China Kitchen Express

Once again I find myself trying a new Chinese takeout place. This time I was in Livonia, grabbing…read morelunch while waiting for my wife's car to finish getting serviced nearby. My go to is General Tso's Chicken, which came with fried rice and a spring roll. I was fortunate enough to come during their lunch special hours, so it was under $10. Most places that have a similar offer give you a ton of rice to create the illusion you're getting a good deal, but I was more than happy with the quantity here even though it wasn't filled to the brim as the rice was delicious. The chicken was also perfectly cooked with the right amount of crunch on the exterior. When I have to get my wife's car serviced again I'm definitely coming back

It did say that it comes with fried rice and an egg roll but other places have said that but you don't with a noodle dishes. When I opened the Styrofoam container I found half of it. Less than half is noodles with less than the normal shrimp. Not even average compared to the others I have eaten. The egg roll was nothing to write home about. I have no clue why all the higher star reviews except they haven't eaten at some of the wonderful places I have. I will not be back.

Crunchy veggies with tofu was a hit for me.

Upon arriving I noticed the building is outdated and need a bit update and the service was not the friendliest but it was ok , not rude or anything but just fine. I was worried that this place was going to be a typical Americanized restaurant that offers over seasoned and greasy dishes but I was wrong. The fried rice was cooked perfectly without rice being mushy with good amount of veggies and scrambled eggs. My pepper steak was quite tasty as the beef were tender and the vegetables are cooked well while it has crispness. We also ordered dim sum shu mai pork. It was also surprisingly good with ground pork and I think bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms inside which was flavorful and authentic. This place is not high end authentic Chinese restaurant but for they offer a very good Americanized Chinese food with decent price. And the portion size was large enough that we had a leftover for next day's lunch. I'd say I definitely come back here.

In keeping with the Korean theme, I decided to try the Korean Fried Sausages ($11). As usual, both dishes came up FAST and HOT. I tucked into the bulgogi first and it was delightfully TENDER, and marinated in a WONDERFUL, SPICY sauce. The sausages were GOOD, and they seemed to be like a SPICY polish kielbasa. I saved most of them, took them home, and had them the next day with eggs for breakfast. Dining area and bathrooms are ALWAYS clean and inviting. I SHALL RETURN to try other menu items soon.

This place is Great! I've been going here for years. Are used to go to other places around town. They have all gone downhill & this is my go to place now understands strong in their menu, and their prices, and the quality of the food. There's no comparison in the area. Their portions are huge out of 1 meal, you could make it for a couple days. They are oversized & their prices do not match their portion which means it is a very good price for all the food that you get. They are a hard-working family there that go to lunch to please their customer. I even call ahead some times & tell them how I like my chicken cooked & they listen every time. If you are considering Chinese food, I would suggest you put this place on your list and I guarantee you will be satishappy. read more
