I've been looking for a new Chinese place and thought I would give this one a try. The egg drop soup looked delicious. It was piping hot and I couldn't even eat it right away. When I finally took a spoonful, it was way over-salted. I dropped a couple fried wontons into the container, to see if that would help. That's when I discovered that the fried wontons have a sugar coating on them. That clinched the fact that I'm not eating the soup. The egg roll was pretty good. I opened up the combination dinner. It was a huge portion of steaming hot fried rice and a decent helping of chicken lo mein. Unfortunately the chicken lo mein was coated in a very sweet hoisen sauce, thick and super sweet. This is not really the typical lo mein kind of sauce that I was expecting. The dish was mostly noodles, chicken and sauce. There were three snow pods in the meal and two matchstick carrots. As I lifted the noodles, the whole bottom was swimming in that sweet hoisen sauce. This place has gotten some good reviews, so I may give them another try but definitely not ordering the lo mein any more. read more

Been going here for years...not sure if there are new owners but the food has definitely changed. Ordered Wonton soup and chicken lo mein, and the amount of salt that was in there is unbelievable! Asked for no msg and I think they compensated with the salt shaker, enough that we will not be back and will find a new go to Chinese restaurant. read more

As always generous portios at great prices. We've been going there for many years. Authentic, tasty cuisine and welcoming staff.

Best Chinese food I've had in a long time! This place was booming on Christmas Day and rightfully so! Not an outrageous wait either, I'll definitely be back! (: read more

I've been visiting this restaurant for at least a year since I began working nearby. I've tried a couple things, but my favorite is the Sesame Chicken. The portion's great for the price and it tastes divine, if you're okay with feeling a little dehydrated afterwards. The crab rangoons are also very nice. read more

I actually feel bad giving them 2 stars because the staff is sooo nice but the food isnt good. I tried them for the 1st time yesterday and after a few bites, I threw it out. I got the Orange chicken with lo mein noodles and it had the weirdest smell. It def wasnt lo mein texture or anything, not sure what kind of noodles they were. The chicken didnt taste anything like orange chicken but wasnt too bad. read more

China Chef Express - Orange Chicken with Lo Mein - Chinese Near Me - Shelby Township, Michigan

Our family go to Chinese carry out for over 10 years. Never disappoints. A true neighbor hood spot.

Listen: fast, quick always reliable and never cold...just your local Chinese takeout. Egg-Chicken Fried Rice can never go wrong

This is a must get if you are looking for quality Chinese food at a very reasonable price. The size of the storefront is too small to provide a restaurant experience, but honestly doesn't need it. I've been enjoying Chinese meals from here to Wyandotte, and no one has it better than China Chef. The staff and service is very grateful and down to earth. It is very much a family business with a focus on quality. read more

the food was good! I personally have never waited more than 15 minutes for my food. It's a nice place for fast Chinese that didn't make me or my family feel sick after we were done dining. read more

Love this place! We order takeout lunch and get a nice variety for a nice price. The food is always delicious and very well prepared. This place is out of our way but it's worth the extra 30 minutes of travel. I'd better read more

China chef is a good takeout place for a late night or quick dinner. Great food and basic service and I Can't complain. read more

We enjoyed this Chinese for lunch very much! The crab Rangoon was the best I've ever had. The chicken for the almond boneless chicken was excellent. Portions are generous and organized. Also have had sweet and sour chicken and hot and sour soup and all is very good!! read more

Use to be one of my go to spots for great take out for the past 10+ year but now since owner and recipe changes while still claiming to be China chef express it's not Use to be 5 star take out read more

My coworker told me about this place and it is now my favorite Chinese food in the area!! Delicious!!! I love the general tso and the orange chicken read more

The 2 stars are for the delicious egg roll. The missing 3 were from the mean lady taking our order. While waiting for our food, she screamed at the chef several times (not complaining, very entertaining). Then once our food was ready, it say behind the counter for a good 10 minutes before she decided to give it to us. We watched our food sit and her take 4 other customers orders before a simple handover of our plastic bags. The worst part of the meal was the lack of a fortune cookie. They are an additional 25 cents or a dozen for $2. From my 25 plus years of ordering Chinese takeout, the first fortune is always free and included in every meal. I ordered the Rainbow Meal (spicy vegetables). It lacked variety and it was just ok. Lucky for me, there is enough left over for 3 more meals of this disapointment. read more

Pretty good. Having a tough time with a combination dinner and small soup for $17+. I understand that things have gone up but not that much.

