" Although the atmosphere was chaotic, it reminded me of the old-school Chinese restaurants in Chinatown. The food was quite reasonably priced, and I enjoyed the wonton soup. It tasted fresh and the dumplings had a nice bite, but it lacked a little seasoning. Service was quick, but a bit impersonal, which is understandable with how busy they were. Overall, a nice experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I walked in with high expectations based on the reviews and was somewhat underwhelmed. The service was friendly, but I felt the dumpling filling was bland, and the noodle dishes could use a bit more flavor. To be fair, the portions were generous, but the food didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Maybe I just ordered the wrong things. It's worth a try, but go in with less hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to place for Chinese food in DC! The handmade noodles have a great texture, and the duck is so tender. I can't resist ordering their fried rice as well. It brings all the flavors together perfectly. The only downside I would mention is the ambiance is a bit basic, but if you're here for the food, it shouldn't deter you. It's the quality that speaks volumes. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews about Chinatown Express, I finally decided to try it out. I wasn't disappointed! The pork lo mein was incredibly tasty, and the dumplings arrived steaming hot. Some might find the decor outdated, but the food more than makes up for it. The service was quick, and the prices were reasonable for the portions offered. A great spot for anyone craving authentic Chinese fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chinatown Express is a great little spot if you're craving basic Chinese food. I decided to try their egg rolls and was pleasantly surprised at how good they were! They arrived crispy and hot. The portion size was satisfying, and it was all very affordable. However, the interior could use a little cleaning up, as it looked a bit dated. But for the food, it's worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you, the duck here is legendary! Each time I refer friends, they end up loving it as well. The texture and taste are spot on, and the noodle soup was perfect for the rainy day. Sure, the ambiance isn't looking that great, but the food is what's important, right? The prices are excellent for what you get, and I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" The decor at Chinatown Express is quite casual, but that’s all part of its charm. The food, particularly the Peking duck, is what makes this place worth visiting. It's beautifully crispy and full of flavor. I also tried their vegetarian options, and they were fresh and tasty. Although I had to wait a while for my food, the friendly staff made up for it. Good place for a quick, comforting meal, especially if you're in a hurry. " (*Curated Review*)
