" Corner Express is a pleasant surprise within the bustling area! The self-serve system is a fun approach, letting you enjoy a variety of authentic dishes. Just be careful about timing—make sure to go when they’re busy to ensure the food stays hot and fresh. During my first visit, I experienced a really tasty teriyaki chicken that paired wonderfully with the steamed broccoli. If you're not afraid to serve yourself, you will definitely enjoy your experience. The prices are incredibly fair for the quality. I will gladly return next time I’m in the area! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Corner Express and I have mixed feelings. The self-serve style meant I could try a little bit of everything, which I loved. The broccoli was fresh and vibrant, but some of the chicken dishes were underwhelming—they lacked seasoning, making them feel somewhat bland. The concept is excellent, especially for those who want variety without overcommitting to a single dish. The staff was alright, but I waited a while for my drink. The prices were reasonable, and I ended up with a sizable meal without spending too much. If you're looking for a casual meal that won't empty your wallet, give it a try! Overall, I'd rate it around 3 stars but I’d return to try their boba. ⭐⭐⭐ " (*Curated Review*)

" I typically am not a fan of buffet-style dining, but Corner Express surprised me with its concept. It was refreshing being able to select exactly what I wanted. The orange chicken was decent but could have been better seasoned. The boba tea was delightful and very refreshing! The relaxing atmosphere made it an enjoyable experience, and the staff were friendly although sparse at times. If you’re in the neighborhood, you should give it a shot! ⭐⭐⭐ " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a fan of Chinese cuisine, I had high hopes for Corner Express. Overall, my experience was a mixed bag. I appreciated the self-serve aspect, as it allowed me to sample multiple items. However, I was disappointed with the flavor across some of the dishes I tried. The chicken wasn’t as tender as I would’ve liked, and the fried rice lacked that robust flavor that usually makes it a star at other restaurants. The staff were friendly but could improve on promptness. Although the atmosphere felt a bit dull, it was relatively clean. I might give it another shot, but only if I’m in the area. ⭐⭐⭐ " (*Curated Review*)

" I had done some preliminary research on this place before my visit, and I was curious about the self-serve concept. I must say, it's a good idea that works well in terms of getting food quickly and allowing people to try various items. I found the orange chicken a bit dry compared to what I was expecting. However, the boba tea was exceptional; I could tell they put effort into crafting that drink right! I didn’t feel the environment was anything extraordinary, but I appreciate the cleanliness and decor. Parking can be a bit tricky, so I advise getting there early. I would suggest this to anyone looking for a quick, affordable meal. ⭐⭐⭐ " (*Curated Review*)

" Corner Express is a gem! I appreciate that it's a self-serve style restaurant because I can load up on as much of my favorite items as I want without feeling guilty about the price. I loaded my plate with orange chicken, beef with broccoli, and dumplings and still paid under $20 for two meals. Everything was hot and fresh, and I even treated myself to some milk tea. I found the restaurant to be clean and the staff friendly, albeit busy. They were quick to restock the food as it ran low. If you're looking for a meal that’s both satisfying and affordable, you can't go wrong here. This place is going to be a regular stop for me now! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise Corner Express turned out to be! Upon entering, I was immediately drawn in by the vibrant colors and inviting atmosphere. The self-serve concept is quite novel, allowing me to create my own perfect plate by selecting my favorite dishes from a vast array of options. The orange chicken was exceptional—crispy and packed with flavor, while the garlic green beans were fresh and tasty. I also enjoyed the taro boba tea, which was one of the best I've had! For the price, it's hard to beat, and if you’re looking for a buffet-style meal without breaking the bank, this is the place to go. I wholeheartedly recommend Corner Express to anyone in the East LA area. I will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ " (*Curated Review*)
