    Gary Woo Express has been on list to try forever but we only just made the trip. It's a humble West Boca takeout spot with old-school vibes: red walls, laminated menus, celebrity photos taped to the wall (yes, Adam Sandler), and a couple of tables if you eat in. Not much atmosphere--but that's not the draw. The food is unapologetically American-Chinese, and it nails that nostalgic New York flavor. We had crispy shrimp balls (deep-fried shrimp paste wrapped in noodles--fantastic), roast pork fried rice (great char siu, wok hei, not greasy), and a standout shrimp with lobster sauce (rich, eggy, loaded with ground pork, not watered down). Portions are huge and prices fair--three dishes plus a soda ran just under $50. They also offer a dim sum section on the menu, which we haven't tried yet--but based on what we ate, there's promise. It's not fancy, curated, or modern--but it's the kind of takeout Chinese many of us grew up with and can't seem to find anymore. Eat it there while it's hot. It's worth it.

    It's all thick flavorless lettuce stems

    Decided that since most of the family wasn't home, I could enjoy some good Chinese with my kids. Picked up a container of chicken lo mein, beef and broccoli dinner combo - with house salad and soup, asked about extra crunchies and duck sauce. Well the kid didn't say they charged for that, in the past they have not, he just gave me back less change than I expected. The soup was the best part as usual, very flavorful. The house salad came with a yellow water that had no flavor and was all stems. The lo mein was very hot and fresh, but was lacking in flavor, the beef and broccoli had the same problem, looked great tasted like it was missing every seasoning it was supposed to have. They no longer have any coupons except the 10% for cash discount.

    I don't know how this place doesn't have better reviews. I used to come here years ago, but moved away for a while and now that I've moved back, I feel like they have even improved. the food is even better than i remember. The people that work there are so extremely kind and friendly. I did find it a little pricey, but not willing to remove a star for the cost since everything is expensive these days. The crunchy tuna roll was mind blowing.

    The best, most fresh Chinese take out I've found in South Florida. I absolutely love this place.

I got the Sesame Tofu, and it was a good-sized portion of nicely fried tofu and lots of perfectly cooked broccoli. My boyfriend got the Garlic Chicken combo dinner and he was pleasantly surprised with everything, even the wonton soup that came with his meal. The guy working there that day was not expecting us to want to dine in, since it seems like all of their customers order takeout or delivery, but he gladly gave us some disposable plates and plastic utensils after we got our food in takeout containers. He was very nice and seemed both appreciative and amused that I attempted to speak in Cantonese with him (I am very rusty). Again, since it's a takeout spot, there were only two small tables inside and no outdoor seating, but it was extremely clean inside and very bright, unlike most Chinese takeout spots. Would happily come back here and try other tofu dishes!
