We came here for the viral orange chicken and fries. We also ordered a combo B which comes with your choice of chow mein/fried rice/half-and-half. For the entrees, we got barbecue pork and onion chicken. The orange chicken and fries were cooked to order, and they tasted as expected. There was a nice sweet glaze covering the chicken and fries. The fries were crispy and covered with sprinkled cheese, green onion and aioli sauce. The order came piping hot and it was great. It hit the spot for us, and we were pretty excited. Watching the combo B getting made was awesome to see; they don't mess around with the portion size. I came with my wife, but it could have served another adult too. The combo B itself was your typical Chinese fast food. It's not the highest quality or the most healthy but for the quantity and the value, I was pretty satisfied. On a bonus note: the ladies taking our order were super nice and parking was easy. The seating inside was limited but we managed to get a seat when we went at 2 pm on Saturday.

Very personable and friendly staff! The server was always quick to let the customer know when a fresh batch was coming out. Good Chinese fast food. And their unique Orange chicken fries were delicious ! There are a few tables available if you want to eat there. We will definitely return again!

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I haven't been to this Chinese fast food restaurant for a while and they did not disappoint. They have new menu called orange chicken fries which seems to be very popular. While I was sitting I saw a lot of people ordering it. It is a must try dish. It was made to order and sauce was balanced. Also grabbed two item combo with onion chicken and spicy wings with chow mein. Portion was large, seems like double of PE. Taste is on par with other Chinese fast food places but their customer service win. This is my favorite Chinese fast food place and highly recommended.

Combo B (orange chicken & beef & broccoli)

Jeff L.

This is exactly what you hope for with a one dollar sign Chinese place! The place does mostly takeout but they do have 3 tables if you want to eat here. Their menu is pretty concentrated but they are really good at what they make. The combo A plate ($9.49) is one item with chow mein and/or rice. Combo B ($11.49) is the same with 2 items & Combo C ($13.95) is 3 items. I got Orange chicken & beef & broccoli and it was really good. Girlfriend got Orange chicken and mushroom chicken and it all was really good. The guy in line bonus said the BBQ pork is really good & Id like to try that next time. Also note that they don't give water cups so either bring your own or plan on buying a bottle of water or a beverage. All-in-all this was a 5 star, one dollar sign experience - we will be back!

China Express doesn't waste time on vibes--they focus on what matters: big portions, solid flavor, and prices that feel like a throwback. The food hits every time, no fuss, no gimmicks, just consistently good Chinese takeout that somehow fills both your plate and your fridge for later. I came once out of curiosity, now I'm a regular out of respect.

Solidly 4 stars. Huge portions and tasty food but I wouldn't say's it's the best quality. The chicken to breading ratio is not great but still a great meal. Parking is easy and the service is quick. There are a few booths inside to sit at so this is perfect for a quick tasty lunch and portions are large enough to share

Ate there recently and oh boy it is delicious. Saw this place on instagram with their new loaded orange chicken fries. Went there and they had a new item think i was one of the first people to try it. BBQ pork fries and let me tell you it was made to order and it was AMAZING. also tried other items. orange chicken and chow main were good and kung pao chicken was good but nothing crazy. definitely recommend this spot. go get the bbq pork fries and even though i didn't try get the orange chicken fries and you will thank me later. 9.25 out of 10 for me. #HypeIsReal

Chow mein and fried Jalapenol chicken with garlic

May T.

I came here for dinner while I was in the area. This is a family owned restaurant that is well-maintained by the owners. They make their food fresh. I saw them making their chow mein noodles and orange chicken as soon as those dishes run out. They were constantly refilling their dishes with freshly cooked ones. I also ordered their Orange Chicken Fries because many customers were ordering this dish and I thought I would try it out. Their orange chicken fries did not disappoint! It was freshly made and chicken was tender inside and crunchy outside with a lot of sauce and melted cheese on top. Fries were served warm and they marinated well with the tangy sauce from the crispy orange chicken. Crispy fries were topped with juicy and golden battered chicken pieces that were marinated in a glossy tangy orange sauce. This was a perfect combination of sweet, tender, and citrusy flavors in one dish made from boring French fries. This China Express restaurant turned boring fries into finger-licking addictive fries with their delicious orange chicken. I saw many customers like this dish as much as I did. A lot of customers ordered this while I was eating there. Just an info, they also make special orders for vegetarian dishes upon customers' requests. I observed many customers were happy with the generous portion of foods. Their to-go containers were overflowing with all the delicious goodness of chinese foods. Every scoop is generous and people can eat dinner today and lunch tomorrow with two items combo. Everything that I ordered tasted delicious and fresh. I will definitely come here again to try other items on their menu. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and generous. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Three words: Orange Chicken FRIES! I could sit here and explain how green onion, shredded cheese and sweet tangy orange chicken on hot crispy fried is the flavor combo you didn't know you needed in your life, but I have to eat this immediately!

Been coming here for years, great service and food. Nice, clean place. This is an amazing place.

China Express is one of those underrated spots that always delivers--great portions, really flavorful food, and the staff are super friendly. It's the kind of place you can count on for a satisfying meal every time.

Orange chicken fries are the best! The staff is so friendly and helpful. We just bought a place nearby and I'm so excited, this will definitely be one of our staples.

