" On my last visit to China Express, everything seemed off. The food was lukewarm and tasted not-so-fresh. They seemed to be having an off-day in the kitchen. Even something as simple as fried rice was lackluster. The service was friendly, but it felt as if I were being rushed to finish my meal. The cleanliness of the restaurant could also use some improvement. I truly hope this was just an isolated incident, as I'd love to return for the crab rangoons that everyone raves about. " (*Curated Review*)

" China Express has been a staple for me whenever I’m in the mall. The service is fast, and the servers are usually friendly. I’ve always enjoyed their sesame chicken, which is flavorful and a perfect blend of sweet and savory. The portions are generous enough to share or take home. Though the atmosphere can get a bit noisy, it’s still a great spot to satisfy those cravings! I consistently recommend this place to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've recently been trying different places for Chinese food, and China Express is a solid contender! I tried their orange chicken, and I really enjoyed the balance of flavors. My husband went for the spicy chicken, which he loved! The portions were huge, and it was a good value for what we paid. The only drawback was the atmosphere; it felt a bit busy and noisy, but it’s a good spot to drop by for lunch while out shopping. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first time visiting China Express, and I had a lovely experience. I was warmly greeted upon arrival and received excellent service throughout my visit. I opted for the sesame chicken combo, and it was satisfying and flavorful. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and feels very welcoming. The portion sizes were impressive! It left me full and happy, and the price was just right for what I got. I am looking forward to coming back to try their other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn't have the best experience at China Express. The food was okay but didn't wow me. I ordered the beef and broccoli, and while the broccoli was perfect, the beef was fatty and not very appealing. Service fell short as well; the staff seemed overwhelmed and inattentive. With how busy it can get, I would recommend making a reservation if possible. I won’t be rushing back anytime soon unless I hear of a change in quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was extremely friendly, and the food was, at the very least, satisfactory. I enjoyed the sweet and sour pork, which was freshly made, and I was impressed with the portion sizes. I wouldn’t necessarily label it as a definitive authentic Chinese dining experience; it caters more to an American take on it, but it’s enjoyable nonetheless. Ambiance was decent, though could be improved. All in all, a reliable choice for a quick bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" The bourbon chicken here is absolutely unmatched! Every trip I make to the mall, I make it a point to grab some. They serve large portions, and the service has always been friendly. I've tried a couple of their dishes, and while none have really disappointed me up until now, the bourbon chicken definitely steals the show. Don’t forget to try the crab rangoons! They’re the perfect crunchy complement to the meal. Overall, a fantastic place for a quick bite or to take home. " (*Curated Review*)
