“ This is my local Chinese food spot. I usually grab takeout for dinner when I'm craving Chinese. Two little tables for indoor seating for dine-in, but most people just take it to go anyways. The service is always super quick and the food most always tastes great! I got one of their lunch specials and it wasn't as good as their dinner options, but I'll still be coming back. ”
“ Love this place! I moved out here from California about 15 years ago and have NEVER been able to find a place that does west coast style sweet and sour pork/chicken. Chopstick Express does! Love ordering from here any time I get homesick. ”
“ I have been eating their food for years. Quality, quantity, and service is great. I was an advisor in RVN and ate on the economy for a large portion of my meals, so I feel qualified to offer an opinion on Asian cuisine. I looked at some of the negative comments and felt an "ugly American" vibe in some of them. In short, I recommend them without reservation. ”
“ I've been going here for years and it never disappoints. Extra crispy general tsos tofu is my go to! Fast service and always delicious. Don't sleep on this place. ”
“ I had been wanting to try this restaurant for years! I finally got around to it and I'm kicking myself for not having done it sooner. Tasty old school Chinese food, great portions and reasonable prices. We ordered the chicken fried rice (it was a buy one get one free) and General Tso's. Both were delicious! All the chicken was white meat and the General Tso's was not too sweet. I've been eyeing their chow mein and will be giving that a try next. Highly recommend it is you're looking for American style Chinese food. ”
“ I love this place I get it every time I am in town. The devils fried rice is amazing and they will make it with tofu. ”
“ The food was incredible it's funny to me that this place has been so close so long and I am just now trying it . The chicken fried rice was with white meat . When I called in I asked the lady for hot mustard and chilli oil she had no issue giving it to me and already had it in the bag . Most places charge or you have to remind . My hunan beef was beyond flavorful they're prices are amazing and you get a great amount . I'll be back soon to try more items forsure . ”
