Ordered takeout for a birthday for 4 people and the plates were massive, we had an insane amount of leftovers - we got Sweet and sour pork Honey Walnut Prawns Szechuan beef And cashew Chicken Sweet and sour pork was my favorite and the prawns are double the size of Panda Express. Definitely our favorite local spot read more

I had a craving so stopped by to get some walnut prawns. OMG. They were great. Big portions, great service. I have already been back later in the week. read more

I'm quite shocked how much food they gave me after all of the Chinese takeouts I've been too! It's no wonder that this place has received higher ratings. This plate I have can get you full in no time unless you share it or save up for dinner later. The food here is even tasty. That two-item combo costs around $13! I heard that this restaurant also serves à la carte, but you can also go through fast-food style like what I had today. Place wasn't really big but the seating area in a way stands out. You can probably wait there until your order is ready. Also, I was scrolling through the foods from the display. Seems that many people ate here during lunch while I came here for dinner. Doesn't seem that they have plenty of options from the display for combo orders, but that's alright. Honestly, I thought that the Spicy Orange Chicken would be very spicy, but gladly, it isn't. I was hoping that I don't end up drinking too much water from severe spiciness. I have tried the regular Orange Chicken from a similar place, but didn't like it. This will be one of the favorite Chinese takeouts I will go to for now on. Looking forward for more! read more

Update: We tried 2 different food selections. Won Ton soup and beef chow fun. Won Ton Soup - 4/5 The broth was tasty, not overly salty. The pork won ton didn't have the firmness that I would have liked. It was more on the soft side. Taste wise, it was good. Just the softness of the pork filling needed to be more firm. I loved that the soup included shrimp, char sui, and Bok Choy. For the won ton filling, maybe mixing the shrimp and pork together might make the filling more firm and more delicious. Overall, I liked the won ton soup. I would order this soup again. Beef chow fun - 4/5 This noodle selection was good. The chow fun noodles were darker than I expected, probably due to the soy sauce that was mixed in for taste. The onions mixed in wasn't overwhelming, and blended well with the chow fun noodles. I wish there was more flavor from a well seasoned wok that infuses in the chow fun that I've tasted at other Chinese restaurants. But I liked their chow fun, and would order it again too. I am happy with selections that we chose. You get enough to share, and the price is reasonable. I would recommend giving Asian Express a visit for your Chinese's food fix. read more

Been coming here for years, portions are generous. I wanted combo plate but didn't want anything from the steam table because I wanted just broccoli in oyster sauce and they were very accommodating. Food is good and always fresh and hot. The egg foo young is huge and i loved the gravy! Great friendly service. Small inside with no dine in option. Great place to come for grab n go as they're really fast here. read more

@ Newark Square 5672 Thornton Ave Newark, CA 94560 "Asia Express" is the place to go for Chinese fast food in Newark, CA. Takeout only, no table service. This is a small place that serves up tasty foods both from a hot steam table and "cook to order" special menu items. This was my first time at Asia Express. I noticed they do some things better than other places- - They wrap your order in a plastic bag to prevent spillage. - offer condiments and utensils free - the server offered me fresh rice if I wait - discount for paying in cash I didn't want to wait, so I just ordered from the steam table: -chow mein -pork riblets -kung pao chicken This place has big servings! The whole time the young lady was scooping food into the takeout tray, I was thinking...."how are you going to close that lid with so much food in it?" All the food was tasty and fresh. The chow mein wasn't at all greasy. I was there at 7pm, Tuesday evening, and they were pretty busy. Good food, at a fair price, and large servings. Free parking in Newark Square. read more

I love the Chinese Fast Food spot! Been coming here since 2016. This place is affordable! Large plate portions!

