The place was a lil hot but it was a very hot day outside so understandable. Plenty of seating where you order first and pay first, get a number and choose your table. I ordered the vermicelli noodle dish with egg rolls and a fried pork chop. We also got crab Rangoon and spring rolls. For me, the veggies didn't taste very fresh. I enjoyed the pickled veggies and the egg rolls. I think I was expecting more flavor in the pork and sauce. The spring rolls had bean sprouts in them which is not typical and changed the flavor profile a little bit. I'm a little particular as I just got back from Vietnam. It was way too hot for me to want to try a pho bowl but it's definitely on my list to come back when it's cooler. Love the noodle soup options and appreciate that they have such a full menu that offers Vietnamese, Chinese as well as Thai dishes.

There menu is rather extensive so if you don't know much about Chinese food I suggest a google search while perusing the menu, or asking the waitress. The room is small but has plenty of booths and tables and is tastefully decorated with Chinese lanterns and fans. A fried dough with sauce was brought out to us as a free appetizer which was nice. They have lunch specials for a good price but you can order anything off the menu all day. I got the vegetable delight lunch special which came with my choice of soup, an egg roll, rice and the veggies in a sweet sauce. Not knowing much about Chinese food I might try for something more 'exotic' next time but this was flavorful and filling. The egg drop soup was a bit thick for me, but it had nice flavors. The veggies were crisp and a variety which I loved. Others got beef moo shu and loved it. And now that I know what might be a good option I'll try veggie moo shu next time. All in all a very fun dining experience and very casual, with a lot of options! I'd go back and try something else next time just to expand my tastebuds!

The restaurant itself isn't very large, and when we arrived it wasn't busy. We did have to speak up to get someone's attention, but once we did, the gentleman working was friendly, down to earth, and very helpful. Since we weren't sure what to order, we explained what we were in the mood for, and he helped narrow down our choices from the menu. We decided to share a large wonton soup and a large beef lo mein. Although there weren't many people dining inside, they seemed to be staying busy with DoorDash orders, as there was a steady stream of delivery drivers coming in and out. They also have separate restrooms for men and women, which was convenient. Our food didn't take long to come out, and everything arrived hot and fresh. We asked for extra plates and a bowl so we could share the soup, and the employee gladly brought them to us. The beef lo mein was flavorful with a generous portion of tender beef and noodles. The wonton soup was piping hot and packed with plenty of wontons, making it very filling and comforting. The portions were so generous that neither of us could finish our meals, so we ended up taking the leftovers home. The employee happily provided us with to go containers.

Several times I have ordered from Chow Express thinking I might leave enough left over from the dinner to snack a bit for breakfast before I start the next day. Dude!!! I cannot fathom how they absolutely PACK a container with so much food. A typical round plastic takeout dish with the clear cover is filled so full that there is NO air inside the container. It is 100% food. And the outside is spotless. How?!? I am not complaining. In about 40 good years of adulting, I have figured out that a good Chinese/Asian restaurant has to do three things amazingly before you can be assured that the rest of the menu is trustworthy - hot-n-sour soup, eggrolls, and pork-fried rice. If any of those three things suck, just walk away. Hot-n-sour soup = Amazing. Eggrolls = perfection. Pork-fried rice = superb. The smokiness of the dishes, the rich seasoning, the flavorful spice (not particularly the heat spice) are all mouth-wateringly good. You CANNOT go wrong with this place. I am a large man and it takes me THREE sittings to finish a standard entree. Price is perfect. Preparation is fast. This is THE BEST Chinese food in Indy. Believe that!!!

There is one other place on the northeast side that passes them a little in taste and a little in portions. Otherwise, as far as near downtown - absolutely #1. However... two things really concern me that they should change. In the three+ years I have eaten there, the single-user bathroom has NEVER been open. The "out-of-order" sign has been there so long, the handwritten script has faded and you can't even read it. I am 99% sure it is against code to have a dining area without a restroom serving it. All the other restaurants must follow code. The "General" should too. How do they keep passing inspection with that? Second thing is... clean the seating area. Just a few weeks ago I sat under one of the ceilings fans that wasn't running. Holy @$#! was it nasty.
