China Bowl Express

"Always delicious. Excellent portions. Reasonably priced. A small restaurant, across the parking lot from Stater Brothers, and family-owned I believe. They take pride in their food."

"If you're expecting to get a customary heaping Chinese fast food serving you will be greatly disappointed. This place used to be generous with their servings but it has really gone down through the years. The prices have gone the opposite direction though. The menu selections have remained the same. The usual favorites, sweet and sour pork, teriyaki chicken, orange chicken, pork barbecue, egg foo young are still available. There are items that are made to order also. No soup is not included with the combo meals nor egg rolls. I got the 1-item combo (A), fried pork with chow mein. Combo A is now $7.99. It was good but the food was not really fresh. I went for a late lunch, 2pm and the place was empty. I would say it is still a good bargain since you will probably pay the same amount going to a fast food. Just think, $3.99 for a hash brown at McDonald's. At least you wouldn't be sitting with the homeless hanging around at the next table. Update: 02/09/2024 serving size is smaller and service still very unfriendly. Good for last minute Chinese food."

"The food is great, portions are great. However when I came in one night, the cashier woman at the front was eating a bowl of food at the front counter... right over the displayed food in the trays that is served to customers. She wasn't even hiding it, and there were customers sitting down and eating there. If this is what they are willing to show the public, who knows what goes on in the kitchen (I peered through from outside door and saw the kitchen staff eating also). On previous occasions I have seen her on her phone and not wash her hands before serving us. While I have always liked the food, I can't risk coming back. That was gross."

"Not bad for simple tasty inexpensive Chinese food. $7.99 for 1 meat item with noodles or fried rice. Could be hotter if server stirred food in the steamer table more often but it was ok. No fountain drinks or iced tea, only canned sodas for $1.49"

"I was surprised how inexpensive and fresh the food is here. Bright, colorful veggies, lots of vegan and vegetarian selections, tasty sauces. Not too spicy or salty but flavorful and not greasy ! One item just $2.99? Four for $9.99. Big portions. I did not get sick afterwards as Chinese food often makes me feel terrible. Great find. We will be back. No athmosphere, you go here for quick take out. Only minus is that the beef was very chewy. Chicken was excellent."
