Chinatown Express - Monterey Park — Restaurant in Monterey Park

The place looks fairly clean and organized. The atmosphere felt inviting but not all food items were available as of 7:20 p.m. last night. The portion size even though it looks abundant was below average. I paid about $10.80 for a one item combo after taxes and other fees. Everything was pretty oily even for these kinds of take out, heat lamp places, and I wish this food was a little hotter. I don't know if those lamps were working but the food was certainly not kept at the correct temperature. Their chow mein was oily but it had at least a good and pleasant, white pepper flavor to it (no wok hai or scallions unfortunately). Their fried rice was also oily but bland. Their spicy beef with zucchini and mushrooms with flavorful, but again, temperature wise lukewarm plus felt like it had been sitting there for a while--and again, extremely oily, but I asked for no gravy. They provided that sriracha sauce in sachets, which is pretty salty and has almost no acid component to it (but that was okay cuz the food wasn't too salty at least), and good quality soy sauce as condiments. Overall, if you need something quick it's not a bad place but I don't think I'll be back. They also charge a $0.75 transaction fee if you don't pay...

I ordered combo A (one item) and had the orange chicken w white rice and chow mein but I changed my mind after I seen they had coconut shrimp. Plus I did notice a sign that said extra $1 so I had them add the shrimp. When they gave me the total I noticed it was way higher than I thought, so I asked why, they explained they charged me combo B (two items) plus $1 extra for the coconut shrimp. I didn't like the charges because it was as if they charged me for Combo C (three item) just because of the shrimp! On the other hand my daughter was not pleased with their teriyaki chicken and after all that going back and forth w the employees about the shrimp it was not worth it after all. So eventually my daughter and I didn't like our experience here. Not sure if Ill be...
