So, this isn't a restaurant that one would typically dine at, but ordering for carry out or delivery is highly recommended. If you're craving really good Chinese food and you can't wait, this is the best place in our area to get the food fast! A lot of restaurants in the area could learn a lesson. The "Express" in their name is not to be taken lightly! And the food is REALLY GOOD!

We’ve been looking for a Chinese takeout place, and this place was great! We ordered the chicken lomein, sesame chicken, crispy beef, and general tso. All were great. The only “negative” comment I have is that it was a bit pricey for Chinese takeout. But, we’d order again!

I usually get my order to go so I can't really say anything about atmosphere other than everyone is extremely kind, efficient, and fast.

I needed catering quickly for about 20 people. The prices were great, and they were able to take my order with just one day notice. I ordered chicken fried rice, vegetable lo mein, chicken and vegetables, beef and broccoli, sauteed eggplant dish, and sweet and sour chicken. The portions are very generous! We had a lot of food left over even after everyone took some home. No complaints from our guests. Everyone liked it, and several were surprised at how cost friendly their party sizes were. We ended up spending about 300 w/ tip. A lot of my guests liked the eggplant dish. I highly recommend this place if you're like me and are in a pinch and need party trays fast. However, seeing how guests liked the food, I will definitely be coming back.

I ordered the gen massage chicken lunch special with the wonton soup and spring roll. I have had Chinese food for all up and down the East Coast and this is by far at the top of the list.

The food is good.. there is "no atmosphere" at this simple mom-and pop restaurant. The prices continue to go up - while "on line order and delivery fees are ridiculous - which has cause my family to also to go to other restaurants.

Vegan options with the mock meats are so good. Even if we get delivery the food is always steaming hot. Our go-to in the area.

We get take out, always. It is PRICEY but the food is not overly oily like some chinese restaurant food is, and the meals seems fresh, good quality, and very flavorful with good spicing (and the food is always nice and stove hot). So maybe it's worth the extra ? We order from them regularly, so it appears we think so!
