I will say that everyone is very kind and they try to make things right. However, this new change in ownership has resulted in a completely different experience from years past with different recipes for the food, long waits and generally poor presentation. I waited twice my estimated wait time and ended up without one of the items I ordered. Even though the website claimed to be utilizing classic Chin Express recipes, this was nothing like it. Unfortunately the chicken was poor quality, sauces packed separately and not on the chicken as traditional, and the sauces themselves were not good. However, like I said, they were very kind/trying to make things right and may just be working out the kinks still. Unfortunately we probably won't be back. read more

The service was incredible and the food was delicious. Came in right before close on a holiday and the only person there stayed late to make us a meal on thanksgiving. The food was delicious and the woman working was so kind. Definitely will come back! read more

There must have been a change in management as the quality of food and staff is much to be desired. The young lady at the cash register I could hardly hear her. When I asked her to speak up she roller her eyes because I interrupted her computer time. The food was less than tasty, nothing like it was previously. This will be the last time I visit this restaurant. Time to find a new Chinese restaurant! So sad this place is going down hill. Don't waste your money! read more

I hate leaving negative reviews. I ordered last night and then saw the recent negative reviews. I had buyers remorse immediately but it was too late so I picked up my hot and sour soup and general's chicken. I'm giving 2 stars because the hot and sour is decent. Unfortunately, my general's chicken was not even recognizable. It was really bad. I can't even call it general's chicken. It was missing several things. I won't be going back to this place. read more

Well it was a good run. We returned last week and ordered our usual faves since the Mongolian Beef was just a "box o onions" Its all bad now....the Szechuan chicken is just "Szechuan veggies/onion" now too. Too bad so sad we need a new chinese place! read more

I am still exploring Chin Express's menu. I have had General Chicken and Cashew Chicken. Both dishes were good to very good. The fried rice that you receive with the combination lunches is very flavorful and honestly excellent. I prefer spring rolls & could easily make a meal out of a couple of them. And, I can make one lunch combo last for 3 or 4 meals. I love the staff. They are enthusiastic and are very upbeat. This is, to me, one of the best Asian cuisine restaurants in the Van Buren/Canton area. The only reason that I did not bestow 5 stars is somehow my Cashew Chicken was spicy and that is not the way it is usually made! (I wasn't expecting that) read more

Quality is bad! We could not find beef in Mongolian Beef dish!!! General's Chicken was tough and chewy. The sauce in every dish was plain and tasteless. Too much onions in every fish to fill the plate. Egg drop soup was the worst - hardly any eggs and no taste. I wasted $50. Will never go back. read more

So we haven't had chin in a while but was alway great place. Today we went they have new owners the food was bland and the sauces were runny very disappointing when new owner change thing and not for the better read more

I decided to give this place a try today after seeing several recommendations on Facebook. I had a delicious meal. Very good quality of food, tasty, good portions and friendly service. Can't wait to go back and try some other options. read more

Has there been a change in ownership within the last few months? We always had great portions and quality. Went last month and portions were cut in half and not the same food at all. read more

It's quick and hot! I've never had a bad experience so far. My husband seems to think it could have a little more meat but overall good.

NEW OWNERS WITHIN THE PAST YEAR+ Very, very disappointed!!! I always had great food for over 20+ years and the same family owned it. The woman always remembered her customers and her sons each worked there before they went to college and if they came home on break, it was nice to see and hear how they were all doing. I think they must've retired, as the last time I was in, new people were there. That lady told me the others were gone and that the dishes were all the same as they had been prior.... Boy was that a lie. It was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, nothing I ordered even resembled the previous dishes, which unit in itself wouldn't have necessarily been bad if it tasted good (like it had). YUK, I can't say anything good about it. Sad when I think of how it was and how busy they used to be prior to leaving. I used to drive over 25 minutes to patronize this business as it was always a positive experience, but NO MORE. I thought I would see if maybe I had been hasty in my judgment but sadly after reading the reviews, I see I wasn't. With all the various Asian eateries around I can't imagine this will last very long. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, or TIME AND DON'T SUBJECT YOUR TASTEBUDS OR STOMACH TO THIS CRAP. PS. This is just my opinion, but after reading so many other negative reviews from the past 9+ months, clearly I'm not the only one who is no longer a fan. Be warned. Awful read more

