Great place for carry out dinner! The Cantonese Chow Fun [Beef] was delicious. They didn't over cook the noodles. The Beef with Green Peppers was good too. I'm used to it having tomatoes in the dish but it only had the beef and green peppers. The Roast Pork with Mixed Vegetable was okay. It had nice large size cuts of the bbq pork. I received stapled on my carry out bag they are changing their website to place orders. It's chinaexr.com. read more

Not a good Customer Service business the food is just OK not enough meat in your order. Their county corners is just OK.

This place was mid but I could see why people like it. I'm semi convinced that Chinese takeout spots become your favorite over time and nostalgia. Anyway, they have all day combos which comes with rice or fried rice and an egg roll. Most places only have combos for lunch. We ordered the general tso chicken combo with plain rice and chicken in hunan style with plain rice, chicken lo mein, and Szechuan green beans. I didn't love either the general tso chicken or Hunan chicken, but they were both good. General tso chicken includes both white and dark meat. The dark meat isn't skinless, and immediately falls off with the batter. The sauce was good though- tangy and sweet. I agree with another Yelp that the protein could be chopped into smaller pieces. Hunan style chicken was a touch salty but was good with rice. The green beans are usually my favorite at other restaurants, but it was a little under seasoned and under cooked here. The lomein was nothing special. Chicken in the lomein is dry. Ambiance- it looks like they don't offer dine in any more. The tables were clustered and roped off. read more

The food is very mediocre. The chicken wings were not like advertised and highly disappointing. For anyone who's ever had Chinese chicken wings knows that they are not overly breaded and juicy. This was caked with breading and a bit dry. Hard to eat. Don't recommend. Shrimp fried rice was a bit undercooked but edible. The green beans weren't bad. Had a little kick to them. read more

Meh at best. Hot & Sour Soup was very sour and lacked depth - mostly broth. I did like the crispy noodle squares. Those were unique. Egg Rolls lacked flavor and texture. Change the fryer oil. read more

Fried chicken tasted like old oil and probably dbl fried because it is like a brick. Disappointed.. read more

China Express - Extra hard fried-old oil tasting chicken. It was probably rushed. Won't be back. - Chinese Near Me - Clifton, Virginia

This place cuts corners and it shows. The batter fell off my chicken immediately, they didn't even slice the chicken as there are chucks the size of my hand in there, and the Rangoon tasted as if it had been reheated after sitting out for hours. Never eating here again. You shouldn't either read more

EXCELLENT!! the house lo mein was jam packed with proteins. the general tsos chicken were big & tender. the chicken egg foo young was spot on delicious & there wasnt a morsel left of the shrimp w/broccoli. even the plain white rice was good! weve ordered here several times before but this was by far the best. thank you so much!! read more

Placed order over the phone. Delivery was earlier than expected too! Everything came as ordered. Piping hot and ready to eat. Note to self, NOT to order fresh Scallops in garlic sauce, there weren't many Scallops though plenty of carrots (filler)....lol Everything else was good and priced reasonable....for a chain enterprise. Best part, they are very close to where I am staying - convenient. read more

If you want decent, fast, decently priced takeout Chinese food, this is the spot. We usually get the scallion pancakes, crispy noodles with seafood, eggplant, mushu pork, sizzling beef, general Tso chicken, and the fried fish read more

Food was great. Not too oily and food tasted fresh. Lo mein had good flavoring and they put a lot of it into the bowl. The orange chicken consisted of large pieces of chicken breast covered with flour. I personally like this because it meant more protein compared to other Chinese restaurants that have smaller amounts of chicken and more flour. Only thing I thought could be improved is increasing the proportion of beef in the beef & snowpeas dish. Most of the space was filled with snow peas and bamboo shoots I believe. read more

I did an Uber order from this place during Sunday lunch and selected the no rush delivery. It arrived within the expected timeframe and was packaged well. My order consisted of small Moo Goo Gai Pan, Moo Shu Pork, Pork in Hunan Style, and Sha Cha Pork. Each entree came with a small side of rice and fortune cookie. In addition, the Moo Shu Pork came with 4 pancake wrappers and a sweet dipping sauce (plum sauce) on the side. Each dish had a variety of vegetables. The Moo Goo Gai Pan contains mushroom, snow peas, broccoli, water chestnut, bamboo shoots, and chicken. The Moo Shu Pork contains cabbage, mushroom, scrambled eggs, and pork. Pork in Hunan Style and Sha Cha Pork are spicy dishes (not strong for people with medium or higher spicy level tolerances) that had many of the same ingredients and tasted pretty similar. Overall, good portions, good price, good taste. I wouldn't mind ordering from here again. read more

