Food was fresh and delicious! I had the Shrimp with Garlic sauce and the Shrimp Chow mein. I was not a fan of the pork egg rolls so next time I will try the shrimp egg rolls. Other than the egg rolls , I enjoyed my food. I grew up on the East coast and the Chinese was amazing . This is the first takeout that matched traditionally what I'm used to. I will make this place a staple for Chinese takeout. read more

Picked up some Chinese check out today from China express. Conveniently placed an order over the phone. I asked for the pepper steak lunch special. They said it would be about 10 minutes. My order was ready upon arrival. The restaurant is small and comparable to similar Chinese restaurants with a little, small seating area. The restaurant was nice and clean. They have various lunch specials, and hibachi combination meals to choose from. Their lunch specials average just under nine dollars apiece. And they are plentiful. Overall, my lunch tasted very good (lacked a little salt) and the eggrolls were on point. I will definitely be back to try something different. read more

We visit this place when we're in Murfreesboro and the people here are so sweet and the food is delicious. It's a small place but always clean and the food is authentic. I love that they stay open later than most other restaurants and take-out places. Definitely deserves more stars. read more

Great food, good prices, good portions, very clean inside. Usually very fast for pickup. Even when they take a little longer, they're obviously working their asses off. Best Chinese food in Murfreesboro and some of the best Ive had anywhere. read more

China Express - a plate of chicken and rice - Chinese Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

We order China Express at least three times a month! We love their fast take out service. Ever time I call in an order, the are so courteous and helpful. When I get my food home, it's always fresh and hot! When I ask for no onions in my stir fry rice, they always get it right! The portions are plenty, we always enjoy the leftovers for another meal. The prices did go up a bit since Covid but than again, whose didn't! Still great value for your money. I highly recommend this business. In my opinion, it is the best take out Chinese food for the value! read more

I'm not sure it's the best in town, but they sure do give you enough for two. Portion size are big. Phone in my orders and pick up in 15mins and they had it ready when I got there. Close enough to home for my lazy days of not cooking. Had a large egg drop soup. Soup broth was a bit bland that needed the extra pepper and salt to it. Happy Family meal comes with steam rice, chicken, beef, and seafoods stir fry. Cooked in simple brown sauce. read more

My wife and I have been looking for a reasonably priced Chinese carryout place that we liked since moving here from northern Illinois. On the recommendation of some friends, we tried China Express. It was a good sign when we arrived and there was a line... I had the Mongolian Beef and my wife had the sesame chicken. The beef was the best I've had in Murfreesboro and definitely ranks high on my "best ever" list. Just the right amount of spice for my taste, served with fried rice and carefully packed and I mean "packed" into a reusable takeout container. Portion size was on the larger size. In fact, I have the remainder of the sesame chicken for lunch today. We'll be back to sample more of the menu. The fifth star relates to the wait. There was a glitch that resulted in a longer wait than expected with several orders coming up at once. read more

Honestly don't understand why this isn't rated higher. The sweetest little family runs this business, and they're amazing. Their food is fresh and light. The place is kept clean, and has clean bathrooms. Been there a couple times now and it's hands down one of the best spots in Murfreesboro if not the best. read more

Great place with fast service and wonderful employees very helpful and so sweet! We order her all the time!

This was a welcome surprise. we were travelling south on I-24 and wanted Chinese Buffet. We searched for Chinese and saw this (It is not a buffet), but we were hoping that it was. We were a little disappointed when we realized this fact upon arrival, but none the less we had already driven a few miles off the interstate to get here. I'm very glad we did. The place looks fairly new and clean. The lady taking our order was very friendly and attentive. We had Won Ton soup, Hot & Sour soup, crab Rangoon, and split the cashew chicken with fried rice. Everything was very tasty. The fried rice was some of the best I have ever had. The Crab Rangoon was prepared in a spring roll wrapper (something unusual to me) I really enjoyed it. The Hot and sour soup was good too but was lava hot & I had finished eating everything else before it cooled enough to enjoy it. All in all good food for a fair price. read more

China Express - Walk up to order. - Chinese Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

First time ordering last time ordering!! My food was drenched in sauce egg roll was very cold inside. The crab Rangoon is little square so your not really getting much. The hibachi chicken and steak was the worst part .Very little chicken or steak and it definitely didn't taste good . read more