It was as good as I expected! I saw a YouTube video from 3 months ago by eatlikeanapex where he went to this takeout place in Newark. It looked delicious so I went there this afternoon around 4 pm. There was only one customer in front of me when I arrived, but when I left a crowd of at least 6 customers were patiently waiting behind me. I felt guilty for ordering so much! I ordered a total of 4 Regular Combo boxes w 2 additional items each, $11.99 per box. Considering how they overstuffed the boxes this is a deal! I had half/half fried rice/chow mein. Jalapeño chicken was not too spicy and the batter was light. Black bean pork riblets Orange chicken Beef w broccoli Popcorn chicken It was so much food I could only eat half. Eating a side order of jalapeño chicken for the drive home contributed, man it was delicious. When I mentioned the YouTube video to the nice lady behind the counter she immediately remembered and even said the items that eatlikeanapex ordered! Excellent customer service! Parking: free, big pot w plenty of spaces. It's not visible from Thornton Ave. though, look for Taco Bell and head towards the back of the lot and it'll be on the left end of the row of shops. Inside, it's small and you'll immediately see the buffet display. And if you pay cash there's a discount. This place is a hidden gem! read more

I can't believe I have never written a review for this wonderful place. It's a small to-go orders, everything is so delicious, my favorites being orange chicken, kung pao chicken, rice, soups to order just about anything can't go wrong. They greet you with a smile. We have been fans of cute place for years. It's certainly our place for Chinese food read more

I was debating whether I should put ONE star (for charging a credit card fee) or FIVE stars as my review -- so first, just an FYI: their prices are for CASH ONLY however, they do accept Credit Card as payment but they charge YOU a percentage fee for using card. My bill was probably approx $250 but after taxes and credit card fees, my grand total was $300. Here's what I bought: Medium tray of Chicken Fried Rice $60 (I wish there were more veggies added to this - like bag of frozen mixed veggies to give it more color), Medium tray of Combo Chow Mein $65 (came with chicken, BBQ pork, and shrimp) - it was good, 30 pieces of Veggie Eggrolls ($1.75 each) so approx $53 - not bad but I wouldn't reorder, and Medium tray of Salt & Pepper Spare Ribs $75 with slices of jalapeño - this was the best and so good! I'd definitely reorder that. The customer service was excellent. The woman working carried each tray and placed them in my trunk. She gave me two sauces (sweet and sour and spicy chili) and included a few packets of soy sauce. There was a basket of fortune cookies but she didn't offer me to take any nor pre-pack a bagful of fortune cookies for me to take to my party. It was my first time ordering with them. I would come back and give them another chance. However, I would consider other options due to cash only vs credit card fee pricing -- especially when I'm hosting a party. Location is located right next to O'Sullivans. read more

Ugh, I want to gatekeep so bad, but I shouldn't, because this place deserves a lot of love and recognition. A quick fix for Chinese food should be accomplished here. The place is small and is really for take out. But the food is delicious! I got a spicy orange chicken. Although it was not very spicy at all, the sauce was terrific. My plate also included jalapeño chicken (hella good) and vegetable chow mein. The chow main noodles were long and chewy and not overly greasy. Sometimes chow mein is too oily but theirs is just right. They pile the food up pretty high in the to go plate, so much so that I ended up just sharing with my partner. And the prices, superb! Although I'm afraid they might raid them if more people start finding out about this place. I'm coming back again and again to get quick, hearty and really good Chinese take out. Well done Asia Express! read more

Appreciate this restaurant and the woman working. My 6 year old wanted a two item but we only ordered him 1 item, and the lady had added some broccoli which would have been his second option. Super nice of her. And instead of buying can drinks, we decided to buy a two liter and the lady had given us some cups. I say all this to say, they go above and beyond for their customers. They pack the containers with food, and the food is overall really good. Thank you! read more

In the past I have gone there several times to get food and they were good. Last night I got combo fried rice and Mongolian beef - the rice was good but the Mongolian beef was bad. It was very very bad. We threw it away. There was a bit of rancid smell. I called them up today. Here is the weird thing. They said to bring back the food and they will see what they can do with it. That is horrible response. Especially since I have been going there regularly for 2 years and the lady knows me. That is cheap. read more

