Shoutout auntie in the front . Very kind and showed hospitality. Big and delicious portions of orange chicken and fried rice

The lady in the front was very nice and kind . Was very clean and the food was very tasty .

BBQ pork, Chow Mein, Rice and Orange Chicken

The worst Chinese food I've ever eaten!!! No AC and the food is terrible!!! I do not recommend no one.

I'm so disappointed with my food order. If I had eaten here I would returned the food. The chowmein was over cooked to the point that it's mushy. The fried rice has no flavor & the sweet & sour pork is absolutely te

Combination chow mein. Potato beef, fried rice.

This place is great! I've been meaning to write a review about it, but I'm so busy enjoying the food. It sucks that there are people that will scam them and make orders and they can't really make or take phone orders but believe me this place is worth it them not being able to take phone orders as much is not their fault. This is some great food. Great family owned business.

The total was matching ahaha anyways they have an awesome staff very kind even tho I was 50 cents short they def had our back so yummy will come back because the meat was sooooo tender and vivaaaaa Cambodia !

My family and I have been coming to China Wok Express for years, and it has truly never failed us. It's one of those places that just feels like home. The food is always great. Their hot and sour soup is my absolute favorite. I crave it all the time. What really makes this place special, though, is the owner. She is so incredibly kind and welcoming. She honestly feels like family at this point. You can tell she cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. If you're looking for comforting, reliable Chinese food with heart behind it, this is the spot. We'll definitely keep coming back for many more years

First time here with my wife , we pretty much ordered the same thing except we shared fried wings , the location was clean with plenty of seating , the options looked fresh and everything was nice and full , the service was quick and friendly , always happy to support local / small /family / poc , community inclusive shops The ONLY problem I had was my crispy chicken wings got soggy because of the steam from the plate , maybe lil paper bags that we keep open so the steam doesn't make them soggy. It's not the biggest problem but ya know .. can't wait to enjoy again read more

Was looking for good Chinese food and decided to give this place a try. Sorry to say not good at all. Ordered the food "looked decent" got home to find out the rice was expired. Like that acidic tasting type of expired. Took it back and of course couldn't get our money back. Owner offered to make us "fresh food" politely declined, I was not willing to risk my family's health. To note employee didn't even check the rice, almost like she knew it was past it's expiration. read more

Honestly my family and I were craving Chinese food. When we walked in it was boiling hot inside. I really wanted to get some rotisserie chicken next door at Los pollos, but decided to get something fast. I first saw the orange chicken and I told her it looks too wet and slimy but all she exclaimed was "it's good it's really good" so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and just had them serve us 2 to go plates. When we got home , noodles was just wet and slimy and the rice was over cooked, and as expected the orange chicken was not of good taste along with the other type of chicken we chose. I did not finish my food at all left like 90% of it along with my other family members plate. This was a waste of $30. I'll next time go with my first instinct and get something from next door fresh rotisserie chicken!!! read more

I live nearby and for the FIRST TIME, I tried this restaurant! I've been searching for a good Chinese food place with decent prices. And this, is for sure!!! the spot. It's a shop that's not busy and bustling, my friend and I walked it and had the restaurant to ourselves. However every little table is set ready to accommodate. The woman there was so nice, I think she's the owner as she mentioned having bbq pork every morning! She was incredibly kind, willing to let you try and taste a dish before choosing it, and is so excited to serve you. For myself: fried rice/chowmein, teriyaki chicken, kungpao chicken For my dishes, I felt the meats were very fresh. Incredibly juicy and flavor full (and with flavors of their own it's not the same sauces just used on different things. they actually carry a flavor of their own, a delicious one too!) I really enjoyed the kungpao chicken, I like it spicy so some siracha on top hit the spot. I didnt love the fried rice too much, next time I'd just get steamed rice! the chow mein is good and flavor full - its less like the skinny stirfry version like at chain restaurants and more like big thick noodles. I really like the stirfry version but these are yummy as well. my friend had: white rice, orange chicken, sweet bbq wings. he ate everything possible on the plate. I tried a bit, i found myself to not like these chicken choices as much. I like my chicken wings crispy - these were soft saucey wings the flavor was nice though! I just personally like hard fried wings. The orange chicken has some spice! While it isn't "spicy" for my liking nor too spicy for a child, it was good! I again wish it was crispy chicken but that's why I chose more stewed/grilled meats for my plate. I hope more folks can eat in with their families, this is a good affordable spot needing more attention! Very happy with yesterdays lunch (and left overs as dinner!). I will be seeing this restaurant again soon for my chinese food fix. read more

The lady kept asking if I was there to pick up a DoorDash order, even after I told her twice that I wasn't. It felt like she didn't believe the order was actually mine, which made the experience uncomfortable.

