Great place for Chinese takeout with solid lunch special options! If you order from their website their prices are better (vs. DoorDash and I assume other delivery apps) and you get deals if you spend a certain amount. I got the General Tso & Orange Chicken lunch specials, vegetable lo mein and crab rangoons and got a pint of General Tso chicken as a freebie! They didn’t skimp and the lo mein (I got the small) was absolutely packed. The delivery was on time and they were very nice, 10/10 option in the area!
The five stars are for China Express. I ordeder, via Menufy, a Egg Roll, a Shanghai Spring Roll, and Vegetarian Chicken with Cashew nuts with Lo Mein.
The food, when it got to me, was hot and tasty. The problem was the food was delivered about a half-an-hour after the ETA. So it took more than an hour from when the order was placed til when it was delivered to my door. And they are only about 15 minutes via car from me.
And calling Menufy just gets you the answer, "It's on its way," before you even give them the order number or anything. Maybe they figured it out via my phone number?
So the restaurant seems great but next time I order delivery from them, if I order delivery again from them, I am using a different service.
One of the best Chinese food I have ever had. While standing onsite to give my order for takeout, the lady who work on cashier received minimum 5 to 6 calls for delivery order which made me feel I’m standing in a very popular Chinese restaurant in the town. Though they were so busy with multiple orders it took only ten minutes to have my foods ready. Awesome service. I ordered Veggie Chicken Broccoli, egg drop soup, and chicken fried rice which were so delicious and fresh. Yummy!!
Wonderful little Chinese food place.
Super friendly counter staff, quickly-cooked delicious food in good quantity. Price is about right (not the absolutely cheapest, but again - you get quantity too, so yeah, a good deal).
Awesome place to grab, especially as an out-of-town visitor who's just staying at the hotel ~1.5 minute walk away, who's looking for something quick to fill my family's stomach.
I order from this place quite frequently as the place across from my apartment has wonderful rice and calamari but virtually nothing else. Everything has been rock solid; the only gripe I've had was that sauce would get all over the bag and sometimes my table. They took steps to remedy that (which I hope they'll continue to do going forward) and I can't say I have any complaints. Very reliable and consistently good Chinese food that reminds me of where I used to go in grad school.
I feel like this is one of Arlington's best kept secrets.
Food: 5
The food is FANTASTIC! And it's almost all gluten-free, including their orange chicken and soy sauce! (though they do have wheat in some things, so super allergic people should still be careful)
Price: 5
The prices might look high to some people ($12 after taxes for one entree), until you realize one entree is enough to leave you full for at least two meals.
Service: 4.5
I've only ever worked with the lady who owns the store, but she's super nice. The only potential problem is she's actually from China, so her accent might be hard for people to understand if they're not good at understanding different accents than their own. It's not a super heavy accent, though.
Atmosphere: n/a
It's more of a takeout restaurant than a sit-down restaurant, so atmosphere isn't really a thing. However, if you do want to eat there, they do have two small tables you can eat at and they'll wait on you.
