  1. Good not great.

    I came here because the Jamaican food truck wasn't around and I was hungry.  I asked for chicken over lettuce since chicken over rice can steer you into the 1,000 calorie range.  They were quick in preparing my food and were nice.  Plus the meal, with a soda, only came to $5.  Instead of putting my chicken over the lettuce, they had the lettuce side by side with the chicken.  Whatever fine.  I also asked for some white and red sauce.  Barely any white, no red.  I'm too short to see what they were or weren't doing while I was waiting.  The chicken was very flavorful but not filling due to the small amount, also I was missing my red sauce.  The salad was good and fresh.  Overall, they're good in a hurry but the halal guy on Beaver street is way better.

  2. Xpress Yelp Review:
    – More towards the SW corner of Pearl St and Whitehall St.
    – 3 guys in green t-shirts (1 cooks, 2 prep). Looks like they're ready to move some fast orders but they move at a snail's pace
    – Upon opening the brown paper bag, the fork had a piece of hair and some dirt on it. pretty nasty.
    – 2 standard-size napkins. None of those cheap small rectangular-shaped deli napkins
    – half of the white styrofoam tray was salad. Sad face. Salad was crisp and 1 slice of tomato that was included was refreshing though short-lived (1 slice?!)
    – portions not too generous
    – cubes of chicken, orange in color, slightly dry like chicken breast. Boring in flavors. No smiles here.
    – yellow rice fairly plain but tasty, almost like basmati, a bit buttery, yum
    – asked for hot sauce. saw him put on a liberal amount but I was barely able to notice it. total disappointment
    – Why is the line always so long? The food is mediocre at best. Definitely not to my expectations for a halal cart. Blah. 1 star for XPL. You can do better than that!
