so good, fast service, doesnt sacrifice the quality and offers delivery. WOW!
They really stretch the definition of express!
Ordered beef chow noodles ($18) and 4 pork pot stickers ($8.50) in the restaurant and it took me nearly 20 mins to get my order even though I was the only customer there.
Food was alright- on the pricier side than what I expected, but I would’ve forgiven it if it was a faster experience. Probably would’ve had better luck ordering through DoorDash