The best Chinese American food in the region. For those that live the prolific "Detroit style Chinese egg roll", the kind with bean sprouts and tiny shrimp... this place is for you! All the classics are spot on Cantonese style Chinese American - sweet and sour chicken / pork, almond chicken, General Tsao's chicken, etc.... it's classic quality, quantity and consistency. We are happy to drive an extra 15 minutes to enjoy their food vs the local spots to us that are only so/so. PS if you have a family member who's not in the mood for Chinese, call in an order to Seniorita's and you can bring home some really good Mexican with the Chinese - make the whole family happy with almost no extra effort read more

My daughter wanted to try this place bc she goes to school with the owners daughter. So I figured let's try it! Small place, no waiter/tress service. We order chicken fried rice and chicken pad Thai. I also got a egg roll! It was all delicious! Everything was fresh and hot! My egg roll was crunchy and full of flavor! Loved the sweet and tart of the Pad Thai, and my daughter couldn't stop eating the rice! Minus 1 star for... they need more chicken in the fried rice. I had a hefty amount in the Thai. I'd go back and try more! read more

The portions are huge so you definitely get your money's worth but the food didn't have much flavor. The pepper steak was really good but the rice had no flavor at all and was very dry read more

I've been going here for years. Since it opened actually. But I think this place has new owners. The food is terrible to the point I don't like it at all. The food isn't as hot and terribly under seasoned. I'm looking for a new Chinese restaurant now. read more

This is my rating based on the egg-rolls and the quart of won ton soup I ordered. I did not order anything this particular day. The prices were fair and pretty much the same as other Chinese carry-out restaurants in the area. Note that this place is carry out only, there is no table for dining in. They only have a few chairs to sit and wait for your food. The egg rolls were stated in the menu as shrimp, by which shrimp would bet included inside said egg-roll. Well one of the 2 egg rolls ordered did not have any shrimp. The other egg-roll did in fact have 1 single lonely shrimp in it. The egg roll were room temperature and old tasting. It was obvious that they were made as part of a larger batch some time ago and sat waiting to be a part of a combination or order as is. The were not good at all, actually I hate to say it-they were gross. I could not even eat mine. The won ton soup looked great when I opened the container but that were the good ended. It was flavorless and again, the wontons were pre-made hours ago. The wontons were over cooked and mushy, they fell apart as soon as I would scoop one up with my spoon. The bok choy in the broth had been over heated so much that it lack any kind of life and just tasted awful in the soup. Had I been here before?!?! If so it must have been that mediocre that I don't even recall. Needless, its safe to say I won't be returning. read more

Good as always. I've been ordering from China Chef Express for over 9 years now. Sorry but it's the truth. Never had a bad meal and only one order with a tiny mistake that was immediately corrected. Love the place. read more

Me and my girlfriend ordered food from China Chef and it lives up to the expected 5 stars. It is a little more on the pricey side but worth every penny. We ordered the combination platter of sweet and sour chicken with pork fried rice. I was not expecting the portion to be that big, but this one order is a dinner for two with leftovers. Worth every penny. Would definitely recommend. read more

I've been coming to this Chinese place for years and it was always hands down the best Chinese restaurant around. Now they are under new management and it has become one of the worst experiences I've had. The past THREE times I've gone there it has been nothing but disappointment. The past two times the food has been cold when I picked it up and both times the potstickers were still raw! This time they must've changed the potsticker recipe entirely and they were awful, tasted like plastic but at least they were cooked! I also ordered curry chicken and they gave me something completely different with peanuts and mushrooms. Very disappointed. read more

