this place is absolutely delicious! there's a small parking lot where you can park for free. there are tables to eat inside if you'd like, but it seems like most people came here for takeout specifically. i came on a wednesday evening and there were plenty of customers. service was super fast, food was delicious, and the price is unbeatable. expect a loaded plate. definitely the best chinese-american takeout on the westside. read more

Food here was delicious. The veggies are crunchy and fresh. Food here is very well seasoned. The rice noodles are sooo good! The chow mein is delicious! Great customer service! Always very welcoming and gracious. The portions are very generous, and the price is quite fair. There is seating inside. I for one only take it to go. There is also parking available. read more

Conveniently 1/2 a block from my home. New to the neighborhood, I had to try the food. Mainly steamer tray for with the typical assortment of Cantonese. The hot fish was good and the Kung pow chicken was great. The portion enough for two meals for me. $15 read more

Folks THIS place is my favorite place for Chinese food in L.A.! It's my FAVORITE chow mein in the city, bar none. I always order a large container. Always. The fried rice is really good, too, as well as the spicy fried fish and orange chicken. AND their prices are super reasonable. They even have bags of crispy noodles by the register! read more

Food is fire, always bang for buck. Come here often for lunch and it never disappoints.

Friendly fast service with great food and fair prices! Amazing in this economy where Kevin Hart had to close four vegan food locations of Hart House for his $16.50 hot chicken sandwich. As a Lyft driver with chronic extreme tinnitus https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/#8431,saw,v0.92 I have grown accustomed to appreciating a vegan dining deal on a budget. The server is fluid in her efficiency of movement with her equally fastidious partner cook. read more

Chinatown Express - Pleasant surprise to pay $8.99 and $2.99 for the veggie rolls. - Chinese Near Me - Culver City, California

Made me nauseous I dashed out. Avoid this place. Hate to leave a bad review since I like quick Chinese food. Spent $9 something plus $1 tip, totaled $11, so you get what you pay for. Had to add tip at the beginning if you pay card. I got steamed rice and some kind of kung pao chicken, it was nasty, tasted old, oily, like its from the bottom of the pan where all the herbs mix up together. But then again everything else looked similar and the chicken I picked looked the least mushy. Note I did get there around dinner time. Served in a foam bowl, 2 thin napkins, plastic fork, on a tray with dirty gunk on the edges. Ambiance was hot, sun was beaming through the shades, and on the food being served, the orange chicken and chow mein were in the sun. Also the only location a little bit away from the sun are the seats behind the trash can. I took a few bites, tried to like it, took another few bites and dashed because it was so nasty - which I've never done before. There is good ample parking though. Not sure why/how this place still runs, pretty sure there are food safety standards not being met. I suggest fix the sun situation from all the windows, clean the trays for those dining in, serve paper plates or something for those dining in, and request tip at the end of a meal. Other Chinese restaurants, pay an extra $6 get a much better dining experience. read more

It was okay. Granted, we did go an hour before closing but half of the items were no longer there so our options were limited. The items that were there were cold and just.. idk not that great. The hot and sour soup on the other hand, although a tad bit too peppery, was very good, hot and exactly what I was looking for. Will definitely try it again when food is fresh, but not for a while. It's small and cozy inside, so def keep that in mind if wanting to eat there. Definitely seems to have a culture of take-out only. Overall, try this place if you're looking for something quick and perhaps should try when it's fresher. read more

A little hole in the wall with delicious food! Prices are reasonable too! Almost everything is my favorite!

This is a fast Chinese food spot food is not horrible but it's not the best. It is one of the better and cleaner looking Chinese food locations I've been to. The service is fast if you're gonna order from the pre made food there and the portions are huge for a good price. If you're gonna order off the menu i recommend ordering that first it will take a little bit longer to get that out. Inside looks a lot better looks like it's been painted and got new signs on the walls. Decent spot good service and fast food. read more

Chinatown Express - Wor Wonton Soup. Perfect for this cold weather and when you're feeling under the weather. - Chinese Near Me - Culver City, California

If I could give this ZERO stars I would! This place cooks mice & rats!! The food here is absolutely revolting. After eating just a small portion of what turned out to be mice-infested, rat tail-filled food, I've been suffering from ongoing stomach issues. I'm beyond disgusted. When I went back to the store to confront them and showed them the rat tail I found in my meal, the employee was visibly shaken--he stuttered and, to my shock, handed me an AOL email address to follow up. How is that even acceptable? I am genuinely appalled and outraged. It's unbelievable that this place is still allowed to operate. The entire establishment is filthy and unsanitary -- it's shocking that health authorities haven't shut them down yet. The whole experience has left me feeling sickened, and something must be done to stop this!! read more

Absolutely loved the food, I think this place is good for both. Dine in and take out.

I got the Trump comb over special lol jk fried rice and noodles covering my 2 different chicken entrees. Great portion definitely could feed a "normal" couple. Place could use some tidying up, but food and employees thumbs up. read more

Solid place for American Chinese food! If you're in the mood for Panda Express in Overland and Venice, head east two or three blocks and check this place out. They have huge portion sizes and a large variety of menu items. It's all very affordable as well! My two item combo was ~$8-9 and was filled to the brim! It lasted me two meals. Free parking in the shared lot. read more

It's cheapest Chinese food around, but it's cheap for a reason. This is my go to spot and they load you up with food. The quality isn't the best but it tastes great. read more

Food is rad, the staff are incredible , the dining room is clean. There's limited parking so you gotta be strategic.

