Pretty fine when you’re craving American Chinese food in Southside. I mean, prices are great BUT use cash to avoid that pesky card fee!! Taste wise, the noodles could use more flavor.

Family run restaurant, with Panda Express recently opened nearby it's nice to support a local Family restaurant. They have more time to chat between ordering food. It's the typical Chinese-American food you'd find elsewhere but it's the bonus of helping small businesses. The food is fresh, they're happy to give you a bit more, and you get to hear the Campus, Telegraph without being engulfed directly on Telegraph, the ambience of hearing people, cars casually cut through.

This place gives you a great amount of food for the price! I loved their beef and broccoli, egg rolls, and fried rice. The orange chicken was decent but a little too squishy for me personally. They were fast, friendly, and everything was correct.

Small dinner - on grubhub . No beef in Mongolian beef. The orange chicken tasted fishy and rubbery. The chow mein (broken noodles ) and fried rice really greasy. Couldn’t even finish the food. Got really sick. Maybe this was a bad day but we experienced it.

I ordered War Won Ton soup a week ago.The soup came out and it was fairly tasty.Only there were no won tons! I notified the lady cashier. She said it would take 10 more minutes for the Won Tons to arrive. I told her not having won tons in won ton soup was unheard of.Definitely a first. So I waited and proceeded to finish the soup.Then the Monday after the World Cup Soccer final I ordered fried rice and one item(fish).The total was $9.10 and I gave her $20.10.I expected $11 back, but she only gave me $1.She acknowledged that I gave her a 20 and she gave me the correct change.She exhibits fairly polite mannerisms and mingles with students, but I am starting to realize that it is a superficial facade.They are not terrible people who work there, but at the same time they are just not to be trusted.

In a place that compromises on its physical space, you expect perhaps as a course of nature that it compromises on other aspects of quality. This is demonstrably and certainly not the case. Their proteins are genuinely delicious: well-seasoned, flavorful, and palpably fresh. On God's bones, they have pork that doesn't smell! I find that even sit-down, mid-range restaurants sell poorly stored meat. And to top it off, the prices are beyond reasonable. It's so cheap that I actually feel miserly when I pay for the food. The only downside to this place is the carbohydrates; the fried rice and the lo mein are bland. Nevertheless, at this price point this shop is an absolute gem.
. I expected to get a good portion as the comments said but when I opened it there was only meat on one half. And the chow mein had no flavor aswell. The sesame chicken has a pretty good flavor to me but the meat was very very chewy. Picture below is how I got it. Not worth the price

Even thought the meat was a little overcooked, the food was very tasty. Great portion size. Employee up front was quick to help and very friendly.

Great spot, glad I found it. If you're looking for something luxurious or authentic turn around. This hits the spot for me though, reminds me of living in NYC and getting those sesame chicken or beef w. broccoli cravings. Lady at the counter is always super nice and thankful. Go support your local business.

Fast and affordable Chinese food. For the price you pay, I think it's a great deal. Lots of options and generous portions. The people leaving negative reviews are clearly expecting champagne on a beer budget.

There are many so-called authentic Chinese places near the campus, and this is one of the few that isn’t. But does it matter? Chinese Express offers many quality entrees at affordable price, unlike some other overpriced restaurants nearby.
