| - So, go to the 99 Ranch location if you want to try it. The service here was rude, and pretty incompetent (we ordered two entrees, to go, and after 30 minutes of waiting for Singapore noodles and curry, we were asked if we wanted one or two sets of silverware, for TWO PEOPLE with TWO ENTREES).
First of all, there's nothing "Xpress" about anything here. It's a full on sit down restaurant, very unlike the food court location on Maryland Pkwy, where I have eaten a couple of times and had good experiences. We arrived expecting a second location similar to the first, mostly take out focused.
Oops, wrong, made an ass of me and you by assuming. The name is Xpress, so that's misleading, and with a smaller menu thats all like regular take-out type food, we figured it would be a quick to-go type situation. Our order was taken by a very irritated woman, I guess she hates working there and hearing what food you want is too much, she shouted at us "NO RICE!?" because my girlfriend had just asked for a chicken curry, and hadn't asked for rice yet (who charges for rice with curry??). There were THREE whole tables of folks eating, one got their order while we're waiting, one was eating, the third got their check. 5:30-6:00pm on a Saturday, the only other dinners we saw were two more pick-up orders, and one poor guy was still waiting when we left. It's noodles and bahn mi and curry, it should not take long.
As to the food "quality", we received bland Singapore noodles with about 4 - 5 ratty little tofu pieces, and the worst curry I have eaten in a long time. The watery, palm oil filled mess was afloat with awkward and haphazardly sized hunks of what I estimate to be a big roll of tofurkey like delis use for veggie turkey sandwiches. Aside from that odd quarters of tomato here and there bobbed along a few incredibly uniform green beans (like frozen bag of beans uniform).
TLDR; pass. Veggie meats are subpar, tofurkey quality. There are better places in town for the same price without a 30 minute wait or rude service. The cashier/hostess was chatting with some business partner at the hostess stand the whole time we waited. Then the "sushi chef" came out to also have an extended, very audible conversation with this woman about how ignorant diners don't want to try his sushi because they dislike fish. "It's not fish, duh!"
Never again. I will check out the 99 Ranch spot again, maaaybe, but yeah save yourself the trouble here. It may be good if you've never had good vegan food, or good service, ever.
This was the first time food and service have been so disappointing that I've felt compelled to write a negative review. A review at all, actually. For fairness I'll leave a positive review for the other location.