So yummy, well-priced, and really kind service! I love the variety of entrees here. Great for some grab and go food

I've never ordered the premade combos. I only order off the menu a la carte. Always so fresh and well prepared. Great service and friendly workers. I come in once a week to order take out after work. My favorite picks: Salt & Pepper Shrimp, hot and sour soup, beef chow fun, salt & pepper pork chops. read more

The food is Good, but lacks in zest. Everything is lacking the oomph, that makes a great Chinese food restaurant. The counter person was waiting to take my order the moment I arrived. She then rang me up and I was at my self serve table inside of 2 minutes. The restaurant was tidy and has a nice interior for a non franchised restaurant. read more

I've been coming back for the black pepper chicken. It's one of my favorites. The servers are generous, kind and polite! I usually dine in for lunch because it is very convenient! The location is rite next to a 7-Eleven so parking is just a few min wait. I definitely recommend this place over any panda express any day. read more

This a my go to fast Chinese take out. Taste authentic to me. Huge portions and great price. Basically a Panda Express but not corporate chain store. I order from the menu but the quick option is to order from the glass area. read more

My husband and I were craving some wor wonton soup and after a quick Yelp search, we decided on coming here. I ordered the Wor Wonton soup, and my husband ordered the two item plate with King pao chicken and orange chicken. It also came with chow mein and fried rice. Our food (especially my soup) was still nice and hot by the time we got home. It was less than a 15 minute drive. The Wor Wonton Soup was good. Lots of dumplings and veggies, a couple of shrimp and chicken. Really yummy and lots of broth. It wasn't my favorite that I've ever had but it hit the spot. The king pao was SO good though! I really liked it. I kept going back for spoonfuls. Everyone here was really nice. Customer service was A1! This was really inexpensive too! Super affordable. read more

I got the Combo C, with all white rice, jalapeños chicken, wings, and teriyaki chicken. I've been to a lot of Chinese restaurants in this city, and this is probably the best one I've ever been to. I highly recommend coming here read more

I ordered Chinese food - wings were delicious. But, next time I'll try their Hawaiian food. read more

I've been going to Chinatown Express for many years. Their wor wonton soup is the second best in the city (China Cafe in Central Market is slightly better) . The soup is packed with shrimp, roast pork, chicken and dumplings. Broth isn't too salty. From time to time I try other items from the hot food display case. Everything seems to be freshly made,probably because they usually are pretty busy and the food turns over quickly. I like the roast barbecued pork, as well as the chicken teriyaki. There are other higher end dishes containing shrimp and beef, which you don't always find for this value. The pricing is reasonable and the owner is a peaceful guy. They also offer a Hawaiian menu, which I haven't sampled as yet. Can't say a lot about the interior, typical strip mall restaurant. They keep everything in the customers view clean. I hope kitchen is same. read more

This spot is good good ! Idk what the fuck them other reviewers are talking about, but they food is fresh and they serve you a lot just like Fast food Chinese spots suppose to be well worth what you pay for, you could make two servings from one 2 sided order ,and they constantly taking out fresh trays of food . They noddles are bomb and the chicken wings too , they could do better on the egg rolls tho but it's okay the other great trays make up for it . Great customer service and does not nickel and dime you for condiments read more

Yummy Chinese comfort food. Not sure how authentic it is but definitely tastier than Panda Express.

Chinatown express is amazing. I come here all the time been coming here for years and it never fails. I love it !!

Like the value for what you get; usually... until today when my elderly mother ordered and paid cash for a meal but they failed to give her her change. Everyone make sure they give you your change!!! I now have a lasting bad taste of this food.:( read more

Very good value for quality food and friendly service. Parking and restroom easy access. Left happy and I will go back.

I was hesitant to try this place because of the yelp reviews but I was pleasantly surprised! The place is very authentic and the food and service are great. I got the combo A which is comes with one entree and it was SO MUCH FOOD. All for only $6.29 + tax! read more

Chinatown Express - Combo A with Orange chicken - Chinese Near Me - Culver City, California

The food is decent but the customer service is a nightmare.The lady working has no tact and is rude. I asked for my receipt after I paid and she told me to wait until she finishes serving the next customer. Who does that really?! I am going to think twice now before I return. read more

Great for takeout! The takeout portions are very generous, its magical how they manage to close the lids. We had to pace ourselves in 2020, the food is so good we kept coming back. Their chow mein is the best in LA. No need to hop on a freeway for good Chinese food. read more

The food was no good. The egg rolls were saggy. And for the first time my child didn't like his slush because it was water down. The people who work their were rude. Please just go to Panda Express, you will thank me. read more

Quick combo plates, large portions, delicious food. My son and I like the black pepper chicken, orange chicken, and kung pow chicken. We agree the black pepper chicken is the best dish. We sometimes order a full order of it (not just a combo portion) and request light sugar (lots of C food has added sugar - you might be surprised) which lets the other flavors come through more, but it's also delicious straight off the "buffet". The people who work there are super-nice. The two main ladies who work the counter know me and my son and they always greet us warmly and if I'm alone they ask about my son. They know what we usually order, and they take good care of us when we have special requests. Great place. Highly recommend. read more

I love the Coconut Shrimp, and I'm usually not a huge fan of coconut. Everybody who works here is super friendly, and the food is great--especially for the price. I always end up having some delicious leftovers. read more

Customer service was upsetting. They won't even acknowledged digital coupon (which SPECIFICALLY states the address of their location) that they're enrolled in. And refused to accommodate that the deal was already purchased through dining advantage. I wasted my money.. very disappointed. FYI this is the instruction: "Present your coupon and/or mobile device to a participating merchant at the time you request your bill. The merchant will retain your printed coupon. Or, for mobile offers, you will be asked to show your phone when redeeming." read more
