Best WLM Reviews
Asian Cafe Express is conveniently located in the same plaza as H Mart. The food here is phenomenal! The staff were really friendly. The prices were surprisingly affordable. The menu is very large and can be overwhelming, so plan accordingly.
I had the Chinese broccoli beef and it was really good. They also have an American version with different cuts of broccoli. Egg drop soup was pretty good.
Overall, I recommend this restaurant and will be returning the future. 5/5 stars!
This spot has quickly become my go-to for delicious, no-frills Chinese food. It may not be fancy, but the food is fantastic, and the prices are even better! One of the coolest things about this place is that you can buy live lobsters from the H Mart next door and bring them over to ACE, where they'll cook them for just $6.50/lb. We like to get a few lobsters and have them prepared two ways: ginger and green onion sauce, and black bean sauce--both are incredible! Don't miss out on the salt and pepper calamari--crispy on the outside and perfectly tender inside. If you have enough room, try the braised beef stew over crispy chow mein noodles.The set meal is also a steal. You can choose a soup or veggie dish (the minced beef and egg white soup is my favorite) and three entrees for $45.99. It's perfect for family-style dining, so you can sample a variety of dishes. The lack of ambience is forgiven because it's all about the food and the prices here.
Asian Cafe Express (ACE)

Today, I had an absolutely delightful and scrumptious lunch at ACE. To my sheer delight, the lovely waitress approached me and informed me that today was "James special day," and that my meal was on the house as a gesture of kindness. I was taken aback by her generosity and couldn't help but feel deeply grateful.
Despite having dined at ACE countless times before, this unexpected act of kindness truly made this visit stand out for me. I expressed my gratitude by offering her a $20 tip, but she kindly insisted on just accepting $5, emphasizing that it was more than enough.
Feeling touched by her gesture, I decided to extend the positivity by visiting Hmart next door and treating ACE to some delectable Korean/French pastries. Although the pastries ended up costing more than my FREE meal, I couldn't help but feel thankful and overjoyed for the unexpected kindness shown to me at ACE.
ACE truly excels in providing not only affordable and delicious meals but also in creating memorable and heartwarming experiences for its patrons. Today's lunch will forever hold a special place in my heart, reminding me of the kindness and generosity that exists in the world.
This is my go-to for a comfort meal. XO Fried rice, Chili salt wings, and salt/pepper whole shrimp(with head on) are my favorite 3 items. The price is cheap for a fulfilling meal (with leftovers). I will always come here every other Sat/Sun when I don’t feel like cooking. The service is great and the Chinese ladies are so nice. This really feels like your neighborhood Chinese restaurant.
Sidenote: Try their rice bowls! They have a good selection of single individual rice bowls for ~$7!! Great lunch or solo dinner option!
A good value for homemade comfort food! The beef stew with curry sauce & the mapo tofu rice dishes were plentiful and filling. The flavors hit the spot. Very friendly and fast service. Quite a lot of regulars. Surprising for such a small restaurant how many different dishes they serve. Huge variety! Clean restrooms. Crowded parking lot but if you circle enough you can find a space.
My friend Dave is a regular here and really knows how to pick the good places to eat! Amazing dumplings with chili sauce! The coffee with milk tea is a must! Make sure you get both!
I had the Hong Kong style Lo-Mein (Ginger, green onion shredded pork).
The service was great! The food was great! The company was the best!
The food is pretty good. The place is not very appealing from the exterior or interior, but it was pretty clean. The staff are very attentive. We will be back. The prices are extremely reasonable! The quality of the meat and the orange chicken was phenomenal.
The reviews had me excited! Then the food arrived and it looked great! But then we tasted it…the egg drop soup was piping hot but had a weird overly thick consistency like gravy and tasted bland. The orange chicken looked amazing but it was all dark meat which had a bunch of gristle and fat pieces! It also had a ketchup smell and taste to it…odd. The house lo mein was bland and the meat was chewy, which was really disappointing because lo mein is my absolute favorite!! And the fried rice, which was the only dish that we could actually eat, was lack luster and tasted heavily of frozen peas and carrots! On top of that everything cost more than $50 bucks! Chinese is my hands down favorite, and usually even when it’s not that good it’s still edible…that is until this place! The staff is really nice but I’m never visiting this place again ☹️
