Asian Express — Restaurant in Chincoteague

Origunal Post from 2019 The Good: Staff is very friendly! The Restaurant is very clean in the eating area as well as the kitchen. This tends to be an issue at many Chinese restaurants but not here.

The Not So Good: finding the right Chinese restaurant can be a total crapshoot. Some Chinese restaurant served what is called authentic Chinese food which tends to be less appealing to most typical American taste. Others serve an Americanized form of Chinese food with more robust and sweet flavors that tend to be more popular. This review is based on only two visits, so in all fairness, it isn't a cross menu observation however; on both occasions we found the flavors to be sub par/very bland. The szechuan chicken was extremely bland. The fried rice as well. Both dishes were prepared well and looked fresh but simply lacked flavor. The szechuan chicken was 90% onion....it tasted like chicken in gravy

Summary: it seems to me that the chief concern with going to unfamiliar Chinese restaurants these days is the sanitary conditions. Let me put your mind at rest by saying that this place is very well kept and the food appears fresh. Unfortunately the overall taste will make it a questionable investment of time and money.

Update 5/23/25:: We have visited this restaurant several times over the years since this initial review. I'm pleased to say it has become progressively better over that period. The orange chicken and szechuan chicken is miles ahead of their earlier renditions. As with any good ownership, they've clearly listened and made adjustments. Order with confidence, this is...

This was a nice experience with a massive and diverse order. As each "cooked to order" item was ready, it was served piping hot & "family style. R3 Dragon & Phoenix was beautiful & delicious. We had 5 entrees and all sampled each other's orders. Our Sushi Sear Tuna Roll & Tiger Roll were expertly & beautifully prepared and served with fresh sliced ginger.

Most people would not watch the food prepared but I was curious & appreciated the staff's good humor & the care in preparation. One in our party, who enjoys Washigton, DC variety, said the food was some of the best she has ever had!! That is quite a statement.

The only drink options are bottled. I questioned why no hot tea was offered. This made them laugh because it is incredibly hot outside, but I like hot tea with Asian items. It is a carry out with good seating. Clean & organized.

We are local but have not experienced this place before and now feel happy to return AND recommend to others. Say hello...

I had a bad experience in this restaurant, first let me start off by saying i placed two orders of chicken and broccoli went in to pay as i was paying I have two different payment methods the lady at the register was rude off the bat , had an attitude, I payed with card and the first time she kept making it seem like I didn’t have money on my card , kept telling me their was something wrong with my card and payment didn’t go through then we proceeded to try again and it denied again and she’s laughs at me and that’s when I looked at my account and noticed I was charged the amount and she was trying to double charge me , if you ask I wouldn’t not recommend going to this rude restaurant where they laugh at you in your face and claim you don’t got money on your card. That’s not good customer service she was lucky I didn’t call health department...
