China Express - River Oaks

Ordered sweet sour chicken. Came with no sweet and sour. Wanton soup was brown old rancid. Fried shrimp old and chewy. I would not recommend this place. Quality control was terrible.

Only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because the online ordering was great and I didn’t have to pay ahead and got text updates. The food however was sadly not at all what I expected from a 4.5 star reviewed place. I’m super sad because I’d been craving good Chinese for a week and drove 15 minutes to get it because it was the closest to me with good reviews. The Sesame chicken was all spongy, teriyaki chicken was dry and lacking flavor with a weird aftertaste, lo mein tasted overwhelmingly of celery, crab Rangoon filling was too sweet for me and the outside was not as crispy as I would have liked.

Food has been good and fresh, even late at night for takeout. We have not ordered from the combination plate menu, which is on display when you enter, so we can't speak to that part of the menu. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. Pickup orders have been made in a timely manner. Often takes longer to pay than anything else. Food is either already ready or well in process by the time we arrive, after ordering online. Atmosphere is a bit cluttered but has always been very clean. There is a small dine-in area, but we have always gotten our food to go. Egg rolls are notably and consistently good, as is the chicken fried rice. Service is friendly, helpful, and efficient. We expect to continue to visit regularly.

Staff was very friendly, food was bad, very mushy rice with a strange aftertaste, Orange chicken was almost flavorless and the flavor that was there wasn’t pleasant, the sweet and sour chicken was ok, very oilyFood: 1/5

Literally sitting in restaurant now. Don't do it!!! I ordered 2 entree plate s&s chicken and sesame chicken came with egg roll and fried rice. I've never seen blood red sesame chicken before, has a horrible after taste. S&s chicken just taste like MSG, egg roll is soggy. Rice it to grainy, not even sure how that happens cause it's a grain....??? I'm honestly sad about it, thought since was a new spot for would be good. I wasted $12.??‍??‍??‍
