Chinese Gourmet Express

When owner is not present the food taste bad and when he is the food taste better. Example burned fried rice vs tender fresh fried rice. I hope quality holds since is an expensive place as-is.

Great place for a quick pick me up and lots of variety and fresh food I love eating my favorite place in the food court.

I found a small cockroach on my chicken. I told the worker and she just laughed off and said “ we’ll be careful next time”. I was so disgusted n threw the whole plate again. Never eating there again.

Online says they open at 1030 and that's a lie . Almost 11 and man says 10 more mins . Man seems to hate his job . Customer service sucks! ... . And this isn't the first time this has happened!!!!!!

My favorite place for chowmein, teriyaki chicken, orange chicken, beef & broccoli, chicken & green beans, raspberry ice tea. Service is excellent, Happy staff, Manager is friendly and helpful. Consistent in both taste of food and great customer service. Highly recommended!

Very tasty food I drive the extra mile to eat here.

I had a cockroach in my plate while I was eating. I went to show it to the owner, and he said I'll return your money. He wanted to return only what I payed with cash and not with a card. I asked for all my money. He said ok! But that happened on Sunday, and he hasn't returned it yet. I also told him that he should throw away his food, and he said yes! But he didn't. He continued selling the same food. So disgusting. We don't deserve that. My little niece was eating with me. So disappointed

While drinking my soda, I noticed a dark spot on my lid. I opened it and there was a BUG on my cover. I didn't eat the rest of my food or drink the rest of my soda. I told the employee and he laughed and said "we will pay more attention". Ummm no thank you. Never again.

We had been out all morning and decided we needed a bite to eat and a place to relax. We walked to the food court and decided we'd try the Chinese Gourmet Express. Gourmet and Express really shouldn't be used together and this was fast but not gourmet. They give you a sample of orange chicken as you are looking at your choices. The sugary coated chicken hooks unsuspecting folks It seemed like a Panda Express steam type prepared food but it had a bit more interesting. They had lots of spicy food with jalapeños as well as the normal red peppers. Hubs selected the orange chicken, fried rice and bbq pork. I had Beef & Broccoli, half rice & chow mein noodles and Kung Paso chicken with more zucchini than chicken. The chicken was tender without a tenderized without a tenderized feel. The broccoli and zucchini were great with a bit of a crunch. Kung Pao chicken wasn't really spicy-even though I found a couple of red peppers. My husband liked the orange chicken-though a bit sweet and BBQ pork was ok. We both only ate half our food. It will be nice to have another meal. My motive was not so pure, as I saw something else to top off the meal. The ambiance is mall food court but service was good.

Changed the quality of the vegetables and removed more expensive ingredients. Completely changed the overall taste. No longer meets the craving. Also leave way too much boiling sauce in an unsealed container which resulted in burning.

I had noodles and pork and teriyaki chicken. Noodles were ok but pork was very greasy and teriyaki chicken was hard. My wife had noodles and broccoli and enjoyed her meal. We ate about 7 and I believe the meat was probably sitting all day on the pan. It was obviously not fresh. Note to self...don't eat Chinese food unless it's cooked fresh. Price was ok for the 2 orders. Dissatisfied with the pork and chicken.

It's greasy mall Chinese food, so you can't really expect much from it. I got a two item combo with the spicy bourbon chicken, broccoli & beef, and split fried rice & chow mein. The spicy bourbon chicken was actually pretty good with lean chinks of meat and a healthy dose of spice. Everything else was medeocre - sub-par, with the rice and noodles bringing everything down. A Chinese place should have decent fries rice, nuff said. $8 for a meal is a bit steep (including a small soft drink) but it's not totally unreasonable.

Although it might come across as a knock-off to Panda Express, and I see the resemblance, I was satisfied with the Chinese food here. In some ways it is better than Panda Express. I enjoy coming to the Imperial Valley Mall, but I find the food court to be pretty small. There are like 8 venders, but three of them seem to focus on some variant of Chinese food. This place had the longest line, so I chose here. I ordered a to-go plate with 2 entrees. For my side, I chose the fried rice, which I was satisfied with. I got the mushroom chicken and orange chicken for the entrees, which would be my order at Panda Express. The mushroom chicken was my favorite here, but I was pleased with the other two options as well. The mushroom chicken is better than Panda Express, though. The fried rice was stickier than what I am used to, but it was still good. The service was also great. They have this system where they keep the trays on top of food's holding area, which I found to be a nice touch. The tray also has a fork and a napkin, so you don't have to go back to the counter when you forget those things. I wish that was implemented everywhere. Haha I don't know there names of the people who work there, but they were helpful. If I'm back at this mall, I will definitely check it out again.
