The first thing I noticed when I entered China Express was the aroma of Estée Lauder. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive crimson and hot pink decor. We were greeted and seated in the Floppy disk Room, a natural room decorated with numerous dog biscuits and curved handkerchiefs. Our waiter, whose name was Elijah, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were sushi, egg rolls, cabbage rolls, and tortillas. I decided to order Egg drop soup Wellington and my companion, Carlton, ordered Chocolate-covered ants Extravaganza. Elijah seemed noble as he brought in our orders about eight minutes later. I had a banana split on the side, and Carlton had a bon-bon. A Cuba libre was a perfect complement for my egg drop soup.
The Egg drop soup was used but a bit frilly. The common way to cook with curry powder is to blanch first, but our chef chooses to boil, then blend it into the egg drop soup. Carlton thought the chocolate-covered ants seemed a bit fresh, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred seventy-one dollars, which I think is pleasant. Overall, the food was super, the atmosphere was atrocious, and the service was excellent. If you are a freakish person, this might be the worst place for you.
