China Mama Express - Wall menu - Chinese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Garlic heaven! We ordered the green beans, dry pepper chicken, spicy wontons and Woodear mushroom salad. The only one that did not hit was the wontons. But all the other dishes excelled. So flavorful and diverse textures. Also great value for the prices. A small little to go place with a few tables. We dined in and all they had were paper plates. A true express restaurant. The cashier suggested us dishes and they didn't disappoint. read more

China Mama Express - Dry pepper chicken, green beans, spicy wontons, woodear mushroom salad - Chinese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Ordered Togo. I had the sesame chicken, it was bland, 4/10. Also the meat pockets. They were good but extremely salty, would be good with lettuce for wraps, 6/10. Lastly I had the cucumbers salad, they said it was cucumbers with smashed garlic & they did not lie that's exactly what it was nothing else, 6.5/10 Will no order again read more

We've been loyal customers of China Mama for the past 7 years, which is why this experience was so disappointing. We recently dined at their Palace Station location on Mother's Day (May 10) and absolutely loved the food, which made us excited to order again from China Mama Express on May 17. Unfortunately, this time the food was nowhere near the quality we've always known. The twice-cooked pork had a bad smell, and the mapo tofu was completely lacking flavor. It honestly did not taste fresh or enjoyable at all. We truly hope the restaurant focuses more on maintaining the quality and taste of the food instead of just expanding to more outlets. Long-time customers notice the difference, and this experience left us extremely disappointed. read more

Crispy beef is good crispy duck so so ordered on the phone and ready about 20 minutes

Tried something new other than one by the house .Delivery service was fast. Being 5 miles away and getting the order out and delivered before yelp eta. Food is alright for a quick bite. But nothing to crave for. Orange chicken batter was falling apart so it felt like un cook for some. The sauce was good with the added chillies slices. The shrimp was awesome I like the garnish green onions with that fish sauce taste. I would order that again. read more

This was my first time trying China Mama and I was really excited. I regret going to the express location. Maybe the restaurant locations on Spring Mountain or Palace Station would have been better. I see a lot of videos on social media. It looked delicious. However, the food was awful. Biggest disappointment was the rice. How do you mess up the white rice? It was old, dark yellow, and hard. Ruined my appetite for the whole meal. The noodles were dry, tasteless, and bad. Crispy beef was hard as a rock. Was really disappointed. Crispy duck was tasteless. We could not finish the food and threw it away. Waste of money. I'm still considering trying the restaurant locations. read more

Got to try a whole lot from their menu because it is family style dinning and came with 5 other people. Each of us got something different off the menu and shared. The rice and fish soup, Crispy beef, and eggplant were my favorite dishes from the night, I give those a 5. My friends like those and also liked the tofu dish. The sweet shrimp appetizer is delicious too. I could have done without the crispy duck, it was kind of on the dry side to me and the sauce wasn't enhancing its taste. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice on the inside, dim lighting. The parking is tough though because the lot gets very packed at dinner time. The service was wonderful, all the food came out quick, and the waitress was helpful and attentive. read more

Been twice a week to their new venue in Summerlin at rampart and West Lake Mead. It's basically just a takeout store. The first time I walk in there must have been 15 to 16 people waiting for their meals. Usually I would leave but I'm glad I didn't. Unbelievable Chinese food so fresh and hot. This food is homemade Chinese food. It is not a chain like experience. Very gracious lady at the front on both times taking the orders. Very patient and gentle. Since the word is out. It's supercrowded. Got to tell everybody about it. Enjoy, looks like almost any dish is fantastic. read more

We love China Mama and decided to come here so we can skip the wait at the full service restaurant locations. We were not disappointed because the nice gentleman at the front was very polite and friendly. I was surprised that he came to our table to give us everything we needed to eat instead of us going up to get it. Food was just as delicious as the other China Mama locations. Establishment was nice and clean. Will definitely be going back! read more

Despite being called express there's actually a couple of tables for you to eat in. Order from the counter or online, it's quick and easy. Taste is exactly the same as the other two China Mama locations without the delay or hassle of trying to find a parking spot. Must try menu items here: mapo tofu, twice cooked pork, pepper boiled fish, pepper boiled beef, kung pao chicken, sweet and sour fish fillet, Mongolian beef, and any of their fried rice. read more

