This is pretty legit. The noodles lacked vegetables but the flavor was still great. The fact that they gave a drive thru is crazy and I wish this was a thing in more places. Fantastic idea. Paid about 8 dollars and waited just about 5 minutes to get a great portion of great food. Brilliant

Drive thru Chinese food, what a genius idea! The Lo Mein is tender, orange chicken is juicy with crispy coating, beef teriyaki is perfectly seasoned and the Rangoon, oh man, the BEST Rangoon I ever had! The filling is just so creamy almost like melting People, please skip the line at Panda Express, come and give this place a try! (Excuse us for the half eaten photo, we were just devouring our delicious dinner)

No frills, big value, fast, and tasty Americanized Chinese food that is everything you want and nothing more at 2019 prices. Do not let the drive through window scare you away. Best place in the area for a fast hot meal

Outstanding restaurant. People who run this place are kind and cool and make some of the best beef teriyaki I’ve ever eaten. Not only that, but when I’m done eating I feel unusually good. I feel strong in my bones like I can climb peaks with the agility of an ibex. But I also feel totally at peace, like time is an ocean that suddenly stops and becomes a beautiful, cerulean mirror of the sky, and I’m dancing on that mirror with Chinaxpress’s orange chicken in my hands and I’m asking you please to join me in the dance. Please join me and dance on an ocean of sky and time and orange chicken, please my friend delight in this life we lead now, right now. Don’t let this world fool you with its myriad illusions of money and fame and propriety, your life is the most precious thing because it is yours and even the rarest gems in the earth pale in comparison to the beauty of your eyes. So dance, and in dancing see that holding onto life is a phantom hand grasping at smoke. 10/10 would hit the drive thru again.

Pros: This place has everything you need! Warm staff, Fresh hot food, and big portions and exceptional prices!! The set up is a display on various options of food presented on a heated wok, which are continuously exchanged and switched out for fresh food. Cons: drive through was not operational and not blocked off so some customers were sitting in front of the drive monitor, repeating the words of "hello?" . Conclusion: I was able to get a 3 entree 1 side meal for the total of 9.12 (tax included). Portions were large and the food was hot and decent, chicken and broccoli was well flavored and the broccoli was crunchy, orange chicken was crispy and sauce wasn't over wheezing and the pan fried dumpling seemed like it was made In house. For the prices that were presented the food quality was better than some restaurants that would charge double. Of course there are some things that this new restaurant needs to work on but this is all a learning process. Give credit where credit is earned. This establishment is doing a great job and the best that they can! Check them out!

(my rating is based on the fact it is drive thru/fast food business and not a sit down restaurant) Their options are simple and I love it! I get a 1# combo for both me and my husband and most the time it lasts us 2 meals. So it comes out to be 5 a meal for each! The lo mein isn't half vegetables that end up soaking up the oil and are floppy. I prefer the mostly noodle! Also their fried rice isn't typical "Chinese fried rice", and I love it! More flavorful and filling! (Too me at least, definitely not everyone's cup of tea) Just don't go expecting a super wide variety, it's drive thru! Ooo I wonder if they could eventually add chili oil packets or something for an option? Their entrance is at/near a light which is a pain, but worth it for me. Best drive thru place! I'll stop myself here.
