This place was horrible!!My friend and I ordered food from here 7/29/20 . A meal of it was sweet and sour chicken broccoli beef with white rice. The whole meal practically was white rice and two small scoop and that's a SCOOP of each entree. for 8.00$ Then was going to charge her for drinks. when that was not on the order and then said well we can't put it back. so they gave it to her for free OH MY!!!! WILL NOT GO BACK AND THEY DON'T DESERVE THAT!!!!! read more

Excellent food. Prices are very good and they give you a lot. The only complaint I have is they don't offer dine in ever since COVID19 happened. They only have carry out or delivery. read more

Good food. Decent price. Just a take out place. The lady is sweet. There is not much of anything but just a front to pick up food.

I ordered orange chicken what in the Sam's hell is this it doesn't even taste like chicken and it's slimy in the middle. The rest of the meat is overcooked. What the hell is going on is the pandemic affecting your ability to serve real chicken and cook. It is a bad business just to throw anything on your customers plate. read more

The noodles are tasty and the food is pretty good. The old man yelling "hello do you have a pick up order? Thank you!!! " is pretty funny. Theres a ton of msg but hey we all knew that already. I recommend the Mongolian beef read more

I love little hide always like this the food is more authentic and delicious. This place has just what I wanted I loved it! Driving from Northgate blvd isn't so bad. The lady helped me and she was super sweet. I think this place could make a lot of money if it had dine hopefully coming soon. read more

This place sucks. Our normal Chinese go-to - Wings - is closed on Wednesday's so we decided to order Cathay Express for delivery. My wife called and placed the order for 4 large entrees and rice, gave the man our address and was told we could pay when the driver arrived. Fast forward an hour and our food hasn't arrived. Worried the driver was lost and driving circles around our neighborhood I decided to call the restaurant to check. Without giving any details the man who answered told me "too far, too far". I asked him what he meant and he lied and said he called my wife and she answered and he told her that it was too far for them to deliver. I'm not mad that it's too far for them to deliver, I'm mad that they took the order and then never notified us that they weren't going to deliver. My advice is to order at your own risk as there's a good chance you'll still be hungry waiting for your food. read more

honestly. Don't sleep on this seemingly hole in the wall. We ordered the Salt and Pepper Tofu and the Salt and Pepper Eggplant. Two things to know: Salt and Pepper anything is my go to and so I've had a lot. I've never had the tofu fried but still SOFT on the inside. Like a very soft tofu!! Normally a firm tofu but that was such a fun texture. My fiancée loves eggplant and WE HAVE NEVER HAD IT PREPARED LIKE THIS. it was BUTTERY AND DE-VINE!!! The flavor was so good and the batter of both was so crispy and salty and UGH! Also GREAT bang for your buck i would say their prices are super worth it. Please order those. read more

LOVE! I have been eating Chinese food ever since I was a kid. I know what good Chinese good taste like and I know how much it should cost. This plate serves lunch-priced specials all day long. I had the combination plate with honey walnut shrimp and fried fish. OMG! You can find good Chinese food if the owners are from Hong Kong, which you can tell by the style of the meals, they are. Give this place a try, you will not regret it! read more

Every time I come here the food is delicious! Curry chicken is fire! Keep up the great work!

Food delivery is hit or miss but overall the food is good. Mongolian chicken not spicy and I ask for low sugar and I do get it that way . Sesame Chicken is good . My previous bad delivery experience seems to have passed and have not gotten cold food the past few times read more

I have ordered to go and take out for years from this restaurant. The wor wonton soup is the best I have ever had. The broth is so delicious and flavorful. The egg rolls are delicate and melt in your mouth tasty. I have had a variety of their entrees and they always arrive fresh and hot. You can't go wrong coming here. read more

Fast friendly service. Food is great I always order the #7. I think these are the same people that owned Wei Wei's. I have been here a few times and have yet to be disappointed. They also deliver! For the most part the inside is clean, aNd the staff can be helpful. Very convenient location and tasty food is always a good thing read more

Great food and portions. I ordered the broccoli beef large which had fresh ingredients and lots of garlic! Also, the spicy orange chicken which was really sweet and spicy. Pork friend rice which came in an entire take out container - same as the other entree and a hot and sour soup which was at least 16-24 ounces. Plus 2 egg rolls. Really great food and I had planned on eating it for two meals but ate for four meals! read more

