" Cantonese Express 2 is a gem! The food is undeniably delicious. My favorites are the fried rice and chicken teriyaki; they’re my go-to comfort foods. The prices are reasonable for the quality you get. Even though they don’t take cards, the experience is worth it. It's a lovely spot for family takeouts and serves as a little piece of home for many. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food is tasty, the service could use some work. My order was mistakenly given to someone else, which led to an extended wait. The chicken lo mein was good, but I felt the portions were a bit small for the price. I think I’ll return, but I’ll be sure to check my order before leaving next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" A wonderful local spot for Chinese food!! My husband and I love it. The service is always prompt, and we have never had a bad dish. Their egg foo young is to die for! We cannot recommend this enough. Every time we visit, it feels like a family gathering, where everyone is welcome. Don't let the building's looks fool you; the food speaks for itself! " (*Curated Review*)

" My overall experience was not the best. I expected more given the positive reviews. The egg foo young had an odd taste and I found it bland. The fried rice was pretty average, and I didn't feel like it was worth the price. I may be inclined to try their other dishes, but I was let down on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not bad overall, but I wasn't blown away. The egg foo young was decent, but I found the texture a bit off compared to other places I've tried. The fried rice, however, was quite nice and flavorful. Staff were pleasant but slow. Perhaps I should have ordered something else that might have better showcased their skills. I might consider giving it another shot if I’m in the area.

" 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*)
