Crab puffs are a HUGE family favorite. We never get just one order.. we always leave with an extra batch to eat later. They have a little bit of a sweeter cream cheese filling that I haven't been able to find anything like anywhere else.. it's very unique. The new China Cafe Express is honestly amazing. The food is just as good as ever. The service is amazing still, same sweet waitresses as the old location.. food is still well priced. Did not feel like express at all as we sat at a nice table. The restaurant was very clean. Lek has been there since I was a kid, she's always been so kind to my family everytime we've been in as well as the very sweet other waitress who we've seen often too!! Some suggestions from my husband and kids after eating there tonight: Mongolian beef, honey walnut shrimp, number 4 dinner combo, definitely crab puffs & hot and sour soup.

We ordered for appetizer, a cup of egg flour soup, and the spring rolls. The egg flour soup had bits of carrots and corn. Was not to bad- can't really miss that soup. The spring rolls were just okay. For our mains, we ordered the orange chicken (comes with side of steam rice) and the Mongolian beef (also comes with a side of rice but we upgraded to the pork fried rice for $2.50). The Mongolian beef was not your normal Mongolian beef- if anything it was just beef and veggies(onion, zucchini, snap peas, carrots), I say skip the pork fried rice up charge because it was also a miss. There was barely any pork bits, and just tasted like soy sauced rice. They missed the mark on that for sure. The thing that saved our dinner was the orange chicken- came out great- and had a little kick.

We got the appetizer platter and some extra orders of spring rolls and crab rangoons. The crab puffs were obviously homemade and so recently fried that i had to wait a few seconds to let them cool. They were the perfect crunchy creamy combination and went very well with the sesame dipping sauce they came with. The spring rolls were also fantastic, thick rolls stiffed with cabbage and meat with curry spices. We also got a round of egg flower soup and tea for the table. The tea was some of the best jasmine tea i've had and was perfect to bump up the caffeine levels to continue our drive. For dinner we got the sautéed broccoli, kung pow chicken, beef chow mein, Szechuan shrimp, salt pepper squid and rice for the table. I'm not a huge fan of kung pow chicken usually because it doesn't have many veggies, but this was amazing. In with the chicken there were peppers, onions, corn, mushrooms, and peanuts! The sauce was spicy and super flavorful. This was by far my favorite dish. The Szechuan shrimp was sweet and tangy and the shrimp were coated in a shell of breading that was miraculously still crunchy while also soaking up the sauce to make the perfect bite. The broccoli was the simplest dish, but even though it was just steamed broccoli it had a wonderful umami rich sauce that highlighted the perfectly cooked vegetable. The salt and pepper squid was perfectly fried and crispy and super tender. It also came with a selection of blackened peppers and onions that went really well with the squid bites. The beef chow mein had perfectly tender beef bites with onions peppers and bean sprouts. The bean sprouts were well cooked and yet nice and crunchy. I couldn't find any noodles in the dish but the bean sprouts did the same job and I think the dish was better without. So good. This restaurant, aside from the food, was really clean and well run. Susie was very nice, and when we had finished eating we got to talk to her a little about how she had just opened and how she had moved out here from portland. I will be back to pendleton in a few weeks for the round up, and you can bet 100% that you can find me at Susie's!!!!

It was Saturday and the lunch buffet was $10.95. The buffet had only six items, which made me snicker.

If you're in the mood for some killer Chinese food, this spot is the real deal! Seriously, the food here is fantastic, and they don't skimp on the portions either - you'll definitely leave with a full belly. The atmosphere gives off this nostalgic vibe that just adds to the whole experience. My family and I are already planning our next visit. We can't stop thinking about the Almond Fried Chicken, Crab Puffs, and Sweet and Sour Pork - they were absolute winners! If you're in the area and craving some Chinese goodness, this place is a must-try. read more

Best Chinese food in the Tri-Cities. The portions are amazing and the prices are low. I've been eating here with my family since the mid 90's. The owner remembers everyone in my family by name and asks about them each time we go in. They are very good about substituting tofu for meat since the majority of us are vegetarian. Highly recommend trying it. read more

I saw a few people with the bowls overflowing. This place has a buffet of quite a selection of food to choose from; vegetables, meats, noodles, sauces and seasons. You fill the bowl and bring it to the cook. The food gets thrown onto a circular flat top that the cooks walk around as they push the food around the circle until it is cooked. The food is then placed into a fresh bowl and handed back to you to take to your table. While I was there, I was asked by the cook "hot sauce or not hot?" I stated "not hot"; but while eating, I found the food to be a little on the spicy side anyways. I believe that could be due to the grill having hot sauce poured on it for a previous order. That being said, the food was full of flavors and textures that I got to choose as well; so that in itself is pretty great. The waitress was attentive, however, did bring a cup of tap water after I asked for a bottle of water. Which could have just been a misunderstanding. Other than that I thought she was polite and courteous and fairly quick. I really did enjoy the idea of "all you can fit in the bowl and have it cooked in front of you." It was mildly entertaining and unique. As for decor, I would not call this a fancy restaurant; but I can say in confidence that it is one that you will feel full and satisfied when you leave.
