Dragon Express
Randy M.

My wife and I stopped by when our current favorite was closed. The food is amazing! Very fresh and cooked just right! My wife got Dragon and Phoenix which was outstanding! I got a Shrimp Lo Mein and the Chef knows how to cook! Service was excellent! The ambiance is nice, new and clean but not fancy! This our new favorite!!

Brianna R.

My sister and I visited this little Asian diner for the first time last weekend. We were really impressed! It seemed like they do a lot of takeout orders, but they had a nice amount of seating in the restaurant as well, which we took them up on. The cashier doubled as our server and he was wonderful. I ordered the sesame chicken and my sister had the orange chicken. We were both given huge servings and at a reasonable price. The flavors were great and everything was hot and fresh. I would not hesitate to return next time I'm in the area!

Hot and Sour Soup
Haeley R.

This has been our go-to Chinese restaurant for four years now! We love the hot and sour soup, and the orange chicken is a classic. Service is always polite and efficient, and we've never had to wait very long. The interior is always clean and we feel very comfortable there!

General Tso Chicken lunch special. Super good!
Savannah R.

Such a great spot for both lunch or dinner! Each time I've frequented this restaurant, the food is always delicious and portions are very generous. I love that they offer lunch specials thru the weekend. Lunch is served with an egg roll and fried rice is $2 extra. My go to is the Mongolian Beef. Very tender & flavorful served with a good amount of meat and love the mushrooms! My only complaint is the pricing. My lunch total with fried rice is almost $13, which seems more like dinner pricing to me. The restaurant is small & clean and offers a few high top table as well as booths. Not the cheapest option but food is great!

Mongolian chicken

Me and my family came to eat here and it's the best Chinese food I've ever tried! The service was polite and kind and even offered us recommendations. The ambiance was friendly and everything seemed clean. We got ENORMOUS bowls of food with a good price. We loved everything about this place and anyone hating on it just doesn't know how to value good quality food.

Chicken Pad Thai

This place is amazing. If you read a bad review it is not true. The staff is super nice and very attentive to details. I order two appetizers and within 5mim one came out after the other, hot fresh off the stove. Shortly after my chicken pad Thai and orange chicken with fried rice came out hot and ready to enjoy. The food was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend 12 out of 10. 8/10/2025 this is amazing!

Side of steamed veggies   Yummmmm

Located in the Asian District of Mesa, Asian Cafe Express is a true dive in a strip mall next to…read moreH-Mart. They were highlighted in the Phoenix Magazine years ago. For years I have driven 25 minutes for takeout and never regretted it. High decor -No, limited selections -No, quiet -No, great food -Absolutely, incredibly friendly and pleasant staff -100%. Our typical order is a large General Chicken with extra sauce and Malaysian fun chow. The general chicken is perfectly breaded, deliciously flavored, slight bite and an uncious taste making you want more. The Malaysian fun chow has wok fried wide rice noodles with a hint of char, shrimp, bean sprouts,onions, veggies and a light but savory taste. Another home run! Don't let the exterior or inside decor persuade your judgement. Hands down the staff is second to none and the food is fabulous. Asian Cafe Express is an incredible value for the food quality and portion size. Trust me, if you give them a shot, you will also be ordering here for years. To the staff, fabulous job and thanks!

A Mesa Asian District Gem Worth Seeking Out…read more Asian Cafe Express is a lovely strip mall gem near H-Mart in Mesa's Asian District, and after 21 years in business, it clearly has a loyal following for good reason. We brought in a fresh lobster from H-Mart to try their "bring your own seafood" cooking option and chose the garlic onion stir fry preparation. It's $14.99 for anything under 2 lbs and $7.50/lbs for anything over. It came out excellent, served over crispy egg noodles with classic Asian flavors and plenty of wok-fired goodness. We also enjoyed the Peking pork ribs, which were deboned, tasty, and slightly sweet; the stir-fried green beans, which were fresh and well prepared; and the garlic spicy chicken wings, which were especially flavorful and highly recommended. The red bean drinks were traditional and satisfying, with soft, nicely soaked mung beans and no milk. Service was friendly, efficient, and personal, handled by a couple of ladies who clearly know the restaurant and their customers well. While we were there, plenty of regulars came in for takeout and several tables were happily dining in. Overall, we really enjoyed Asian Cafe Express and were surprised we had not stopped in sooner. Highly recommend, especially for the "bring your own seafood" cooking option and the garlic spicy wings. We will definitely be back.

It sucks don't come here…read more For those that kept reading, it's amazing. It's basically din tai fung without being surrounded with insufferable people. My favorite is actually the lu rou which is a very home style recipe that I crave frequently and it's executed perfectly every time. The dan dan noodles are very authentic but I prefer Americanized. If you like Szechwan peppers then it might be a dish for you. Obviously the soup dumplings are the highlight and rightfully so.

When a trip to Din Tai Fung isn't in the cards, Happy Baos makes a pretty compelling alternative!…read more Tucked into the restaurant area of Mekong Plaza, this little spot serves up an impressive selection of dumplings, buns, and other familiar favorites at very approachable prices. We started with the cucumber salad, which was wonderfully crisp and refreshing, followed by the spicy wontons. Those were a particular highlight, with a beautifully aromatic sauce featuring an almost licorice-like herbal note and just enough heat to keep things interesting. The chicken xiao long bao were delicate, savory, and filled with flavorful broth. We also tried the sheng jian bao combo, which had pillowy-soft tops and beautifully crisp, sesame-studded bottoms without any excess oiliness. The restaurant can get busy, but the kiosk waitlist makes the process straightforward, and service was attentive once seated. A satisfying little dumpling destination that punches well above its price point!

My family stopped in for dinner last night and had a great meal!…read more Here's what we ordered: - Orange chicken: it was juicy and tender and flavorful and real orange pieces mixed in. Our oldest boy couldn't get enough of it! We had some leftovers and he destroyed it the next day. - Dan Dan noodles: Really tasty, but heads up, the chili oil gives them a good kick. I'm not sure if I think the right noodles are used for this dish. It's too slippery and not sticky enough from a starch standpoint - Twice-cooked pork - thought this was mediocre and the pork wasn't cut properly. Usually use pork belly but seemed to be using pork butt instead so it didn't have the texture - Potato stir fry - it was sour stir fried with vinegar. I thought they should have added something to it to add some flavour depth, I guess I picked the wrong one. The food was delicious all around. The staff was warm and welcoming. It was quiet when we arrived, so we were seated right away. I believe we will have this as a potential option in the future! The lunch menu looks fantastic.

It was flavorful, the chicken was juicy, and the sauce was delicious. There's even chunks of oranges with it! The noodles were good but definitely has a kick from the chili oil. Food was tasty, service was friendly, and it wasn't crowded at all so we were seated immediately. My older son absolutely loved the orange chicken! We will definitely come again.