The most that I can give this restaurant is a 2 star. The service was really just OK. I ordered almond chicken which was not cooked crispy enough and had a weird taste to it. I can give them credit because they put the sauce on the side. I also ordered sweet-and-sour chicken they put the sauce on the side for that as well. I ordered crab rangoon which had absolutely no taste at all to it. The at shallow experience was Pretty unmemorable. I did not take any pictures of the food or anything. It was kind of a quick pick up and go situation because I was in a crunch. I don't ever need to go here again. read more

This has always been my favorite Chinese Restaurant for carry out in the area. Food was always right with whatever you ordered. NOW ‍! Last couple of time going there it has been really bad. I think it's under new management and the food is horrible. What happened to Cindy? They are not holding up the standards of the previous owners. read more

When it comes to Chinese food, we prefer carry-out. Tried four or five other Chinese restaurants before I found Chin Express. Now I only go there. The food is excellent, and my wife really likes the beef lo main read more

Ordered sweet and sour shrimp , and it was a good servicing size and very tasty . Great food !!! Staff is very nice !!! Will recommend to others . read more

Best General Tao chicken in town! . The business owners are always nice! Nice redecorated lobby!

The food was good.The dinner for five was enough to feed a family of 7 with leftovers.

My first time getting carryout from Chin's express.They have the best egg rolls that I've had in years.Made with bean sprouts not cabbage. I will definitely be going back. read more

Best Chinese in town with gluten free options. Great service too! The General Tso is delicious!

Chin express serves great food with great service at a fair price. The family owned business is very hands on with excellent customer service. I've had probably 15 different dishes there over the years; and while I gravitate to some dishes quicker than others I can say I've never been disappointed at Chin Express. There are plenty of Chinese food choices around the Canton MI area but Chin is clearly at or near the top of the heap. read more

This place was definitely a surprise. I got carry-out one night for a late dinner, expecting greasy junkfood chinese. I ordered veggie fried rice and wonton soup, and both were very good. Everything looked and tasted really fresh. The wonton soup was especially good. It was very light with lots of greens. It was not what I expecting, to be honest. I usually like my wonton soup heavy on the fatty pork juice. But I got over it pretty quickly, because it was so good and seemingly much healthier. The prices are very competitive too. The wonton was on special for $2.50 a quart. I will definitely be back again. read more

Food never fails to be quality and the owners are the nicest people you could ever meet. Our favorites are the sesame or Generals chicken, gong bo, Mongolian and Szechuan beef or chicken. As well as veg lo mein. read more

Love this place. :) I've been coming here for years. Great food, awesome portions and the woman that always takes my order is so sweet. read more

Chin Express - Chin Express - Chinese Near Me - Canton, Michigan

Carry-out only Chinese-American food for a reasonable price. I will summarize this place in three words:" fresh vegetables", "bland". We got two dishes. A dinner combination with kung pao (gung bo, I think they called it) chicken had quite a lot of the chicken dish, with lots of fresh vegetables, including mushrooms, carrots and green peppers. The menu claims they have "authentic Cantonese and Szechuan food" but the dish, labeled spicy, had no hint of spice at all. The brown sauce it was in had a pleasant, if bland flavor. The fried rice in the combo was rice turned brownish from being soaked in soy sauce with no vegetables or other ingredients. The combo also came with a rather large egg roll. It wasn't greasy and it was full of very fresh vegetables, but it was also bland. Instead of the typical "duck sauce" (or plum sauce) it came with a tiny tub of something like a thinned sweet & sour sauce which actually tasted more like watered down cough syrup. We also got some pork lo mein. The noodles in the lo mein were not the typical noodles but a very thin noodle of the thickness of mai fun [which are made of rice, but these seemed to be wheat like regular lo mein noodles are]. There was plenty of sliced pork, as well as a lot of fresh vegetables, including bean sprouts, mushrooms, celery, cabbage and more. But there was no sauce, and that made the dish bland. A little bit of oyster sauce, which is often used to give lo mein it's typical flavor, would have gone a long way to giving the dish some depth. Dinner for two was about $15. Since it was carry-out (they have no seating except a few chairs to wait while your order is prepared) this covered only the food. While the fresh vegetables were wonderful, the lack of any flavor made the meal uninspiring and dull. If only they'd start properly spicing their food we'd be willing to go back and give them another try. read more

