Food is good, ordering a pain at drive through because the speaker/microphone is terrible.

Great drive thru Chinese food! I've been here several times and every time was delish. Prices are good and the portions are generous. The chicken was tender and properly cooked. The beef had good body to it and was well spiced. I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Be aware the food is cooked to order so it isn't quite as fast as that other chain-food place but the food is fresh, HOT and yummy even by the time you get home!

Husband had beef and broccoli entree. Beef looked very pale compared to other similar restaurants. I had sweet and sour pork and it was good. The sweet sauce had an odd color but was very good.

Under new owners - avoid! Nutshell we both felt sick afterwards. We hadn't eaten all day, we split an order of orange chicken. Broccoli was cold with ice crystals. Chicken was cold. We both developed diarrhea. Long wait for cold food - nope! We miss the former owners and their attention to quality.

The food was poorly prepared. They provided nocondiments. The Hunan Child is the worse i’ve tasted. I couldn’t eat it because it was mostly celery. St. louis has awesome chinese food this is the worse. How was it voted a favorite!!Go to China Express on Clayton Road across from the big mobile sign. Much better favor and value. GROSS

Used to go here many ears ago, but then stopped for whatever reason. Started going again about 2 months ago and I've been back weekly since. My meal has been excellent every time. The sweet and sour chicken is amazing. They definitely have one of the top egg rolls in the area, if not the best. Their hot and sour soup is also excellent - which I won't say about most places around here. I definitely recommend checking out Chinatown Express

This spot use to be the #1 place for crab rangoon! I have bragged about Chinatown Express for years to everyone...they literally used to have the BEST crab rangoon than any place that ive ever ever been too. They were the biggest and fullest ones and they used to drip on your chin lol. I went there last week with my mouth watering for some, as its been a couple years since I was able to have them, and boy was I let down big time! They are now small as ever and barely any flavor and too much of the wonton....I am sooo sad about this...I no longer can say this is the best crab rangoon ive ever had.....I hope they go back to there old recipe!!

First time eating here and it was great! The egg fried rice was very good and so was everything else. Compared to all of the other restaurants in the area, this is the best by far!

Do not order the sesame chicken. It is soggy and disgusting. Save your money and buy a frozen dinner that’s just as gross. The chow mein does not even have noodles in it and the chicken looks like it’s raw. As hungry as I was, I had to throw everything that I ordered away since all of it completely ruined my appetite. Very disappointed.
I’m in town for work from GA and love a good Chinese spot. This one is close to my hotel and had a drive-thru so I tried it out. I ordered pot stickers and lemon chicken with fried rice. The pot stickers were great as was the sauce that came with it... some of the best I’ve had. The lemon chicken and fried rice were lightly flavored, but not bad. I’m used to my Chinese food being drenched in sauce and oil, so this was an unexpected pleasantry. I can appreciate the freshness. I will definitely continue to order from this spot while in town.

Absolutely disgusting. All the vegetables in my entree were canned and just warmed up. I had no sauce on it. It wasn’t even cooked together. Over all disappointing.

I love a Chinese food drive thru. Especially one who is open late and on holidays. They've added a plastic shield to the window and they have always worn gloves and visibly changed them. I think its genius and probably the main reason they have become a staple of First Capitol for so many years because the food is fairly average. But I'd rather average Chinese food on X-Mas Eve at 9pm then none at all.

Fairly average and quick Chinese food.
