House Special Fried Rice- shrimp, chicken & beef. No bbq pork included.

Got the salt and peppered pork with pork chow mein! It was very good lots of flavor and was prepared quickly!

I ordered Mongolian beef thru door dash and this is what I received... I'm very disappointed..this is literally stir fry beef with onions.

I ordered eggplant with tofu and this is what I received.. this is not what I expected..

We paid China Express #1 a visit after a long while of not going. Why did we neglect visiting? I don't know! The food is still sensational! And the service is phenomenal! This is a family...

The food was very good. The service was kind of slow but well worth the wait. Will be returning soon.

The food was reasonably priced. Had a couple of lunch specials. The flavors were pretty good. Would go back. Service was adequate and ambiance was minimal but nice.

Best family owned Chinese spot. The lunch specials are unbelievable as they are very big, friend and I try to come here at least a few times a week

Not what I was expecting. I was expecting a stir fry eggplant and tofu and I received just fried tofu and eggplant. My Mongolian beef is literally beef and onions..