We've been on a bit of a Chinese food kick lately and spotted this unassuming place in a strip mall, so we decided to give it a try. Our usual go to is Panda Express, and this spot feels like an old school version of that, but with more traditional care and some more interesting menu options. I tend to stick to my staples, so I ordered beef with broccoli, orange chicken, fried rice, and chow mein. Everything had a better, more balanced flavor than what you'd typically get at Panda Express, and the staff was super friendly. The inside is really no frills no fuss. There are only a few tables inside, so plan on taking your food to go. Overall, a really solid find that we'd happily return to. read more

Saw on instagram the amount of food they give you and it looked fresh and tasty. The portions were good, not as good as instagram video I saw but very good portions. It's in a small plaza parking isn't an issue, they have like 3 tables inside it's very cramped, best to take it to go. For 2 items and chow mein and fried rice was only about $12. They do have a special on juice where you can get 3 for like $12 it's basically buy 2 get one free but I don't recommend. It was just all artificially crap and so sugary. Plus I wasn't to happy I asked for mango they gave me watermelon flavor. So unless you like ultra processed sugary artificial so called juice I wouldn't get it. Now the food, it was just ok, the bbq pork was a bit dry and not as flavorful as I expected and the orange chicken the same, texture was good but lacked flavor. Overall I didn't enjoy the food that much, for the price you do get a good amount. read more

After 25 yrs of Panda I hoped for an alternative. Yes it's a big serving but after like 6 hrs in the fridge, none of the leftovers held up as good as Panda. Only the mushroom chicken + the noodles. Not the rice - and the orange chicken turned to crap. The servers were very nice tho. Lotta Home Depot workers walking in the door when I arrived. read more

We had two orders of slippery shrimp, kung pao chicken, eggplants with hot and spicy garlic sauce, juicy steamed dumplings, and pork fried rice. Overall, both restaurants in Chinatown and Pasadena provide great food quality. The ambience was cozy with dim lighting. Our round table had a wooden rotating tray. They have pictures of celebrities and politicians who've visited their restaurant. Service was relatively quick, but there was a 20-minute wait for the dumplings. Valet parking can get difficult when the lot gets full. A few cars entering the narrow driveway had to reverse out of the way to let others leave. The kung pao chicken was very tasty with a good amount of spice. I noticed that the slippery shrimp didn't taste as spicy as the portion from Pasadena. Reviews say that the spice is adjustable. Regardless. it tasted great as it came right off the pan. The pork fried rice was delicious with a savory flavor that didn't seem overpowering. I thought the juicy steamed dumplings were the weakest dish out of our whole order. There wasn't enough flavor and heat from the broth. I didn't try much of the eggplants, but they tasted adequate for me.

Everything was prepared wonderfully and had tremendous flavor. I recommend trying their Hui Tou, stuffed with pork or beef, pork and leek pancakes, they also have vegetarian options. Their pork shumai was delicious, xiao long bao's soup dumplings were flavorful. Delicious. I definitely need a second trip here to try their soups and more of their variety of dumplings.

I'm convinced Hui Tou Xiang is one of Hollywood's best-kept secrets for Chinese food. I've been…read morehere five times now, and they consistently deliver - every single visit has been excellent. Our go-to dishes are the cucumber salad (refreshing and perfectly crunchy), green scallion pancakes (especially good with the chili sauce), pork shumai (better than Din Tai Fung imo), and the spicy pork wontons. On our most recent visit, we tried the sesame noodles, and I've been daydreaming about them ever since. The staff is always friendly and attentive, the vibes inside are great, and there's a solid drink selection with cocktails, draft beer, and bottled options. And the price point? Outrageously reasonable, especially in this economy. Consistently delicious food, great service, and incredible value. Highly recommend!

The passion fruit tea was a nice refresher for the highly flavorful meal.

It also appeared to me that the food tasted slightly better at the Alhambra location, but that may very well have been my bias. The restaurant workers looked more organized vs this location that has more of a traditional Chinese vibe, slightly tired building, not particularly clean, service feels a bit rushed and sloppy. We went there for Thanksgiving Dinner and it wasn't packed but we went at the opening time and the people kept coming. 90% looked Chinese which also speaks for the authenticity.

The highlights of the night were the celery root blini with crème fraîche and Ossetra caviar, the trout tartare, the duck sausage, and the grilled short ribs. And a special shoutout to the fried boneless chicken leg -- it was goddamn delicious! The wine list is exciting. It has some hard-to-find aged bottles. We scored a bottle of 2007 François Cotat Sancerre. Cotat is one of the most iconic Sancerre producers, and because his wines are built to age, finding a 2007 vintage on the menu here was a massive treat. While we didn't dive into the proper cocktail menu, my partner ordered the non-alcoholic Hojicha Orange Milk Punch, which was phenomenal, and judging by how beautiful the drinks at neighboring tables looked, I'd assume their cocktail program is strong. Service was stellar. Lisa, who helped us navigate the wine list, was lovely! She was incredibly generous, offering us a few complimentary pours of other wines to taste. Will definitely revisit to try other menu items and their cocktails!

I've been coming to China Express for over 5 years, and it's still one of my favorite spots for quick and delicious Chinese food when I'm around the area. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. My go-to recommendations are the orange chicken, onion chicken with jalapeño, and chicken teriyaki--they're all packed with flavor and cooked just right. The orange chicken is perfectly crispy and tangy, the onion chicken has the perfect spicy kick, and the teriyaki is tender and savory. The service is fast and efficient, even during busy hours. Whether I'm dining in or grabbing takeout, they always get my order out quickly and with a smile. Highly recommend China Express if you're looking for tasty Chinese fast food done right! read more

The food here is great. I do recommend this place if you want good fast Chinese takeout food. I will say the thing I do appreciate and love about this place is the flavoring. They do not over season or sauce anything from what I got (orange chicken, kung pao chicken, beef broccoli, garlic chicken wing with jalapeño.) They use their technique for their flavors. read more

The food at China Express is pretty good, but it doesn't quite blow me away. The flavors are nice, though I found some dishes a bit too greasy for my taste. Service was decent; they were friendly but not super attentive. Overall, a solid option if you're in the mood for Chinese food, but I've had better elsewhere. Worth a try if you're nearby! read more
