A small family run take-out kitchen of delicious indulgence. Fast service. Great combo lunch deals week days before 3pm. I have to admit. This little restaurant is too convenient when Im lazy and hungry. Crab Rangoon a fav. Veggie soup too. Serving size always w leftovers. Everything delish. Try it! read more

I love this spot, great family business with delicious food. Don't miss out on the daily lunch special

Over four years since my last review, we're still enjoying the consistently fresh and good food at Asian Kitchen Express. Now that we're beyond the pandemic, we order and pick up instead of having it delivered, and it's still the same tasty food as we first discovered in 2020. Our most recent order included General Tso's Chicken (still my husband's favorite, which he said this time was sweeter and not as spicy as when he's had it before), and Ham Egg Foo Yung (mine, and it was good, but I do wish there was a little more seasoning either in the patty or the gravy -- it was blander than I'm used to from other places). I called in the order at dinnertime on a Friday night, and it was ready in 15 minutes as promised. I call that a huge win! We're so lucky to have this place close to home. read more

I don't usually write reviews right after finishing a meal, but this one really stayed with me. I've been working through the holidays in the service industry, and it's been exhausting in every sense. Long days, little rest, barely any appetite, I've mostly been getting by on whatever was quick at work. After finally making it through New Year's, I decided to stop and pick up something on my way home. I called my order in and was quoted 15 minutes. The woman on the phone was kind and welcoming. When I arrived a little earlier than expected, my order was already ready. The restaurant was bright and clean, and the gentleman at the counter was so helpful. After the week I'd had, that interaction alone meant a lot. When I got home, my food was still piping hot and carefully packed. You could taste the freshness of the ingredients, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared, like someone actually cared about what they were sending out the door. This meal was exactly what I needed. I'll absolutely be back. This place truly deserves the business. read more

Order from here almost weekly. Very solid food for what you pay. Everything is fresh and made asap. Can't complain.

The restaurant is clean, the staff were friendly and the food was fresh, hot and delicious.

100% solid 4 star. Service was fast and friendly. Only to-go location. I will say, it was a bit steep on pricing but the quality they give and the portion sizes they give were well worth the shot. I'd personally hold off of the potstickers as they were a bit too greasy. Everything else was pretty tasty. The meat wasn't questionable and rather tasty. -crab rangoon (3/5) -chicken lo mein (4/5) -beef kung pao (4/5) I enjoyed it but recommend going to their lunch specials which are before 3pm. (It was close to 4:00 for me :/ ) read more

10/30/21 - Asian Kitchen is a fairly new restaurant in my neighborhood. It's located in a strip mall on the east side of Cicero just north of Devon Ave. They have a nice selection of Chinese food & its conveniently located. That being said they are a mainly a carry out restaurant w/a couple of tiny tables. For us it's kind of conveniently located not too far from the house. We ordered 2 dishes the shrimp egg foo young & fish fillet. The shrimp egg foo young came w/large shrimps & was pretty good. The fish fillet was ok but nothing special. They also tossed in a couple of complimentary egg rolls w/the order. read more

Asian Kitchen Express is my go-to place for Cantonese-style dishes on the North Side. Having previously lived in California where Chinese food is fantastic, the food at Asian Kitchen Express definitely satisfies my cravings. read more

I ordered a Large Orange Chicken just to try it out and it was delicious! I just wish the chicken was a little more crispy hence the 4 stars but overall it was good. I ordered it on their website which was really straightforward and the service was fast! I would order from them again if given the chance. read more

It's difficult to write a review for me after only one visit, unless there was something incredibly noteworthy or if the experience warranted some type of heads up for the Yelp community. Nee how ma (Hello) Asian Kitchen Express, there was that distinct Cantonese taste that reminded me of the type of cooking that I grew up on and it triggered a lot of fond memories. Thank you for that, sincerely, Xie xie. It's certainly different from Sichuan or Fukien style, so this was awesome!! Not that those styles are any less or better. The shrimp egg foo young...it was light, fluffy and plump - with huge shrimps and a sauce that's similar to what you would have on a moco loco (Rainbows). If this quintessential dish is wrong, that's a deal breaker for me, so my meal was off to a good start!! The pad Thai with beef, shrimp and chicken - that was weird and it was a protein overload but it still tasted authentic in that, the cooking didn't deviate from how it should taste. I'll probably just stick to chicken, next time around. The Mongolian beef was loaded with beef and tasted very very good. A nice ratio between veggies and beef. Now the crab Rangoon was the biggest surprise for me, there were many and all were stuffed with cream cheese - a pure delight!! Finally, their lunch specials also apply on Saturdays and Sundays, so I will be back for sure. read more

