    3 items, rice and fried rice
    Margarita M.

    I always try to support affordable Chinese fast food spots, and this one really impressed me. It's by far one of the cleanest I've seen in LA. I love that they cook smaller batches and only fill half the trays at a time. It keeps everything looking fresh and hot. So far, I've enjoyed the spicy chicken, beef and broccoli, shrimp with vegetables, and Kung Pao chicken. Every dish was flavorful and freshly made. I'll definitely be returning to try more items!

    Was in the area and had never tried this place before, staff and service wasn't bad. Ordered 1/2 chow mein and 1/2 veggies with jalapeno chicken and kung pao chicken. Jalapeno had a decent crisp to the chicken and wasn't overly spicy, the kung pao wasn't that great and overall plate was ok. My wife had the orange chicken and from the orange chicken we are used to from other places tasted off and very different. Inside seemed clean. Price range is about the same as other chinese fast food places.

    After a labor intensive Friday helping my daughter move from her home rental to her apartment, I needed some sustenance to ensure I refueled because we still had Saturday to finish moving her out. I was craving fast food Chinese, but I didn't want the restaurant fast food chain Panda Express because they're stingy with their serving sizes. I looked up fast food Chinese near where my hotel was located and found Hong Kong Express. These mom and pop Chinese food spots are always generous with their portions and Hong Kong Express was no exception. Not sure if it was because I didn't eat what I ordered at the restaurant and ate it at my hotel, but the food wasn't as fresh as I would have liked. It still hit the spot and filled me up, but I give this Hong Kong Express 3.5 stars based on their generosity with their food and the professional demeanor of the lady who served me. There are multiple Hong Kong Express locations in Los Angeles, but the one I stopped by at is located in Duarte. It can be found in the busy Target shopping center. The restaurant is located across from Sonic and Denny's, it's a few steps away from an Italian restaurant, and it's next to Koki + Ku and Crumbl. There is plenty of parking at this shopping center. Hong Kong Express is similar to Panda Express where you can order by selecting items from several choices of Chinese food and then pay at the register. As you enter the restaurant, it is well lit, clean, and there is plenty of seating. There isn't much ambience and the decor is limited to a few Chinese hanging decorations and stringed lights. There are some machines where you can get cheap toys after feeding the machine some coins. The Asian lady I interacted with was professional and took care of my order expediently. I'll always choose to stop by a mom and pop Chinese fast food restaurant over Panda Express if I can find one primarily because of their portion sizes and value for your money. Hong Kong Express checked both those boxes like a champ. I ordered their two item Combo B, which comes with your choice of two Chinese food items with fried rice and chow mein. For my food choices, I selected their orange chicken and kung pao chicken. I also ordered two fried egg rolls. I happily watched them heap on generous amounts of food into my styro container. After my exhausting day helping my daughter, I was looking forward to stuffing my face with Hong Kong Express' food. When I ate my meal at our hotel, I cleaned off my container because the food was good and I was very hungry. The food wasn't as fresh as I would have liked. The egg rolls tasted like they had been on the serving line too long. I wished the orange chicken was more tender, but I enjoyed the kung pao chicken. Make sure to ask for their hot sauce if you like spicy because I made sure to dip my food into their hot sauce to make it more flavorful. I thought their fried rice and chow mein were tasty and complemented the two dishes I ordered. My daughter and I had a productive Day 1 moving her from her home rental to her apartment. Eating a stuffed styro of Chinese food from Hong Kong Express energized me for our Day 2.

    Dine in 1-entree plate with Kung Pao Chicken, Fried Rice, and Chow Mein. Pretty good stuff
    Melinda L.

    Was in the area and hadn't eaten much earlier in the day and wanted to have something tasty and also won't be too expensive. I thought of Panda, but wanted to try something more local. So after my search on Yelp, I found this small gem in this plaza in Duarte. There's a lot of tables inside, so anyone can have their boxed meal here. The tables are also pretty clean. The table I sat at had a grain or two of rice, but it's wasn't at all a big deal. The food here is pretty standard stuff with a few entree options, like Chicken with Green Beans, Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, and I think I saw Teriyaki Chicken as well. I went for their 1-item plate and they did a decent packing on my tray. It almost looked like a 2-item plate! The 1-item was like $9.47 with cash. They accept cards here, though I'm not sure if there's any minimum purchase or anything. But cash is always good for places like this, helps the small businesses. So I tried the Kung Pao Chicken with half Fried Rice and Chow Mein. It was pretty good, though the Kung Pao wasn't anything like the Panda kind - the chicken was deep-fried and slathered with some spicy sauce. It was still decent though. The rice and noodles were good. I think next time I want to try their other entrees, too.