** Note: I began this review the night we ordered this take out with delivery via the Yelp app which was 2 months ago. First time maiden voyage eating this joints food. First time eating this joints food while utilizing the new feature on my pre-historic iPhone 4's App and the "Take-Out Delivery" option utilizing Yelps new "delivery take-out" feature which was recently added to it. I'm sold! Really really blissfully happy. So is my husband Miguel O. and that's saying a lot. We don't eat out very much so when we do I'm rather selective with what and where we dine. McDonald's doesn't count as I love McDonald's and Ronnie is always a safe bet in a pinch. Plus I eat low-carb and/or as low carb as I can find especially when eating away from home. Tonight after a long ass day spent hunched over paperwork which had drained me completely I had forgotten about dinner when my hubbs reminded me it was time to eat & offered to treat for dinner and delivery none the less. It's at this point when I recalled seeing a new take out and delivery option on the Yelp app so we gave it a whirl. It was amazingly easy, user friendly and our order was 100% correct! This thrilled me beyond belief as I'm really an easy woman to please if accuracy, attention to detail is used and sincerity is apparent. They were. Here's some Tips when using the Yelp app to order: Do not be dissuaded by the menu you may see when selecting the "view menu" items via the listing. Instead launch the take out & delivery option and enter your address and pretend your ordering. When you do this their entire menu opens up right before your eyes. Spicy or mild food? Dietary restrictions? Low-sodium or vegetarian? The app also allows you an area for special requests when ordering each item. Loved this! The app lets you select options for each dish ordered and we utilized the spicy level from mild to flaming and the flaming is amazingly hot & delicious! We amped up the heat and went for butt burnin spicy hot on all our dishes and they delivered on that request. In the end when your all done building your order you can select to pay cash at the door or pre enter your credit card. Building in the tip is also an available feature in the credit card choice for those who don't carry cash on hand. LOVED this built in tip option; just sayin... We ordered Mongolian Beef, Sweet & Sour Pork, deep fried prawns and vegetable stir fry sans the rice and noodles. All 4 dishes were cooked to perfection and their flavors distinct from each other unlike some places where all the dishes taste the same. Super fresh ingredients and more than ample servings for each dish left us with leftovers which were delicious reheated the next day. Pricing was very reasonable and I'm a thrifty creature by nature... Pricing is also clearly listed within the app. So far in the Arden Arcade area Cathay is our favorite Asian food restaurant and their take out and Yelp app ability has us both sold as quite honestly I've become a bit of a recluse over the past year and having the option to eat freshly prepared food that is delivered hot and with a smile and uber timely at that goes along way in my selective book. read more

Delicious! Ordered a small eggplant tofu and shrimp fried rice, and it was enough for 2 of us. read more

Cathay Express - Shrimp Fried Rice Eggplant with Tofu - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

First time trying this place lunch time. ORDERED TAKE OUT: 32oz each chicken chow mein 3 stars- it tasted like they reheated noodles because I had bits of cold noodles. Chicken had mild flavor to no flavor. Bland flavor in total. Orange chicken 3stars- crispy and overlay of sauce on it was a lot and taste of oil in your mouth (not good combination Mongolian beef 2 stars- the flavor had an off taste and look gooey. I personally didn't like the taste. Beef tasted different and off. Beef and broccoli 5 stars- I can say this was the best of my order. Crisp and crunchy broccoli and beef cooked well. Perfect! SERVICE: friendly and helpful cashier girl. TIME OF WAIT: 15minutes OVERALL- they gave big portions and cheaper prices than other places. Spend $30 for the whole order. Definitely not satisfied. Give it a 5 for service , time of wait but 3 stars for overall food satisfaction. I personally wouldn't come back maybe just for the broccoli and beef. read more

Extremely covid safe. GOOD food for so cheap you can't beat the price. The combo plates are huge and can feed two people. Such good deals here. Love this place, try the beef broccoli read more

THIS PLACE WILL GIVE YOU THAT "I HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW" KIND OF DIARRHEA! My roommate first went here and later that night was in and out of the bathroom. He told me he thinks it was the Chinese food, but wasn't sure. About 2 weeks later I decide to give this place a go. I end up eating their very average tasting Chinese food. An hour later I have to RUSH to the toilet. I ended up being in and out of the toilet all night. Not sure what they are doing to the food to make it have this effect. My food was ready for pickup after 5 minutes of calling, which makes me ASSUME they just have it all sitting in the kitchen creating bacteria. Also, the guy was very quick and rude with me when I came to pick up the order. read more

Great food! Always got and fresh! Nice serving size for the money! Love the chicken fried rice! Highly recommend Cathay Express!

Recently became pescatarian so we typically order the honey shrimp combo plate which also includes chow mein and fried rice. In my opinion, the fried rice tastes stale and is a bit too crunchy for my liking. The chow mein has minimal cabbage, however, the texture is just right. Our favorite is the shrimp. It's delicious so we'll be returning for this and substituting the rest for veggies next time. Thanks for the great customer service and cleanliness of the place team! read more

Delicious food, kind customer service, and affordable! You may often find this place to be quiet, depending on when you visit, but don't let that stop you from choosing to grab a bite here. A kind gentleman took my order and shortly thereafter a very polite woman brought me my food, which was delicious. I got the combo #3 BBQ pork fried rice, chicken chow mein and Mongolian beef. So good! read more

