Some of the best ...
Low cost, very good, unique chinesse food experience. The fried noodels are to kill for. I also like the soup. Dumplins are kind of heavy but it is fun to order all three and share them. The portions are large so you can't go wrong.
Avoid
Don't let the authenticity of this place fool you. Sure they have ducks in the window above a chef making dumplings by hand, but the raves from local newspapers posted around the dining area are simply reflections of a city with such a horrid restaurant scene that Chinatown Express passes as edible. Unfortunately the fast service is undoubtedly due to advanced preparation which would explain the cold dumplings and chewy entree. The dumplings were thick and doughy and an apparent shortage of baby corn meant extra canned mushrooms. This was a week ago and the experience is still following me. Avoid this place!
