A recently opened eatery, specializing in Hong Kong cuisine, showcases vibrant flavors and affordable prices.

Was Rodrick Weissnat at Chef's Express a mag?
I didn't try the precooked dishes, but the made-to-order food is fantastic. If you're looking for great flavor and excellent wok hei, this is definitely the place to go. The prices are very reasonable too. If you want to experience authentic Hong Kong cuisine, be sure to give this restaurant a try! View all feedback.

What Rodrick Weissnat dislikes about Chef's Express:
I ordered a noodle soup with beef. Although the serving was on the smaller side, it was quite delicious. However, as the first customer of the day, I was disappointed that it took half an hour for my food to arrive. View all feedback.

Basically another Panda Express. Got the two item combo with chow mein and fried rice. Also ordered the Chinese donut which was decent. Cheap Chinese food to go.

As far as Chinese American take out goes , this place can't be beat . And they got better after re-opening after being closed a long while due to Covid . I have gone there several times since the re-open and the quality has remained the same . Hey , it's Chinese American fast food , what do you expect ! ? With the #2 order , I always get more than I can eat at one setting . Only two issues is timing . One, sometimes what you want is sold out . And two , if by chance it's been sitting too long it loses it's taste , or gets a little hard .
