Food was so fresh! It was made right after I ordered. I'm visiting so I ate inside. Even though it's a small space it looked clean. The bathroom was also clean. You can tell they care about how the food is made read more

This old school restaurant has been around for 30 plus years. We stopped by and ordered two lunch specials. Since they don't offer in room or sidewalk dining and mostly everything is to-go we took our food and ate at Victory Park. The Kung Pao chicken with fried rice and chow mien were really good but hoped the KPC was spicier. You can watch them cook right in front of you in those big woks that they use. read more

Egg Roll Express - Old school restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

This place is so amazing. I work just down the street so I just walk there to pick up my food and walk back to work to eat. I say it's amazing because the food is really good! The shrimp fried rice and wanton soup are very well balanced and light, yet it's very filling!! Even though the prices are going up I feel likes it's well worth. Safe to say they recognize me and became a regular read more

Egg Roll Express - Shrimp Fried Rice and Hot Szechuan Calamari - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

Went there today around noon ordered the chicken chow mein. It was dry. Also ordered the combo Fried rice had absolutely no flavor. it doesn't taste the same. Haven't been there in about 2 1/2 years. Not sure if there's a new owner definitely will not be going back. Oh and the cheese crab puff!!! no flavor read more

First time I ate there in 2015, I did not like the food. I tried it again in 2016 and started eating min of once a month. On Jan 2, I picked up Moo Shu Pork that was close to $18.00 and it was so tasteless. I will give it one more try, but when prices are going up, you should really make sure to maintain the quality. read more

Sadly, they no longer offer dine in. It was nice to sit inside and enjoy your meal here, especially when they had their large fish tank. Everything is cooked made to order, so it's best to call in your order, so you don't have to wait. There are benches inside and outside to sit on, but it doesn't make up for their now closed dining room. All 3 chefs are constantly busy cooking orders from call in, walk in, and of course deliver services. Street parking is available, but also limited to all the surrounding businesses. There's also a small parking lot in the rear, but access to it is a little tough. However, although the dining room is now closed, we'll still be coming back. read more

Pretty decent portions. Ordered the veggie egg foo young, and veggie egg rolls. Pretty decent taste, fast service, staff was nice.

Continues to be more problems with this place today. I decided after having issues in the past going there. I'm waiting for a long time to order my food. I ordered my food in advance. They told me I'll be ready in 15 minutes. I get there 30 minutes later, the restaurant is emptyaround him I'm here to pick my food up. They asked me what food I pointed out. I called. They told me oh we didn't get that order. I explained I personally called. They took the order took my phone number and I said oh well just wait. read more

I love Egg Roll Express. Not many places let you watch your meal get cooked in front of your eyes. It's fun to watch the kitchen fires as they whip out dish after dish. I've been coming here since 2000 and enjoy it every time. I think the food is pretty darn good. I highly recommend ordering food to go from Egg Roll Express. Today we ordered the pineapple and sweet corn fried rice, mixed sautéed vegetables and spicy eggplant. read more

I ordered chicken chow mein from this place and I don't think I will be ordering from here again. The noodles were dry, there were no vegetables in there (other than a few slices of onion) and every single kind of meat imaginable? Chicken, beef, shrimp, and some bright red meat that I didn't even want to try were scattered throughout the dish. None of the meats I did try tasted quite right and now I am having a pretty severe stomach ache. No thank you. read more

Egg Roll Express - mystery meat (shrimp, chicken, beef and... pork?) - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

So annoying yelp says open, google says closed. I've called before and no one answers had to physically go and order. Food is great, but you guys are so frustrating to get ahold of and to even order. Fix your guys info or something read more

I had their food before and it was good. Ordered again through Grubhub and it said it was running late... then it said it was on its way at 6:30. By 8pm they never showed. Super rude to keep us waiting 2 hours and not give us any notice they wouldn't be delivering. read more

Food is excellent and give you plenty to eat. Lunches are really good as egg flower soup is included where it is not in dinners. Prices are reasonable. Just a small hole in the wall with nothing to write home about; it is all in the food and service is fast. No eating space. And only take out. read more

It's a typical takeout of Chinese food. It's convenient, very reasonably priced and the food is good. I go there a few times a month. The people who work there are cordial and nice and friendly. I am a big fan of the Mushu vegetables I recommend it. read more

Egg Roll Express - Vegetable egg foo young with a couple of hairs besides the pancakes was as hard as a rock and my wife found them. So Disgusting. - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've frequented this establishment, off and on, for years.Excellent food, friendly people!

