Fried Rice Express: Reviews & Ratings
Very sweet people. Definitely one of those neighborhood shops that everyone loves. I finally found a nice spot to grab my orange chicken!
Not located in the greatest area, but I wanted to try this place from reading all the good reviews. I got combo B & C. The chow mein and fried rice were not bad-- I think it tastes better with the soy sauce added. We got bbq pork, fried chicken, orange chicken, kung pao chicken, and shaken beef. Bbq pork and kung pao chicken was a little bit dry for me. I'm a little more surprised that they had shaken beef here as I've never seen it anywhere else. The business is clean, and the lady preparing my food was really nice. I really don't have many negative things to say about this place.
My favorite is the spicy chicken every time I go the food is super fresh. The portions are great and the service is top tier. The location is super clean. I love how everything taste so good the orange chicken is crispy and the tangerine chicken is sweet the teriyaki is sweet and savory. Overall 10/10 love this place so much
Excellent Chinese fast food. Always fresh, very nice people that work there. Big portions in there combo plates
Great service and the ambiance was clean and welcoming. The food was tasty and the servings were huge. Fast food Chinese food was great. I got the orange chicken and tangerine chicken.
The food here is pretty good and the service is awesome. The lady behind the counter was quick efficient and so friendly and sweet. I can see why they're busy. I'm glad I discovered this little spot for a quick and easy meal.
2/24/22 Been a looonnngg time since hubby & I stopped by to eat/order from this place. It's literally years. But guess what?! Cathy remembered my name right off the bat. Now I totally appreciate this place just for that! Normally I would rate it a 3 but it's deserves an extra star for her great customer service. She doesn't skip a beat, making great conversation as she starts working on my order. It is conveniently located in front of LAC-USC Medical center in a tiny plaza a few doors down from Yumyum donuts. Small parking lot but we usually get a spot when we visit. For a 3 item combo it's $9.50, had my choice of chow mein (and/or half steamed rice or fried rice) & the usual suspects, beef broccoli, orange chicken & chicken with zucchini & mushrooms. She doesn't skimp so unless you're really famished maybe you can finish it off--highly unlikely. It all tasted great especially the orange chicken (tangy, not to sweet & a little crunchy the way i prefer) & the broccoli is still fresh & vibrantly green & crisp. She ran out of soup but I told it was alright, although she apologized for not having anymore. It was about sn hour to closing anyway. The place is showing its age, wear & tear but it's neat & clean. Will be back when craving these dishes & when I'm too lazy to bring lunch from home (or too tired to cook after my shift) Thanks Cathy! You're the BEST!
