Photo by Wendy Visser Lojik via The Crossroads Journal Business Spotlight: China Express December 5, 2014, 10:10 pmIf you've ever dined in the Ranches area of Eagle Mountain, then you are already familiar with the quaint little restaurant called China Express. The current proprietor of China Express began operations in Eagle Mountain in 2011. Owner, Jenny Yue, runs the restaurant with her son, Kevin Yue. Jenny Yue purchased the restaurant from her friend who was already operating under the name of China Express. This is not, however, Jenny Yue's first venture into the restaurant business. She has owned many Chinese restaurants throughout Utah. Chances are if you can name a Chinese restaurant in northern Utah, Jenny Yue has once owned and operated it. Yue has bought and sold many Chinese restaurants, making them successful, and then selling them. China Express serves a full menu of Szechuan and Cantonese dishes. Its chef, Chao Wu, prepares the delicious dishes (this CJ writer is a little biased and loves the food at China Express). Chau Wu has been a chef for 20 years and hails from New York where he was a chef and a Chinese-food instruc tor. All of China Express's dishes are made to order. They use fresh produce, all white meat for their chicken dishes, and make their sauces from scratch. Jenny Yue initially got into the Chinese food business twenty years ago, according to co-operator and son, Kevin Yue, because produce prices were, at the time, very low. Kevin Yue also explained that China Express has gotten very good reviews on Google, and that their desire is for China Express to be known and enjoyed by residents of the local area. For those holding events in the area, China Express offers take-out of large-portion dishes to feed many mouths hungry for great Chinese food. China Express offers take-out and delivery service for the local area (call restaurant for details). For those looking for a night out on the town, China Express has a modestly-sized, but very attractive dining room. Aside from delicious main dishes, China Express serves a wide selection of soups. With the cold weather and snow season starting in, what could be more enjoyable than to eat a large, hot, steaming bowl of Wonton soup in the comfort of this cozy little Chinese restaurant in the Ranches? Jenny Yue was born in China, has operated restaurants in Denver, Colorado, and has lived in Utah for several years. She currently resides in Lehi with her husband who is not actively involved with the restaurant. Special offer for orders over $30 recieve an order of Pot Stickers Free.
