I got to try this place thru Door dash. I was very shocked that not only offered 3 choices for a combination plate, but also 3 sides. I tried the 3 combo plate with: Kung pao chicken, Mongolian beef, salt & pepper fish, Chow Mein and Fried Rice. The best items were Mongolian beef, chow Mein & fried rice. They give a lot of food for the price, so I think you get your money's worth. One thing I will have to say, is after eating, I felt so thirsty for the rest of the day. I don't know if it was MSG or the amount of salt (although I didn't think it tasted salty), but this was more than usual. read more

Really good flavor but salty. I got the Mongolian beef( spicy). It wasn't spicy at all. The beef was very tender. The rice was soft and tasty. read more

My coworkers and I came here for lunch the other day and meh. I'm definitely a happy takeout on MLK kind of gal but that wasn't close to us. This place was okay and filled me up. Unfortunately it missed the mark. The chicken chile good was minimal in comparison to what I'm used to from the many times I've ordered it at happy takeout. I'm used to the entire big compartment of the tray being filled with chicken onions and jalapeños this plate literally only had the chicken you see. Which for the price for value was pretty skimpy. The chow mein was just that noddles. Not many veggies to add and why were they orange. lol, now don't get me wrong the taste was good. The plate really just missed the mark with value and veggies. This place was a whole in the wall but clean and passed the mark read more

We recently moved to the area and asked a few neighbors for local take out suggestions. China Express came up a few times. And it was unanimous. Everyone said to order anything salt and pepper. And it did not disappoint. We decided to get takeout dinner on a Tuesday night arrived at the restaurant around 6 PM. The restaurant has a small dining room but everyone was ordering their food to go at this casual Chinese restaurant. There is a large menu on the wall and some ready-made food to create your favorite combo plate at the counter. We ordered à la carte Salt & Pepper Pork and Combination Chow Mein that the owner asked if I wanted spicy and of course I said yes! Both dishes were flavorful and steaming hot when I got the boxes home. We will definitely be back to try their other dishes. What do you recommend? read more

Big disappointment :/ Lacks flavor, was craving Chinese and couldn't decide where to go, gave this a chance over others and regretted it so bad Cashier was nice tho read more

If you're old like me, you might remember this place when there was a Florin Mall. I'm so happy everything tastes exactly the same. If you're into salt and pepper food, the salt and pepper shrimp is delicious! They also have a variety of salt and pepper dishes! They give generous portions and the owner is always attentive and extremely kind. read more

I come here very often. My go to is the beef chow mein. I just take out the onions and add jalapeños. Another good option he serves is Vegetable chowmein. If you want the most flavor though, go with the beef. read more

It's really hard to find good Chinese food in the sac area but my sister has been hunting down a spot from our childhood and we think this is it. The restaurant looks pretty rough so we decided to order to go. We got two large spicy chicken chow mein and one large salt and pepper chicken. They PACKED those plates with food which I am extremely pleased with, the food was originally just meant for two but we ended up splitting it among three with tons of leftovers (see photos for leftovers)! The noodles taste extremely nostalgic of the noodles we had at Florin Mall as kids, except a lot spicier. The veggies were sparse as they typically are in this dish, but the flavor was really good. The chicken in the noodles was okay I honestly could've done without it. I wish I ordered non spicy though because the spicy noodles packed too much heat for me. The salt and pepper chicken was really crispy and perfectly cooked. The flavor was a savory explosion and paired really well with the noodles. This seems like a great food joint with locals frequenting it because of their amazing food and service. I will be back to try their other plates for sure. read more

The food is here is great! My go to order is the salt and pepper fish. Best salt and pepper in Sacramento! Don't worry about not getting enough food, they pack your plate! Always hot and fresh made to order. Service here is always great! Super friendly and always ask how you're doing. Never had a problem here. I would consider this a hidden gem in South Sacramento. Also, some of the best pricing too! Great price for the amount of food you get. read more

Was on the look for a fast food chinese food place, and sooo glad that I came across them. Was recommended the salt and pepper pork, by the kind staff & reviews. It did not disappoint. read more

I ordered a 3 item plate (orange chicken, sweet & sour chicken, beef & broccoli) it comes with rice or chow mein so I chose chow mein. First off they gave me two portions of sweet & sour chicken instead of orange chicken so now I paid a few more dollars for nothing. Then the food was not good. Chow mein was superrrr bland, sweet & sour chicken is disgusting tastes stale and old. Beef & broccoli & crab cheese wontons were the only decently flavored items. Also, I only went here because Hengfat on Gerber Road happened to be closed when it said they were open. If you want the best chinese food then try Hengfat instead of this nasty place. read more

Trust me. Order the salt and pepper shrimp extra crispy and extra garlic. It will bring happiness to your life.

