I’m not sure why this place only has 3 star rating. I think the food is great. Service is friendly and fast. Portions are good. Price is decent. I always get the chicken lo mein, general tso chicken, and fried dumplings. Always satisfying.

I have frequented this location numerous times since moving to Lubbock last year. Staff is always friendly and helpful, dining room is always clean, and food is always fresh and good. I would recommend.

The workers are really nice and always make sure I have napkins and silverware when my food is delivered. It’s always hot and fresh. I always feel welcome when I go in.

I got a take out order for lunch here on 2/23. I ordered the appetizer sampler and the Szechuan Chicken with fried rice. For the sampler, the egg rolls were crisp on the outside and juicy and delicious on the inside, the fried shrimp were cooked perfectly, the fried wontons were fantastic, and the bbq sauce on the ribs was great. The Szechuan Chicken was spicy and the fried rice was a nice compliment to soak up the extra sauce. This is a great place to get a quick lunch if you’re craving Chinese food.

I'm very disappointed. Food tasted like it had been sitting there all day. Chicken was so hard that I could not even chew it. Was really looking forward to a new go to restaurant, but this one is not it.

I asked for general Taos and wanted extra spicy and man was it the bomb! I loved it all. The cooks came out I completed him and the young man who waited on us was very friendly and polite. Later a young lady came she also was great!

Food was great, went at 9:20 and was out by 9:30. Food came out quick and hot and was really good. Recommend the beef and broccoli and the pork and broccoli 5/5 going back

The food was ok. The fried rice was mostly soy sauce there was no vegetables in it and just a little bit of egg. The sesame chicken was a very sweet. The chow mein noodles had a good flavor. The service was good and fast. The place was very clean and nice.

The daily special is about 13 bucks but comes with a lot of food, i ate about half and was pretty full. Will definitely be coming back

This place is AMAZING! The best homeade Chinese food in Lubbock. The Singapore noodles are to die for! And the sweet & sour chicken is the best in lubbock!

I came here for a quick lunch with my sister because she said it was good and I wanted to see for myself. The parking lot is kinda small because it's in a plaza. But it being in a plaza theres always parking, just not right in front like some people prefer. they serve very generous portions of your order. I had the chicken lo mein and it was great! My sister had the chicken fried rice and she really enjoyed it also! The service is good, it's set up like a fast food place. You walk in, order and pay at the register, then seat yourself and they bring the food out to you. The cashier was very helpful and answered all of our questions that we had about the menu.

DO NOT EAT!!! This spot has been a "go to" for me and my family for a while now and it's always tasted great. The service was okay and the ambiance did not make up for it. But, like I said their food was great so we went all the time. I had heard rumors about people finding bugs in their food from there. I brushed it off. I should NOT have brushed it off. Me and my dad got our plate and after eating over half my plate I found it. A cockroach. This is disgusting. I threw the rest away and will NOT be eating there again nor will I be recommending.

Pricing is more than reasonable for the portions. Orange chicken was really not great, tasted like it mostly had bbq sauce on it. still 4 stars because the sesame chicken was really good and like I said it's big portions.

Delicious food and fast service! They do need to maybe update the hours? I've gone when they should have been open but were closed.

I recently moved nearby about 0.3 miles so I walked here to get some takeout during what was listed of hours operation around 6ish yesterday a Friday given that it says they close at 10:30pm only to find doors locked lights off chairs packed on tables. Now I don't know if y'all are shutting down or for some reason closed early yesterday but y'all shouldn't be labeled as open if you aren't.

Called in an order for general Tso's chicken and sweet and sour chicken. Girl on the phone was friendly and kind! Headed that way and only waited about five minutes in the restaurant for it to be ready. Portions are super giving, definitely will feed us twice. They gave plenty of sauce as well. Overall, will be added to our rotation of take out places. I noticed the pictures of menus on here have old prices. So here's new pictures with updated pricing.

The food was very low quality. The chicken was like rubber and the cheese wontons were awful. Would not eat here again.

I used to love this place, but they are very inconsistent with their hours of operation. I have tried to order food here at least 5 times over the past couple months (during their listed hours) and they have been closed every time. Not sure if they are going out of business, but hard to get any business if you aren't open...

Gail B.

Yelp
Food tasted awful. Have tried them three times thinking we just caught a bad day. Really awful.

Service was super friendly and helpful! I put in a rather large order, and it was no problem to them. I waited about 10 minutes or so and walked out with fresh and overall yummy supper. The portions are generous and we definitely had leftovers. The lemon chicken was good, as was the kung pao chicken and broccoli beef. The lo mein was tasty, but the noodles were a little soft for my personal taste. (But that's me) the veggies were a perfect tender/crisp, and the meats were tender and cooked through. As far as the celery, there was more than other places, but to me it was a balanced dish. Glad to have found a new place to eat!

the chicken looks and tastes like McDonald's McNuggets. The Mongolian beef I experienced was far below average, and lacking in sauce and flavor and just wasn't enjoyable at all I threw away the other half because I'm not sure what I was putting in my body. If you have literally been anywhere outside of lubbock this place wouldn't survive, also the rice is undercooked. The cheese wontons are pretty good though And the egg roll was mediocre not terrible not great just an egg roll.

Kathleen A.

Yelp
My boyfriend and I love the food but I think they have a habit of closing during hours of operation. Which is a bit disappointing because I would love to come every week or so. Just stopped by a moment ago and they were closed. Would be nice if they at least left a note attached to the door, so we wouldn't have to worry if they're closing for good.

They were paying very explicit music in the restaurant while I was waiting for my order. Normally I don't care about music played, but there were kids inside and they shouldn't be listening to that.

