    the front of the restaurant

    Very friendly service (lots of guessing about my ethnicity and why I am in Coalinga). But as the other reviewers noted, the food is very salty here. Despite the cautionary reviews, I had a Chinese food craving that wouldn't die. Aftermath: not feelin' too hot after eating the noodles and chicken w/ broccoli, so I won't be a repeat customer. To my surprise, there is a lot of foot traffic, so my opinion is clearly in the minority. That said, I am sipping my Trader Joe's pomegranate detox tea.

    2 item combo featuring: double noodles, and two different chicken entrees including a seasonal menu item - asparagus chicken!

    I usually come here in the slow early-afternoon hours on the weekend when they are preparing some of the ingredients that will be cooked for the dinner-time clientele. When I come in sometimes I'm the first customer of the day and have seen a box full of fresh green beans being trimmed and sorted at one of the empty tables. You wouldn't expect an inexpensive restaurant like this to use farm fresh veggies, but from what I've seen and tasted they do! And what's more, the menu is occasionally infused with seasonal items like asparagus chicken in the spring when fresh asparagus is available. They know how to use the ingredients well. The asparagus was cooked to a perfect al dente tenderness that allowed this veggie to shine in all its green glory. It's been a few years since I found this place and eating here is still one of the things I look forward to most about visiting Coalinga. Keep up the great work China 1 Express!

    Good for take out when you have a Chinese food craving! Basically a mom and pop version of Panda Express. Very reasonably priced and the woman who served me was friendly. The Black Pepper Chicken and Kung Pan Chicken are good and if you like your food really spicy try mixing their homemade chili paste into your chow mein.

    Two item combo Kung pan chicken and spicy black pepper chicken

    One suggestion. Order off the menu! Yes they have paper menus. The veggies with sauce on the side (called healthy veggies) are amazing
