DO NOT EAT THERE!! DO TAKE OUT! The service is horrible. But the food is amazing and cheap! My boyfriend and I made the mistake of eating there, and we were so irritated about the service, but once we got our food it really didn't matter be uses the good was SO good! We had the orange chicken, low mein, and broccoli and beef. The beef was kinda fatty and was not of fan of that. The chicken was really crisp. read more

All I can say is yum. Best food I have had in a long time. This will be my go to place when I am in town.

Not the fanciest place, but the food is fantastic. Love the noodles - Singapore style noodles and beef chow fun.

This place is a must if you are looking for good service, good food, and good prices. I ordered the "bowls" it comes with an entrée and steamed rice for around $4. The food tasted great, the right amount of spice (which might be too much for some), and there was plenty of it! This place was packed at 8pm which says something about how good it is. The rest of the menu is also very reasonably priced. Of note, the staff were friendly and my take out order was correct, which seemed to be rare before coming here. The decor on the inside was lacking, but who cares, the food is cheap and good. read more

The food is pretty standard, when our group arrived around 8 30 and the restaurant is still pretty packed. Probably the best Hong Kong style cafe in metro Phoenix area. read more

The wait is a lil long when it's busy but it's worth the wait....I live there food so amazing the employees know us already that's how u know we are frequent customers yumummmy read more

This place is always poppin! My boyfriend and I are obsessed with this place (: we come here at least once a week! The staff is always so friendly to us and the food is definitely underpriced!! The coffee milk tea is fantastic! I definitely recommend this place (despite all the bad reviews) easy fast amazing Chinese food (: the general chicken and the Orange chicken is super awesome. The Lo Mein is the way to go!! read more

It's really hard to find a good Chinese place since I've been back from China. This is Hong Kong food, so it's not exactly the same, but Cantonese is pretty much what you're stuck with in America, and this place is really good for what it is. The food has good flavor and there are a lot of Canton people there all the time, so you know it's really authentic. Rice plates are the best value for your money. I really want to try the Regional meals, where it's one price for multiple dishes (family size meal) based on whatever area in China you choose. read more

Below average food, nonexistent service, and FILTHY dining room. The suction cup shower door handle that was being used as the front door handle should have tipped me off to the quality of this establishment. Please look under the tables at the two inches of black grime on the floor along the wall, and food splatters on the wall next to the table and ask yourself when this place was cleaned and why are you still sitting there. I will never go again. The wait was so long my kid was asking if I had snacks! I regret staying and eating, I was so hungry, and we even didn't get everything we ordered. read more

Food was horrible . Dumplings barely cooked with zero flavor ! My daughter ordered the wings and they were still bloody

When I'm in a quandry on what I want to eat, chinese is always at the top of my list. And the topper of that list is Asian Cafe Express or ACE as my friend Dave R and I call it. If it's your first time going there you might think to yourself, hmmm, so I order off the wall menu? They do have an expansive menu that not only has chinese food but also food from Singapore, Japan and Thai variations. I'm pretty much a simple guy to please, so chicken with vegetables is my choice. The chicken comes out tender and they use breast instead of thigh meat that a lot of other chinese places use. The vegetables still has that crunch to them and not the overdone limpness that you get at some places. The service is always excellent and quick. If you can get past the looks of the interior and just base it on the food, ACE is the Place. (I couldn't resist) read more

Economical, fast, good chinese food. Did I mention economical? You cannot beat the prices here.

When I see a shady strip mall and outdated decor, that's usually a good sign. The menu is extensive, the food is good and greatly affordable. read more

My kids, husband, and I love this place so much! Their food is delicious and authentic! We always try different dishes there since they have a large selection to choose from. I would recommend this place to everyone! read more

Great placeto eat. Atmousphere is nothing fancy but the food is awesome. I have visited several times and each time seems better than the last. Skip the first couple pages of the menu and jump to the back. The first few pages are the americanized dishes. The back of the menu has the more authentic Asian dishes. Dinner sets offer a fantastic value and lots of food. Great place for family style meal with large group. read more

Delicious and super cheap! Will absolutely be going back soon. The $3.99 bowls are such a great deal!

I go here with 3-4 other friends, get the FAMILY MEAL, you pick out 3 entre's 2 sides and it feeds us all easily with some left overs. it's also only 20 bucks. it's amazing quality and extremely cheap when you get the family meal. read more

This is the best Chinese restaurant in the valley, no question. I've been here at least 10 times, and the quality of the food is flawless every time. I usually order either the Curry Chicken Fillet over Rice or the Pork and Vegetable Soup. Service is also quick and the people are friendly. The prices are very low, so the value is incredible. read more

Great food. Just don't ever order pick up.. language barrier is too great.. they never know what I'm talking about unless I'm physically pointing at it on the menu. After 15 mins of trying to place an order, I just told her I'd go somewhere else, she responded, "ok bye" and hung up.. that's why you get 1 star. read more

