I see this place is temporarily closed and I'm hoping it is permanent. Food is terrible and I have never been so sick with food poisoning in my life. It took 3 days before I even felt safe being any further than 20ft from a toilet. It was so bad that I almost went to the hospital to get an IV and the only time in my life that I thought death might be a good option. In the unfortunate event that this place reopens don't eat here if you if you don't want to feel like your colon is going to drop out of your body.

FaZe Rug said it was the worst rated restaurant in San Diego. It turned out good.

Was really hungry when got here. Businesses should be more friendly and socialable.

This place is GREAT!It's run by a wonderful couple who pay very close attention to their customers and will gladly fix or change anything that you don't like. They have GF and Veg options so we were very happy. We will be back.

Yesterday was our first time we came to that excellent restaurant. But It is surely not the last time. We had great time with the courteous service, with the great cooking and wine and with the decent payment. We will no doubt visit there again.

Was so hungry, but I regret ordering food from them. I ordered beef with broccoli, steamed rice with a side of veggies. The meat was too tough to chew and swallow and the side of veggies were old, overcooked slices of carrot,very unappetizing and tasted as they looked. So, for $11.50 I had some stir fry broccoli. I wonder how long the food sits in the kitchen after it's cooked?

Before leaving San Diego, I wanted an equivalent to Chinese mall food. They didn't have my usual General's Chicken, so I settled for Orange Chicken. The chicken were quite crispy and had a nice balance of orange sauce. It also came with broccoli and rice. On a side note, my coworker persisted that we share food (to all: I order what I want, you order what you want and live with it). She got Kung Pow chicken which had a similar combination. The difference is that the chicken had a brush of chili sauce on it, so it wasn't deadly spicy.
The staff was friendly but there food left a lot to be desired! The vegetables were under cooked and the chicken was tough and overcooked. Over priced, mediocre food!

How bad can Chow Mein possibly get? Simply inedible. Old sticky mushy noodles- I have never ever seen anything like it. I think the cashier suffers from dementia or severe sleep deprivation with poor cognitive function. So if you do eat here, be kind and patient. But here's a better idea- go get a burger.

Food is pretty bad here, even for airport food. Would definitely not return, plenty of other good options

If I could give this place 6 stars I would it was honestly amazing. This was the best Chinese style restaurant that I have ever eaten at and would eat there everyday if I didn’t live all the way in Beverly Hills. I ordered the orange chicken meal with rice and steamed vegetables, and allow me to tell you that it was a fine masterpiece of art work inside the container. The chicken was fried to bone dry crisp perfection with the finest orange sauce. The rice was steamed so soggy that it made my mouth water for me. Don’t even get me started on the carrots, you could tell the were freezer burned to my liking and had grey areas that allowed the mold to exfoliate in taste. If my personal chef could make broccoli as well as the chef at the Emerald Express then I would give him a 100$ raise right now for his exceptional work. Next time I come to the airport I am sure that I will fill up the tip jar with wads of hundos. During the flight I developed a stomach ache but later realized it was from the stage 3 Gastroesophageal Reflux disease that I was diagnosed with earlier in the trip. Overall the Emerald Express gave me an inspiring new look at life and recommend 10/10. Have a exquisite day.