The service was fast! The food looks good! Just picking up! Still gotta try it! Faster than regular China Mama for sure! read more

As always late night take out of wontons. Mmm the spicy sauce is so good and it pairs well with their wood ear mushroom salad. No time for photos, it was take out but this is one of my favorite places to stop by and get something on my way home. Service is always polite and the storefront is well maintained and kept organized and clean. read more

If you know, you know. And if you don't, let this be your introduction to China Mama Express--an absolute gem serving some of the most consistently excellent Chinese food in the Valley. The crispy beef is our go-to favorite: always hot, crunchy, never greasy, and packed with flavor. It rivals--and honestly exceeds--versions we've had at upscale restaurants. The wontons in Szechuan chili sauce are a must: tender, perfectly seasoned, and swimming in a rich, spicy broth that hits all the right notes. The stir-fried pork with dried tofu is subtle but deeply satisfying, and the salt & pepper shrimp? Easily some of the best we've ever had--light, crispy, and bursting with garlic and chili flavor. We always get two orders of the house special fried rice because one just isn't enough. Every dish feels thoughtfully made, not rushed or reheated, and the quality shines through. No frills, no fluff--just top-tier cooking, generous portions, and bold flavors that keep us coming back. A hidden standout in Vegas Chinese cuisine. Highly recommend. read more

China Mama Express - Chinese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Where to start? In Vegas with some buddies and we try this place based on a recommendation from our Uber Driver on a previous trip. Located in Shanghai Plaza away from the strip this place could double its size and easily keep the tables full. In fact, if you have a group larger than 6 you will end up being shoehorned into a table. But the food and service easily make up for that. We had a group of 7 so our seating arrangement was a tad tight but they made it work. Sapporo beer and Sake helped wash down some of THE best Chinese food we've enjoyed anywhere. Seriously. We had several appetizers and 7-8 dishes and they were all fabulous. From Mama's Famous Pork Buns (you gotta try them) to the Twice Cooked Pork (spicy), the Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Lo Mein, Mama's Special Fried Rice etc, the meal was spot on. Mama has another place opened in the Palace Station Casino which I can only assume is bigger. So next time in town we'll have to go there. China Mama is the real deal. read more

Congrats to China Mama for being glossed as the eighth best Chinese restaurant in all of America by Yelp. Holy Pot Stickers, there are about 50,000 Chinese restaurants in the U.S. so that's quite the honor! (though I don't necessarily agree) Of the four entrees tasted: Mongolian beef - generous portion of nice tasting steak pieces with most of the fat and gristle trimmed off. Crispy beef - a mound of beef slivers that are battered, fried, then coated with sweet and sticky spices. Comes with rice and tastes almost dessert-like. Beef roll - looks like a wrap rolled up with paper-thin slices of spiced beef and then fried. Nice taste (hoisin flavor, as in Mu Shu dishes?) but could have used some dipping sauce like their website photo shows. Chicken fried rice - drab tasting with pre-frozen peas, carrot cubes, and under-spiced chicken pieces...the dish is prepared with little or no soy and a packet or two of imitation soy sauce added after the fact does not rescue it. Pass on such a weak attempt at this 'non-gourmet' version of fried rice. But aside from the traditional, there's also a nice option to order lesser known dishes which is always tempting to do. I was all set to try the 'Husband and Wife Lung Slices' for $15.99, but collapsed under pressure because a visual of Hannibal Lector saying, "Bon appetit!" appeared inside my head and wouldn't go away. In the end, I like most of the food at China Mama Express although they could class things up a bit. It's in a tight space and upon entering, there was one customer waiting for a takeout order while a staff member chowed down on a mini-feast in front of us at one of only three tables. After I ordered she disappeared into the kitchen, presumably to help cook it, while her half eaten meal sat there. She emerged a couple times, went back in, never wore gloves, her late lunch sitting there interrupted. An employee stuffing her face is never a good look for the diner to see when entering any small restaurant. C'mon, do better! But despite the weird vibe, the food mostly does taste good. Maybe they can improve on a few things to make it more worthy of the high ranking. read more