This restaurant location has been around since I was in HS and has always had resonable prices $. I am not a huge Chinese food fan but this place hits the spot when I have a craving. The location itself has changed over the years and is a very clean and casual atmosphere. Customer service is good; they are always polite and courteous. I once was given the wrong order and they switched it out swiftly as well as deducted the meal off the check which I was surprised about. Debit/Credit cards are accepted. My son and I like the sweet and sour chicken lunch combo and my grandmother enjoyed the lemon chicken lunch special. My son is not a fan of Chinese food but loves this place. My grandmother and my son did not care for the chow mein noodles which are thinner then they are used to. They said the oil tasted different then what they are used to as well. I myself enjoy them. Also, good to know is there are many vegetarian options on the menu. I'd definitely recommend giving this local restaurant a try! read more

I ordered orange chicken and it tasted like nothing I have ate before. The orange chicken has a way to thick batter coating. It's huge pieces and Not crispy and taste blend. It's fade and tasteless. I don't taste the chicken in the orange chicken! I couldn't eat it. The people running this business are ok but the older boss lady is alittle scruff. I won't be coming back. The food doesn't taste good. Actually taste like nothing just fat. The egg roll was very fatty and the wonton taste like fat too. And the chow mein was tasteless too. The soup was ok and the best from the whole meal. read more

Food is good service is great. The only thing i would like we would be like a combo plate everything is one item with a side of rice. if you get 4-5 items youre looking at a hundred easy dont order rice almost everything comes with a side of rice inless you really want more rice. each order is for like 2-4 people if you order 1 items and noodles feeds 4 people easily. Kinda price for some take out but its good. read more

This place used to be so good. What happened? :( Food was mediocre at best. No flavor and small portions. Got delivery and they missed rice on two my entrees. Very disappointing. Don't think we'll order from there again. Bummer read more

It's take out only, but best its the best Chinese food in the area. The chicken fried rice is amazing.

My absolute favorite egg rolls in LA !! Very fresh ingredients, anytime I'm in Pasadena this place is a must stop! The owner is cool, Wish I could order more every time, and always get sad on my last bite lol treat yourself to some really amazing shrimp egg rolls, won't regret read more

Good chinese togo in my area no need to drive all tge way to sgv. Good portions fried chicken wings are awesome and peetty much everything

Egg Roll Express is absolutely some of the finest Chinese food in all of Pasadena for sure, it is delicious, and every friend that I sent there was super happy, my personal favorite is the chicken chow mein. I haven't had much beef there, just a small sample so I can not give a fair full assessment, however all of the chicken, fish, and vegetable dishes I tried were fantastic, I highly recommend it! read more

Things that work here: Decent prices, huge portions, friendly service. Things that don't work: Food is pretty oily and greasy....I want to take a nap every time I eat this food. Mostly done take out, they make the dishes fast. There is a 10 min wait if you walk in and order takeout. Overall, if you need comfort Chinese food, this is an ok option. It's cheap and fills you up. The owner is Malaysian and is very friendly. The food is not authentic Chinese but is ok if you are super hungry and need something fast and cheap. The Hot n sour soup is ok, thicker and more greasy than normal. The shrimps in Schezuan sauce are not spicy but it's a decent dish overall. Overall, I go here only when I am desperate for fast/cheap food in this area...think of this as a healthier option to Panda express! read more

Well family was craving Chinese. Grandfather suggested this place. Food was just okay. Fresh food. Small spot but just okay food. The sauce they give u for fried shrimp is the same sauce for the walnut shrimp so that was the best part. Ordered won ton they didn't taste like nothing. No filling. Combination chow mein not a lot of shrimp. 5 max but a lot of beef. read more

Would order from them every day if they stopped using PLASTIC take out containers! Great food, decent prices, big portions but the single use plastic has got to go! read more

I ordered delivery using the egg roll express yelp page. It's supposed to be delivered via Grubhub. Egg roll Express actually uses their own people to deliver not grub hub, that's just how payment and order is processed. THE ORDER SAID 30-40 min, IT TOOK 2 HOURS!!!!!! I was ordering for my 92 & 89 year old Chinese Grandparents only 1.1 mile away!! I had to call Grubhub directly to see why it was taking so long. I ordered at 11:55am, eta jumped to 2:05, so at 1:23pm I called Grubhub. Their fast phone service told me that the restaurant was handing delivery and they were preparing now. At 2:00 the food finally arrived. At 3:35 the order still shows that delivery is 2:05-2:30. It was never updated as delivered!! NEVER ORDERING AGAIN! read more