As of a few weeks ago this storefront has changed hands yet again. The carryout continues to be a fast food Chinese carryout and unless you carefully looked into one of their darkened windows and saw the new signage, you would think you are buying food from the previous restaurant Go Go China. The inside of the carryout looks as if the old owner walked out leaving everything intact. Like their neon signage offering Thai food and sushi. However, the Asian Kitchen only offers a couple Thai dishes and no sushi. This new company hit the scene fast launching a website (with viewable menus) from the start. Although there isn't much description of entrees given. When I entered I was accompanied by one of their workers that had returned from picking up food for his lunch break. Guy came in with a bag of McDonald's, sat down and started to eat. (Management should consider the action. Employees taking up dining room space eating food from competitors.) The whole place was smelling like fast food. The smell marketing started to work in favor of Mcd's, because I thought about leaving and visiting a local grill by me. Instead, I weighed the options of fresh vs fast food and ended up staying. Put in an order for potstickers, shrimp fried rice and a special plate of three ingredient Mongolian. I added a special request of everything spicy. Food was ready in about 25 minutes. How was it? The shrimp fried rice had an ample serving of large shrimp pieces and the potstickers were super doughy with a forgettable filling inside. All in all it was an average tasting experience. For strip mall fast food Chinese they are priced like the average stand-alone, sit down restaurant. However I am not seeing or tasting the value of the spend. For those that are like.. eh, what does he know. For that thirty something dollar spend, my carryout bag was heavy with foods. You may enjoy that feature. read more

Nothing extraordinary but food is always good and they have a wide variety of choices. Salt and pepper fish fillet is one of my favorites along with their noodle dishes. Portions are fair and it is easy to park. read more

Food tastes excellent and customer service is top notch. No need to season the food anymore than it is. Very fresh and tasty.

Tasty food made well and quickly. Have been looking for a new go-to Asian food restaurant since moving to the area, and not disappointed.

Receiving a menu in the mail and then seeing the many positive Yelp reviews told us it was time to give AKE a spin. Ordering online through SlickMenus was a snap. Online coupons were offered and we opted for a free order of crab Rangoon. The estimated delivery time (on a Saturday evening) was 55-65 minutes, but happily our order arrived in just 25 minutes. Their carryout packaging, with entrées in sturdy see-thru containers, was above average. The Missus and I shared a large hot & sour soup. Loaded with tofu, white meat chicken, mushrooms and other goodies, this was superb and the "hot" was within our comfort range. The egg rolls were not the least bit greasy and the filling was very good, but the wrap was overly thick. The crab Rangoon was possibly the best I've ever had; 6 crispy wontons bursting with a generous amount of crab and cream cheese mix. We shared two entrées. The shrimp with peapod ($11.50 for a huge portion) had freshly prepared jumbo shrimp amid a ton of crunchy peapods in a garlicky sauce. A container of white rice was included. Combination pan fried noodles (large, $10.95) was our only disappointment. The noodles were packaged separately to prevent them from getting soggy--a plus--but the accompanying stir-fried meats and veggies were overcooked and bland. We had to drench this in soy sauce. Next time, we'll try some spicier dishes. read more

Got there Menu in the mail the other day & decided to give them a try. 4 Stars for not having Chinese Broccoli. I ordered 30 min prior to closing. But everything still came fresh. I ordered the Salt & Pepper Shrimp (which was well seasoned and not too salty), Jumbo Shrimp Fried Rice (pretty good), Beef Broccoli (beef was good and broccoli was crunchy), Beef Chow Fun (good amount of meat & noodles). Almost forgot about the Ma Po Tofu with ground pork (really good tofu will definitely order this again). The Crab Ragoons & Egg Rolls i would not order again. But, overall, there food was pretty good. read more

Definitely, ordering again! I haven't seen pineapples, green peppers, and tomatoes in a sweet and sour sauce in years. The Mongolian beef was excellent, and all the dishes had fresh ingredients. read more

Spaghetti noodles with a sliver of meat. Potstickers are ok but never again. Took an hour and a half for delivery

Omg this place is great. The noodles taste fresh and the pot stickers are massive..actually all the portions are huge. The food has a lot of flavor and you get so much of it, easily sharable dishes. I recommend the shrimp (HUGE) lo mein as an absolute must. read more

I love taking out here. The shrimp with egg and the salt and pepper shrimp are my favorites but I've tried other dishes that have also been delicious too! I've ordered online and via phone and the order is always prompt. 10/10 would recommend! :) read more

This has be the worst food I have ever had. The fried rice and the Mongolian were greasy and no flavor. The egg roll was filled with unidentifiable vegetables. I am not sure how anyone gave this place 4 stars they must've been stoned read more

I tried this place for the first time and it was great. The food taste really good and it's freshly made. I will definitely continue to order from here. The order was delivered in a timely manner. The lady that took my order was very friendly as well. I'm glad I found a new place to order Asian food. read more

A typical carry out restaurant with very good food, reasonable prices and good customer service.

