never said it, the order taker never confirmed it. And again; mid word I was hung up on!!! Well I called back a third time, said "do NOT hang up on me again I want to talk this out instead of being interrupted and talked over" the phone was put down and began speaking their language to each other and I heard "this fucking customer" Then they never came back to the phone! I sat there two minutes listening to them talk, and saying hello hello hello. Finally came back, I explained again how my call went for my order, I stated I was STARING at my menu and it has shrimp roll circled. Well we didn't charge you for it. That's not my fault! They finally said ok you come pick up? No. No I can't. Or I wouldn't have done delivery in the first place. So they said they'd send another one but it wouldn't be for 45 minutes!!! Long story short I will NEVER be ordering from here again. Extremely disappointed in the customer service, as well as the lack of belief in the customer. I'm not after a free egg roll people. read more

IMO, this place has the best Won Ton soup in the area. I also consider it the best chinese on the East shore. I recommend it. It's kinda ghetto, but it's legit. read more

For 15 years we have ordered from this place and the food is always delivered quickly and is simply fantastic. We ordered today, Mothers Day, and the delivery driver was so polite and sweet- one of my fav places for delivery in the area. The food was piping hot, we always order boiled dumplings and they were steaming fresh, the rice was good, the orange chicken was devoured by my daughter, we asked for a special order and they made it exactly as we asked! read more

It took over an hour to get my PARTIAL food order. When I told them they didn't bring me all of the order, they told me they gave me an egg roll instead of the soup I ordered. Uhm no. I don't want an egg roll, i want what i ordered. They asked if i wanted it still i said yes! Another hour passes, still no food. I call again oh they forgot, I'll make it now,bye. ANOTHER HOUR LATER I call again. Oh can we just give it to you next time you order from us? NO I haven't eaten yet I want what I paid for I can't leave work just bring me my food! They hung up on me. ONE MORE HOUR. I'm just coming to get it I'm now off work just give me my food! Just wait someone is coming. Twenty more minutes they finally show up and call me and tell me to come outside. Really? You can't even deliver it to me. This was absolutely the worst service I've ever had. I will NEVER order from here again and make sure anyone I know does not go here either. They are literally 5 streets away, only 3 minutes drive, and it took 4 and a half hours to get me my food. Ridiculous read more

It was ok. A little better than average chinese food. General Tsos was good and chicken wings were decent. I'll order again. Delivery was only 20 mins.. Enough said read more