This review is to highlight the great tasting food at Asia Express in Newark Ca . I ordered a 2 item combo with broccoli beef and king pao chicken which were both very good , I received fried rice and chow mein as sides. The food was very tasty and well worth the price. I highly recommend this small takeout restaurant for a quick meal. read more

Great place in Hayward. Huge servings. The fried rice was very flavorful. The white rice actually tasted good. Really surprised there was orange chicken and spicy orange chicken. The sweet and sour pork was sweet and not overly breaded. They teriyaki chicken was good. The beef and broccoli was typical good and flavorful. The server was friendly and smiley. Cute place inside but no tables to eat at. read more

I ordered the eggplant and tofu, green beans and egg foo young the food was delicious a little on the greasy side. It all costs me $62 on the high side for Chinese cuisine. would I pay that much again hell no! Not for Chinese food Would I patronize it again yes because they also had combination plates that's what's 11.99 what I bought was separate and full order! Otherwise the food was good. I loved the eggplant and tofu. I just had to pour some of the grease off of it. I recommendedpour the grease off ,it's really flavorful. I didn't get to taste it, but he seemed to like the combination plate. My son like therice. I didn't get to taste it, but he seemed to like the combination plate. He said it wasn't St. Louis, but it was the closest thing here in California that taste good eating Chinese fast food so give it a try. read more

Just the name of this place sounded like it would be quick and easy for a late night dinner after my run on Thursday. And I was right. Loved the colorful umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, along with a plush sloth sitting on the ledge, adding to the random and quirky decor. Staff was super friendly, too. I ordered veggie and chicken egg rolls, and the honey walnut prawns rice plate online in advance, arrived early, and waited as they prepared everything. It took 15 minutes (exactly as quoted). I later found that they forgot the rice that was supposed to go with the seafood rice plate I ordered... ummm, that's an important part of the order, even if not a pricey item. Too bad I was already home when I discovered that I only got the prawns a la carte. An honest mistake I'm sure, and I was able to make my own rice at home, so not a big deal. Though I do prefer to get what I paid for when visiting restaurants (or any business), so I think it's worth noting. I enjoyed my meal nonetheless. The prawns were super plump and not overloaded with sauce. And the egg rolls were full of tasty ingredients, and perfectly crisp on the outside, with the packaging clearly labeled to indicate which one was chicken vs veggie. The ladies here were so nice, and my experience was overall good, so even though they didn't exactly get my order right, I'm still giving them 4 stars. read more

They have good list of veg food - it's tasty.. for some reason I couldn't get over the mild fish smell but was okay .. delivery was quick.. looks like mom/pop restaurant, owner is friendly.. more like 3.5 but will go there one more time to get another veg dishes... read more

This is hands down my favorite place for their Orange Chicken and Chow Mein. They offer multiple options from a la carte in various sizes to 1-item or 2-item plates with choice of chow mein, rice, or half and half and, another fave, a sampler with minis (8oz) of four items. There's a fridge stocked with drinks. This is take out only, no seating. Staff is always friendly. Ample parking is available. read more

Food was very bland. I didn't think it was possible to mess up sliced BBQ pork but this place hit the nail on the head! Sweet & sour sauce had no flavor and the chinese hot mustard wasn't even hot! The kung pow beef was the worst I've ever had. This was my 3rd time here as I've had tasteless food from here before. I was hoping the cooks and or recipes might have changed. The food looks appealing but lacks any flavor. I would not recommend. read more

You get a good portion of food for the price, super delicious too. Definitely recommend if you want a little bit of everything in one plate

Good value for what you get $17 will get you a sampler kind of thing . Friendly staff . Very clean and quick

