The Take
China Express pushes the same seed-oil wok slop and sweet sauce glaze as every other strip-mall Chinese spot. The health move is steamed chicken and broccoli with sauce on the side and brown rice if they have it.
Most customers buy this to signal quick nostalgia or cheap family dinner, not actual nutrition or real Chinese cooking.
The Verdict
The kitchen defaults to the worst options for flavor and volume. Ask for white meat only, no batter, and extra steamed veggies to dodge most of the damage.
Order the steamed chicken and broccoli with sauce on the side.
