About China Express

China Express is a Chinese restaurant located at 807 Eagle Ridge Dr, Lake Wales, FL 33859, USA. They can be contacted at (863) 455-0303 or +1 863-455-0303.

According to recent customer reviews, China Express is experiencing a resurgence in quality under new ownership, effectively maintaining the beloved original recipes. Customers who remember the restaurant from their past have noted that the taste is consistent with their positive memories. The noodles are described as being slightly al dente, and the rice and egg rolls are well-received.

A significant highlight is the General Tso's Chicken, which is praised for being moist, tender, and authentically spicy-sweet, unlike many other establishments that tend to make it overly sweet. One enthusiastic customer declared it the best in the area for this dish and expressed their intention to return frequently.

Further reviews commend the excellent fried rice and sweet and sour chicken. The service provided by staff members, particularly Sarah, is noted for its genuine positivity and friendliness. The chef also reportedly interacts with customers to ensure satisfaction with the food, especially the spice level of dishes like the General Tso's Chicken.

While one review mentioned that the lo-mein was sweeter and less fresh than the rice, and the orange chicken had a somewhat unexpected barbecue-like flavor (though still considered good), the fresh and warm rice and the generous portion sizes for the price were appreciated. The cleanliness of the tables in the food court where the restaurant is located was also noted positively.

Overall, China Express in Lake Wales is highly recommended for its authentic Chinese flavors, particularly the General Tso's Chicken, as well as its friendly and attentive service. It appears to be a top choice in the local area for those seeking genuine and well-prepared Chinese cuisine in a clean environment.

The food is really good here again! I am very impressed with the new ownership and my last two visits here! It always was wonderful growing up, and the new ownership really stuck to the old recipes here like they told me they were! They kept their word at that, big win! and I can tell-because this is just like I remember it growing up! Great noodles, rice, and egg rolls! Aa-and! best of all for me, and anyone who really likes General Tso's Chicken, the chicken is moist and tender and actually spicy like it's supposed to be! General Tso's is supposed to be a-spicy sweet dish! Unlike most places in this food genre now-a-days that only make it sweet, China Express here in Lake Wales, does it right! The noodles are even a bit al dente! Rather than a mushy or an overly soft noodle! Thanks so much China Express for the best in the genre around this area at the moment! I will definitely be coming back every chance I can get for this chicken! ❤️ Updated note: the fried rice is excellent! As well as the sweet and sour chicken! I am still working my way through the menu! If I find anything else noteworthy I will update the review as I go, but by far the service from Sarah has been really excellent! It's nice to have the best food in the mall with the best genuine positivity, smile, and Godliness to boot! The chef also touched base and made sure I loved the chicken and that it was spicy enough! I'd say this is the best in this genre for food in Lake Wales in general! You can tell they love what they do and put love into the food and service! Kudos-!!

The lo-mein was "sweeter" than expected and was not as fresh as the rice. The orange chicken didnt taste like orange chicken almost like a bbq flavor but it was still good! The rice was really good fresh and warm. The price was cheap for the pourtion that was given. The cashier/server was really nice and freindly! The tables in the food court were also very very clean.

THIS IS THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER SEEN. We were in the line for 15minutes TWO PERSON WAS FRONT OF US. The cashier lady is unbelievable slow and just rude. Joking around, talking, stalling on purpose! I just went and got a gyro and two pizza slices. I was done and the person before me at this place didn’t even get his stuff.

I'm writing this review as I'm eating the food. Lo- mein is actually spaghetti in soy sauce- unbelievable. Mixed veggies seriously not even blanched, probably just dumped into the pan. Sesame chicken are breaded pieces of breading- no meat. I'm eating because I'm hungry and because I paid for it. But good Lord this is unbelievable. I see a kid not even a teenager at the register and a young lady serving the food. Not even gonna complain because I don't see any grown ups. I'm laughing at my self because it makes me think of a lemonade stand type of situation. I hope this is only once in a lifetime type of situation. I never ate here before and I never probably will ever again. I'm still laughing lol. Yeah let's sell spaghetti as lo- mein, how would they know, they will never know. Lol

Food was absolutely the worst Chinese food we’ve ever had. Fried rice was uncooked and meats tasted terrible.