China Chef is my go-to Chinese restaurant. Tonight we had sesame chicken (ordered a large but will get a small next time). It is soo much food! White rice, egg drop soup, crab Rangoon. Everything's great as usual. Crab Rangoon has a lot of crab in it and is very filling. Egg drop soup is perfect! Chx is crispy and delicious. I would recommend China Chef to anyone! read more

For a Chinese take out the food is decent and the price is great for the lunch specials, which are relatively big in portions. The fried rice is not over salted or super greasy like your usual Chinese take out, which makes it actually edible. Ordered the chicken chop suey, which was good but slightly plain in flavor not salt. This wasn't really an issue as some extra seasonings and chili peppers at home fixed it up good! read more

I've been coming here for years. Always loved the food but now I don't know if there's been a change of owners/management but the food just isn't the same anymore. Everything is made differently now and it just doesn't taste the same. I'll be finding a new Chinese place. read more

This restaurant must have changed management because the food is terrible. We ordered the Almond Chicken, Fried Shrimp, Hot and Sour Soup, and Egg Rolls. All the dishes were terrible with the exception of the egg rolls. My Almond Chicken had an undertaste. Our dogs, with a bit of encouragement, finished the meal. We are currently looking for a new Chinese restaurant! Avoid at all cost! read more

Best chinese I have ever had Sweet and sour, and sesame chicken are my favorite. read more

We've been going here for a couple years now and it's always really good. We pass 3-4 other Chinese restaurants to go to this one. Reasonable prices and staff is always nice and helpful. read more

This is our go-to Chinese. Nothing fancy but it tastes the way we have had Chinese made by our old house. (Although nothing beats Young's in Royal Oak) I got chicken low mein and he got sweet and sour chicken. The portions are huge, I could probably get 4 huge helpings out of my box. Ooh I always upgrade my fried rice to chicken or beef. It's extra but tastes 90% better than what you get in the combo. read more

In the effort to keep prices low, the food at some Chinese restaurants has suffered. But the China Chef Express has kicked it up a notch. While the prices are reasonable, the food is a good quality product. read more

Normally I enjoy China Chef Express however, this order was a MUCH different story. FIRST, I was told that my food would be ready in 15 minutes, so I arrived at that time and waited an additional 20 minutes. 35 minutes total time. SECOND, I ordered NO mushrooms on the phone, and when I got there and paid for my order, I repeated no mushrooms and the lady had forgotten to mention it to the chef. When I arrived home, I found small pieces of mushroom all throughout the meal. Clearly the cook just half-heartedly tried to pick them out. Good thing it's not a serious allergy! THIRD, the vegetables in garlic sauce had ZERO garlic, no sauce, nothing. Completely tasteless. The only thing we could do is add some soy sauce to make it palatable. FOURTH, I got home, and they had completely forgotten the sweet & sour chicken I ordered which meant that I had to go up there. Again. FIFTH, I politely and kindly called to explain all of our issues and spoke with such a nice lady who told me how sorry she was and asked me to hold while she spoke to the owner and cook. When she came back she told me that the cook "remembers putting the sauce on" (there was none) and told me that unless I wanted to go up there and get some sauce or return the meal (this would be my third trip for ONE order) that the owner wasn't willing to do anything. Not even an apology from the owner or cook for the mess THEY created. read more

Been going here forever. New owners need to get back original Recipes!!! To much dark sauce. Very salty. It is no way as good as it was . Tried 2 times. Be careful going to lose a lot of business. read more

the portions are still huge but the help there are rude. old owner used to always be pleasant and even knew you by your voice on the phone. food has always been under seasoned. i asked if they were new owners and you could tell they have been asked that many times. they need to become more customer friendly if they are to remain there. read more

I love China Chef My boyfriend and I order from China Chef (CC) so often the staff recognize our voices/and or phone number when we place our orders. China Chef gives you very generous portions, enough for two meals. We usually order the pepper steak, orange chicken, house won ton soup, and three egg rolls. All are very delicious, hot and easy on your pockets. Every dish we have tried, has not disappoint. Trust me, we have been to several different chinese restaurants and have always return to CC. I highly recommend CC, they are simply the best. read more