I ordered the crab Rangoon/cheese wontons. One of the best I've ever had. My main meal was honey chicken, which I enjoyed, but the chicken was still a little bland. Not as "honeyish" and sweet that i prefer. The prices are right and location is perfect. I'll try again soon and hopefully be blown away on my second visit. read more

Just moved from out of state and I've been in search of a good Chinese take out. So I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try I ordered Beef LoMein and crab ragoons and both did not taste like real Chinese food. The noodles on the lo mein were stale and rubbery and the crab ragoons tasted nothing like the real ones, there was not a speck of crab meat nor flavor in it and the shell was made of an extremely thin layer of filo dough. I love Chinese fried rice but just by looking at the rices they make here its disappointing. Since when is the fried rice yellow??? I mean they should fry it in soy sauce and just that alone turns the rice to a brownish color. Plus where's the meat, eggs, bean sprouts and veggies???? I'm having such a hard time finding a good Chinese take out in the Boro. read more

Honestly, some of the best quality Americanized Chinese food I've ever had in any city anywhere! I got delivery and it was hot, fresh, and super quick! I got the General Tso chicken and lo mein combo platters with pork fried rice and egg rolls. The egg rolls we're crunchy and tasty with not too much oil and grease covering it. The pork fried rice could have been a fantastic meal on its own as the rice was well seasoned and the roasted pork was tender and flavorful as can be. The lo mein was AMAZING and they didn't try to cheat you by making it 50% veggies and 50% noodles. It was probably 5% veggies and 95% noodles, the way I like it! It wasn't too salty or soy sauce covered with a really nice flavor. The noodles themselves had a good consistency to them as they were thick but soft and didn't have a grainy texture or mushy/soggy consistency that I've had with other places and even retained that after reheating them a few days later. Among this delectable spread, I'd have to say the General Tso was the best out of all the dishes I had. It was crispy on the outside (even after delivering to me from the other side of town) with tender, juicy, well-seasoned chicken on the inside. There wasn't too much batter at all and the sauce was sweet and tangy and spicy but not to where the sweetness outmatches the flavor if the chicken itself. 5/5 would recommend to anyone looking for a good price, large portions, and top quality Chinese American dishes! read more

This is my favorite place for quick Chinese food. Love their General Tso's Chicken and the Boneless Spare Ribs. The staff is always friendly and the portions are generous. read more

They have the best Chinese food in town! Great food, always friendly service. Closed on Mondays.

Told me 30 minutes and I've been here for and hour still no food and others have cam in and left that order after me wtf

Very nice people but the food was typical takeout Chinese. Steak was so tough and chewy .. all rice was brown. Entrees came with fried rice with no way to request white rice .. fried potstickers were soggy. Crab Rangoons in egg roll paper .. honey chicken was very bland. Won't be back. We did get some free fried doughnuts though ... read more

Been eating here for years. Only complaint is that the General Tso is sometimes a little tough and they don't offer sweet and sour pork. Other than that 99% of the time I'm never disappointed. read more

The couple running the place started yelling. Then the man started beating the woman. It was loud. All the yelling was in chinese so I don't even know why they were mad. The food was okay. 3/10 would call the cops again. read more

I just purchased some pork fried rice from there for the 1st time and it was horrible. Smelled and tasted like the oil they used was burned. Couldn't even eat it because I was afraid it was going to make me sick. read more

I have been eating here for about a year now and the food has always been good. They give you good size portions and are quick. However, this past time I ordered a small egg drop soup and it had spots in it. I think it was mold but it could have possibly just been the bad brown part of an egg. I will not be eating here again because I don't want to risk eating mold. read more

We've tried China Express twice. The first time we ordered hibachi steak and chicken. Got home and we were missing the chicken. I call to let them know and they just keep handing the phone to the next person as if no one can understand me. After minutes of explaining myself, I give up and just eat what I received - the hibachi steak was okay. So here's how the second visit went - we ordered chicken Chow Mein and we get home and open it up to find out there are no noodles whatsoever. If you google chow mein, you'll see that noodles are a main ingredient in this dish. Instead we received tons of onions, some cabbage, fried rice, and ra minimal amount of chicken. In conclusion, we won't be back. read more