George doesn't want to go out these days. He says "Oh to be eighty again."…read moreHe wanted Chinese food so I yelped it (using a noun as a verb like the kids do) an spied a 4.5-star place in Norwalk. I said "Ho Ho" trying to sound like Santa Clause, and my wife replied "That's where Tracy and I used to go," ignoring my brilliant entendre. I drove there and ordered what I was told to order. The lady running the counter was fast and efficient, juggling several walk-in customers as well as those who were seated with speed and aplomb. Not Disney-nice, but Asian-efficient. As I waited the ten minutes or so she'd told me it would take, I spied the cans of soft drinks in the cooler and stood up to grab some cash from my wallet. Before I could, the lady brought me a can of Mountain Dew, badged "American Dee" for our country's recent big birthday, and gave it to me *gratis*. That was really nice of her. The portions were more than enough with two main items and pork fried rice, family style. There was plenty of rice left over for George and I had the rest of the Kung Pau beef a few days later. Oh, it listed as being spicy but it really wasn't since I picked past the red peppers. I think it was the Kung Pau. It was good both times.

Hello I'm Justin I have been to this place many times. Probably around 3-4 times and Everytime they do not disappoint. I have tried there Teriyaki Chicken which was super tender and soft , their spicy orange chicken is so good and I really love their ribs and lo mein. Everything is seasoned well and has a great taste Everytime I go in. I try to get new items Everytime I go in and they never disappoint here. Food is cooked freshly every morning and you can really taste the freshness. I have eaten a lot of crappy food in my life and I have tasted a lot of unseasoned food in my life and this place DOES NOT have any of this. I wish I had pictures to show how amazing their portion sizes are for the prices they have. Way bigger portions then panda express and less expensive but this place some how has way more fresher food then panda. Makes no sense how they do it. Honestly deserve a 5/5 stars because of how tasty the food is and how nice they are. 100% planning on going back again!! read more

My son and I absolutely love this place! We were heartbroken when we went one time and found it closed down. After being closed for months, I was so happy to find them open again today! I cannot express how excited I was to see them back in business. Apparently, they've been struggling due to rising insurance costs, and it's such a relief to see them powering through. This place has been a staple in the community for so long, and I truly hope it stays around for years to come. The food is consistently delicious and authentic, and the staff is always so friendly and sweet. If you're looking for a great Chinese spot in Downey, I highly recommend them! Support this gem! read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid with my mom and grandparents. It warms my heart knowing that after a long time, the interior is still the same. The atmosphere and the classic taste of the food gives such nostalgia. I know this place has been in business for at least 20 years or more and the same great hospitality of the owners reflects that. The wonderful woman there always makes me feel welcome and she makes sure I leave feeling full and happy. The food plates are always packed to the brim. She makes a great egg drop soup. I encourage people to not pass up this place the next time they're looking to eat classic Chinese American food. read more

I recently had the pleasure to visit this place again after its grand reopening, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience, just as I remember! I got the Combo B plate with their signature chow mein/fried rice, orange chicken, and mushroom/zucchini/chicken. The orange chicken really stood out to me, especially as it was crispy and coated in a deliciously rich sauce. The Thai Tea is also a must-try as it pairs refreshingly well with the food. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food and generous portions. It is clear that they take pride in their food and service. Highly recommend. read more

Tried this place out because bf and I wanted chinese food but we're both particular about places we try because other places are bad overall but this spot is SO good and the thai tea is super delicious! The inside is very clean and looks wonderful for dining in. Service was excellent as they gave us some extras and are very very kind. I love bbq pork and have yet to try it from here but the potatoes here are really flavorful and filling! read more

Absolutely amazing Chinese takeout! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The orange chicken was crispy and not overly sweet, the fried rice had great texture and seasoning, and the portions were generous for the price. Everything was packed well and still hot when I got home. The staff was friendly and efficient, and my order was ready right on time. This is easily my new go-to spot for Chinese food -- highly recommend! read more

I choosed to eat there and relax while waiting on my daughter. I have no regrets because I got to witness the great customer service they provide, despite the challenge of understanding a different language other than english or mandarin the young man politely assist to help the hispanic clientele regardless of the times they kept ordering the wrong food plate. Food is really good, defenetly recommend beef broccoli and egg rolls read more

Food was great as always. I've been coming here since a kid and I've never been disappointed. The couple who own the shop work really hard and care about their food over everything. She always hooks jt up with some free egg rolls or some cookies. She will have a customer from me for as long as they are open. In these hard times it's amazing that they're still here but I'm glad they are. read more

If you looking for neighborhood Thai food, Narai may be the one for you. The service is always…read moreprompt with friendly service. I am simply addicted to their Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Tea. You can get it with boba for an extra $1. Pineapple Fried Rice is one of my favorites along with the Grilled Pork if I am feeling I need to be healthy and not thinking about carbs. This restaurant does use white chicken meat. Is it authentic Thai food? Not really but is it pretty good, yes. Plus its been there for like 40 years and generations of families simply love this place. The owner and severs tell me if they change anything, the regular customers get really upset. Best part about Narai is they have a separate dining area that is great to have a small party of 20-30 people or if businesses to do a catered meal with a presentation. There is no fee to use that space as long as you order food.
