I love the staff and food here. Have been ordering from this restaurant for over 15 years and the food has always been amazing. Can tell they use fresh ingredients and have amazing cooks!

Spent almost 70 bucks for dinner tonight from china express 2 and it was a HUGE disappointment!!! Let’s start with the PORK EGG ROLLS… I ordered four of them .. my kids only ate the “shell” of them because the filling was nothing like they’ve ever had! Definitely wasn’t pork egg rolls. The house special friend rice I ordered with no veggies except onions and it came with about 4 tiny shrimp 🍤 almost zero pieces of pork and most of the rice was hard lots of grease. The shrimp with broccoli and garlic sauce was flavorLESS no hints of garlic at all like NONE! Also ordered boneless BBQ ribs that were dried out and very tuff! They looked really good but after one bite I had to spit it out the after taste was as if it was going bad and NOBODY wants to end up with food poisoning so that dish was a total lost! After all that money spent I could never recommend this Chinese restaurant and I’ll never return ever. Sucks when u think your getting a nice treat for your family and saving yourself time in the kitchen only to have to still whip something up at home because not one of us was satisfied! Not impressed at all. This place was once my go to spot way back in the day! However ownership changed years ago and tonight I was reminded why I STOPPED spending my hard earned money here. Fu-da on pearl street in Burlington is a much better option UNFORTUNATELY they’re closed on Wednesday!

Out of all burlington's Chinese restaurants. This is the one. One time. At this point. I had only ordered about three times delivery. And a guy who works there w
Sees me at my job. And he was delighted to ask how the food was and tell me he works there. Very nice staff. Classic lovely taste. Clearly family owned. Delievery is always on point. Picking up time is always on point. Food is always great. Love it

Fell off so hard. Used to be good. Now it is the worst in the area. General Tsos chicken was all batter with tiny little tough pieces of chicken inside. Could barely chew it. Sauce was nasty too. Honestly disgusting.

Had Singapore noodles and orange chicken combo, ordered a little late service was good and food spot on.

My son and I are in the process of visiting every Chinese restaurant in Chittenden County, VT. We always order the same thing.

I order a chicken and broccoli combo with pork fried rice and an egg roll. My son orders a sesame chicken combo with pork fried rice and beef teriyaki sticks.

Price: $29.86 or $.37/oz is expensive compared to what we would find in Chittenden County. Most Chinese takeout's allow you to exchange an egg roll for a different appetizer. In this case, we ordered beef teriyaki sticks instead of an egg roll for one of the combination meals. However, the person taking the order must have thought we ordered teriyaki sticks as a side dish, which contributed to the higher than usual price

Portion: 5.1 lbs between the two meals is generous and above average in this region.

Pros: - High traffic convenient location in Burlington.
- The egg roll was super tasty, one of the most flavorful in this region
- The pork fried rice had delicious flavor, quite remarkable
- Provided 3 fortune cookies
- Generous portions

Cons:
- They didn't provide soy sauce or duck sauce packets, napkins or utensils
- Excessive vegetable oil was used to cook the pork fried rice
- Sesame chicken recipe lacked flavor

Impression: Convenient Burlington neighborhood location in Burlington offering generous sized portions of generally good tasting food at a price a bit higher than average earning China Express 2 a review of 3.5 stars.

This is an authentic Chinese restaurant, great taste food and best price. It was cooked to the order while I was waiting. Highly recommend this restaurant. 🥡

Good portions, fast service, lots of options. The Beef and Snow peas was a bit bland, house fried rice was good and so was General Tso Chicken!
