China Express

Wow what a bad place.  I ask for plain white rice & EXTRA hot pepper for Szechuan beef. I got  neither! The  rice was brown in  color I guess because of soy sauce. The portion was not very big. And no hot peppers to be seen.( I was VERY specific on hot pepper.) They were fast , nice english not so good.

NO soy sauce was given to go and the  hot sauce was a mexican pepper.( Cayenne.)

But being Florida I guess they will stay in business because the speeding,tailgating,yakking  on cell phones, Floridians who has no idea of GOOD Chinese food will stay in operation.

The first thing I have to say is that MSG is apparently a staple at this particular restuarant.  If you have issues -- like me -- be very careful.  Many of the items on the menu can be ordered without MSG, but all soup has MSG.  On our order:

Sweet and Sour Chicken
Wonton Soup
Boneless Spare Rib
House Fried Rice

There were three of us in the group that were eating.  I didn't touch the soup.  I tried one of the spare ribs and thought it was nothing special.  I didn't like the fried rice at all. That left the SS chicken with some white rice.  The sweet and sour sauce is one of those items that has MSG, so my meal mainly consisted of fried chicken nuggets and white rice.

So why the three stars?  I actually tasted the sweet and sour sauce a couple of times.  It is one of the better ones I have tasted in quite a while.  Oh well, I might not return due to this being MSG heaven, but I could definitely eat the sweet and sour chicken again.

All you can eat Chinese food. Just like in California. Just like in New York. Just like in Tulsa.

The basics: crab, shrimp, sushi, duck, ice cream, coconut cakes, chow mein, jello, ginger chicken, dim sum pork, BBQ beef, chinese chicken salad, it goes on and on.

I really like this place but everyone that I take here always says the same thing, It's good but only this one time. Maybe I''m different but the food is not the highest quality and I accept that for what it is. I'm not looking for Chef Chu's in Los Altos. It's bottom line Chinese food that is just the same as all of the other all you can eat Chinese restaurants. I don't mind that because I see it for what it is, inexpensive, filling and tasty. A-OK
