Look, I could complain about the menu with names that mostly have nothing to do with what you get…read moreso you need a tour guide to know what to order, or the way Tan likes to charge random prices when you get to the register, but no one is gonna care because this place is a local legend and the food is that good. It's part of the experience. I'll make it easy for you. Drunken chicken/salmon or whatever you want with rice. Pay whatever the colonel wants. If you want something different... cheeseburger. Just trust me. It's not a cheeseburger at all. lol. You will love it though. Tan might even sit at your table and make fun of you and tell you gruesome bloody stories about the war or complain about who knows what but it is all part of the experience. If he puts a bib on you it means you are now family. He may even give you a nickname.

5-star food .... I don't think so…read more The restaurant is small. The tables are packed in tightly together. When we entered there was quite a crowd. The menu is on the wall. It is advisable to visit the restaurant's Facebook page before you go to the restaurant. It will save time and save your neck, from trying to read the menu that is mounted up on the wall. There are helpful pictures on one of the walls. Order and pay at the counter. The food is delivered to the table. My wife had the Chinese Chicken. Stewed chicken pieces smothered in a seasoned gravy over a big pile of rice with a little cabbage on the side. The gravy tasted like it may have been seasoned with Chinese Five Spice. The meat was good and it tasted fine, but overall boring and not recommended. I had the Super Bowl. All the meats on this bowl were good. Bright red Char siu style chicken, good tender beef slices, and excellent tempura fried shrimp. All stacked on a big pile of rice noodles with a few slices of cabbage on the side. The noodles were in a sweet brown sauce that I didn't care for. The fried shrimp is delicious and recommended. The food is not impressive enough to get me back in the restaurant or even recommend it over some of the other excellent Asian restaurants In Ft. Smith. Diamond Head 2, a version of average Chinese food. Then there are these repurposed flip top Parmesan cheese containers (think Kraft Parmesan cheese bottles.) There are one or two of them on every table filled with a nasty looking sauce concoction. The top of the bottles are open, and they have a spoon stuck in them to serve yourself up whatever that is inside. You would have to be a brave soul to actually use the sauce. I'm surprised this gets past the health department.

They have a variety on their menu! Back in Texas I've always wanted to try Papaya Salad luckily I got to try it here for the first time. My plate consisted of papaya salad, wings, and sticky rice. Wings cooked to perfection, great crunch simple no sauce mixed in. I dipped the wings in a chili not spicy whatsoever. The papaya salad you had the option to choose the Lao or Thai style: I went with the Lao style which had shrimp paste a little more pungent. Loved it, it was refreshing and spicy to my likings. I was able to choose how many peppers to add. Two peppers were enough for me, not crazy spicy just enough for me. Definitely worth for what you pay for because there portions were HUGE. Volcano chicken was great, not too spicy and had a sauce with different chilies. The Pad Kee Mao had so much flavor to it. I ordered a combination which had chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp. Loved the thick noodles, bunch of veggies to which is a great balance. Topped it off with some sriracha for some extra kick. Overall, I could tell this place made the food with love. Our waitress was super nice and helpful! In the future once I'm back in this area I'd love to try more off their menu.

You can probably snag a table if you are a little early or a little late, missing the 12 o'clock diners. As far as the parking, just try to squeeze in somewhere. You may have to park across the street. Don't be discouraged, you have to eat here. The food is fantastic! Starting with ...... The best egg drop soup I have ever had anywhere! Bright, freshly made, a noticeable egg yok flavor, smooth, filled with strands of egg white. Big crispy wonton strips on the side provide a satisfying crunch. Mouthwatering deliciousness! I got the Orange Chicken lunch special. A plate full of fried chicken breast chunks, bathed in sauce that was orange in color and very orange in flavor. Fried rice and a good egg roll. It was great. My wife got the winning meal; Ultimate Fried Rice. And Ultimate it was. Fried rice with big shrimp, chicken, beef and pork. I tasted of each of the meats. The beef and the pork were my favorites. My wife liked the shrimp. I thought the beef was delicious. Very nice lean cuts of beef, with a flavor like home made pot roast. The pork was of equal quality. The Ultimate Fried Rice is recommended. Ft Smith has many fine Asian restaurants. Asian Kitchen Express was recognized a few years ago as one of the top Asian carry out restaurants. Whether you eat in or grab food to go from this very small shop, it is one of the best in Ft Smith. Friendly service and great food.

You can't go wrong with the Lo Mein, General Tso's Chicken, or Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. Service is good. The inside of the restaurant is small, simple, clean.

Twice now we have ordered online, paid through the online service, and found the restaurant had been closed for several days for vacation, illness, trips, etc. So, call the restaurant first. The service has always been great, fast, accurate, and hot. We got stuck in a traffic jam and they called to make sure we were still coming and kept our food hot for us. There really is no ambiance per se. You go in and the person hands you your already bagged up order, smiles, thanks you, and you're outta there. The lobby is clean, and neat. The condiment trays are stocked. Food is epic! Best hot and sour soup around!!
