I cannot praise this establishment enough. First came here picking up food for one of my clients absolutely love the food and the staff is very friendly. Food was absolutely delicious and very large portions. I've been coming here ever since and as a matter of fact I'm getting ready to go pick up my to go order right now:-) definitely recommend giving it a try. My faves are the special order fried fish The Wonton soups and the vegetable chow mein read more

I don't get why they don't just sell salt and pepper chicken all day... it's hands down their best and most popular dish. The portions are massive, too. You'll be full for hours, maybe even to the point where dinner isn't necessary. read more

My hubby loves their chow mein and I love their salt and spicy chicken. Very reasonably priced plates so we take it to go and enjoy our meals at home! read more

Good food, great service, nice people, large servings, reasonable prices. I have nothing but good things to say about the place. And they've been there for many years. read more

Everytime i have family party, we alway order large trays from combo express and it is always a hit! our go to items are always, salt and pepper chicken, combo fried rice and combo chow mein and honey walnut prawns. The walnut prawns come on a bed of cabbage so don't be fooled by the amount , maybe you need to order 2 large trays for your family party! I do live quite a ways away so I wish there was a closer location as well as a more safe location. but it is vallejo so just watch your back! read more

Most recent Party Tray menu as of 2024. Order early because they get booked fast! Food is served fresh and hot! read more

Combo Express - Party Tray Menu - Seafood Near Me - Vallejo, California

The best salt n spicy chicken hands down. All their food is always fresh. If youve got a big(er) order for the chicken, they just cook a fresh batch. Fcn aaaamazing! read more

The food is good and they serve a lot. They do not scimp on the portions. The only negative part is they are closed on Sundays when I can only get there on the weekends. read more

Loved the salt and pepper chicken. Food is good. Large portions. Price reasonable. Lines can be long but goes fast.

I go here for one dish - the spicy salt chicken. It's a takeout and catering kind of place. Staff is efficient. I think the chicken is just great, and I make a point of getting it when I'm in the Vallejo area. I had a couple other things there that I thought were OK at best, but the chicken is really good. I make a point of stopping here whenever I pass through Vallejo. I have friends who grew up in Vallejo request their friends who still live there bring a tray of combo express chicken for parties. I expect to keep coming back read more

Combo express has been a slept on gem in Vallejo for FARRRR too long! If you want cheap, QUALITY, Chinese food that won't leave you coming back for seconds (because of the portions) then THIS is the place! From the pot stickers, to the spicy salt chicken, this place covered everything! I've been going here for 10 years and don't see myself stopping any time soon! I live 45 minutes away now, and still make the drive for this place! To-go only, but well worth it! The portions are massive and you absolutely get your moneys worth! read more

Big portions! Great for catering trays and our family faves are spicy salt chicken and potstickers.

Looks like there's either a change in ownership or change in management. There's a whole new crew in the front now. The portions are a bit smaller than before although it's still a decent amount. Before the boxes were bulging when they closed them. Now they close nicely. The spicy salt chicken are now extra salty, which is too salty for me. I won't be ordering them anymore. I haven't order the fried fish under this new management/crew, but hopefully they didn't make that extra salty too. The fried spareribs have been replaced with fried pork chop. The taste seems similar. Aside from that everything else seems to be the same. read more

Food is great. I ordered a lot of food and found out that you have to purchase for a sauce. First time I've seen a Chinese restaurant like that... read more

I like their bbq chicken and their ribs. Pretty quick and popular. Good combo options too.

This is a gem. A locally owned neighborhood spot to get convenient yet fresh and tasty Chinese food. It has more options and better flavor then Panda Express. My fav dishes are the BBQ chicken and the eggplant with tofu. The fried rice is better than most other places I've tried. And the chow mein is not greasy at all. Actually, their fried entrees never taste greasy or oily. Other dishes worth trying are the fried spare ribs, yummy but a little messy to eat because they have bones. And the salt and pepper chicken is always good. I will say it is in a strip mall that needs some tlc, but the ladies at the counter are always welcoming. And the food is consistently good. read more

The food was delicious . Fresh and hot. Large portions. You can't sit inside, the line is always long. (But worth it). Make sure you are hungry when you go. read more

This is my go to spot for quick and yummy Chinese food. The place isn't in the beat location but don't let that deter you. The food will definitely reward you. The salt and pepper chicken is the best. The best part is the prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. If you're in the area, I'd recommend making the short trek away from the freeway to give this place a visit. read more

Unassuming place , not a place to of you want to sit and eat , however their niche is their take out . Food is decent. Not great but enough to feed 2 or three persons depending on your portion how how much one can eat . Friend vegetables spring roll is good and their potstickers , i like their eggplant with tofu and some of their veggie dish that you can order ala carte . Overall value for your money is there but taste wise okay not great . read more

The salt and pepper chicken still smacks, Buuuut the portions had gotten smaller lol. Those days are gone my Vallejo peeps . read more

Combo Express - Portions got smaller - Seafood Near Me - Vallejo, California

hot and sour soup is spicyyyyy, if you like that then that's great. orange chicken is good and big. chowmein is kinda chewy but over a 4/5.

