China Bowl Express — Restaurant in Fountain Valley

I’ve been going in here for quite a while but i haven’t been disrespected like today i was gonna order but the server was probably having a bad day i told him one combo half and half but the guy insisted that it was me who is hard i always order the same food then i let it slide the one that pissed me off was he dump the food back like giving tantrums and what am i supposed to do let it slide well its not gonna happen im a paying customer ive been here like several times already i don’t know maybe his pissed at home or what but please if your going to work don’t pass your problems to a customer he shouted at me so what am i suppose to do offcourse to shout at him back! Im not gonna come here anymore! Before his the same guy who was pissed at a customer who was eating his a mediterranean guy i could see he just ask the same guy for extra sauce ir something and he gave a tantrums aswell i thought it was the customers fault but this guy has issues!Normally there is a lady here that serves the food and cashier aswell this guy is probably tired and not happy if his life. Stay away from...

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...

The Noodles are awesome fresh cooked but missing some spices for sure. Eggplant was delicious very well cooked, fried rice was just perfect, orange chicken is really crisp. All food cooked here is fresh. Server guy is very courteous and helpful. The only thing they need to pay attention is the bussing tables and garbage near entry outside the door and remove trash as soon as it's full. It looks dirty but don't get me wrong THE PLACE WAS CLEAN NO FLIES NOTHING but if the tables are wiped, trash is removed and the trash door is closed properly & empty boxes thrown outside and garbage outside the main door is removed. I am sure it will look pleasant. I will visit soon again to give another shot to this place but so far good is good cleaning needs attention. Come-on China Bowl earn the balance 2...
