China Express

Their food is always hit or miss. If the woman makes my food I know I’ll love it, if one of the others make it I know I won’t enjoy it as much. It’s just a hole in the wall place, not the best kept place but functional. Lately the food has tipped more on the side of bad.

I want to start by saying for some reason the quality of food depends on the time of day you order. If you order food before 6:00PM it isn’t as good as when you order 7 pm and later.
My husband and I eat there frequently, we aren’t always happy with the food but it’s decent. I love beef fried rice and their is alright, I don’t like hard crunchy carrots in my rice but I tolerate it. Their beef lo mein is pretty awesome, my husband can’t get enough of it. I am a sweet and sour chicken lover so I never fail to order some, I have never met a sweet and sour chicken I didn’t like! Thier BBQ spare ribs for 2 is a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. Some days they are awesome, cooked just right with lots of eat on them and other times you’re scratching your head trying to find meat on the bones and they are charred. You can’t really blame them for the ribs not being meaty enough I saw one of the ladies preparing ribs once from a store bought package. Their fried pork dumpling are great, need to be fried a little more but WOW that sauce they give you with it is like crack, you just want more and more and more. We always order double or even triple of the sauce. We like their fried won tons, awesome crunchy goodness!
The last time we ordered from them we knew ordering early wasn’t a good idea but we were starving, We ordered 2 combination plates off their dinner menu and it was beyond horrible. We ordered egg drop soup and won ton soup as a side to our dinner meal and both soups went down the toilet. The egg drop soup was just empty yellow water with no taste and the won ton soup had 3 won tons in there there were mushy in the worst possible way — gagged a little. The rice never tastes the same early either, they make their best rice late at night. I know that sounds odd but it’s a rule to follow. Order after 7.
This place is just a little hole in the wall, It’s not fancy or up scale just a small little place with a kitchen, a table or two and a counter.

It is what it is. If you order from here expecting gourmet chinese food of sit down restaurant quality than you will be disappointed. If you are just looking for a quick chinese food fix than this place is solid. Also one big thing is you can order online so nothing gets lost in translation.

Food is average but this is why I won’t be ordering from them again: EXTREMELY poor service. Was told food would be ready in 20 mins… went to pick it up, and they didn’t even print out the order yet. We called back 20 minutes later… still haven’t started making the food. We asked them to start making the food — the person who responded the phone actually responded, «I have to check and see if we can do that.» No apology at all. I understand there are busy nights, but that doesn’t mean customer service goes out the window and lying repeatedly is ok. Will not be ordering from them again.
