Chow Express

Ordered from here on a Yelp review recomendation.  I have had some recent frustration with our normal go-to Chinese food place.  Overall it was OK, nothing to write home about-but maybe a few notes on Yelp
I would not eat AT the store front.  It is next door to a cigar business, and yuou can smell it.The last thing I want to smell while I am eating is cigars. YUCK!!!
The Pheonix shrimp had a good spice level, but, as with most Chineses food store front locals, it was drown in sugary he eggroll and crab rangoon had an odd earthy flavor to it. The search continues...

The General Tso's chicken here is really good.  Super fast and friendly service. Definitely a great place to go for a tasty and speedy lunch or dinner.

Pretty good for a walk-up type of place.  They have most of the standards, but it's not a cookie-cutter identical kind of place. No back-lit pictures. Custom menu, not the red-green "standard". The dining area is tastefully decorated in an understated way. TV up on wall. Track lighting.  Serve-yourself plastic utensils/napkins. Order at counter. They will bring your food to you if you dine in. Self serve soda fountain. Dine in food served in foam to-go container.

One negative is that when you walk in, you can smell some of the fresh cigars/tobacco (UN-burnt, not smoke), from the cigar/tobacco store two doors down.  I stopped noticing it quickly, and it is not smoke, so it didn't bother me.  

The dine-in tables are a little bit too high, so they may be uncomfortable for some.
