Definitely best Chinese food in Ridgecrest. .

Fantastic Green Curry and got what I requested when ask for "hot"! Ordered for delivery and it game so quickly the curry had to cool before I could eat it! Definitely eating there again. The proportions where large so got two meals out of the curry dish. read more

Good basic Chinese food. Fried dumplings were pretty good. Very large portion. Steamed rice was nicely cooked. Kung pao chicken was ordered extra spicy and came out OK but not great. Way too much onion in the stir fry. Sauce was good but not memorable. They did make it spicy enough at least. Overall, I would probably eat here again and try a different entree. Not sure if I would try the Thai selections here or not... read more

In my opinion the best Chinese food in town. The service for delivery is sometimes bad but the food is always spot on and the in restaurant service is fair read more

Excellent food and excellent prices considering the portion sizes. Also delivers fairly fast. Because the portion sizes are bigger than average, one order of, for example, orange chicken will serve two or three people. read more

Came here awhile back, I realized I never left the review I intended to. Went in for a girls night dinner. We ordered two entrees. Typically they provide a generous serving of rice in a bowl to share. We were presented our meal and when we opened the rice, we got skimped- it was a serving for probably one person. My sister had asked our waitress politely if we could have some more rice. The woman grabbed the bowl, scoffed in our faces and shook her head while she walked off muttering something under her breath. Taken aback by her rudeness we decided to leave. After we left and I calmed down , I called to give some constructive criticism to the owner about the rudeness of the staff. Apparently the rude waitress was the owner! I couldn't believe it. I'm appalled at the tasteless way we were treated after being frequent customers for so long. Upon seeing these reviews it seems as if employee attitudes and behavior is of no concern to the business. They seem to only care about their overpriced grease. Many other Asian restaurants in town provide better meals with quality service for a fraction of the cost. I would recommend anywhere else. read more

Absolutely delicious food!! Service was great and food was amazing! Will definitely eat there again! Buffet had a large selection to chose from! read more

Have been going to China Express for well over a decade but have noticed the general waitstaff attitude and quality of the food has slipped over the last couple years. I'd equate it to going from being grateful for your business to presuming on your patronage. Sometimes we have to wait 20 minutes to have our order taken and sometimes we have to take our own check up to pay after waiting 20 minutes for someone to pick it up. Recently they didn't want to honor a drink coupon because we ordered a drink that was 20 cents more than a standard drink, even though I said I'd gladly pay the extra 20 cents (20 cents on a $50-60 bill which I'd usually leave a $10 tip on). The waitress who'd been there since the beginning lectured me on how she explained to me last time they wouldn't honor the coupon. Maybe my memory is faulty but I can't recall the conversation going anything like that. Anyway, China Express used to be our "go to" place but I think we're going to start trying some of the others in town. This place used to be packed on Friday and Saturday nights but now I think I understand why it's not even halfway full anymore. Sad. read more

Dropping through town, found good reviews for this place. Had my reservations about Chinese buffet, expecting low quality. 5:45 on Friday and it was busy; very good sign. Clean place, nice staff, excellent selection. Would recommend read more

Best food in town ... great service & friendly staff ... buffet is really good plus they have the best curry in town ... so if haven't gone in a while i suggest you go and enjoy their food. read more

The food reminds me of when China Gardens on south China Lake Blvd was still here including the kung pao chicken, cashew chicken and beef/brocoli. The fried chicken dumplings are excellent. The pan fried noodles with beef was great as well. Service has generally been very good. read more

This is my favorite restaurant with great Thai/Chinese food and friendly service. I love their Pad Thai and orange chicken. This restaurant is perfect for my family of picky eaters, there is something for everyone. The buffet offers variety of food, soup, salad, fruits, and dessert. When we go there the kids love to get ice cream while the adults enjoy frozen yogurt. read more

This is probably my favorite place to eat Chinese food at in town but it is alittle on the pricey side. Waitresses are nice but I feel like they could be more involved with the customers. They don't take to long to cook the food but Everytime I've been here, there's never been more than 2 or 3 other parties. Wich is good because they're never packed!! read more

Amazing dumplings! I was impressed with everything I ordered, even bought carryout for later. The new construction is really nice and the staff was great. Price was very reasonable. Will certainly visit often! read more

We had the buffet. the curry with shrimp was very good, pork chops were OK but a little dry, chung kung? was OK, the shrimp & coconut shrimp were less than OK, The pad thai, crab rangoon & pot stickers were OK. A couple of desserts were very good or better: tapioca with sweet corn (excellent) & sesame balls (very good). read more

We eat here regularly. The food is always fresh, hot, tasty ...what more could you ask for. The people working there are very friendly. I recommend this as my #1 place to get Asian food. If you haven't tried it yet, do so soon. Weekends are quite busy and you may end up waiting a little longer for deli very. read more

We stopped by this place on a way back to San Diego (coming from Mammoth). Food was good and staff very friendly.

The price is a little high, yet the pork fried rice and orange chicken always taste amazing.

The food here does not taste well. It is oily and salty. We got a to go box and the food seems very stale. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

I have to say, the outward appearance and name of the business are both very confusing. "China Express" sounds like a place where you can get a two or three item combo plate and hit the road. When you show up, the windows are mirrored so you can't see in and have no idea what you're getting into. They should either change the name if they are a sit down restaurant, because China express screams fast food Chinese, or remove the mirroring from the windows so you can see what's happening inside when you pull up. I guarantee more business if they do either of these two things. read more

Always consistent. Their Hot and Sour soup is by far the Best in town. Quick delivery time. If you ask for something "spicy" it will not disappoint you. Amazing Kung Pow Chicken, and cream cheese wontons! read more

Good quality Thai/Chinese food. Curries are great. Clean new place. Serves good buffet. Also has yogurt ice cream like Pinkberry. Pretty good for Ridgecrest. read more
