I have eaten there for YEARS. The price of combination platters are unheard of amd more than ample serving. The best sweet and sour dishes around. The meat/poultry is acutally cooked in the sauce….it’s not just poured over it. You can’t beat it!

We have eaten there for years. My former boss used to give us $$ for lunches for the whole team! Their faves – hunan beef or hunan chicken. My fave = the hot & sour soup! No restaurant is better & I don’t know what their secret is.
One of my former co-workers from Taiwan LOVED China Express – He swore that their hot & sour soup was the BEST all around! No argument here! Best H&S soup in town – even better than PF Chang – my 2nd fave for h&s soup.
More recently friends & co-workers love the Jon-Pong,heated up with pepper to your liking. I’m not a big seafood fan so have not yet tried. I’m sure it’s fabulous if that’s your pref.

I went last for lunch week with my wife. She ordered the Jam Pong and I got one of the combo platters (shrimp Kung Pao). My platter was good (fresh, crunchy veggies and not too salty) but her soup was much better. She didn’t get the Korean style, she got the Chinese. Having lived in China for a year, she said it was pretty good and comparable to some of the ones she had there.

The “red sauce spicy” would be the addition of red chili pepper paste, as Burz mentioned in the first post, the same stuff used in the preparation of many types of kimchi. Thanks for the writeup, I didn’t know about this place and I’m out at 54/55 all the time… I’ll definitely be checking this place out.

For the quality, price and quick service, China Express has been my go-to while working in the park for going on 15 years. The hot and sour soup is the best I’ve found in the Triangle.

This place is amazing! I’ve been going there for over a year and always get the Jan Pong. They have a smaller portion for $6.99 or something like that, and it’s great for just a lunch portion. Go big or go home and try it a little spicier next time. Oh and as for the spices, Korean Spicy = similar spices to the kim chee, and Chinese Spicy = more of a hot oil (less of that “red spice” from the kim chee).

Last thing… lunches are really crowded but they have a fast turnover.