It was our (husband and wife) first time. We have been so disappointed with the lack of good Chinese restaurants in Vallejo. While driving through Vallejo down Springs Road we looked on Google, came across Combo Express. Great reviews. We purchased: Combination Fried rice, Fried porkchops, Fried Fish, HUGE Eggrolls. We found everything to be fresh, and delicious. And we not forget...the service was professional and kind. We will SPREAD the word! DELICIOUS read more

I went and picked up some soup and a few other items. I was very disappointed, the soup was cold and was under cooked. It appears that the quality has really gone down. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Gross we found a fly in our potstickers right on top. The broth for the wonton soup was ok but the wontons are ground beef balls, the fried rice was flavorless. read more

The salty and hot chicken is to die for. Outdated restaurant though. But the food is really good!

Amazing food, great pricing! The staff is always great help and kind ! Best Chinese food around !!

I've been here many many times with my family and we absolutely love this place. I'm a big fan of their shrimp chow fun and fish fillet, and my family often gets the smelt for family functions which is usually a fan favorite. If I get a combo plate I like to get half chow mein and half fried rice, eggplant tofu, and another entree that varies (typically beef broccoli, orange chicken, barbecue chicken, or sweet and sour chicken). This is a great place to go to if you want quick and easy takeout food. The portions of their combo plates are beyond great and well worth it for the prices! read more

I asked my Dad to pick up some food I had ordered over the phone . I ordered Combination Won Ton Soup, Combination Chow Fun Walnut Shrimp Chicken with Spicy Salt Mild Spicy. When my Dad arrived home and took out the food from the plastic bag the Combination Won Ton Soup had ABSOLUTELY NO won tons just pieces of chicken pork 1 Shrimp with some cabbage and Baby Bok Choy and a few slivers of carrots. No Walnut Prawns but instead a few pieces fried Shrimp and also included in the bag was Fish with Spicy Salt. Missing was the order of Combination Chow Fun and chicken with Spicy Salt Mild Spicy. This isn't the first time I've ordered food at this establishment. The previous times in the past everything was on point but recently VERY DISAPPOINTING!! I also asked the male person who took my order to repeat it back to me and repeated everything I ordered so was under the impression I would be getting what I ordered but this time it wasn't executed right! IMO Combo Express gets Food Service Industry needs to be attentive and pay more attention to detail especially in these days of the bad economy. People like myself who spend good money deserve better! read more

Try the salted chicken!! Aka chicken crack! So good. The food is plentiful and delicious. The ladies are so helpful and nice.

This place leaves me on my knees and begging for more (with all due respect). The people at Combo Express don't skimp out on their portions, and a sign of any good Chinese restaurant is being scared of the bag ripping when you leave. Their style of serving leaves nothing to question, you just point at what you want and go. This place is so good it ranks among the great wall and paper as China's greatest contributions to humanity. If you find yourself in Vallejo and looking for the best Chinese fast food around, Combo Express should be your destination. read more

TLDR: Great place for the Chinese take-out works with generous portions; also for large party platters! *NOTE: $15 min for credit cards and closes on Sundays~ Finally a Chinese takeout place with my nod of approval! In my ongoing search for decent Chinese food in Vallejo, this one finally makes me satisfied! Parking: Easy huge lot; in Springtowne Center right next to Island Pacific Supermarket Atmosphere: Quick-casual Chinese takeout with quick turnover (esp on a Friday night!). Definitely call ahead if you want a specific entree outside of the normal works or if you want a party platter (Chow Mein, Orange Chicken, Beef Broccoli, etc). If not, you might have to wait 15min for them to replenish with the next fresh batch. Price: A solid ~$8 for a 2-entree combo meal. They're super generous on packing the food on too! Pretty solid for a meal or maybe two because of that. Food: I got the Beef Broccoli, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Chow Mein for my Combo (~$8). I was very impressed. The chow mein was flavorful and has salty Chinese goodness. The Beef Broccoli was cooked well and pretty fresh with a good sauce. The Sweet and Sour Pork was also flavorful (but on the sweeter side rather than sour). Everything was great, especially because it was not overly salty, and with surprisingly no pool of grease on the bottom of the dish. The Pot Stickers (I got a half order of 3pcs for $3.50ish) were also pretty good! They are homemade and have a generous amount of flavorful pork filling. The wrapper is a little thick, but has a nice chewy texture, is crispy on the bottom, and is seasoned well. Service: The owners are Cantonese, super friendly, and efficient even with a long line. Would definitely come back again for my Chinese takeout cravings! Everyone gets the Fried Chicken with spicy salt, so that's my next venture! read more

