    I would love to eat here again but they've been closed. I drove up last Tuesday within their posted business hours and they were closed. Today I called first and got their answering machine after two rings. Bummer. I hope they're OK. If you guys are OK, would you please update your business hours for your fans?

    in town for the weekend to see family and asked the locals where they recommended to eat, Majority recommended this restaurant so we went and I'm so glad I had the courage to ask strangers about their recommendations. Shout out to them and this restaurant for being so delicious and a delicacy Indiana doesn't have to offer. Staff is very friendly and very helpful with the menu. Amazing prices and portions. Bring ya family

    Also known as "China-Thai Cuisine" (you will see a sign) It's a solid Chinese-Thai place in Ridgecrest considering the price, location, and menu offerings. It most definitely will not have the best or most authentic Chinese-Thai food, but given the lack of Asian restaurants in the area, it's a nice place to stop & eat. We did the --hot & sour soup: decent, not authentic, can adjust spicy levels --cream cheese fried wontons: surprisingly good, one of my favorites --chili basil w/ shrimp: spicy...not bad --silver noodles w/ veggies --eggplant & chicken All were decent and had large portions for the price. I would come again if I'm ever in the area! Tip: Order online here https://www.chinaexpressridgecrest.com/s/order Pick-up orders are usually ready in 30-40 minutes. You will NOT get a text/call saying that your order is ready.

    My Yelp search for dinner in Ridgecrest guided us here. The service staff were friendly, the Thai Tea was very good and our choices of sesame chicken and silver noodles stir fried were pretty decent. With the exception of the chicken egg foo young, we've had much better, quite a tasty meal. Overall, a good choice for Chinese & Thai food when staying in Ridgecrest.

    Nicely remodeled China Express.

    This place has the best pad Thai dish in town. If you order in, you do have to wait a while but it's SO worth it. Highly recommend.

    I was tempted to give this sushi spot 5 stars to balance it out. I liked how all the sushi rolls…read morewere bite-sized and well balanced. Both the super dragon and rainbow rolls were solid, but the special Bam Crunch roll stood out. The kids enjoyed the calamari tempera, miso soup, edamame, salmon and salmon/avocado rolls.

    On our drive back to California from Reno, I was seriously craving sushi. I searched along our…read moreroute and Tokyo House Japanese Restaurant popped up on both Google and Yelp with decent reviews, so my husband and I decided to give it a try. We ordered a few sushi rolls, a rice plate with beef and vegetables, and chicken potstickers. I'll start with the positives: the woman who took our order over the phone was very kind and professional, and our food was ready right on time when we arrived. The restaurant itself was also very clean, which we appreciated. We took everything to go since we were continuing our road trip. Unfortunately, once we started eating, we were really disappointed. While the pricing was reasonable, the food quality just didn't match the reviews. The beef had almost no flavor, the rice was bland, and the overall dish felt very under-seasoned. The sushi was simply okay not terrible, but not something I'd go out of my way for. The biggest letdown, though, was the chicken potstickers. They were burned on the outside and when we opened them up, there was barely any filling inside. They tasted dry and overcooked, which was really disappointing. It wasn't a horrible experience overall, but definitely not memorable in a good way. Would I come back? No. Would I recommend it? Probably not. The service and cleanliness were solid, but when it comes to Japanese food, flavor and execution matter most and unfortunately, this just didn't deliver for us.

The food was fresh and hot and they had shrimp at least 5 ways and I like that the fish was salmon. I tried a small bit of many things and everything was good. They gave me a pot of hot tea and that was good too. The service is very friendly and they want to make sure that you enjoy your meal. They have a salad bar and also small sushi selection which is fine as all their hot Chinese food is really good. I am not a dessert person but I tried their mango jello, real ice cream and hot apple strudel. They were all tasty. I was impressed with the quality of meat. They have orange chicken, chicken teriyaki skewers, broccoli beef, kung pao chicken, and my favorite was the BBQ pork ribs. I enjoyed my visit. Going back soon.

But you don't want Mexican food, so what to do? Well, the ambiance and service here are fine. The food is fine. You aren't going to leave here feeling like it was a terrible experience, but you aren't going to leave trying to plan your next trip back either. My burger was slightly overcooked and slightly under seasoned. The fries were fine. The toppings were fresh. My wife's salad was mostly iceberg lettuce and a reasonable amount of over cooked chicken. Our server was fine if a little inattentive. The decor is fine. You know you're in a steakhouse-esque establishment that isn't in its hey day. But things are clean enough. I'm sure I'll be back the next time I come to Ridgecrest. Mostly because a restaurant that is 'fine' is about as good as I've found here.