Chin Express is wonderful! Sure, it's essentially void of decor but this is a takeout restaurant - and a very nice one at that. Appearances are second to the friendly and helpful service you'll get here (the restaurant is family owned!) and nice big portions of food. Speaking of food - it is quite Americanized Chinese, but that doesn't mean it can't be good. Mooshu pork and Garlic shrimp come with plenty of vegetables and tangy sauce to swirl your rice around in. Lo mian is reliable and tasty as well. All this is made awesomer by the fact that they don't use MSG (!!!) If you're hankering for some takeout in canton, I'd encourage giving this place a shot! :) read more

This is our favorite local carry out for Chinese food. They have good fried rice, delicious almond chicken (they give you a ton!), sweet & sour and yummy szechuan chicken. We love their egg rolls & crab rangoons. Terrific service too! Not giving 5 Stars because of their General Chicken which is typically a fav of mine. I don't like their General Tsao chicken at all. .. it's weird long pieces of meat with a really dark sauce that isn't very spicy or sweet. Definitely not normal GS & I made mistake of ordering twice. read more

Chin Express is a real deal for Canton. Prices are very competitive but the owners do not cut corners (as many higher priced Chinese eateries do in Canton). There is ample parking. Often you can find parking space in front of Chin, which is located at the shopping center on Cherry Hill near the new CVS Pharmacy. You get a large serving for your money. Many combination lunches are under $6.00 and several dinner combinations are under $7.00. Vetgetables are always fresh and meat is quality, never canned semi-lunchmeat cubes as many carryouts use. Chin has a solid regular customer base, so I advise calling ahead. It is family owned & operated. Usually the wife works the phone and the counter. Her English is excellent. If you haven't already, try Chin Express sometime. You'll be pleased with the prices and the food. read more

Great place for carry out. They give you a decent portion of food. I consider this the best Take out in Canton. Not only because of the food but it is also great service. The women knows who you are and is always friendly. read more

Let me start by saying I love, love, love American-style Chinese cuisine. Chin Express scores above my top 5 of all time. The dishes I have had to date are flavorful, fresh and great quality. Good portion sizes, friendly service and ample parking. The fried rice is average but the wonton soup was very filling. Lunch specials are reasonably priced and a good way to try different entrees. I am glad to have this gem in the area. I will return soon! Yummy! read more

Chin Express was probably my favorite take out in Canton. We used to frequent this place for work related luncheons and I also would get it for home. It is take out - pure and simple. Call it Americanized Chinese or what have you - it was made well and tasty. Love the General, among the many others like Beef N Broccoli, Sesame, etc. This place won't win any awards for décor or eye appeal. But, it is just plain good take out on a Friday night. Staff were always great and friendly. Give it a try. read more

This is the only Chinese food restaurant that I go to in the Canton area. The food is always cooked fresh, the chicken is all white meat and the owners are so cute and friendly! You also get a fairly large portion size for a good price. Definitely recommend this place! read more

