China Chef's Express Chinese Food

This place was a huge disappointment. Saw the good reviews and thought id take a chance. Specifically went there around opening to get fresh Chinese food and instead got what looked, and tasted like the left overs from the day before. 5 mins into my meal i could not continue to eat the rest of my food. Saw that they were mixing a fresh new batch of food with the old batch that i suspected was left overs from the previous day. The chow mein tasted rubbery and dry, orange chicken was soggy and lukewarm, and the fried chicken tasted like it was reheated. The cleanliness here was also suspect. They give you a big red tray with your meal and it felt very sticky. Did not feel like it was washed. The tables were dirty and sticky at opening and visible were several grease stains on many of the tables. The customer service here was non existent. Felt like i was being rushed by the server. The cashier lady would not stop staring at me as i ate. I felt awkward and uncomfortable. This too contributed to me not finishing my meal. Ive definitely had better mom and pop chinese food. This one here is a No go for me.Beware i did not know that there current health score according to Yelp as of September 2022 was a B with 8 violations: Standard Not Met: Sewage and wastewater properly disposedStandard Not Met: Food separated and protectedStandard Not Met: Permit SuspensionStandard Not Met: Impoundment of unsanitary equipment or foodStandard Not Met: Equipment/Utensils approved; installed; clean; good repair, capacityStandard Not Met: Nonfood contact surfaces clean and in good repairStandard Not Met: Food contact surfaces: clean and sanitizedStandard Not Met: Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Chow mien was over cooked , no taste and did not taste good

Found this place last month. Best Chinese Food within a 2.5 mile radius... AND they have chili oil ?... I can't believe most Chinese restaurants in LA don't have chili oil, and think Sriracha hot sauce is perfectly fine...

I always order the spicy combination fried rice; it's always a great choice.

The restaurant is unclean and poses a health risk. I found maggots in the food, and the owners refuse to take responsibility for the situation.