Below average food, and last time I ate there I found a very small bug of some kind in my rice! Never again! I'm only giving it 2 stars for good customer service. read more

I saw the grand opening sign so I decided to stop by for lunch. I got the shrimp lobster sauce with fried rice and crab Rangoon. I grabbed a bite of the fried rice and it was hard. I even microwaved it hoping it would taste better. It was still hard. The shrimp lobster sauce had a couple of shrimp and not much sauce. read more

I am always skeptical of trying new places but this spot is great! Had Mongolian beef and chicken fried rice and was top notch! About to order food here again read more

My husband and I wanted to bring in the new year with Chinese food, and this place did not disappoint. We ordered chicken Stirfry, Mongolian beef, spring rolls, and potstickers. I food was ready in 20 min. Parking was easy because they have their own parking lot. The food was actually good. It wasn't too salty, and we got large portion sizes. I would definitely visit again. The potstickers were excellent. read more

Everything in the order was great. The moo shoo pork in particular hit the spot. This is going to be my new go-to spot for Chinese!

Wow just ordered from here as a delivery. And the service was amazing. The food was well packaged and it was our first time trying their food and wow amazing read more

I stopped in for takeout a few days ago. Lady taking my order was rude. I wanted to try the food as I had gotten their menu in my mail. Food I ordered, such as Crab Rangoon was stale tasting, broccoli and beef tasteless. Egg rolls small and tasteless. My daughter got sick from eating the shrimp fried rice. Never going back. I will stick with Mayflower read more

We wanted to make a tradition of having Chinese Food for Christmas dinner. This has been really a problem due to 1) there being a pandemic, and 2) a lot of the old hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurants falling by the wayside. Here's what this restaurant did well: Egg rolls were excellent - this is pretty much how I measure a Chinese restaurant. My daughter had vegetable delight. The vegetables were fresh and crisp but the sauce had zero flavor. My son had sesame chicken which was pretty decent. I had egg foo yung which was also good. My wife had mu shu vegetables. The vegetables were incredibly over-salted. Quick service, and you get a lot of food for your money. If you stick with the standards, you're OK - but the mu shu and vegetables definitely need some work. read more

Very odd flavor. No one in my family liked it. I sat quietly and watched each family member say something or throw it away. The seasoning is odd. I spent $50+ and no one will eat it. Very disappointed. The dumplings have no flavor either, crab ragoon was mushy, orange chicken was odd read more

Good Chinese food overall, always taste fresh fast service if you driving too fast you'll miss it down Cicero in between Devon and pratt. Orange chicken,shrimp fried rice and egg roll are the best!! read more

It's nice to find a place that has the Americanized Chinese food I was craving. I don't always need culturally-authentic Chinese, and it's always disappointing to check a "Chinese" place's menu and find it full of Vietnamese, Filipino, and everything but actual Chinese. If you want something like authentic Chinese, go to Chinatown. If you want the best American-style strip-mall suburban Chinese, go here. Believe me, I've been looking for a while and I've usually been disappointed. My first order was good and I'll be going back. They deliver, but takeout was ready quickly and piping hot when I got home. They have online ordering, which is a huge plus so you and the restaurant are on exactly the same page with no language barrier to confuse things. Egg rolls tasted exactly like I was expecting without any of that odd under-taste so many other places have. Same with the egg drop soup; silky, glossy, and flavored right. Crab rangoons were crispy and chewy in the right places, and there was enough imitation crab that it wasn't just a ball of cream cheese. read more

Fed a family of 6 for $55, free chicken fried rice for spending over $40 (with coupon), food was ready in 20 min, no line, easy parking, friendly service. Good food too. Really liked the mongolian beef, shrimp fried rice was good and shrimp was the size of a half dollar coin! Veggie delight was fantastic and goes great over rice. I liked the crab ragoon, and egg rolls were phenomenal. Not a fan of orange chicken in general so can't complain or rave about this one. read more

I have ordered from twice -- and I recommend ordering direct on their website rather than a 3rd party delivery. The delivery fee was higher but the prices ordering direct were less expensive than the 3rd/UE party delivery. So take note! And.... the food came very hot when ordering direct. The food is good -- hits and some just OK, hence the 4 stars. As someone else mentioned, the egg rolls are terrific. So filled with meat and veggies, not the skinny type but really good and crunchy. Love them. Get them. One is filling, two can be a meal. We have gotten Pad Thai, Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Hawaiian Fried Rice and Chicken Fried Rice. Kung Pao is terrific, next time I will ask for a little spicier. Both fried rice were terrific, full of chicken and eggs. The Hawaiian has pineapple which was a good addition. The Pad Thai is OK, I think it needs more flavor. And the Sweet and Sour is OK, I wish the sauce was more sour than sweet. But the portions are GENEROUS. The Pad Thai is enough for three meals at least. I needed to find a different Chinese take out and I think this is going to be the new place and excited to try new dishes. After this last experience ordering directly, I will continue doing it that way -- hot food and better prices. read more

Speedy delivery, fresh and tasty food. We will definitely ordering from here again. Orange chicken was still crispy and not too sweet. Kung pao chicken was tasty and veggies were fresh and still had that crisp to them. Not mushy. Thanks again read more

Good food, well packed. Fried rice, chow fun, and egg foo young is good or even better than most.