    Beef and broccoli.

    Went here a while ago and meant to submit my review. Food was fresh and delicious. Service is always great. Food was made fresh because we made several batch orders to go. We've picked up quick to-go orders as well. Taste has always been fresh and delicious. Probably one of the best within 10 mile radius.

    Beef, chicken
    Aileen H.

    I honestly loved the food. They have rice noodles which is not offered at Panda Express. They also have eggplant and tofu which is also not consistently offered at every location of Panda Express. And those are two of my favorites and they were delicious! Besides those two standouts for me, they have the regular Chinese fast food items: broccoli beef, orange chicken, fried rice, teriyaki chicken, chow mien, egg roll..etc. This fast food restaurant is located in a strip mall in the same plaza as Target. After you are done shopping at Target, stop by here to pick up lunch or dinner. I got the 2 item combo and it was $11.97 after taxes. Service was fine. The interior is simple and dated. It's more of a grab and go place. Check it out!

    3 item plate with (half chow mein and veggies)
    Charnie D.

    If you are looking for a quick and cheap eats, then Hong Kong Express is the way to go. I haven't been here in years and I'm glad it is still thriving. Service is typical of any Asian To-Go place and sometimes you come during the rush and all the best items are being cooked. I would advise going before closing so your selections aren't limited.

    Great food great service restaurant is very clean they give you good portions

It was tender and incredibly juicy. Their BBQ meats are noticeably better than a more popular competitor -- juicy, flavorful, and not dry. - The breakfast 2-item combo is totally worth it. Generous portions and easily enough to share between 2-3 people. - The lemon iced tea and HK milk teas are refillable. - The restaurant itself is small, but so is the staff size, so expect things to move at a more relaxed pace.

I don't know how we did it but we ordered the blandest entrees -- rainbow chicken and shrimp with lobster sauce. They weren't bad just missing flavor. I noticed none of the people in the restaurant or picking up food were chinese too. So that explains it. We might be back (cancer IYKYK) and I'll order something that can't be made bland like mapo tofu or Kung Pao.

The spicy chicken nuggets has the right amount of numbing spice, paired with the crunch of the chicken, and filled with crispy chili pieces.

The duck is around $28 for the whole duck, which is amazing in this economy. It's a small store so seating is limited. I've never personally dined in and always ordered takeout.

They have many classic Chinese dishes at a truly affordable price point. The food: We ordered four different dishes: green beans (v), stir fried egg plants (v), mapo tofu (v), and chicken with rice. For the first three dishes, we clarified with the owner to make this vegetarian (also vegan), which she was able to do very easily and without question. We communicated with her in Chinese, but she also spoke English to us, when we discovered that our Chinese was likely not as fluent as native speakers. Everything was flavorful, without relying on just an overwhelming amount of salt, and we really enjoyed the green beans that seemed to be cooked in fermented bean paste. I found the eggplants particularly tasty too! The service: This small store had so much business, so we did spend some time waiting before we could actually order our meal. The restaurant itself was filled with folks dining in, and there were multiple parties waiting for take out. Even so, once we did order our meal, it didn't take too long for all four dishes to come out. For these reasons, I can't say service was particularly attentive, but they were still polite and I felt like they did try to make it a good experience for us, even if it was so busy. Everything else: They accept credit card with a small surcharge. Parking exists, but during dinner time on a Friday, expect it to be full and very cramped.

