Customer reviews present contrasting experiences at San Dong Express. One customer placed a pickup order consisting of two beef chow mein, one orange beef, and three egg rolls. While they noted that the service was fine and the food was ready promptly, they were extremely disappointed with the quality of the food. They described it as lacking flavor, having an unpleasant texture with a gelatinous consistency, and ultimately being inedible, leading them to discard the $53 order and decide not to return. They strongly advised others to try different restaurants.

Conversely, another customer, who lives over two hours away from Milwaukee, considers San Dong Express their "go to dining place" when visiting the city. This customer consistently finds the food to be "always excellent" and enjoys watching the cooks at work while ordering. They mention liking to try different dishes but usually order their favorite, twice cooked pork. They also typically order extra meals to take home, indicating a high level of satisfaction with the food.

The environment is partially described by the second reviewer who mentions it being "cool to see the cooks at work while ordering," suggesting an open kitchen or a visible cooking area. Service is mentioned by both reviewers, with one finding it "fine" for pickup and the other implicitly praising it through repeated patronage and enjoyment of the dine-in experience.
