Hot curry, spicy beef, fried rice, out of this world delicious. Outstanding!
I find it odd that so many people have a lot of negative things to say about this place lol their food is delicious and it's the only one we go to. Their portions are huge so I don't know why someone said they have small portions, their food is really good, and their staff is friendly EVERY TIME. They don't speak fluent English SO WHAT, geez if you don't like the place go somewhere else
What the heck is with these bad reviews? It's not a gourmet place, nor is it authentic Chinese. But it's a delicious indulgence of Chinese American food. It's cheap and so good - just don't eat it everyday.
I love this place. I don’t know why they got small stars. The food is always fresh, The portion is big. I rather share one meal with someone.
Everytime I come here when I get the chance to,I always love their food.They always put time and effort into this place and the service is quite nice.I would recommend this place to anyone who likes chinese food.
Me and my husband's first time. Food looked fresh. Place was clean and the employees serving were kind. The food was fantastic!!!

Decent amount of food for the price, total was $25 for these two plates but they stacked it with food. The servers are also nice and it tastes pretty good! Nice quick food option

Good prices, good food. I usually grab a side order of the string beans with an order of veggie rolls. They have plenty to offer for sure. Heads up, they only accept cash, but an atm is inside the store.
I understand not taking credit cards, but debit cards should be ok.
So I went there for the first time a few days ago and what I will say is the staff was very friendly I don't like that they take cash only for some reason it wasn't taking my card and their ATM so I had to walk up the street to the bank so if you are going to go to this place make sure you have cash. I got a three item and I got spicy chicken and teriyaki chicken definitely will say that I like the teriyaki chicken rice and chow mein were kind of normal. What I will say about this food is make sure you eat it hot and fresh because this is not food that's good when it's cold or being warmed up the next day it leaves like a weird after tasting your mouth. I also got the pot stickers which they were good and I got chicken egg rolls which had a lot of vegetable and a little bit of chicken so if I do go back I probably won't get those again overall the food was pretty decent they give you a big portion and it was decently priced.
Chicken Gourmet Express is a simple Chinese Takeout Place, I think they're cash only. There's a variety of entree options and meal options (e.g "fried rice with 2 entrees", "white rice with 2 entrees", "chow mein and fried rice with 2 entrees", etc.) I've been a couple times when I was in the area, I'm not sure if I'd go out of my way to get there. For a Chinese takeout cafe (like a Panda Express) I'd say it's pretty good. I've mainly tried the battered chicken stuff and veggies, but the entrees seemed pretty fresh. Sign of the times, a fried rice and 2 entrees was $13.40 (including tax), but it was a lot of food. Not trying to biased against Panda Express because sometimes it gets the job done, I like this place for a quick and easy meal.

Me and my cousin actually went up there to order our food the woman that actually sure does have gloves. She refused to change her gloves. We asked her to put some new gloves on because she’s handling the money. I’ve been in restaurants before and I never seen somebody that never want to change your gloves because you’re handling cash if you’re handling Money that’s not clean. He’s supposed to change your gloves and wash your hands. She refuses Services and I always come there and go there. I never had a problem to check it out. I don’t recommend buying food not wearing gloves because it’s called bacteria and you don’t want bacteria in your food on your money and you’re still serving the food with the same gloves while you’re dealing with the money as well , you end up getting sick some gloves at this restaurant in Fruitville I gave it three stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
Check ur order before you pay. I got charged for a 4 item plate when i only got 3 items. Also, you can get any 3 items for $11.75 or you can order the items alacarte from the steam table for $3.25 each for the small size and those are portions similar to what they give u on the plate. Do the math, save some money. As for the taste/quality - it aint never goin to be the standard of health that you need. Clinically this food is harmful to your body especially when consuming this regularly. But the taste is good, they got the right portion of salt, msg and sugar to make it happen. The orange chicken is a no - no where near panda express orange crak chicken.
The food should be labeled so you don't have to keep asking what something is. This is a CASH ONLY! The service is rushed, but the food is good. You have to be really clear and loud when asking for no salt fried rice, because they gave us plain white rice.

I think this restaurant is poor. I stop by with my daughter cuz she was in mood for noodle and I want orange flavored chicken. Once we bite them, we didn't want to eat them anymore because of TOO SQUISHY FOODS. It's like these foods were in pan of water too long and no one stop by to eat them. I talked with a manager about these foods that need to be replaced with fresh. He said "Sometime people like to eat these foods and others don't like it. So be it." I said, "Orange flavored chicken is too squishy...." He interrupted me and said, "It is not orange. it's a lemon flavored chicken!" I don't think he didn't care what foods that bother us.
Nothing special, but it isn't bad if you're in a rush for Chinese Food. Like other fast foods, it's salty and not that fresh, but at least you can get a larger portion of vegetables - if you choose. Does not take credit cards. They charge you for a bag even though they're told a bag is not needed. Another negative, they do not allow dine-in. Pre pandemic, there was dine-in, but the endemic era, I don't understand why dine-in options are not available; they don't see to have any fewer staff now as compared to pre pandemic, so I've changed my 2 star review to 1 star because they don't take credit cards or allow dine-in, especially with similar style restaurants allow dine-in and use credit cards for payment.
Food was awful. First and last time I will EVER GO THERE! Potstickers had so much excess dough I don’t even think you would call it a potsticker! Just soggy and in no way tasty or crispy.
They have roaches and when I told them it was in the food they took it out and said it was something burnt then I said are you gonna tell me I didn’t see that then I said throw the food away but they didn’t smh would not recommend!!!
This place used to be so good. Total came up to $60 for 4 things, after being told they only do combos around lunch time. The food wasn't worth $60 if you ask me, especially when it tastes like it's been out all day not fresh at all. The sweet and sour chicken was dry and old. Food packed sloppily, the juice was falling out of the container to the bottom of the bag. I won't be back.
Wanted to try eating here, but husband saw a roach next to food so we left