(Important Note: Walk-ins are accepted, but reservations are preferred since it's a small location. There's also a "regular menu" and a "reservation menu." If customers want the more exciting menu options, customers must call 2 to 3 days ahead and reserve those dishes also. Concerning payment, this business only accepts Visa, Master Card, Cash, Zelle, and ApplePay.) My family and I arrived on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day (around 1PM). I'd made a reservation the day prior since I'd been searching for businesses that stayed open during Thanksgiving. Parking is very easy. The private lot is spacious with many spots. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Staff mostly spoke Mandarin; however, there was one staff member that could fluently speak English. Staff is very helpful and professional, and staff answered all our questions. We ordered seven dishes; all the dishes arrived within 38 minutes and 16 seconds. Good pace. The Salt & Pepper Fish Filet ($14) arrived in nine minutes. Then, six minutes later, the Beef Chow Fun ($13) and String Bean with Minced Chicken ($14) arrived. Then, 10 minutes later, the Combination Fried Rice ($17) and Salt & Pepper Shrimp ($17) arrived. Lastly, around 14 more minutes later, the Scallion Oil Chicken (Half - $17) and Almond Tea ($7) came. We happily devoured these delicious dishes. The Salt & Pepper Fish Filet had a thin, crisp crust with hot fish. It's gently seasoned. The Beef Chow Fun had springy, bouncy noodles. Its beef came very tender but a little lukewarm. The String Bean with Minced Chicken tasted clean and fresh; its chicken came tender and juicy. The Combination Fried Rice had plump shrimp, tender beef, and moist chicken. I especially loved how the rice felt hot & fluffy. It was well-seasoned. The Salt & Pepper Shrimp tasted crisp, plump, and well-salted; these shrimp were fried perfectly. The Scallion Oil Chicken tasted very tender and juicy. And the Almond Tea felt hot, velvety with the fresh aftertaste of almonds. Every meal felt clean and fresh. All in all, we appreciated how every dish lacked that overpowering/masking flavor. "TASTY!" Concerning ambiance, Sands Chinese Restaurant (Irwindale) is clean, sleek, and minimalistic. The tables and floors are very shiny. There's about seven tables inside. There's also a customer restroom in the back. The location is also well-ventilated as soft music plays in the background. Overall, my family and I had a lovely experience at Sands Chinese Restaurant (Irwindale). The food is fresh, filling, affordable, and delicious. If curious, I definitely recommend. 5 out of 5

There are private rooms in the back on request if you have a larger party and seafood is always fresh as they have an aquarium with lobsters, crab, geoduck, and fish. The decor is charming with vintage trinkets along the side of the wall. There is a waiting area by the lobby and restrooms in the back of the restaurant. Since it gets so crowded and busy the restrooms could be tended better. Parking is available on the street otherwise you have to valet on the lot.

    Honestly, what's great about coming here is their set menu, which is very helpful if you have…read moredecision paralysis and come with a big group. But as for the food itself, the standouts would be the fried shrimp and the lobster. The shrimp is perfectly fried and I enjoy how soft the shell is. I like the lobster alot too. I personally prefer the way it's prepared at Henry's, but Newport's is still pretty decent. For the most part, the food is overloaded with MSG. Each time I've gone or taken food to go, I feel massively dehydrated after that I get a headache if I don't drink enough water. Luckily the staff was pretty on top of refilling our waters, and they often switched out our plates for clean ones. We've been going for years, and they used to allow substitutions for the set menu. But on a recent visit, this didn't seem like it was a thing anymore.

    Was here a few weeks ago with my kids for a quick lunch. We got the Beef Chow Fun...it's a thick…read moreflat white noodles sautéed with green onions, bean sprouts, beef and sort of a soy sauce. It's one of our go to orders when we hit a Chinese restaurant. Sometimes it's a hit or miss...but I got to say it was a HIT! The noodles were separated and seasoned perfectly, coating each strand of noodles with their soy sauce mixture...and the beef was perfectly tenderized..NOT TOUGH AT ALL! Usually beef is tough in this type of noodle dish at other places. The flavors were legit..not too sweet or salty just right! It's really hard for me to find good Asian food in Baldwin Park so I was pleasantly surprised when we stumbled upon this place. Highly recommend. Our server was a Chinese lady..probably didn't speak much of English and didn't come across as friendly but to be honest that's how you know the food is going to slap when you have a waitress with the meanest RBF...so don't be alarmed just know food is going to smack! LOL It's located in a very random place but there's plenty of parking. It's pretty laid back but I would say can be good for large groups. It's not too loud or rowdy at all.

    Honestly when you're craving Authentic Chinese food in the Baldwin Park area this is the spot! I…read morelove their House Special noodles with shrimp, beef, the works... it's filling thick noodles reminds me of Mongolian style noodles but enough to feed about 3-4 people in your family if you share. When walk in, there is enough tables on the side to sit down but the service is always warm and nice. I also like to order the house special (soup) style dumplings that are pork filled even though I generally don't eat pork, these dumplings are ground pork and delish and what you would want in a juicy dumpling. The dumpling soup 7/10 I'm not much of a Szechuan flavor girl. I do like it but I don't like it being drenched in it so much. Basically, watch out for the numbness and spiciness in this dish, although the lady taking my order did try to forewarn me by asking for my spice levels before hand. (: otherwise, great choices and great fix for Chinese cuisine! I always seem to order to go so I don't have any pics to attach to this review, but I hope to return soon to update my review.
