Came at 3pm and the food was so dry and stale..my kids said it wasn’t even “mid” they said they don’t want to eat from there ever again. So I had to try their food and it was so gross. Tossed the food. Took the loss and ordered something else from another Chinese food restaurant.

Food is always great. Good variety. Love their Kung Pao Chicken! Only place in San Diego I’ve found that actually makes it authentic by using Sichuan peppercorn oil. Mouth-numbing deliciousness.

This will be a new Go-To! It is a buffet, so there is a chance they will be low on your favorite item, but I found they were consistently restocking with fresh food. The employees worked quickly but were willing to answer all my questions. I am so pleased!

It was good enough Chinese food. I couldn't choose my lunch special and didn't have many of the choices that I wanted.

Why would anyone in their right mind spend money at Panda Express with this place so close by off Balboa? Please, why?!

Huge portions. Super friendly service. Great options.

Might not be the most fresh Chinese food, you should already know that. FCE is a must-visit for those looking for affordable Chinese fast food to take out.

Purchased the party tray and was not disappointed. Plenty of food to feed an army! Will be coming back.

Great food. Great service. They don't mess around. The containers barely close because they're so full. People seem to forget how to drive in the parking lot, so be careful. It's next to a chic fil a, so there are a lot of oversized emotional support vehicles.

A friend of mine got chicken wings from here and they were really good, so I gave the place a shot for dinner twice. The first time was disappointing, but I gave it a second chance - because every restaurant can have a bad night. But, boy do I regret it. The food itself does not look appetizing at all, breaded chicken used in dishes looks like tumors and the broccoli turns brown from being over cooked. Not even the fried rice is tasty, seems like a simple dish to not get right. Not to mention, my son ended up vomiting the night after we had dinner there. I'm sorry, this place is just not good at all.
