    Last time I was at the auto shop and saw this small establishment with their delivery cars--been wanting to try it out for a while now! If you're working and want a quick and filling lunch, you go here. I got the beef and broccoli lunch special and it came with an egg roll. The egg roll was crispy and big but filling ratio was mostly cabbage. The beef and broccoli was a bit too liquid-y and was missing the wok heat flavor. The lo mein was pretty good but a bit too liquid-greasy; my boyfriend had to doctor it up with these Japanese bachan sauce. The hunan beef tasted exactly like the beef and broccoli and the sauce was very neutral and the beef tasted like... well beef! Broccoli still had its crunch! Overall, it's a good choice if you want a filling meal, and I'm glad this establishment exists. A lot of workers come here and they do good business, and they are fast. Their prices have also not gotten too high due to inflation and they make great deals. Not the most flavorful American Chinese restaurant I've been to, but it works! Quick grab and go and small but clean place. Probably I should have asked for more spicy, and maybe the general tso or orange chicken instead. Overall, I am definitely willing to come back and try their other dishes.

    Cheap, good, and fast. You usually don't get all three, but once in a blue moon you do and if you don't want to wait for a moon that's blue, pull up to China Express! Hole-in-the-wall with no sit-down area is why I believe they are able to keep the prices down, and food quality up! When I say they give you generous portions, I'm usually getting lunch and dinner as I would be in a coma to eat all they give in one sitting.

    The outside of the restaurant. If you follow the directions on the gps you shouldn't have trouble locating.

We were happily greeted in and seated. They weren't too busy on this Sunday evening. For apps we decided on the crab guacamole, peel and eat shrimp, and the fried trio- Oysters/Calamari/Shrimp that came with marinara and a roumalade. I noticed a Chipotle sauce that came with another shrimp dish and asked for that instead. The chips were fresh and tasty. Guac was also good the crab sat on top the guac. Peel and eat shrimp well seasoned with old bay. The fried trio was amazing as well. Everything perfectly fried and the Chipotle sauce delicious! For mains we went with the Chilean sea bass and lobster special. Fish and lobster was well prepared in a creamy sauce on top of mashed potatoes. Delicious and the potatoes were plentiful. We also tried the Chef's Ocean Elegance - Seared scallops and crab stuffed shrimp on top of garlic mashed potatoes topped with green onion and mushrooms in a lemon caper sauce.

We were unfortunately served the branzino topped with only the Chilean garlic sauce and not the lemon caper sauce at all. The server wasn't seeming to know what to do with our dissatisfied reaction, so we decided to salvage the fish and ordered the lemon caper on the side, it tasted bland at best. Fish was fine, but unfortunately there was nothing worth mentioning positively about it for its $37 price point. *Neither sauce was worth ordering and unfortunately neither tasted how they were described, more like plain aioli. In our ignorance, we didn't realize branzino meant the whole fish would be served versus a filet. It would have been nice to have been able to read that fact on the menu prior to ordering. We ordered the truffle fries, which had probably zero amounts of truffle on them. Overcooked. We ordered the tropical mojito mocktail, and it was either poorly made or the recipe could use a complete reset. The crab stuffed mushrooms and sauce, amazing. Server, kind. We were asking quite a few questions of him, trying to decide between the Chilean with lobster or the branzino, which showed our ignorance in the fish choices, I believe. A good server would have picked up on this, and went into a much more detailed explanation of both dishes to educate and inform us on making the right decision. So I think it's pretty accurate to say that a good majority of the problems we had could have been salvaged had he been a little more seasoned at reading the individual needs of his customers. Although, with ordering either of these entrees or the truffle fries, we would have been disappointed as the flavor was just not there. Being out of towners used to seafood from California, we were excited to try a new place on the east coast. I read multiple positive reviews from other customers, and unfortunately we are leaving disappointed in the $80 spent. We joked that perhaps the usual chef called in sick and the bus boy took his place. Underwhelming. Overcooked. Bland. But, they had pretty tables.

Something is very off with the (lack of) protein quality at the Falls Church location. The head-on shrimp were smallish - some were 21-25 count, some were 26-30 count, and all had an off-putting *green* poop line. The clams were inedible and tiny. Half of the clams were missing from their shells. They shouldn't be sold. When I showed the poor quality of the clams to the server, they offered a 20% discount - clearly they don't get it. What keeps me loyal to the brand is their signature Hot N Juicy Special sauce (mod: extra garlic). No other Viet Cajun (even in Houston or wherever) comes close to the depth and complexity of the Hot N Juicy Special sauce. For now, the winning move is to order a some sausage in a cup with Hot N Juicy Special medium sauce w/extra garlic TO GO, and sautée it with a bag of defrosted Costco head-on 16-20 count shrimp, or a few dozen live Cherrystone clams from HMart. There is so much potential here. The sauce is boss. Solve your protein problem!