This is our go to place. We mostly carry out . Food is full of flavor.Love their Chicken Corn Soup. Lomein is my all time favorite. I usually order Sesame Chicken . Nice portion . For Friday evening take out this is the best place to eat dinner. read more

This is our go-to Chinese spot in the area! We've always ordered from here when we've had our cravings for American-Chinese food since moving to the area and it has been consistent each time. Their menu has a huge variety of appetizers, rices, noodles, veggies, and all of the meats (beef, chicken, seafood, pork, etc.) and it's easy to get overwhelmed. My husband is a big fan of the corn and chicken soup and lo mein and I love their fried rice with Chinese sausage as well as their Singapore street noodles. You also can't go wrong with their Szechuan string beans, the spicy kick makes eating vegetables fun. Each order comes with plenty of rice as well as fortune cookies. Portions are fair and sharable. We've ordered through delivery services as we were quarantined during the pandemic but I've gone to pickup in person as well and the food is always comes freshly prepared. read more

Ordered out which is all I think you can do currently. The food was good and well prepared. It was a lot of food which was nice for two meals! The price was good as well for the amount of food you get. If you are looking for quick take out this place was delicious and deserves a try! read more

One of the best Chinese places in our area! I like them more for"eat in" because of their nice simply decorated place and the friendly high quality service and they are also delivering in 4 miles radius for free and I believe they can reach further distance now with UBEReats "use code : eats-uberkareem89 " for a discount on your first order! I've tried *Chicken & Shrimp Curry fried rice! 5 stars *Drunken noodles with beef! 5 stars but it's a little different than the Thai restaurants!! *Singapore noodles with chicken & shrimp 5 stars! So basically everything I tried was 5 stars till now and the menu still so big! They have beer and wine so they can work for a meeting or a date after work or on the weekends! One bad thing that they don't accept American Express, Discover or any tap payments such Apple and Samsung pay! Don't be shy! Give them a try! Dine in , Carry out or Delivery! read more

Dear China Express....Your Beef and Broccoli is one of the most delicious meals I have ever had. The broccoli is perfectly crunchy, the meat is juicy, the sauce is just the right sweet and it comes together so nicely. Is it organic? No. Does it have minimal ingredients that are all clean? Likely not...BUT, nobody and I mean nobody does it like you. I have been ordering this exact, perfected Beef with Broccoli from you since 1992. I was in 2nd grade the first time I had the beef and broccoli.... at the time I remember thinking this is full time. I mean really full time. I distinctly remember I would collect my dad's loose change (8.25 cents got me a beef and broccoli...this was the 90s/early 2000s) and I would ride my bike to the colonnade and order my beloved beef with broccoli. Moreover, I have been consistently ordering this for the past 33 years. What's even better is the you have no idea who I am nor do you care that I have been a loyal and loving patron for over 3 decades. To channel Big L, I need this beef and broccoli like the 90s bulls needed Mike. I now live in dc and when im in town, I always bless myself with an order. If you are reading this China Express, I love your Beef and Broccoli dearly. It is in my meal hall of fame and for that i am eternally grateful to your restaurant for surviving for 3 decades and providing the country's greatest beef and broccoli. A treat i have enjoyed from a child of 8 years old to a grown man of 41. Long live China Express! read more

Still searching for a great Chinese delivery restaurant in the area when I get the craving for basic Chinese food (fried rice). I have pretty much come to the conclusion that there are no decent Chinese delivery places in the Centreville area. I might just have to put in the extra effort for takeout vs delivery because there are some highly rated restaurants that only do takeout. Anyway, after a long week of work, I was home Friday evening and opted to order Chinese vs cook. Their customer service is up to par as our food was delivered on time and hot . I went verrrrry basic and only got the hot and sour soup with shrimp spring roll and beef fried rice . The spring roll was not good at all. The insides were not the typical insides for a spring roll and very watery which turned me away from finishing . The fried rice was okay. I will say the hot and sour soup was pretty good. All in all I will most likely not order from here again . read more

Delivery was on time. That's about the only positive. Food had no flavor. The crispy beef wasn't crispy at all. Wonton soup tasted like water. The fried appetizer was packed up all together and soggy. For $60, this was a major letdown. Won't order again. read more