THIS PLACE IS RAN BY WEIRDO WORKERS WHO HOLD GRUDGES ON CUSTOMERS OVER MISTAKES THAT THEY MADE. In May, I got a partial refund from Grubhub bc their lunch menu on the app is inaccurate. They have speciality chow mein options on there but when the food came it was just plain chow mein w rice. I also asked for the sauce on the side for the chicken, but the sauce was on the chicken. After seeing my food I complained to grubhub and received a partial refund of about of about 11 out of the of them 29 dollars I spent. Fast forward to today, me and my mom are scrounging up change to buy two lunch specials. We place our order only for us to receive a call that they don't have enough delivery drivers right now. The GH rep said that we would be getting our money back in 3-5 business days, but we were hungry now so we decided to call EGG ROLL EXPRESS to see if we can just pick it up ourselves . As soon as I call the restaurant worker has an attitude and keeps asking me if I remembered my last order. He wasn't listening what I was saying and kept asking " do you remember the last order", " I know you remember the last order" etc. I was confused because the order was from over a month ago but then I remembered. I tried to tell him that their menu was inaccurate and they got my order wrong, but he didn't want to listen to me. He already had an assumption about me before He even picked up the phone. He said they're not delivering to my address anymore because I think I'm too good for their food. LIKE HUH??? So he basically LIED to grubhub because they do have delivery drivers, but just not for me. All this pettiness over a small refund from a month ago. What kind of business does that? This is literally my favorite Chinese food spot in Pasadena. Me and my family love this spot and have been going to y'all for years. I've ordered delivery from y'all 3 times before with ZERO issues. After this display of unprofessionalism I'm never coming back again. All this over a refund that the app y'all use GAVE to me? Stay off delivery apps if y'all are going to act like this. read more

Eggroll express is the BEST Chinese food in Pasadena !! I have been going here for 15+ years my favorite dish is the Chicken fried rice with 2 dollars extra chicken. I also enjoy spicy orange chicken & chicken broccoli . 10/10 recommend . read more

This is a little whole in the wall kind of place, it's TO GO ORDERS ONLY, we had driven by it a few times and finally stopped, we ordered 3 items , Fried pork rice, Mangolian Beef and Vegetable soup, I think it's a bit pricey for the amount of food given, they were busy, not to personable, the soup was the best one of the 3 read more

This is my favorite place for Asian food here in Pasadena! Me and my family go here at least once a week. The food is better than any place around and i am willing to bet money on it!!!! The service here is also quick and very friendly. Everything is priced very average, not too pricey. the food comes family style so you can at least feed of 4-10 depending on how much food you decide to order. My and my families favorites are the veggie chow mein, crispy sesame beef, sautéed mixed vegetables, and the paper wrap chicken! I suggest you try this for easy week night dinner. read more

My family and I have been coming to Egg Roll Express for years! We always order the BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Steamed Dumplings, and the Chicken Salad. We've tried other dishes like Beef and Broccoli, Cashew Chicken, and Honey and Walnut Shrimp. A lot of great meals here, for an excellent price! You could always go to Panda Inn for a dinning experience, but if you want to save some money while enjoying some yummy dishes, this is the place! TIPS: you can park just long the curb, and be sure to keep 6 feet apart and wear your face coverings! read more

Egg roll express doesn't disappoint! Consistently good orange chicken. Vegetable and shrimp dishes are also standouts. Fast service, and friendly. A great neighborhood fixture. read more

Chinese food tastes goood and consistent. Ample portions. Customer service was friendly. They had a good selection of dishes to choose from. They get busy around meal times, so plan accordingly. Either call early or plan for a wait when it's busy. Worth the wait, though. read more

I think I died and ascended into heaven the food is so good. My school had a fundraiser there, so I went out to support and they cooked the food right in front of us and it was all hand prepared, and it smelled literally amazing. My personal favorite was the crab cheese puffs. They were so good, I could eat them for the rest of my existence and die happy. read more

Their chow mein chicken or beef is the best! I can say it is by far the best i have had. Not only is it delicious but the servings are very generous. I would've taken a picture but i finished my plate :) i have taken some home and my family also love the chow mein as well as their chicken fried rice. My favorite spot forever! The spicy sauce they give u is also so so good with the food. Lastly the owner is very nice/ friendly. Always says hello when he sees me there. read more

Egg Roll Express - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

Delicious every time. The people are so polite. It is definitely a takeout or delivery place but worth it.

ERE does not disappoint. Funny thing we've lived down the street for 4 years and jus tried within the past year but I guess it's been around for ages. A friend who lived here in the 70-90s was raving about it. First time we dined in for dinner cause it looked nice inside. Plus they have a big fish tank kids can admire (to stay busy!) We usually do the orange chicken and beef chow fun. Last night I did the sweet and sour chicken and it was very yummy! I just like this little corner Chinese restaurant. The noodles are a tiny oily but still good. I'll miss it when I move. I would def try it out if you've been considering :) it's not one of those where the food in sitting behind a bar under lights they cook everything to order read more

Best Chinese food in Pasadena. Just trust on that, whenever I'm in the mood for orange chicken and some type of noodles this is where I go. Best in the city!!!! read more
