1 review for Chinese Express
This place is definitely interesting. I ordered for pickup and as soon as I arrived they were really anticipating my arrival because the manager facetiously commented, "You're late by one minute!" Now that was funny (at least to me). You typically don't expect humor from a rush order Chinese restaurant in the middle of the lunch hour. I really liked that. (It's the little things that matter to me) :-)
This restaurant is your typical strip mall 1500 square foot store front, so it's not very big. I found it interesting that each order that was placed was repeated through a loud PA system into the kitchen which was 4 feet away from the order taker. It was quite a scene. You could practically hear every order outside in the parking lot - it was that loud!
In addition, I really appreciated their uniforms. Each employee had an Ohio State Buckeye baseball cap on with matching shirts. I wasn't sure what the occasion was except that it was the last day of 2008. I guess they were getting ready for the big Fiesta Bowl game against Texas? GO BUCKS!
Finally, the food. Not bad. Not great either, but altogether not bad at all. I especially appreciated the Hot & Sour Soup. It was the most unique recipe that I'd ever tasted. The consistency reminded me of Snapper Soup - nice and thick. It wasn't terribly spicy, but it was good. The lunch portion of my chicken and broccoli was a bit smaller than I expected, but my waste line could use the break anyway - very tasty, but not any better than the other local Chinese restaurants.
It's worth the visit if you're into the Buckeyes, loud PA systems and humorous servers. You won't wait long for this Asian fare, so if you're in a hurry, this is the place to go.