I definitely recommend this place, if you are in a hurry for Chinese Food. Maybe not as good as the original China Mama, but is still better than other Chinese Restaurants. One item I did not like, are the eggplant (one of my favorite Chinese dishes). The sauce is sweet and boring. read more

I'm a regular at this location, but today was a huge letdown. I always order the Crispy Beef, but today's serving was stale, rock-hard, and completely lacked the usual sauce. It felt like leftovers from the day before. I called the restaurant to express my grievance, but they weren't able to offer a solution. It's disappointing to spend $30 on an inedible meal from a place that is usually delicious. I hope they can improve their quality control and customer service response. read more

If you're from L.A. you know what outstanding chinese food taste like. Not just at the cuisine level chinese food but even buffet standard down to take-out standards -- L.A. is unmatched. That being said, this place lacked not only quality but at the very least it lacked flavor. The meats all tasted questionable like mystery meat marinated in a lot of star anise brine doused in sugary soy & citrus to mask the foreign meat taste. The fried rice had no flavor and was mushy. Even the green beans. Rule of thumb in L.A. if a chinese restaurant lacks attention to detail in their most simplest dishes (fried rice / veggies) what makes you think they'll care about any others? Spent $300+ catering for an event here based on a few local reviews...never again. Still on the hunt for L.A. quality chinese food in Vegas so far everyone's disappointing. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but the kindness and quality I experienced from China Mama Express deserve to be shared! I ordered through Uber Eats, but unfortunately, my driver delivered the wrong order. I called the restaurant, and Anne--who I believe is a manager or staff member--was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. She not only apologized (even though it wasn't their fault) but went above and beyond to personally deliver the correct order to my home. That kind of service is rare these days! And let me tell you--the food was exceptional. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and piping hot. From now on, I'm ordering directly from them whenever I can. Not only is the food top-tier, but the customer service is unmatched. Thank you, Anne and the team at China Mama Express--you've got a loyal customer in me! read more

Well... there is a first time... and a last. This is it for me. Today. Some 40 dollars later and realize that the tip I left (~ 8-9 bux) might've been more reasonable for the quality of the food today. Scallion pancakes barely cooked. No sauce. Chicken wings, scant. Hot and sour soup (while plenty) tasted burnt to a crisp. Hate to throw away "food"... but. Oh well. 40 dollars later lesson. No good east coast style Chinese food round here. read more

Best Chinese food in Vegas! Doesn't matter which location, the food and service are always

My son loved China Mama when it was on Jones and Spring Mt. I stopped by here the other day while my car was being worked on. It was around lunch time and I asked if they had a lunch special and they said no , but online it shows a Mama Special Lunch Box. So , I ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken which came with White Rice and I got a Soda. It came to $18.87. It took maybe 15 minutes and I ate about half of it there and took the rest home. The chicken was nothing special more like a lesser Panda version. I was a little disappointed. It did have Pineapple Chunks in it as well as pieces of Bell Peppers. I usually get the General Tso's at other Asian restaurants and not all of them put in the Pineapple Chunks. I wanted my son to try it since he liked it so much at the old location , but they were going out to eat that night and the next day he went to work and never ate the leftovers. I personally wouldn't come back here. I've had much better food for the price at other Asian restaurants. Also the guy at the register was wearing a mask which is fine if you are still afraid of Covid or whatever , but I could barely understand him when I asked him a question and made my order. The dining area is small , but clean. It's just too bad the food was almost like frozen grocery store food. read more

The food here was such a let down and NOTHING like the real China mama in China town. All of the food had a weird texture and the crispy beef tasted old. My dad who's not a picky eater even said this food has a weird consistency and didn't want to eat the left overs the next day. The chow mein was so greasy and also tasted like old noodles. Then the next day when I went to eat the left overs after it had been in the fridge, a weird blue color appeared on the chow mein. I definitely put it in the fridge so I don't know what that was. Absolute waste of $77 something dollars read more
