I was looking for a place that sold chicken wonton soup and shrimp wonton soup and found this place on Google. I ordered for pickup and it was ready as soon as I got there. The flavor is spot on and delicious. Nice and hot to touch so it's perfect by the time you get home. This will be my new wonton soup place!

Food was “eh.” Food was dry. Lady serving the food was rushed to serve us. Wanted to stay and eat but the restaurant felt unwelcoming.

The short fat lady behind the counter is so rude if you get to go boxes on the chicken option’s because they have to cook more when running out

Nine dollars for that they don’t give you no more like they used to. They got very cheap. The noodles are dried out and there is hardly any chicken or pork in the fried rice will not be going there again.

It's very nostalgic to eat at this place. I remember eating here when I was a kid in the 90's. I was craving express Chinese food (that wasn't Panda) and I remembered this place! I went a little crazy and bought 1 large chow mein, 1 large orange chicken, 1 large sweet and sour pork, 2 orders of hot and sour soup, 1 medium special spicy chicken, 1 large broccoli and beef, 7 egg rolls, and 1 large steamed rice. I went after the lunch rush so the food in the display looked half full. They asked if I could wait so that they could cook fresh orders and so of course I said yes! I waited only 10 minutes and it was definitely worth waiting. They put all my take out boxes into a box that was easy to carry to my car. I know this place is older than other restaurants but attention to cleanliness might spruce up the place. There's a lot of dust behind the POS cash register and considering it's a food service environment, things like dust shouldn't be allowed to accumulate. I'll be back though!

This place is hit or miss with the quality and most the time, combo plates have very little portions. Place sucks now. Go somewhere else. Asia Express in Newark is 100 times better.

This used to be the go-to spot for yummy Chinese food back in the day. I went there recently and food is not that good anymore. Prices are pretty high and portions are small.

This place has declined so so much. I used to love coming here. Food used to be fresh. Service used to be good. I came in today and witnessed one of the ladies scooping food walk over to the cash register, empty the tip jar, count the tip jar, and then walk back over and start serving food again. I said, "Excuse me, why are you using the same gloves to scoop the food as you did to handle the money?" The lady serving food next to her says, "Oh, she's not touching the food." I said, "But she's touching the utensils that are touching the food!" They start speaking to one another and disregarded what I said without further responseI did not eat my food and will not be returning. I will be contacting the Health Dept.

Terrible taste. It’s not worth eating at this place IMO. The chicken and peanuts used in the dish were very stale.

As previous reviews suggest. I've been a loyal customer for years despite the low quality food and raised prices. I still continued to support the restaurant that has kept me fed throughout my years growing up till now. But as of Friday 9/30/2022 I refuse to support this place anymore. That Friday I ordered as usual and they had a new lady who doesn't know my order. That's fine, but i usually get a large ice water which is the same water they give you in the small cup, I just pay extra for the large cup. Now for years it's been always 50 cents for the cup. And I told that to the new lady. She then double checked with the people in the kitchen and one of the other lady's comes out and tells me it's $1. I had told her it's always been 50 cents, she then tells me she has always been charging me $1 for the large water and it's been that way for years. That's what set me off. I've been coming around this place longer then she's been working here and she stood there lying to me telling me it's been $1 for years. Now I understand if they recently changed the prices (which they recently did in this past year for the food) but don't stand there and lie to me and say it's been that way for "years" when it definitely hasn't. She then offers me a "discount" for the 50 cent price, but told me that next time it's gonna be a dollar. I then was talking to my friend out loud about the price and the fact that it's just sink water they serve to me (which by the way, whenever they have a rude customer, they always talk crap in their language after they serve them, I've seen it for years (no seriously). Anyways I was talking to my friend and the new lady starts jumping into my conversation, and I go a bit back and forth with her. And from there I was gonna drop it. But these 2 older guys behind us ordering food who don't know that I'm a repeat customer and don't know what kind of BS there pulling on me says out loud "charge me the dollar, I don't care" basically taking their side. I then left and was yelling back at them. But left my friend inside, he told me the lady's threatened to ban us from the restaurant after that. And what I have to say about that is go ahead, they're the ones that are gonna hurt from us not coming there anymore. You think normal people would go to your restaurant more then once? I can't tell y'all how many times there's been hair in my food, but I just picked it out and continued to eat with no complaints, how many times the food was cold, but still ate it with no complaints. Even how many times I saw "black stuff " floating in the ice water they gave me (which is why I finally said something when they said there charging me $1 for it and I'm the bad guy) until now, never said anything. So Asia Express it was a good 15 year run, but I refuse to support and to spend another penny at your place anymore because of how the way you treated me....a loyal customer. By the way the water they serve you is water from the sink that's there. I saw the lady one time fill the pitcher up with water from the sink. Yep I've been drinking sink water and never complained either. I've seen it all from this place.... So please don't eat here. There's plenty of other, better Chinese restaurants in the area that are 2 times better then this place.