Support local, small businesses! Combo plate grab and go Chinese food. (No indoor seating.) The potstickers never disappoint. However, the noodles are ok, on the bland side and the fried rice is decent. The Bbq chicken is similar to panda express and the spicy salt fried chicken is consistently flavorful but not spicy. They give old school portions (pile it on) which we can all appreciate during these times of inflation. The Employees are eager to help and friendly. Don't let the outside deter you, if you want a quick bang for your buck give them a shout. I'll be back! read more

Combo Express - Bbq chicken, Chicken with Spicy Salt,fried rice - Seafood Near Me - Vallejo, California

Walking in, it is clear that the business is under new management. But the food is still crazy delicious and the portions were the same for me (I called in my order and picked it up) - I was expecting to get skimped on the special salt chicken - but I got a bag, overflowing container and surprisingly not very salty. It was a good visit. And those potstickers... they taste so good! read more

Food poisoning?? WTF is going on ? Maybe health inspectors need to come inI eat the awhile back and was not impressed. Now a neighbor get sick off it you won't catch me here . God we miss Mongolian beef place down by target read more

While it was my first time making a purchase as a customer, I knew exactly what to expect from their delectable, crispy chicken that never fails to satisfy my cravings and leave me feeling optimistic for more to come! If you're looking for a crowd-pleaser, their chicken is the way to go. The customer service I received was top-notch, handling my order with efficiency and a smile. The portion sizes were more than fair, and the prices won't empty your wallet. Highly recommended! By the way, the place was spotless! It was overall a great experience for my first trip there. I definitely will be back. read more

Tried this place about a total of 4 or 5 times. They haven't missed yet! First off tall of ladies are always polite and give mutual respect to everybody, so be respectful to them, because they always hook up the plates FAT! Unlike Panda Express, they don't skimp you and hold back on the spoon portions, they literally fill it up as much as possible til the container can barely close . Sometimes I think she's done and then goes back for another scoop to add more !! Haha I love it . One two entree plate can easily feed two people, unless your super hungry . The orange chicken is ehh, that's a go to at panda , but here I recommend skipping that and going for the bbq chicken and/or the crispy salt chicken trust me. Two things I appreciate, they are consistent with their portions, and are always polite with everybody from all backgrounds who comes in. Lots of regular customers. Oh and i must add for my vegan / vegetarian folks, this place is cool but isn't veggie friendly because the fried rice and chow mein both come with chicken already in it. Some appreciate it, some don't. But it's there. Ahh now I'm hungry. Enjoy ! read more

Combo Express - Half n half fried rice & chow mein, beef n broccoli and bbq chicken - Seafood Near Me - Vallejo, California

Came here while I was working on a friends house nearby, great portions, decent chinese quickserve, no waiting, all the food is ready to go! But let me just say, they have awesome POTSTICKERS! Some of the best I have ever had and they are huge, crispy and delicious! You can make a meal of an order of them and on more than one occasion, I have stopped in Vallejo, just to pick an order or two up, to take home. Friendly service, huge portions, good deal, great Potstickers, run don't walk, go today! read more

I would stop by every time I was in the area. Loved the bbq chicken, potstickers and chow mein. I stopped by today hoping to get a couple combo plates, we were next in line when my husband spotted a cockroach on the glass near the fried rice I was so in shock that the lady asked if we were next and I just stood there not saying anything and just walked out. My husband said I should've told them right there and then but I didn't think of it until I got home and gave them a call. I'm so disappointed and won't be eating there again. read more

I REALLY wanted to like this location but I am so sad to say I was disappointed. I was craving some feel good Chinese takeout but not the family size kind but more so the combo plates kind. I've had this location on my list to visit all year and I finally decided to give them a try. I stopped by around 3pm on a Tuesday and they weren't too busy but it was starting to pick up. I ordered two combo plates. One with chow mein, beef broccoli, and their bbq chicken. For the other I got chow mein, sweet sour pork, and bbq chicken. After seeing the person in front of me order some gyoza I made sure to also grab an order of those because I LOVE gyoza. Upon opening the plates I already knew I was not going to like the bbq chicken and the beef from the broccoli beef. The bbq chicken had so much cartilage and fat that I could not stomach it; the beef was hard to chew I could not finish it. I did like the chow mein and broccoli but that's about it. The chow mein was exactly what I wanted. I like a thick chow mein noodle and this was exactly that. It overall had great taste. My bf felt the same way about the bbq chicken but did enjoy his sweet sour pork and chow mein. The gyoza was the winner here. They're huge!! Super fatty and they taste amazing. I would definitely come back to get the gyoza. Overall, I was so sad I did not have a good experience here. I didn't get to eat all my food and I'm still a bit hangry. Wah. read more
