" I found this place highly recommended for good reason! The yolk is the best I ever had. Just the right balance of flavor and texture. I also enjoyed their sweet and sour chicken. Everything felt fresh and tasty. The place was clean, and the staff seemed great, very happy during our visit. Glad I discovered this local eatery; I will be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cantonese Express 2 is a decent option for takeout when I don’t want to cook. While the food is comforting, it often needs more seasoning in some dishes. The service is always quick, but orders can be a little hit or miss. I liked my sesame chicken; it was fresh and had a nice crunch. I’m willing to give it another shot to explore more menu options! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hesitant to try Cantonese Express 2 because of all the praise, but I found my first experience lackluster. The service was slow, and my order was mixed up. When I got my food, while it was hot, it didn’t pack the flavor I hoped for. The portions seemed skimpy for what I paid. I might return just to ensure I give it another chance and try a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Cantonese Express 2, I feel like I’m back in my grandma's kitchen! Their lo mein and fried rice remind me of the traditional recipes that take me back to my childhood. The portion sizes are generous, and I often find myself bringing leftovers home. Although it can get busy, the staff handles it exceptionally well, ensuring your meal arrives hot and fresh. This is my favorite after a long day! " (*Curated Review*)

If you want a tasty meal, you need to check this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a wonderful meal at Cantonese Express 2! The shrimp fried rice was incredibly flavorful, and the egg foo young melted in my mouth. I’ve been searching for a place that gets the flavors right, and this is it! The atmosphere feels authentic too, being away from the typical fast food setting. Plus, the staff were so friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to come back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I grew up on traditional Chinese food, and I was delighted to find Cantonese Express 2! The yock is incredible; it has that nostalgic taste that brings me back to my childhood. The portion sizes are generous, allowing me to savor every bite. The ambiance isn’t fancy, but it feels charming, like home. Overall, a fantastic place for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)