This little Chinese restaurant has so much potential. The combination of the foods flavors, and the consistency of execution is commendable, the rotten customer service, dismissive attitude of the young man who is the son of the owners, and the routine misses of items in carry out orders make ordering from this place not even worth it. Particularly when the son is there, you have to act on the tedium of checking your food in its entirety. Doing so, however, can be frustrating when they usually have double and triple tied bags and multiple staples running the perimeter of the styrofoam food containers. Forgetting egg rolls is ridiculous, bcz u really almost destroy the styrofoam container trying to open it, only to find them missing is as disappointing as it gets with carryout. I wish I could say that I finally got home and started opening the containers to find all was well tonight, but I can't. They were missing the egg rolls and we even ordered a couple extra for the kids and the missed the extras. I tried to call back and let them know but I knew they were pretty lousy with customer service, so I was already a bit apprehensive. Sure enough, they didn't feel the inconvenience of either my little kids missing the rolls today because they wanted to give me them on the next order (pretty useless offering), or the inconvenience of wasted resource (my time, gas, miles, etc...) was worth even offering any sort of comps or future comps as compensation for that waste. If this was the first time it would've been pretty bad, but to have the same experience twice makes me think that my next hankering for Chinese will provoke me to turn around and head back to my classic China gate, in Westland, just a few miles away that rarely screws up but if they do, you don't even have to ask bcz they'll show u that they care about your time and make sure it's overcompensated. That young boy who almost spat out "no" when I asked if they think that it was worth something small, like one egg roll, for me to hop back into my car and drive back to oick it up and come home again in the middle of dinner was as telling as could be, and shows an absolute disrespect of the time, lives, and families of the customer. I rarely see my family (crazy career) and I don't like spending that time driving. Apparently that time is not worth a dime to this boy, nor is double checking his orders to make sure his customers don't deal with these inconveniences something he feels is worth it. The quick n dirty? Good food, always incomplete depending on who is there, and don't value your time and energy it takes to clean up their mistakes. read more

The word that comes to mind is... Weird. The chicken was cooked really well but the sauce on the Orange Chicken was so strange. I order Orange Chicken at every Chinese place and it's NEVER tasted like this before, very very sweet and no spice. The Chicken Lo Mein was incredibly different to what I was used to from other restaurants as well. Again not BAD food, but certainly not what I would seek out. read more

Worst wonton soup I've ever eaten and you have to pay extra for the crispy wontons. Takes like dirty sink water. Disgusted.

Not much to say about this place. There general chicken was too sweet and not spicy. Definitely bland as someone described in their review. The sesame chicken was too sweet; almost tasting like honey. Maybe they sweetened it with honey. Chicken are of the bubbly-breaded fried type. If you like that style. There chinese vegetable soup is simple; but amazing! Oh and this place is only to go. I would say they need to lower their prices by a dollar or half. EDIT: I just tried their tofu dishes a few times; and the cook of this place makes the best tofu-and-veggie meals I have ever had. This is THE place to go to if you want an healthy tofu meal to replace a good home-cooked meal for a day or two! Best tofu dishes in all Canton! What does that mean? They are okay with the Americanized dishes like General and Sesame Chicken. But are very good with the dishes that are closer to Chinese authentic food. I will definitely be returning for more tofu dishes. EDIT_SIDE_NOTE: There is a $10 minimum for when paying with a card. read more

My family and I get take-out from this place at least every week or two. They give you a ton of quality good tasting american-chinese fare for fantastic prices. We easily get two or three meals out of what we order. Never had to wait longer then 15 minutes either. read more

The people are nice and my food has always been tasty. Huge portions! I love their egg rolls too. They are bean sprout and not cabbage egg rolls. They are now closed one day during the week (I believe Wednesdays) which is the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars. Just so happens the last 2 times I've wanted to order from there, it was on the day they were closed which was disappointing. read more

I haven't been here in a few years but the customer service here doesn't compare to anywhere I've ordered! Its clearly a family run business and the matriarch is the face. I was a regular when I lived in the area and she always remembered my order (I was a regular) they give you a generous quantity for what you pay and if I were in the area I'd order here all the time!! read more

Great Food and TONS of it. I get the general chicken and its good for 2 people and I am a big eater. I don't eat crab rango but have friends that do and say its very good as well. I always order here when I order carry out. read more
