After craving Chinese for a few days, I decided to check out Taipei Express while in Charlotte.Based on the glowing reviews, I was expecting some amazing food.However, this was not the case.I ordered the chicken with broccoli and fried rice.It came out pipping hot, and I dug in! Unfortunately, the chicken was super dry, and the rest of the vegetables lacked flavor and umph.Also, there wasn't a lot of sauce.The rice was tolerable, but it just wasn't much without the chicken and vegetables.The meal overall left me and my stomach wanting more. Three stars for the great customer service.If only the service could match the food!

Hi Chandra, Thank you for the feedback.We're so sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your food.Based on the pictures you uploaded, it looks like we did not give you chicken with broccoli but rather flower chicken (a dish with lighter flavors and a white sauce.We'd love to make this right for you next time you're in town!
The food is decent.Flavor wise it’s the best tasting flavors for Chinese food that I’ve had in Charlotte so far, but it’s extremely salty and the freshness is not always there.The wontons were extremely chewy and stale the noodles that come with the soup were stale as well.The food doesn’t always taste fresh.This place definitely has potential to be a great restaurant if they stepped up the quality because the flavors are really good
