The owner was very rude in the phone I still went after work. As you can see who wants giant size green peppers and onions and carrots. These were rubbery. The meat didn’t taste fresh the best thing was only the rice. I should have noticed he had no business for a Thursday evening when it’s busy and people are picking up food in their way to wherever. Don’t GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go to McDonald’s instead.

Cabbage was unwashed, so our two fried noodle dishes containing vegetables were sandy/gritty and inedible.

Great food at a very affordable price. Always great to support a local, family-owned restaurant!

My husband and I ended up at China Express because our usual place was closed for maintenance. When we walked in we were surprised to see that the place was less like a restaurant atmosphere and more like take out, though there were several small tables if you wanted to eat in. I told the man at the counter that we'd never been there before which didn't earn me a welcome, only a disinterested stare. I continued on and asked if I could have one Egg foo young as a side instead of a whole $11 meal. He walked away to the grill area and said "no". That's fine, it is only offered as a meal and I really wanted to try the egg foo young, so I decided to spend the extra money and figured I'd have leftovers for the next day. I asked if the chicken egg foo young had pieces of chicken in it or just egg ( may have been a dumb question but I legitimately didn't know). This, at least, won me some sort of reaction from the otherwise reaction less counter man. He gave me a look that made me feel stupid for even asking. " Of course it has pieces of chicken, it's chicken" he said scornfully. I went ahead and ordered the $11 egg foo young and General Tso chicken with lo mein. My husband had the same with the exception of having egg rolls instead of egg foo young and rice instead of lo mein. Our food arrived promptly despite the fact that he seemed to be the only person working there. He was running the cash register and the grill. The egg rolls were good. The General Tso's chicken and lo mein, not so much. Both it and the egg foo young were SWIMMING in soy sauce. My husband's food was same. The breaded chicken had no flavor or spice. The egg foo young could have been good had it not been drenched in soy sauce. I ended up throwing away my food after a few bites. It was so salty it honestly felt unhealthy to eat. Close to $50 wasted on this crappy food. I highly DO NOT recommend this establishment. Go to Number One China down the road some. Much better food there.

Went here for the first time and have to say it is definitely the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Prices are super reasonable and the portion sizes are so big, my dinner will also be my lunch tomorrow. Super kind man working the register and cooking. Food is made to order and was absolutely phenomenal. Support this local business!
I have tried Chinese food restaurants all over town. This restaurant has a consistent quality that is higher than the rest. The meat is consistently better and the vegetables are always fresh and crisp. His prices are very competitive and the service is consistent.One thing they could do better is provide a more welcoming atmosphere. It has a fast food atmosphere. This is fine, but I think his food could rise to a dinner service.

I have been a long time customer of Tom’s and there is a reason - the food is OUTSTANDING. It started with walking there for lunches as a single guy to now 20+ years later driving in to pickup food for the wife and kids. I have tried many other Chinese restaurants in the area and there just is no comparison. From the soups to main entrees. It’s now become generational to where my college aged child now requests it.

These are my boys!!! Chopping up that fire chicken and pork! Kung pow!!! Sweet n Sour!! Pork roll ?
The food was not too bad the front desk service was not too bad but there was an old guy he was working hard I even thought about tipping him but before leaving the place he was extremly rude he also said a racial slurr in chinese to us.

We keep going back. And the food is still great as is the owner. Went for lunch and got the Tuesday special of the Sesame Chicken.

Terrible quality of chicken and crab rangoons, practically empty. For such an anticipated cheat day, this was a huge disappointment.

Went to the bank, and as I was leaving, I noticed the Chinese restaurant next door in a little strip center with 2 other businesses. I recognize this place from someone I follow on Instagram, but they never showed the name, but just the outside structure. I knew this was the place. It's hard to find good Chinese food in Indiana. I need to stop comparing the food to where I used to live in California. I went inside and it's 2 brothers I think that own the place. The one doesn't speak English at all. I mean, he understands if you ask about wonton soup, but he can't explain what's in it. The brother came in and spoke a little more English. They still followed very much when we were in full swing of covid. There is a counter between the cash register and you. They have a bucket to put your receipt in. They have the card reader by the bucket and have a big tray to pass back and forth if you pay cash. A few people came in, obviously, were regulars. They ordered, and the owners knew them, and they left, and I am still figuring out what to order. I ended up ordering egg foo young combo, which has chicken, shrimp, and beef, sweet and sour pork, beef with broccoli, 2 egg rolls, and chicken lo mein. They make everything fresh and to order. You can see them cooking your meal. After they finished, the guy offered to help me with the box to the car. It was a big box. He was so nice he explained everything. The sauce for the egg foo young and the sweet and sour pork was put in a separate container so it didn't get soggy. That was very, very nice and made sense. I got home which it was raining and cold. It had taken almost an hour to get home. I was so hungry, and everything smelled so good. I had to warm everything up, which was fine. I was expecting that. The beef with broccoli has mushroom and water chestnuts different, but really good, and the beef was tender, not chewy. The egg rolls were stuffed, and the sauce was so unique it was like an orange marmalade, which was different, but it really went well together. The egg foo young I wish was a little crunchy. When i warmed it, I even did the toaster oven on reheat was a little soggy, but that could have been from the container and the long drive home. Sweet and sour pork did well warmed in the toaster oven on reheat. I didn't try the noodles. I was so full. My other half said they were great. I will definitely be back since I am in the area once a week. I am not sure if you can eat inside. There are 6 tables to eat on if they allow it, which I am not sure. No one was eating inside when I was there, and everyone got it to go when I was there. I spent $51.00 and change. I left a $5.00 tip in the bucket. There were lots of leftovers, and the portions are big.
