It is fresh and great taste Chinese food that you really don't want to missed. I strongly recommended all menu and especially deep-fried spicy squid. You must try it! All staff are friendly and very quick. I love this place.

Terrible Chinese food.
The "vegetable egg rolls" are just a fried casing full of almost entirely bean sprouts. Not sure how that constitutes vegetables - as in, plural.
The (plain) fried rice had an extremely heavy scent of buttered popcorn - the kind from the cinema. Gross. The smell was so strong that it felt like I was eating a stick of butter in every spoonful. $10 for buttered-popcorn fried rice. Fantastic.
The Chinese broccoli was almost completely uncooked - it's obvious that it was in the pan just long enough to throw some sauce on it. There's a reason that Chinese broccoli doesn't go in salads - it's rock-hard when not cooked for long enough. This dish was inedible.
The lemon chicken had such little chicken in it that it was mostly like eating plain fried bits covered in sauce. What little chicken was there was completely stringy.
Overall, a total waste of money. I want my money and time back. -

I live around gourmet express and whenever I am too busy to make dinner this is my number one option for take out. The staff is friendly, the food is incredible every single time, prices are great for the quantity of food you get and service is fast. I can't recommend this place enough. I've been going here for about four years and I've yet to have a bad experience.
My favourite menu items are their chicken or beef friend rice, ken ken shrimp, and general tao chicken! -

I have been going here for 12 years. It's my local, quick Chinese take-out. Always had great, affordable choices, great food, not oily, quick and clean, efficient, polite staff. My teenagers love it. I hadn't been for a while and popped in to order Young Chow Fried Rice, Spicy Thai Noodle and one hot and sour soup. Disappointed in the soup: Extremely gelatinous, and bland, with none of the vinegar-y taste it deserves. Added hot sauce, but was not great.
Also disappointed in the rice: All ingredients are super fresh, but looks anemic and tastes bland.
Spicy Thai Noodles did NOT disappoint, however.
I won't abandon this place, just wondering what happened in the kitchen there today...? Four stars, down from my usual five for this one.
Place was busy with lots of eat-in, happy customers. -

First of all, I went here because of the reviews but after trying the food, I'm certain most the reviews are fake. This was the worst Chinese food I've tasted. Manchu Wok which is a fast food chain and not a restaurant actually tastes better. The fried rice was way overcooked and mushy with no flavour but eggs. The spicy chicken wings weren't spicy, they just tossed garlic and chilli flakes on top and the chicken had a stench, which after one bite it all went into the trash.
