    I've already been eating for five minutes and this plate is freaking huge. This place is awesome. 11 bucks for 5 pounds.

    #2 combo with noodles, tso chicken & Mongolian beef (and peanuts).

    Great service. Fresh tasting. Clean restaurant. Cashier was very kind. Total came out to 13$ for the whole plate.

    Mongolian beef and noodles

    Every time, if I have a chance and if I am in Coachella, China Express is a hidden gem, I would always prefer over Panda . I like the people and their food . My favorite Mongolian beef and noodles, and add some hot oli sauce . People should seek this gem out. If there is a await, like on the weekend, it's worth it.

    This place used to be good. I haven't been here in a few years. I went after work yesterday & it was busy. I waited for a while. A few people waiting for food indoors yesterday were coughing all over & not covering their mouths or wearing masks. Service was friendly. Now to the food....utterly disappointing! The pineapple chicken was always good but yesterday it was bad! It was mostly over fried breading & super dry! The orange chicken wasn't dry but had a strange acidic artificial tasting sauce & the chicken was soggy. Not sure if I'll be back. Really disappointed by yesterday's visit.

    Food was pretty good. Not a big fan of the egg rolls. I got sesame chicken, fried rice, and noodles. Plus a side of egg rolls.

    Tofu with vegetables

    Okay as a vegan it's hard to find places with options. This place has two which is better than none! Their tofu and veggie platter was made fresh to order and is so bomb! A lil spicy but super tasty!! My mother who got chop suet chicken and chow mein was super impressed with the flavor of it all! Something they put in their sauce is just fire. A new favorite go to Chinese spot!

    I missed this place so much that I ended up making a trip to Palm Springs/Indio so I could try…read moretheir food again. Their food was still very good, and I was lucky to be there before they close for the summer. Recommendations: Garlic cucumber, clear noodle with dressing, spicy combo pot, stir fried lamb, spicy wonton soup, fish with sichuan pickles The only thing I don't recommend is fried eggplant. Portion was very small for the price ($17), it was stuffed with minced meat which wasn't in the description (I wouldn't have ordered it if I knew) They will be closed from May 25th through Sept 21st, 2026.

    Many of the items on their menu were "sold out" due to Coachella. They had limited items…read more Upon arrival there was a very distinct smell. We ordered from their already limited dim sum menu which was suppose to be available until 4 pm per their menu. ( we got there around 2:40 pm) Other parties arrived after us yet they were served their food before us. The service was not great. The food was subpar. They even charged me for food they didn't even deliver. When I expressed I never got the food yet she charged me she tried to get me to pay for someone else's food. I told her that was not my bill. I would not recommend coming here. The table was dirty and so was the cutlery. It got two stars because the pan fried scallion tasted fine and my daughter liked it.

    Had a business/pleasure meeting so we decided to meet over Chinese. The person I was meeting…read moresuggested we try JOY Asian Cuisine, the menu looked good so I was game. The restaurant is hard to find in the huge building and we ultimately had to ask directions but that's a minor detail. And if we had come through an entrance closer to the actual restaurant that might have been different. One thing that gave me pause is you can smell cigarette smoke going through the main casino building but thankfully the restaurant air was fresh with no detectable smoke odor. I suspect a positive air-flow system which is good. The restaurant interior is roomy, clean and pleasant with Oriental style decor which is nice. The staff were warm and inviting right from the person that greeted us at the entrance, throughout our meal and just as gracious upon our exit. We were there during the lunch menu which of course is limited but plenty of appealing choices. I ordered Twice cooked pork which though I have made myself I don't recall ever ordering it in a restaurant. My dish was very tasty with plenty of tender pork slices and filling enough I didn't want dessert. My lunch partner had Kung Pao chicken which looked good though I didn't taste, but he thought underwhelming, bland and average at best. If only going by my experience I would have given 5 stars but I have to take into consideration the opinion of my lunch partner for the benefit of anyone reading this review. I would eat there again but not likely anytime soon as it is an unnecessarily long drive when there are plenty of Asian restaurants that I like within my local area. Good but not 60 mile round-trip good.

Being completely ignored. After 15 minutes, we got our orders taken another 10 to 12 minutes. No drinks... we flagged one of the workers down. She brought us our drinks. Then two different servers brought us our food. Which was wrong. They were very nice. Terrible service but excellent food.

    If you're looking for gourmet, high-quality ingredients, this might not be the spot for you--but if…read moreyou want generous portions, affordable prices, and a bit of nostalgia on a plate, this place hits the spot. The food isn't for everyone, especially if you're particular about authentic Asian cuisine, but it's a solid choice for a budget-friendly, satisfying meal. It's the kind of place that shines when you need comfort food, especially after a long night out. Their drive-thru makes it easy to grab something on the go, and the service line lets you see your options before ordering. If you'd rather sit down and eat, they've got dine-in space too. It may not be five-star dining, but it definitely has a place in my heart.

Overall my rating for service is 4 and food 2. I hope this restaurant improves their overall quality.