Theee worst hibachi dishes ever ....I had chicken and steak the chicken was scorched and the steak was very tough like leather my wife had pepper steak and rice it had no taste....sorry but the worst food i will never eat here again..!! read more

Visited for the first time tonight for pickup. Everything was great! Very fresh, tasty food and very large portions! Very clean and great seating. I'll definitely be back! read more

this was honestly one of my favorite places to eat when i lived here ! my dad and i would used to stop here every now and then and we loved it. we became regulars, and everyone there was just nice overall. they were really cool :) +++ the food was pretty tasty and they made it fresh !! read more

Have been eating here for 2 years now and I would highly recommend the boneless spare rib combo. That's my go to but I always enjoy trying new thing. Even when they are busy they take care of your needs and make sure the food is outstanding! Don't question it, just try it out I promise you won't regret it. read more

I tried this place tonight. It is nothing special, but pretty decent Chinese food. Then boneless spare ribs were good. General Tso chicken is usually a favorite of mine. This was just average. read more

I love this place. I used to cook in a Chinese restaurant in Cincinnati along side some highly rated Chinese born chefs from Hong Kong and Canton so let me tell you these guys know what they are doing. We've gotten over a dozen orders from them since they opened and the food is ALWAYS fresh and consistent from portions to flavoring right down to the size of the meat and veg cut sizes. I've been there on busy days and slow days and always consistent service, meals and cleanliness. This is an Americanized menu so don't expect authentic cuisine but do expect consistency on every level. I'll give them the 5th star for a bowl of authentic octopus soup (which I am sure they could do.) Seriously though, I reserve my 5 star for non carry-out type place, but this crew deserves a 5 star compared to any other local carry out. Keep up the great work China Express. read more

Great place to pick up some good Chinese food. We are able to call in a pick up within a few minutes. The service is great and very quick. read more

We ordered beef sticks that were harder than shoe leather and black. Chicken sticks all dried out like leather, coconut chicken was just shaved chicken meat deep fried to a crunch and than a little sauce over the whole plate. Everything we ordered went in the trash, We called and told them this was awful and they hung the phone up on us. Don't go here. A lot better places to spend your hard earn money at, read more

Just tried this place today. We ordered the General Tso's lunch combination (which came with very good Fried Rice and Egg Roll; that was not greasy). We also ordered the Wonton Soup. I have to say, this place was very good and I plan to return for sure! I grew up in both San Diego, CA and lived in Pennslyvania as well. I prefer East Coast style, specifically New York city, Chinese food. This was extremely close to the East Coast style I remember. The chicken was well cooked, breading had the right amount of crunch, and the oil didn't taste old and stale. Wonton soup broth was spot on and wontons were legit! I'm looking forward to my next time trying China Express. read more

I've been in the area for about a year and a half and am now regretting not trying this place sooner! I usually base my decision to try new food places on reviews and since this one didn't have many, I didn't. So I'm writing one! I've been driving across town for months for what I thought was the best Chinese food and tonight that place was out of rice (of all things right?). There are 2 closer to me and I know the other one (China garden) is not all that great. So I came to China express. The pork fried rice was awesome! I loved it, my picky fiance loved it and my pickier 4 year old ate his first and second serving! The egg roll was the best I've had in years, possibly ever! And I've tried a lot of different places in Murfreesboro, Nashville, spring hill and beyond! I had the general tso's and it was yummy too. No more driving across town for me! China express will be our new go to! Which is convenient because jets down the sidewalk is our go to pizza :-) read more

We have found management in this establishment to be very inflexible. On a recent order, management claimed I had ordered a large portion of rice. When I explained that that was not the case and that all I was asking for was the smaller portion size, management refused to adjust the size of our rice order . We will never frequent this particular restaurant again. read more

This restaurant just opened and it is the best Chinese food I have had in a long time. The ingredients tasted fresher than any food I have gotten from any restaurant in recent years. I mean seriously. They just opened and they were packed with people waiting for take-out on the Friday night that I went in. The restaurant is family owned and the owners were working very hard to get all the orders made and out the door. There was a bit of a wait but it was worth it! I think they will get used to the flow and things will run more smoothly as they get some experience under their belts. Definitely reasonably priced and I will be returning very soon. read more