Ok, so this isn't high end Chinese, but it's good. The prices are decent, and you receive huge amounts of food. I can make two to three meals out of their one item combo depending on how hungry I am. My favorite is their Chow Mein. When I was a kid we would always go to a local Chinese restaurant and they had the best, most flavorful Chow Mein. Since then, I haven't found anyplace that makes it as good. While their Chow Mein isn't as good as the place we used to go to, it's a close second. The noodles have a good chewiness to them, and the dish is flavorful. They are awesome cold too. So many places have really bland Chow Mein, but not Asia Express. I usually do the Mongolian Beef and Rice item on their menu, but I sub Chow Mein for the rice. The Mongolian Beef is pretty tasty. I like that they give you a lot of beef instead of a massive amount of veggies and barely any protein like other places. It has a good kick to it, and the meat is tender. There was only one time where the meat had a lot of gristle, but that seemed to be a one off sort of thing. Every other time I haven't even come across any gristle. I have also had the Honey Walnut prawns, which are tasty. They do have a huge amount of batter on them though, and they could use a little more sauce. Otherwise, the shrimp has always seemed fresh. No fishy smell, and they remove the black vein! I know you can eat the vein but it grosses me out. I find a lot of Chinese restaurants don't remove it, so that's a huge win in my book that they do. The pot stickers are ok. They could be a little more flavorful, and have a better meat to dumpling wrapper ratio. And the chicken egg roll is pretty good. It's sometimes a bit on the oily side, and it isn't always consistently good. All in all, if you want a large amount of Chinese food, at a decent price that is tasty, then this place fits the bill. Plus with their combos that they offer a single person can get Chinese food without breaking the bank, and having too many leftovers around. You will definitely have leftovers, but not like you would if you had to order each dish separately. Definitely give it a try. read more

I really love this hole in the wall place when I want some affordable comforting Chinese food. This is a take out only spot no dining in. You can order a combo box or order full service g of food.

This is one of my Go-To spots when I just want some solid Chinese food. Nothing fancy, super tasty and really quick. I LOVE the Egg Chow Fun. It's one of my favorites to order along with their Combination Fried rice. I like to get the sesame chicken (though it can be sweet) and the Mongolian chicken. Some things that I tend to stay away from because they have better items are the Cashew Chicken and the soups. But overall love the staff and the food. There's usually a line during peak times but it's worth it! Call ahead if you don't want to wait too long. read more

Large quantities. Flavors could have been better. Veggie fried rice could have used more veggies. Eggplant tofu tasted like they used old oil and flavors were bland. Broccoli beef also somewhat bland tasting. Could use more flavors to enhance the dishes. read more

Food was bland overall. Got the mixed vegetables and fried rice, as well as some chicken wings. The chicken wings had a ton of breading on them and were bland inside. The only thing positive I would say is the service. read more

Great food, great prices. We get take-out from here all the time and it's always consistently tasty.

I walked in, and immediately felt comforted. Maybe it's because I associate places like this to my grandfather. Allison was so welcoming and kind. She helped me choose different dishes to take for dinner with my family. I ended up getting the takeout plates. One plate I chose the chow mein that was on display, spicy orange chicken and sweet and sour pork. Everything was great! The spicy orange chicken wasn't spicy at all, more peppery if anything. I just love sweet and sour pork, the meat was very melt in your mouth good. The second dish had fried rice and honey walnut prawns! They were so yummy, it was on a bed of cabbage with mayo(?) but anyways the balance was great. The shrimp was large and juicy. Will definitely be back again for a pick me up. Thank you! read more

I've been looking for decent take out since I moved to the area. Took a chance on this place hoping it would be worth it. Walked in to see lots of what appeared to be freshly made food in the display window. Looked at the menu and ordered. One plate was the basic one-item option. The second order had to be made to order. We added two veggie egg rolls. After about 10 minutes we were walking out with our food. The food was so good that we both ate everything. Chow mein has thick noodles. Sweet and sour was tender and sweet. Vegetable chop suey and rice was delicious. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. I know a place now...It's a win win. read more