Came here with friends on a Friday night. The place was packed and there was a waitlist started. Good thing part of our group was inside already eating and had reserved our seats. The food was pretty tasty and the portions were big. My friend I split a chicken bowl. It filled us both up. Our friends got other items on the menu and most of us finished our food. Just by the looks of the crowd, it doesn't look like this place would be a disappointment. You should try this place out if you're in the area. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Being from Southern CA and a sister living in the San Fran area, I have access to some great Chinese food options. Finding a great Chinese restaurant in AZ is seemingly impossible. After four years of searching, I started to give up. Through the help of Yelp, I found this place and decided to give this place a try. I pretty much get the same two items every time I'm there, combo fried rice and beef satay egg noodle soup. I will also experiment with one other item from time to time. I've never been disappointed and on average each item is only $5.00 and if it's just yourself or sharing with one other person, there will be plenty of leftovers. Great food with leftovers for $10.00! Also, I'll get Tapioca with Boba from time to time and that's great too. The service is also very good here. Always attentive to needs (like refilling water cups) and the food comes out quickly enough and well prepared. It's clear that English is a second language for the waitresses, but I've never had any problems. Yes, the place is a hole in the wall and a bit dumpy, but the food makes up for it 100 times over. The place is a bit far from me, but I do make my way out there at least once a week and I haven't gone to any other Chinese restaurant in AZ since discovering this GEM! read more

This place is really great. The menu is extensive so it takes some time to get through your first visit. The selection is wonderful. The prices are amazing for the amount of food you get. I love their potstickers! The only reason I gave them 4/5 stars is because their service can be really slow. They usually only have 2 girls working a completely packed dining room. All in all, a great place! read more

Since my last review my husband and I had been here a few times without any further issues of finding hair in our food. My husband picked this up for dinner on Friday and I've been deathly ill since about two o'clock Saturday morning. 37 hours of extreme food poisoning and counting. I'll never go back. read more

By far and away my favorite for asian food. Large menu to choose from. And they always seem to remember you there.

Best Chinese food in the valley. Service is always wonderful, and the food never lacks in quality. This is our favorite place.

Best Bang for your buck no doubt! lunch specials, come check it out.

Delicious and authentic food at very reasonable prices. The portion sizes are large and you definitely get your fill.

The best Chinese food in quality and price and service!!! 2-3x a month we eat there after church..

I've been to the Asian Cafe Express four times now and I can't help the fact that the prices are so incredibly affordable for the amount of food that you get. $10 will get you a large dish of fried rice at $5 and an entree (mongolian beef, orange chicken, beef and brocolli, etc) for $5 and change or $7 and change. The food is so good. If you're going for the ambiance, you won't find it. The restaurant is something out of the 60's 70s or 80s with plastic on most of the chairs (other than the booths). But, I could care less. I'm not really focusing on the design -- it's mostly the friends I'm with and the food I'm eating. If you're looking to spend $10 on food that will likely last you three days, it's a bang for your buck. Check it out and you'll see. read more

I come here a lot for lunch. All of the food is very good. They have both authentic and american type Chinese food (sweet n sour, orange chicken, etc). Plus the price is AMAZING! I've turned a lot of my co-workers onto this place. If you are in the Mesa/Tempe area and want some good Chinese that's cheap you can't beat this joint. read more

Cheap Homemade Chinese Comfort Food!! The price is unbeatable, selections was wide and covered most main region of Chinese Cuisines, and the flavor is spot on!! My favorite, surprisingly, is the salty fish chicken fried rice. I don't normally order fried rice in restaurant and tend to go for authentic flavors. But, this fried rice is authentic and flavorful. Their hot pot dish with tofu and fish was also a must have! I have not try it yet, but I heard you can also bring fresh seafood that you bought from the market (with recipe) to them. They will prep and cook the items for you with a small fee. Can't wait to go back for some fried rice and seafood! read more

This place is legit! Food tastes great. You get plenty of food. There is plenty of room. All at affordable prices. This people know what they are doing and it is great! They could get some larger water glasses though. read more

When I crave for shrimp fried rice, Asian Express is the place I would order. Not only that the portion they serve is large, their cooks are all chinese which makes it more authentic. read more

This is the place to go if you want chinese food. Beats your chain companies that are overpriced. Here you will get better and cheaper food. Bring your own sriracha sauce because they don't have any. read more

The best in the valley!!! Great prices, plenty of food, and an awesome staff! Authentic - Check. Great Flavor - Check. Good Pricing - Check. Staff That Actually Cares - Check. You won't find any better. read more

3 attempts to place a carryout order over the phone. Finally ended up at What-a-Burger. Why don't they hire someone who speaks engrish?

Very delicious food and reasonable prices! The Mongolian beef and Hawaiian BBQ chicken are definitely worth a try! Just wish it was closer to my home! read more

I had the large orange chicken plate with white rice yesterday and the meal was phenomenal. Truly authentic. Try it! The prices are great too! read more

This place is a must. The food here is excellent and its family owned. The place is local to mesa but the food there is amazing. By far its one of the best chinesse food i've had in the area and its very affordable with awsome portions of food. You can count on this place growing on you. read more
