Great little bistro for Asian food. Very friendly staff and extremely clean restaurant. I recommend dine in just for the waiter/waitress experience. I just wasn’t expecting that!

We came for lunch and we’ve never been but the food was really good. It was hot tasted fresh. I got sesame chicken and my husband got general tsos and it was good. We also tried the spicy edemame and it was addicting in a good way the egg drop soup was alright

Our online order was easy enough and the presentation of the food was not bad at all. The staff was very nice as well getting our order to us. But that’s all I have to say about this restaurant when it comes to being positive. Unfortunately my hot and sour soup tasted like I was drinking ocean water with how salty it was. The general tso’s chicken we ordered had hardly any flavor and my sesame chicken that I ordered barely had flavor at all. The lemon chicken seem to be the only decent dish we ordered. Even the beef fried Rice’s beef tasted off. This will be the only time we ever go back to this place, we definitely won’t be going back again.

Good/average Chinese food. It’s a slightly modern take on Chinese cuisine.

I am currently on a quest to find Chinese Food that meets what I am looking for as I get settled in New Braunfels, TX. What I found here in the case of Taipei Express was at best a complicated array of items to review as I found myself asking “Do I like this? Do I not? This is good. This is not.” And you get the idea, so here we go on this review. For the record, I would have liked to rate this a 3.75, but three is the only option and I do not feel that I’d put my stamp on a “4 star”.
I started with the “As Delivered” photos as I always do, but in this case, I elected not to take the time to plate the order like I traditionally do. As a result, I am going to try to get this out in an organized fashion where each item is addressed. The first three photos are your basic “It looked like this in the bag” and they did a fantastic job of making sure this was packaged well. The materials were not cheap, but neither was the delivery charge, but that I completely understand as this was not your average garbage Styrofoam. Well done on this. From here, I’m going to hit on each item…
First on deck is the Wonton soup and I have mixed feelings on this as it is a favorite soup of mine. The soup did arrive hot, but the Wontons I found to be slightly undercooked in comparison to other soups that I have had. I did not finish it. On the positive side of things, the broth flavor was excellent and so was the quality of the meat. Not a single complaint there. The chiffonade cut on the produce was annoying and got tangled up as I tried to mix it with the Wonton for an even bite. Flavor was good though.
Next on the chopping block I will quickly address the Chicken Fried Rice, the Steamed Rice, and the Egg Roll. I found the Chicken Fried Rice to be a bit oily and was found wanting looking for Chicken and only encountered one piece of egg. The steamed rice was good, and I enjoyed it much more than the Chicken Fried Rice. Bottom line is that I don’t want a film in my mouth when I’m eating. The Egg Roll. Really good. Cooked perfectly and the taste was great! Well done!
The Pot Stickers left me confused as to whether I received Steamed or Fried. It seemed like a combination of both, but much like the Wonton Soup, things seemed a bit doughy to me, and for that reason I cannot say that I was satisfied with this item. I expected crispy as I did not request steamed. End of story there. Meat quality once again was excellent. Sauce was okay. Scallions maybe?
Now for the Entrée’s which consisted of Kung Pao Chicken and Beef and Broccoli. Quality of the meats was excellent, and I stop there. Flavor was some of the best on the Beef and Broccoli, but the Kung Pao was lacking in any amount of heat and when a drop hits my counter and the color is of oil and there is no heat, I am left to gather that the oily taste I have in my mouth is not from the oils of the pepper itself. Disappointing for what I hoped might be a dish with some semblance of heat. Since online did not allow me to specify, I cannot speak to other than my initial trial of this meal. The Beef and Broccoli was also oily, but at least I was able to eat most of that if you consider half of the tray.
Final Thoughts:
I can be picky, but I’ve eaten a lot of Chinese Food from all over the country. I personally think that things should not only be cooked correctly to provide the desired texture, but also taste like I was not provided a bottle of Olive Oil or any other type (of oil) as a side to garnish my meal with. For these reasons I rated low as I got sick from the oil and found myself very disappointed over what was almost a $70 dinner bill with delivery. I did order on a weeknight though so… maybe a contributing factor??

This place is okay….definitely not fantastic, but not horrible either.
The food is about as tasty as frozen Chinese food, reheated in the microwave. Edible, but not what I want to experience at a restaurant.
The restaurant is super clean and has a very nice dining space.
It has a fast food restaurant feel….if McDonald’s sold Chinese food
Styrofoam cups, iced tea, slushies, etc. Lots of choices, but nothing unique.
One really off putting thing is their over use of yellow food coloring….it is in their sweet n sour sauce and their egg drop soup….really gross when I realized how much food coloring I was eating! Don’t get it on your clothes…. Stains!! It stains your fingers too…just beware.
Great start to a great restaurant that simply falls short.
Cucumber in sweet n sour chicken? Oddly it was okay.

A friend and I came to Taipei Express for lunch, and I wanted to write this review for Jasmine. She was soo friendly, always smiling, and had such a great attitude (rare nowadays lol). She was super helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s always nice to be greeted with genuine kindness and positive energy in today’s world. Thank you, Jasmine, for making our visit extra enjoyable!!

The food we got tonight was just absolutely horrible. The general tso chicken tasted like burnt plastic, the orange chicken lacked in flavor and the triple delight only had one shrimp in the combo.
The dinner portions are very small.
