" I had dinner with my friends at China Express, hoping for a taste of good Chinese food but left disappointed. The fried rice tasted old and the chicken was tough. I hardly touched the food that night. We decided to tell the staff about our experience, but they just shrugged and continued their chatting. It seems like they don’t really care about food quality here. " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading both good and bad reviews, I was curious to visit China Express for myself. Unfortunately, my experience leaned more toward the negative side. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly, but they seemed overwhelmed. My chicken dish was bland and didn’t seem freshly made. I guess I was expecting more authenticity since it was about a well-established local spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high expectations after hearing about the sweet tea here, which I must admit was spectacular! The problem arose with the main meal. My chicken lo mein was lacking flavor, mostly bland. It seems like they skimped on the sauce, and the noodles were overcooked. The environment was decent, but income from the main dish was a total letdown. I may return for the tea, but that’s about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about how disappointing my last few meals have been! When I first started going to China Express, the flavors were bold and the menu filled with authentic Chinese cuisine. However, my latest dishes tasted stale and lifeless. It seems they have cut corners since the owner passed, which is a shame. Even the egg rolls weren’t crisp or fresh. I’ll be saying goodbye for good. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to a good Chinese meal, but China Express just didn't hit the mark. The egg fried rice tasted stale, and there was a total lack of seasoning. As for the sweet-and-sour chicken... simply disappointing! I wanted to walk away saying I couldn't wait to return, but now I'm left with a bad taste instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love eating here, but the last few visits have been disappointing. The chicken and broccoli was mostly just broth and a few small pieces of chicken. I didn't remember the dish looking so sad. The rice was dry and appeared old. The place has steadily gone downhill since the old owner passed away. It feels like they're just going through the motions now. Maybe it's time to give another place a try instead! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has frequented many Chinese restaurants, I found my visit to China Express quite disappointing. The staff was friendly and attentive, but that doesn’t make up for the bland fare. The chicken was dry, and the sauce was not at all tangy like it incorporates in a proper General Tso's chicken. I left feeling unsatisfied and probably won't be back. " (*Curated Review*)