Such a hidden gem, it's definitely family owned, the service is great, the quality and portion of the food is amazing. I love ordering party trays from here, it won't disappoint. The salt and pepper fish is my favorite! The ambiance is definitely makes me feel like I'm at a family restaurant , it can get really busy so bare with them. They work really hard , so be kind and patient! read more

Service above all!! I always order the salt and pepper fish or shrimp and it's always freshly made!! Order usually doesn't take too long either as soon as it's done they let you know. read more

The food seems to be missing the flavor. I got their freshly cooked orange chicken which has no taste but bland. It's hard as if it's been cooked all day. It lacks the quality and freshness in it. They're pretty generous with the rice and noodles portion, but that's not what I'm looking for. lol. Number 1 buffet is still better, in terms of Asian food. Better yet, go to Panda Express! read more

Bang for your buck but the food doesn't taste as fresh as it used to. Little greasy. Bland. The owner is a very genuine person and always shows love though. Quick to go spot for some basic Chinese food. Never been a fan of their chow mein. Salt and pepper fish has went down in flavor. read more

Amazing customer service! The food is always fresh. I always get the Sweet & Sour Chicken. Would recommend 10/10.

Huge portion and great value. Owner and staff were very friendly. I will be coming back! read more

The food is normally good. But I'm giving one star because when my Uber driver came to pick up my order, I guess another driver had stole the order. But the owner decided to take it out on the Uber driver who was there to pick up several orders and was trying to kick him out; he was also going off on the cook. The driver called me and I could hear all the commotion. Very unprofessional. read more

China Express is a staple mom and pop Chinese food shop. My family and I enjoy their salt & pepper fish, but any salt and pepper there is pretty good. FYI: they do stir fry with a lot of garlic and jalapenos for the salt & pepper dishes. They do hook it up with large portions of fried rice and chow mien when you order in and to go. Their prices have gone up but nothing out of the ordinary from other local Chinese food shops. This place does have a table and some chairs for dine in but preferably a to-go spot. I recommend calling the shop in advanced to order any food on the menu as the wait time can take over 30mins. They have hot food at their front counter station for ready to-go fast food option. read more

I came here for cheap eats one day and the cook came up and suggested the fried noodles . New item he was making . I came back a few weeks later ordered this delicious . Bruh I just wish this thing had more noodles and less sauce because I was drinking it at some point I felt gross because I couldn't stop eating . I'm a sucker for fried noodles love this stuff and was a pleasure trying it out . read more

This place is like fast food But for Chinese food. The food is pretty good and for the price you can't beat it. For about five bucks it comes with chow main, fried rice and two sides of your choice. They are very generous with their food and they're known for piling your food so high they have to squish it down with the lid. So one tray can feed two people. How awesome is that! Five bucks! Unlike panda express, they're cheap with their servings and its pricey for their quality. The food is fresh, sometimes they make it when you place your order. But they're always busy so they just keep coming out with the fresh food either way. They also do party trays too, and the price is very good just varies on what you order. All in all, I recommend this place to any one in the area. And if you're hungry and looking to save a few bucks definitely check this place out. Five stars for sure. read more

This place is a great spot for fast Chinese food. The portions that the lady puts in your plate are huge. She is vary kind and generous and at a dirt cheap price my friend and I always get a two entree and both get full of one plate. read more

I am obsessed with this place! I've been here four times in the past month. I usually order the Fried Fish Combo (5.25) with only chow mein as I am not a fan of rice. Just when you think theyre done packing on the noodles, they pack on another scoop!! Id skip the general chicken, it was too salty. The kung pao chicken was quite tasty and not too spicy. I seriously can't get enough of this place, highly highly recommend. HUGE portions and great prices!! read more
