Chinatown Express

I was looking for a good take-​out place, and a friend recommended this place. It was great. The owners were extremely friendly, and made conversation while the meal was being cooked. The food was ready quite fast, even for fried rice. I got the combination fried rice, with chicken, beef, and shrimp, extra spicy. I like things quite spicy, and it was the perfect amount of heat. While talking to the owner, he pointed out that I should try their homemade chili paste. I tried it, it was great as well, better than my storebought. The rice was seasoned just how I like it, not bland like I’ve had it in a number of places. It came in a styrofoam to-​go container that was piled to the brim from front to back with rice, with an even distribution of shrimp chicken and beef, and shredded eggs — plenty enough meats to have at least a piece for every bite. There was plenty enough for 2 – 4 meals alone. I’ll be back!

By far, the most bland tasting food EVER! Chicken was dry and pre-​cooked. Don’t waste your time or $$$

The food was decent, but didn’t meet my expectations for typical Chinese takeout fare. I got the Cashew chicken and my wife had the Kung Pao chicken. Neither of us were impressed enough to order from them again.
Also, I called ahead for pick-​up and they said that it would be ready in 5 – 10 minutes, but when I showed up, they hadn’t started the food yet and I had to wait while they made it. They didn’t seem to be busy, so I’m not sure what happened.

amazing
they have a drive thru!!!

Chinatown Express is my go to sick food. You can dine in or drive thru. This is Americanized food, so don’t get all pissy that it’s not authentic. When I’m sick and don’t want to get everything and everyone around me germ-​y, I choose the drive thru. I’m not sure what it is about this place that makes me crave it when I’m sick, but it happens every time. I’m working my way through a cold and I didn’t feel like cooking so I decided to hit the drive thru and get some dinner. The portions are huge so you will have left overs for lunch the next day. Entrees come with fried rice. I usually order steamed rice rather than the fried. The sweet and sour chicken is a favorite and the sesame chicken is another go to for me. They offer hot braised chicken with or without the bone. Watch out for the spicy peppers, they’re hot! The eggs rolls are pretty good, but the crab rangoon are my favorite. They come two in an order.
There is nothing fancy about this place other than they have plants for sale in the dining area. Weird thing I noticed about this place — there are no women who work here, except for the owner. The service is quick and friendly. A funny thing about this location is that there are Mexican guys cooking the Chinese food and they even yell the order to them in Spanish. Pretty cool! Now that’s what I call team work!
Did I mention this place has a DRIVE THRU?! I really love that I don’t have to get my lazy butt out of the car to get my food. They also deliver.
