Asia express — Restaurant in Newark

I’m quite shocked how much food they gave me after all of the Chinese takeouts I’ve been too! It’s no wonder that this place has received higher ratings. This plate I have can get you full in no time unless you share it or save up for dinner later. The food here is even tasty. That two-item combo costs around $13!

I heard that this restaurant also serves à la carte, but you can also go through fast-food style like what I had today. Place wasn’t really big but the seating area in a way stands out. You can probably wait there until your order is ready. Also, I was scrolling through the foods from the display. Seems that many people ate here during lunch while I came here for dinner. Doesn’t seem that they have plenty of options from the display for combo orders, but that’s alright.

Honestly, I thought that the Spicy Orange Chicken would be very spicy, but gladly, it isn’t. I was hoping that I don’t end up drinking too much water from severe spiciness. I have tried the regular Orange Chicken from a similar place, but didn’t like it.

This will be one of the favorite Chinese takeouts I will go to for now on. Looking...

It's obvious why this place is so highly rated. If you've eaten Chinese food in California since you were a kid, like I have, this is the classic experience. It's kind of set up like a Panda Express, so depending on when you go in, the food may have been sitting there for a little while but it's still good.

The menu section is exceptionally large, offering specials, combos, and a wide variety of soups that you typically don't find at most takeout Chinese restaurants. With that said, the portions are huge, something you've become accustomed to when getting California Chinese food. Food. Can expect the kind of plate that your mother delivers to you right after she questions if you've been getting enough to eat.

I actually would have given this place five stars, but when I got my takeout home, it was missing one crucial thing that really completes the experience. Experience. I didn't get any...

As I opened up my plate—packed to the brim with chow mein, orange chicken, and sweet & sour chicken—I was nearly blinded by the golden sparkle of the orange chicken. Unfortunately, in my awe of the orange chicken, I found a short, type 2A strand of hair. I knew this couldn’t have been mine because I have long, thick, luscious, nearly curly hair (somewhere between 2C and 3A). I pulled that jawn out of my food and kept it pushing.

I’m not one for formalities, so I was able to move past this. It’s up to you to decide if you’d do the same. Aside from this mishap, the food was deesh, and the service was even better. Will...
