    So far best Chinese spot I’ve been in since I moved here from NY. So for starters me and my hubby can eat - we enjoy a good portion. We definitely underestimated how big their portions were- it was enough for dinner and lunch the next day! General chicken is good but I would prefer it spicier- just has a kick to it not really spicy Lo mein was flavorful and not salty - just right! Rice was mild in flavor but not bad or oily which is good. The biggest disappointment was the wonton soup. It only brought 2 small wontons all you get is broth. Was super sad about that as I cant find any places here that actually gives more wontons! Other than that you will def get a bang for your buck and food is delicious!

    Taipei Express; Beef & Broccoli with a Roll + Egg Drop & Wonton Soup ($15) There’s a quiet kind of joy in a place like Taipei Express — the kind where the staff greet you with genuine smiles and make you feel like they’ve been expecting you all along. My order was simple: beef and broccoli with a roll, plus a bowl of egg drop and wonton soup. Fifteen dollars well spent. The beef came tender, coated in a glossy sauce that struck the right balance between savory and a hint of sweet. The broccoli was bright green, crisp but cooked through, soaking up just enough flavor to keep every bite interesting. That little roll on the side — soft, warm, a little buttery — ended up being the perfect tool to clean the plate. The soup was a small comfort in itself — the silky strands of egg floating around soft wontons, the broth light but full of warmth. It’s the kind of meal that doesn’t try too hard, just quietly hits the spot. Taipei Express isn’t fancy, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s good food, kind people, and the kind of comfort that keeps you coming back.
