Reviews for China Express in Charlottesville, VA
Hit or miss, food quality depends on the day. I love Bourbon Chicken and a lot of times it will be moist and flavorful but... there are some days the pieces of chicken are dried out. The rice is awful, always, I think they just use a bad pre-made brand. My husband gets the General Tso s and uaually likes it, says it has good flavor. Read more
I liked the portions and the food, but it wasn't as spicy as I would have liked. But the food was good though.
Excellent value for the quality. If you like szechuan peppercorns and can handle spicy, you’ll enjoy it. They do eggplant and... lamb particularly well. Very extensive menu! Read more
Perhaps I am the only one surprised, but be warned that this is a mall, express sort of chinese restaurant where the food is... pre-prepared and keep in warming trays. The quality wasn't awful, but it was exactly what you would expect. I will say I did getthe vegetable lo mein, so perhaps their meat is better, but the vegetables were miserably plain and unseasoned, the lo meinhaving a descent texture but not the best flavor. TLDR: come here for a quick bite, if you don't care about quality. Read more
The staff was extremely rude, i got a big box filled with food and asked for tofu, the tofu was disgusting and hard. I went back... there asking for more noodles because the tofu wasn’t good and she threw away the box filled with uneaten vegetables and friedrice and gave me a small box of noodles, terrible service. waste of $15. don’t recommend Read more
Every once in a while you run into a staff member having a bad day, but it's not often. The food is good and it's the only local... place to get bourbon chicken on the go that I know of. (If you know another place, please inform me!!!) The portion sizes arelarge and great for the prices. Read more
Place is very clean and well kept up. Service is friendly. They have 6 main entrees avaliable and your choice of rice or noodles... . They also have a menu hanging on the wall to choose other options if you do not care for the ones on the hot bar. I think thehighest price item is 7.99. The main menu option you can choose 1 to 3 main entrees with your choice of rice or noodles. Theyhave fountain drinks along with bottled drinks (soad, water, sports drink and juice.) I enjoy going here for a quick meal and90% of the time food is very fresh and made quuckley. They tend to make up small batches of food at a time so it's turned overquickly. Read more