Tried again today with my wife. She had the Fried Chicken with 5 Seasonings, I had the Hot & Spicy Szechuan Chicken, and we shared a small order of Zhong Dumplings. Everything came very promptly and was a good portion size. My chicken was pretty spicy, it had chicken, peanuts, green onions, LOTS of dried red chiles, and a light sauce. My wife's chicken was very tasty with some unique flavors from the spices, though it was a bit salty. Both entrees came with fried rice. The dumplings were very good with a pork filling and coated with a chile oil sauce with some green onions and other spices on top. All of these items were ordered from there authentic menu. It was all very good.

Great new restaurant that just opened, offering a much more authentic take on Chinese food than your typical American style Chinese food. Awesome food, service, and friendly service! Finally a decent Chinese place in lubbock.

I order here all the time and they have pretty great egg rolls and it's always fresh! Like, always. I absolutely love this place. The only thing that would make it better are bigger egg rolls and beverage options.

I got their sesame chicken. It was good, though I do not like their fried rice. They also do not have a soda fountain, just canned sodas and bottled teas.

We've been coming here for a long time and I have zero complaints. The portions are very generous and I especially like the sesame chicken. It's a small business and the employees are always very attentive and helpful.

If you are very fond of deep fried oily foods then this is the place. I filtered all the oils it was about 3-4 spoon full. I ate one spoon food couldn't bear the oils. Had to trash it eventually.

Overall this place is just ok. Their chow Mein is awful. Their egg rolls were good and the service was good. Maybe I just ate the wrong item.

It took a lot for me to get here but this is probably my fave Chinese spot in Lubbock. The first time I came I ordered the Seafood Delight and I wasn't impressed but I didn't have high expectations since it's not a common dish to come across. I still decided to give them another try and ordered the Szechuan shrimp and scallops and it was amazing! Soo good, and it been up from there. This has officially become my spot for Chinese.

Amber M.

Yelp
I didn't get my full order, so I called, lady says "that's impossible, I know I put it in There!" I said "if it's impossible, then I won't order from you again!" I took a picture of what I received and what I ordered. I am missing a meal. I never order Chinese for delivery, and this is why! Won't be going back to this location if they can't admit a simple mistake and correct it.

It's kinda sad on the inside, but the food is great and not expensive. It's a nice quiet place to eat, but it is not the type of place a group can eat at. The eggdrop soup is very savory and it doesn't have anything else in it (just how I like it). I also had fried rice and General Tso's. The fried rice wasnt that good, so I would reccomend just white rice. However, the chicken is fresh, spicy, and has a lot of sause.

I am having a hard time finding really amazing Chinese food in Lubbock. This place delivers and my husband really likes it. To me this is what I expected, just normal Chinese delivery. They have good size portions and got the food to our house in good timing. Within 30 minutes. I want to try more menu items to explore this establishment more.

I ordered the egg drop soup and orange chicken. The orange chicken was hot but, there was hardly any chicken. It was all batter. The egg drop soup was good but needed more seasoning. Customer service was great.

3D Chinese Food!!! DElicious, DEPendable and DElivery. Yes, always tasty, always on time and accurate and they deliver. Fast service whether you pick up (eat in) or ask for delivery. King Pao Chicken is great, as are Szechuan, Hunan and Curry dishes. Choice of rice is nice and mention and show the free "egg roll" offer on Yelp and get a free one. Best I've had in Lubbock. Spicy is hot but not too hot. Behind the Whataburger next to Beef OBradys on 4th.

This is the best Chinese food in Lubbock! I've tried a few other places around town and China Express wins, no contest. I've only been 3 times in the last 9 months, but the lady who takes the orders at the front always remembers me and greets me like a good friend. It's just a really nice touch and their customer service definitely won me over. I've ordered a few things here and all of them have been very good and made fresh. With Chinese food (or really, "Americanese" food), I notice that what is called szechuan chicken in one place may not be remotely the same dish at another, so I have ordered one or two dishes where I received something completely different than what I expected, but it's all been delicious. Honestly, that's my fault for not asking about a dish before ordering. I've had the Kung Pao, Szechuan chicken, and most recently the sesame chicken. Portions are quite large and can be split between 2-3 meals. You definitely get a good value here. Highly recommend!

Had lunch there today, thought it was very good, only judging and placing a review based on one dish; had the sweet-and-sour chicken, it was very good, good portion size, price was reasonable, would recommend.

We order here at least once a week. Food is simple and not super expensive. It's a small place so we don't expect super fancy quality but it's good enough that makes partner who hates Chinese food inhales his. Good flavors and good prices.

The food and service are awesome there. I love the taste so much and I'm Chinese. They have the amazing szechuan style menu and all of the items remain very original real Chinese taste. Also the environment is very clean and everything is organized so well. I've tried other Chinese restaurant in Lubbock but only this one really surprises me and made me and my friends fall in love with it. The first time I got there, everybody was so friendly that I just felt so comfortable. I highly recommend you guys try it out and I hope and I think you guys will like it and have a wonderful time there.

The girl at the front was BEYOND RUDE to both us and all of the customers in front of us. When we specifically told her all of our orders were the daily special, she told us no and proceeded to roll her eyes at us for asking to be given what we had ordered. I should mention we are just 3 college students who were not being loud, rude, or anything like that in the restaurant. Very very disappointed.

We've ordered from this place before. My typical Chinese comfort food is BBQ spare ribs, soup and Roast Pork Fried rice. They seem to be the only place in Lubbock that has those options... many don't want to invest in the special oven and venting that they require. While I'm pretty pleased (though not thrilled) with the taste of the food, my beef is the size of the entrees vs the price. The PR fried rice, had all rice, very little meat and no other veggies at all. The Ribs come with 3 instead of 4 or more. So for the price, I expected larger portions. I won't go back just out of principal. I'll go back to Dallas for my Chinese comfort food.
