    Beef with Chinese broccoli

    Food is cooked to order, fresh, authentic, and fast. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Would recommend.

    Scallops and spinach. Served with rice on the side
    Brian V.

    This is a small little take out operation located near the office I'm working out of in El Segundo. It represents one of many lunch options in the strip mall. I went here the other day with a coworker when I walked in, I was surprised to find such an extensive menu. Lots of different choices here. I opted to get the scallops and spinach that came with some rice. My coworker usually gets the fried rice here. I thought it was super tasty and sautéed well. It went well with the rice and not too greasy. You can see the folks cooking towards the side right in front of you when you come in. This place has solid food and it's super easy to order. If you were looking for a no-frills for takeout place this is the place for you.

    The chicken mushrooms I ordered today.
    Kenny Wu W.

    I ordered the mushrooms chicken today. Food is spoiled the chicken taste like old at least a week old, and the mushrooms is cane food mushroom , vegetables are not even fresh at all . I wonder why there are no customers. Hopefully I don't get sick after I ate and I didn't even finish a quarter of the plate.

    Right side menu. Prices continue to rise every month.

    The food was good and service was excellent. But the price is extremely high. Over twenty one dollars for a simple noodle dish was kind of outrageous. Better to just get In-N-out next door and get enough food for two people for even less of the cost than one dish at this restaurant.

    We have been ordering food from Express Chinese food for a long time. We slowly stopped ordering during the pandemic and just recently started back up again. We ordered last Friday, 7/8/22 and here's what I have to say: Food: 3 1/2 / 5 We thought the food was decent. I remember when this place opened up, my parents loved their chow mein and my dad would always irder from here for dinner. That was about 20 plus years ago. We ordered chow mein again and it was good but not as good as I remembered. It had too many cabbage and les noodles than before. We ordered: shrimp chow mein, chicken chow mein, salt and pepper pork chop, mongolian beef, XO fried rice (which had a lot of shrimp), egg drop soup. Service: 5/5 The lady who took our orders was nice, friendly and patient as we asked a lot of questions. The one thing she said was whatever you see on the menu board is how the dishes come. They don't offer just the entrée, they all come with rice unless you're ordering noodles but otherwise how the dishes look on the board is how they will be served. Pros: love that the dishes are cook to order. They're fresh and hot and they don't take that long either. If you're in the area and craving for Chinese food, try this place out. They are in the plaza with In N Out, plenty of parking and they close late. Apologies, we didn't get to take pics of the food. I was too hungry!

    The last time I was here was when I took a shot at one of their chow mein plates. It was mediocre at best, if at that. Point is, it wasn't good enough for me to wanna come back. That was a little over five years ago. And then today happened when I had a taste for some kinda fried rice. Did my usual Yelp run and POP! There they were. I realize it's been awhile, so yeah. Why not give them another try? I mean, there should be good reason why they're still around, eh?! Only one customer ahead of me. I went for the XO beef fried rice, "no peas, no carrots, please?" "No problem!" Everything is made to order so I expected a wait. I took the time to kinda get the feel of the place: it hasn't changed much. It's a small almost hole-in-a-wall kinda spot and most customers phone in or take their orders to go. (If you're going solo and decide to dine-in, you might just get lucky and score one of maybe up to ten counter seats available.) I found myself walking outta there in less than 5 minutes. Nice. I wasn't too far so the food retained its heat. (I had to give it a minute cool because first bite equals BURN!) But it was delicious. It was exactly what I had a taste for - packed with lotsa flavor! I was also delighted to find so many pieces of beef at the bottom of it all, seasoned well and cooked tender. FOOD: 5. Quality and quantity. I had leftovers enough for a 2nd meal. SERVICE: 4. Not a lot of interaction, but the fact they didn't forget to leave out peas and carrots (unlike many other places even after telling them!), deserving of a 4. VALUE: 5. More than fair. $11.74 for 2 meals is a pretty darn good bargain. PARKING: Private lot, shared with a lot of other spots. It will be challenging during the lunch rush, so plan accordingly. OVERALL: 4.5. Impressive! I am coming back for sure. There are at least a couple of plates I would like to try, and after this experience, I doubt I'd wait another 5 years for that next visit.

    The food is good. This is a fast-food-style restaurant, like Panda, but with tons of better options. The People working here are very polite, and the menu is quite extensive. It's very affordable

    Express Chinese Food; Chicken Pepper bland.

    I feel like they might just be generally this generous with their servings, but we did also drop in…read more40 to 50- minutes before they were closing so that might've played a roll in how much they served us. Regardless, we definitely will be coming back. The service was friendly. The interior looked clean. Prices are fantastic! Purchased 2 combo B meals and an egg roll and it came out to just under $26.

    I was in the mood for cheap Chinese no-nonsense food. I have a go-to for this (a few blocks from…read morehere, matter of fact) but I felt like trying a new place. Yelp had this place on its list of recos, but there was something about this place that drew me in... ... and it turns out, I have actually been here before. But it has been about 30+yrs since, waaaaayyy before my Yelp years! (SIDE STORY: My GodMom and grandparents used to live a couple of blocks away from here and we often ordered food here back in the day.) They are incredibly popular. All their tables were occupied (granted, there were only three or four) but patrons coming through were non-stop. Staff were efficient as well because given the line (there were three people ahead of me) they got us outta there pretty quickly. I went for half white rice, half noods, black pepper chicken and fried chicken/wings. (NOTE: they packaged the wings separately so it doesn't get soggy from the black pepper sauce - love this!) They were good at providing disposable utensils as well as sauce packets. It didn't take long before I was on my way back to work. Noods had nice flavorful chew. Rice was fluffy. Fried chicken/wings was crispy and savory with a slight hint of sweet. But the black pepper chicken was AM.A.ZING!!! There was so much flavor packed in every bite and couldn't get enough of it! There wasn't a lot of fillers either, so that's a plus. Highly recommending this! FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 4. VALUE: 5. They give you enough for a second meal. PARKING: Lots of space shared with others. Not an issue. OVERALL: 4.5. I couldn't stop thinking about the black pepper chicken that I just had to come back the next day to have it again. Paired it with orange chicken on that second run. Not as great, but it is one of their more popular items. (Most people ahead of me ordered it and the pan got refilled during both visits.) So it was a delight coming through here again as it brought back tons of memories. I even remember making many stops at the laundromat next door. Also drove by my auntie's old house. Ahhhh, good times! I shall return! If only for the delicious black pepper chicken!