Cathay Express - Combo #3 - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

This place is great, cheap, quality food. The delivery is really fast too. There fried rice is the BEST fried rice , general chicken is good could be crunchier but that's our personal preference, the Mongolian beef is soo good it has sauteed onions and peppers with it and it's all in this sauce that is soo good.i was literally just eating the onions lol , their egg rolls are really good but more like large spring rolls lol not with the traditional thicker roll and last but not least there salt and pepper wings are the BOMB ,they are fried perfectly and garnished with jalapeno slices , onions and peppers so some of the wings have a little zing to it but not spicy ..I will definitely be back and I'm glad I found my Chinese spot read more

I was hungry and went to this Chinese Restaurant because it was close by. The food was good, although the House chow Mein was a bit oily. They were nice in that they gave to me a free soda. read more

Ordered Togo on a weekend night so it was pretty busy! Guy answered phone right away, recommended we just pick up because delivery would take really long. We ordered pork fried rice, honey prawns, chow-mein, and I believe a sweet and sour chicken. The pork fried rice, honey prawns and chicken entrees were amazing! But the chow-mein had a bland taste compared to how the other dishes tasted. They forgot top it soy sauce and chop sticks in my bag ): lol it's fine though. I usually don't like Chinese food because it is really oily and makes me sick, but the food was good. read more

Worse Chinese food ever! Egg Foo Young undercooked. Large portions but horrible food. Was better when it was Take E Home.

This is an amazing place. My husband wanted Chinese food for dinner while I was at work so we ordered for delivery. When I called the restaurant, a man answerd said it was a little late for delivery but they would do it. We bought 5 ITEMS, with no delivery fee, our total was 26.85!! It was really inexpensive and I was a little worried the food would be bland or just not up to par. I was COMPLETELY mistaken about Cathay Express.. Thier portions are very decent, they give you a small or large option, its inexpensive, and the food tastes delicious. While I ate I wondered who cooked this delicious meal?!?! I want to thank them!! Anyway if you're passing by, and in the need for Chinese food, stop here. read more

extremely tasty and fresh - fast carry out and friendly. everything was packaged securely and all condiments were sealed.

I don't think I will be coming back here. The honey prawns are now tiny shrimp in what appears to be a donut hole. And the food was wayyyy too salty. I just ordered the chicken chow mein, Mongolian beef, salt and pepper chicken and honey prawns. All I could taste was sodium. I could not even eat it, and I didn't bother calling to complain. I'll just lose out on $30. I figured I would warn some of you out there. It's clear that covid is causing people to skim and cut corners. read more

I was out and about on errands and as it was lunchtime I thought I'd see if there were any Chinese restaurants in the area, my car computer told me this one was closest. My first impression was not so good with an unappealing location and decor, but more so because of flies buzzing around inside and then being handed a laminated menu that needed cleaning; but I decided to live dangerously and take my chances. It seemed a popular place with several tables occupied and other people coming in to pick up takeout orders; and didn't take too long to place my order or for the food to arrive. Portions were generous and prices reasonable. I thought their fried rice and noodles were rather bland, but Roger thought their food was yum and liked that their sweet & sour sauce had some tang, and their batter on the chicken was crunchy. We didn't get sick after eating food from here, so not to worry; and I can see how if I lived in the area I would frequent this place for takeout. read more

Got told about this place and I am glad that we drove the 13 miles to try them out. The food was made quick and very affordable. The rice and noodles had real pieces of chicken and vegetables. The meat dishes were plentiful and tasted good. read more

The food is so good. We got chicken fried rice, chow mein, Orange chicken and a California roll. It was all so perfect cooked nicely. I enjoyed the fact that the rice was not dry like it is at a lot of Chinese places rice's are. The also allow you to choose a size small which is 16oz and large which is the normal size. The delivery was also fast, about 30 mins. read more

Had a really great experience. Have been trying to find a good Chinese restaurant and this has been by far one of the best. The chow mein was not greasy at all and the rice was really good as well. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I was really craving Chinese food. I placed a pick up order thru yelp app. I ordered combo #1 and combo #4. Order was ready on time. I got home and was ready to dig in. But wait!!! Combo #1 was correct but my combo #4 was not!! It was orange chicken over white rice. The menu shows that combo #4 comes with sweet and sour pork, bbq pork rice, and chicken chow mein. I'm sad. Too hungry and tired to go back and return. Wished I got the food I paid for and ordered. read more

The food is good but was a bit disappointed with the size. Got a large fried rice, small Mongolian beef, small orange chicken and small salt and pepper fish. I feel a little cheated because I feel that what I received was not $30 worth of food. Maybe the dine in experience is better portioned. read more

I love this place! I order delivery frequently from here and all times but once it has been beyond delicious! Food arrives quicker than the estimated delivery time, it is hot and fresh! The delivery guy is also very nice. There has only been one instance where my go to order (salt & pepper fish combo plate) was extremely oily and bland. It was as if the cook forgot to season and drain the food. Maybe it was an off day or maybe a new cook? Either way, I decided to give them another chance and this time it was beyond exceptional. One of the few places in Sacramento that serves salt & pepper fish and 9 times out of 10 it was a hit! read more
