    Fiery string bean 25.  Combo
    Jacqueline H.

    I'm happy to report that I ordered this dish mild and it actually was mild. It was so delicious with lots of green beans as you can see. A much healthier choice than the usual but very satisfying with lots if savory flavor. Just get it.

    Best Chinese take out restaurant in Matthews, North Carolina. High food quality and fresh vegetables and affordable also. Quick service as well. Respectful of vegetarians too - order of vegetarian fried rice contained eggs and it was immediately replaced. Has indoor seating too for those who wish to dine inside.

    Orange chicken & fried rice combo- only what's left of it! Lol

    Sooooo glad to have found a chinese place that is so good!!! Always order their orange chicken, chicken fried rice & sweet n sour chicken! The sauce stays thick even after refrigerating- LOVE that. It doesn't get all soggy. Lots of sauce too! Not dry at all. The fried rice might me my favorite! Simple; not over oily. With lots of egg!

    Nice little Chinese restaurant on Providence Rd across from Waverly. Nice menu selection. Food is good. Today's selection is Hibachi Steak & Shrimp. I was surprised that after paying over $12.00 there's was no egg roll included. Lots and lots of carrots.... small container and very small portion of steak and shrimp. The shrimp were medium sized but this dish was not worth $12.00. I should have stuck with standard cheap lunch . Overall the review would be the food is good. Some overpriced but good. It's not a fancy place - the food is served on plastic & the utensils are plastic. Not too many other negatives .... American Chinese cheap & fast food style but good. The restaurant is clean .

    Taipei Express has become one of my go-to takeout spots when I've had a long day and don't feel…read morelike cooking. The portions here are very generous, and everything is made to order, which I appreciate. It's not the most authentic Taiwanese or Chinese food--it's definitely geared toward local tastes--but it still hits the spot for a quick and satisfying meal. I usually add a little chili crunch or chili oil to give the dishes the extra heat I'm looking for. The pan-fried dumplings are a highlight. They take about 20 minutes to prepare, but you can tell they're made fresh and cooked properly. As someone still searching for the perfect potsticker in Charlotte after moving from the San Francisco Bay Area, these are solid and definitely worth ordering. Parking is probably the biggest challenge here. The restaurant sits off a busy street and the small lot in front only has a handful of spaces, so it can require some patience (and sometimes creativity) to find a spot. Insider tip: Try going earlier or later in the day to avoid the parking headache during peak lunch or dinner hours. Overall, it's a great value for generous portions, quick service, and reliable takeout. The staff is efficient and they've never gotten my order wrong, which keeps me coming back.

    So sorry that our first experience with you did not go well, but here is why…read more It was take-away. We both ordered combinations of meats with veggies. Won Ton soup, Chicken with Black Bean Sauce and Shrimp with mixed vegetables. The soup was flavorless and the won tons stuffing was not identifiable. In some won tons it was a square-shaped and somewhat stringy. In other cases it might have been chicken or pork...it was hard to identify as they were both tasteless. Sorry to say that both of us, after a few bites and prior to even opening the steamed rice containers, looked at each other and asked: "are you going to eat yours?" We both found the combos flavorless mush. Even the vegetables seemed to be mushy and over cooked. Something is wrong, as we both enjoy Chinese foods and frequently visit many of those around us. Yes, we will try some of the offered Taipei Express combinations, later. But for now we will order select items to try them before re-entering combination land.

It was our first visit and we wanted to try the curry. We ordered the Thai Red Curry and the Thai Green Curry. Both were perfection! The red curry had just the right amount of spice to give it flavor, but not be too spicy hot. The green was mild, but flavorful. The dumplings were so good. These were both very good and we added shrimp and chicken. I believe they would be just a satisfying with only the vegetables. This is my go to place for Asian noodle dishes from now on...can't wait to sample more of the menu on my next visit.

They genuinely did not taste like chicken at all, and I couldn't even finish them. I strongly recommend staying away from that item. I also tried to order a bubble tea without ice and was told I'd be charged an extra $2 because they would need to "add more juice." I didn't ask for extra juice, just no ice!!! And charging extra for that feels unreasonable and borderline price gouging. Ridiculous!!!! Between the poor food quality and the frustrating service, the overall experience wasn't great, and I won't be returning.
