First Chinese Express offers tasty Chinese food at affordable prices. The shrimp fried rice is generously portioned with a good balance of flavors, and the orange chicken has a citrusy smell with a saucy coating. They also serve Kung Pao and Teriyaki dishes, along with a house fried rice option. Customers appreciate the free side of white rice and the consideration shown for potential allergies. While it may not be everyone's first choice, it is a convenient option for a quick, affordable meal. The family-owned restaurant is great to grab lunch or dinner, with fresh-made dishes and friendly, efficient service. The lunch special with Kung Pao tofu and fried rice is offered at a good price, and the staff make sure to check for food allergies. Though there is no seating inside, customers find the food flavorful and hot, and many plan to return for more. Overall, it’s a small restaurant supporting good food, fair prices, and attentive service.
