"How's Fortune Cookie?" That's the question I asked the tennis pro when getting my racket restrung next door (tennis pros are widely known for exceptional opinions on Chinese restaurants). "It's alright," he said. I took that as a challenge. Maybe he had the Egg Foo Young and Peking Duck, whereas I was going for the Wonton Soup, Roast Pork Lo Mein, and Teriyaki Chicken. I stubbornly decided the tennis pro was going to be wrong. When I entered Fortune Cookie I was in Chinese takeout paradise. The place was immaculately clean, the staff was friendly and dressed in clothes with Chinese flower patterns that reminded me of botanical gardens, and the place was crowded. On top of that, the food arrived quickly. I dove into the Wonton Soup (not literally), but it was blah, blah, blah: one blah for each Wonton. The Teriyaki Chicken looked like pork. Based on the inside, it was Chicken, but it was definitely pork-ish. The taste was just okay (unless you like pork-ish). The Roast Pork Lo Mein was pretty good but not amazing. The food was average, but I'm giving Fortune Cookie a 4 for cleanliness and service--and for the possibility that the Egg Foo Young and Peking Duck are outstanding.

Location is tucked away and I feel as though I found a little hidden treasure. Visited the location on a mid-day Saturday. Food was ordered and came out correct and quickly for our entire family. The food was flavorful and portion size was plentiful. There were plenty of seating options for dining in. Restrooms were clean. I will definitely be back very soon!

I ordered lunch using Uber Eats. The delivery was very well done and prompt. The food was somewhat of a disappointment. Using Uber Eats, I ordered scallop with Garlic Sauce, spring roll, house Lo Mein and Plain Fried Rice. Didn't know why I was able to order both House Lo Mein and Plain Fried Rice. Some restaurants give two kinds of carbs, lo mein and fried rice so I figured this is one of those places. There was no fried rice. I wasn't sure if the order choice was incorrect with the system or they simply forgot. The sad thing was that the garlic scallop was soupy so I needed some kind of rice, rather than lo mein to finish the garlic scallop. Lo Mein noodles were soft and it seemed over boiled. Overall I would give 2.5 stars for the taste.

This is hands down the worst Chinese food I have ever had. Just terrible. Tasted old and was barely edible. Disgusting.

The Chicken & Broccoli is good. This is one of the better Chinese takeout joints in Charlotte.

An all time favorite place of mine that I've been a fan of since their first location! So happy to…read moresee how they've grown and created a beautiful space and resturant with their beautiful decoration, ambiance, and excellent service from the employees. Always my favorite place to go when I start to miss home and need some nostalgia and that home cooked meal feeling. My other favorite (not pictured) includes: Mango or watermelon jasmine tea, beef stew with rice, dan dan noodles, tornado potato, honestly any of the appetizer/street foods, home-made soy milk. Did I mention I loved this place?

After many years, I revisited this place for lunch at its new South Boulevard location…read more.. The new place was casual, yet chic and modern...and runs on this touch screen ordering process. I actually loved the bright, comfy vibe of the place. Thought it could use a bit louder music to fill the space. I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles, Rainbow Dumplings and this Mango Jasmine Tea drink...and they were all pretty good. Still, I was surprised how my bill totaled about 35 bucks. Normally, I'm not too surprised by the pricing (even for lunch), but it felt a bit high...given that everything was served on paper and plastic wares. I did like how they have these DIY take-home plastic wares accessible and ready to go...so some points for that! Overall, it's just a casual eatery...not a full scale restaurant. I prefer full scale service, complete with nicely plated presentations, but this type of DIY eatery is just something that's becoming more common.

Hot day. Costco run complete. Charlotte traffic testing everyone's patience. That meant one thing:…read morecomfort food stop at Taipei Express. It was pushing 97 degrees outside, and after a long afternoon of computer work and errands, I finally stopped in for the crispy scallion chicken and pan-fried dumplings. Huge portions. Fair prices. Friendly people. Consistently solid food every single time. The best part today honestly might have been the air conditioning. They've got a cool, comfortable space to wait while your order is prepared, which felt amazing after baking outside all day. I forgot to take food photos because I was hungry and ready to get home, but trust me, they pack these takeout containers like a game of Jenga. Nothing spills. Nothing shifts. Everything is packed tight and thoughtfully. Only tiny downside: the dumpling sauce goes into the same container as the hot dumplings, so by the time I got home, it had softened the bottom a bit. Still, the dumpling wrappers are thick and crispy enough to survive the trip. Into the air fryer later they go. One warning: the parking lot can be chaotic since it sits right off busy Providence Road. Just be patient. Cars are constantly pulling in, backing out, blocking entrances, and today people were absolutely treating red lights like suggestions. Saw it multiple times, including a bus cutting across traffic when I had the right-of-way. Charlotte drivers... please relax a little. That said, the food made the trip worth it. Taipei Express is one of those dependable local spots that always comes through when you need a solid meal without spending a fortune. Life is too short to not eat well. Get out there and eat your way through Charlotte.

It is busy enough that plenty of other people had also called in for takeout. The price was higher than I thought it would be by a significant margin; I thought something was off but then rechecking their menu I saw it was indeed $20 for a vegetable entree. On the upside, they did offer brown rice at no extra charge. Still, I'll get three meals out of it and as someone who eats a lot of takeout, this was not a great value. In terms of quality, I was thrilled to find that they offered a stir-fried okra dish. This is a ubiquitous Indian dish, and of course okra is common throughout the tropics globally, but I'd never seen this offered at a Chinese restaurant before. And the rapid cooking technique typical of the cuisine produced a delightfully crisp vegetable, which went great with a black bean sauce and some very hot dried chilis. On the other hand, their interpretation of ma po tofu had some fermented broad beans but minimal vegetables (sometimes you get mushrooms or peas or at least some leeks or something) and no numbing sensation. They had a bean curd roll dish that I enjoyed, and some quality dumplings. Overall, not huge portions and a mix of okay to great quality.