China express is a great Chinese restauran. Food is always well cooked and delicious. I got the beef and broccoli with white rice and wonton soup. The staff is very friendly and I recommend this place to other families looking for a quick grab and go spot. read more

I've had take out here before, but not my favorite. The beef and broccoli and shrimp hunan style had similar tasting sauces. Both were okay. The Kung po chicken was not very good and lacked flavor. The fried rice was probably the best. Skip on the hot and sour soup. They are only offering take out, which seems to be busy. Staff were nice, but will stick to our usual spot in the future. read more

My go to Chinese restaurant. The food is excellent. They don't have tables anymore since COVID-19. It's basically take out only.

This is located near the Clifton Giant and I was always curious to try their food. The time finally came on a Tuesday when another Chinese take-out place near my house was closed. I ordered a Tofu with Vegetables as I would at another place, and I missed my usual one from the other store. This one from China Express was okay but it had less ingredients and was less flavorful. The microwaveable package for rice was great though. read more

Excellent food, good value, quick preparation! Will keep coming back! Love the fact that they serve sushi in addition yo more traditional Chinese food dishes! read more

The Egg Foo Young is amazing here. I always get it. Love the spring rolls as well. My family gets the Combination Lo Mein.

We just moved to the area and decided to try China Express for dinner. We placed the order online - and although it took a little longer than the time they said it would be ready, I saw that they were pretty busy operating as a take-out and delivery only service at this time. Covid-19 protocols were in place, and I felt very safe waiting inside. The food was delicious. We ordered the house special soup, crispy beef, sesame chicken and house fried rice. Everything was spot on, with great flavor. You could tell it was freshly prepared - tasted great! We're happy to find our go-to Chinese restaurant from now on. We'll definitely be coming back often :) read more

We have a few different "Go To" Chinese restaurants as we find different places are better at different things. This is my "go to" place when I don't feel well and I just want soup and noodles. Their House Special Lo Mein is some of the best I've had. It has generous portions of different meats and the noodles are not overdone or mushy like some places. Their hot and sour soup is also delicious. read more

We had the double cooked pork and the Hunan pork lunch combos and could not tell the difference except in the vegetables. The pieces of meat were huge, we had to ask for knives to cut them into mouth-sized pieces. There were no vegetables in the fried rice. The spring rolls were uninteresting. Overall the food was just OK. A bit salty and bland but not too greasy. Editable, but nothing that would make us want to return. read more

the best of the best sesame or orange chicken and there hot and sour soup..... yooo i swear this the best spot. no pork in soup and nice white meat chicken breast I ate every china town there a egg roll then shitsss was fireee 20 stars read more

The food has been uniformly really good, the only minor bitch I have is the delivery was slow... So now will just go pick it up. I have been eating here for 15 years and have never been disappointed. read more

Kung Pao Chicken We usually order from here as we like their selection of food (to include pad Thai and sushi). We ordered the kung pao chicken and it did not even resemble kung pao. The chicken was in slices. There maybe was a tablespoon of peanuts and the rest was HUGE chunks of green and red bell peppers. I have a food sensitivity to bell peppers. It was hugely disappointing. Don't order if you want real kung pao. read more

I'm upgrading this place to four stars. They offer Japanese as well as Chinese food. I think the ingredients and fresh and the cooking is solid. I've now ordered quite a few entrees and soups to say with confidence it's good food. read more

We have been ordering here for a few years, it is yummy. Before covid they used to have table service but now it is only carry out.

We get the chicken fried rice at least once a week. It is the best in the area. Their online ordering system is difficult to navigate so we just call and order. read more

NOTE TO SELF: Next time we need to order Chinese around here... Bitter broccoli in the broccoli and shrimp...shrimp was good though. Mushy chow fun noodles...not to funny. General Tso chicken...chunks still too big. Singpore noodles, good but probably loaded with MSG...but good. read more

I'm giving this restaurant three stars as an average of my carryout orders. Sometimes the food is piping hot and delicious. Other times, it seems as if they scooped the food from a buffet station hidden in the kitchen because the food is warm at best. I always arrive at the restaurant ahead to pick up the food as soon as it comes out of the kitchen. The inconsistency in the temperature and taste has me thinking elsewhere when craving for Chinese food... this is too bad since the owners are really nice people... read more
