    This restaurant is a pretty typical strip mall Chinese food place that serves basic Americanized Chinese food. If you are looking for a quick combo plate than I would recommend it. The boneless pork was very good and the fried rice was decent. The other fried items tasted pretty good but were very greasy. I would also recommend getting takeout since the interior is a bit rundown and the tables are sticky. The staff/owners are quite friendly and the food comes out very quickly

    Love it! My go to Chinese Take-Out! Actually thinking about it now....I may order some tonight...mmmm :) SUPER friendly service, very quick as well. They tell me 20 minutes and my order is usually done within 15. I've tried several different Chinese take outs in Portland and they do not compare. One thing for certain is the price here at Little China Express. Very very fairly priced food. You get some great deals with the combination platters. You gotta try this place out. It's worth it. It reminds me of my favorite Chinese spot back home in Jersey. Great food, great service, great prices! :) This is not a place to sit down and have a family dinner - Little China Express is meant to be for take out!

    Pork fried rice, pork lo mein (no veggies), chicken fingers, white rice, pan fried dumplings and beef with broccoli = delicious takeout!!

    Best Asian food takeout in the Falmouth/Yarmouth area - IMHO. We have never eaten in the restaurant as it is a bit small and worn down, but perhaps wear and tear means, they have been here a long time and have a lot of traffic? Either way, it doesn't doesn't affect the rating, after I am hear for the food, not furniture shopping :) If you do happen to dine in, there is WiFi and they publish the password on the wall near the drink cooler. Convenient and this tells me, they are rushing people out of the door. On the same sign, they welcome and request your feedback on how they are doing, they truly do want to be sure that you are happy with the food. The other night my husband picked up his food and they said they had someone new cooking and they wanted to be sure we let them know if we weren't happy. The owner/worker(?) said he thought the food was good, but he wanted to be sure we thought so ok. It was great! Here are the dishes we usually get and LOVE: the lo mein with beef, no veggies; beef with broccoli; curry chicken fried rice, chicken fingers, and dumplings. So consistently good for us. We always call our order in and it is all fresh and ready within 25 minutes. We have never had any ordering issues and there is plenty of food for everyone, with all of the sauces and loaded of fortune cookies! Located in a strip with other businesses, right off of Rt. 1 intersection of Middle Rd and Portland St. Plenty of parking at the end of the plaza. The owners(?) seems so nice and are always so busy at the register and on the phone. We hope they continue to stay in the area and run this restaurant. We Love Little China Express. :)

An excellent third stop on our impromptu culinary tour of Portland, and our party grew from two to four. I had the Shanghai cowboy cocktail, the bourbon hits, and you can definitely taste the mint more than the guava. All the foods in order of my preference, this was a tough list to rank because everything had great flavor and came out hot!! Lobster rangoon: yes, I would love to have another order of these! Great flavor, nice crisp wonton, just a wonderful rangoon experience! Pork pot stickers: mmm, love me some pot stickers, and these lived up to my expectations, great flavor and texture! Sa cha chicken skewers: so very tender, great flavor, would gladly eat again! Garlic meatball skewers: good flavor, nice dipping sauce, happy we added these to our selection. Shanghai soup dumplings: in general a fun food item, great flavor and they were highly recommended by the everyone who suggested we eat here. Mongolian beef: the beef had great flavor, the broccoli was cooked properly, not mushy, the onions were well caramelized; delicious! Har gow: good flavor, nice steamed dumplings, glad we tried them! Peking duck buns: my friend was in love with these, it was good, but not something I was immediately obsessed with. More than enough food for the three of us adults! The toddler had an order of steamed noodles. I definitely forgot a few photos, but the food was just so good!!

    At work talking about Chinese food when my co-work tells me they've been hearing some great things…read moreabout Evergreen. Located on Western Ave in a strip mall with Big Fin Poke. It's a tad far from home in North Deering, bit of it's as good as I am hearing, it will be worth the trip. Menu on line was easy to navigate landing me at the "Dinner specials" page. A great variety of, more than some of the other places we've tried and way more than our local Chinese place. I chose the Straw mushroom with snow peas with boneless pork and hubby chose their General Tso chicken with chicken fingers for his appetizer. Both requested the wanton soup which is an upchargw from the other soup offerings. I really like the format for ordering on line with sections for different options like soup, rice, and appetizer. Most places you get the appetizer assigned and charged if you want to change it. Not here, you can choose! Yay! I arrived a few minutes after I was texted my order was ready. Signage was clear and easy to read. Ample parking in the shared parking lot. Upon entering you can see it is a take out centered type restaurant but does offer booth or table seating. It was a busy Saturday night and they had everything operating smoothly. Walked up to counter area and was greeted immediately, gave my phone number and name and my food was presented. Made my payment preference on line which included a tip, made sure to not double tip. Then I was off and running. At home I unpacked the food and was surprised to find the wanton soup was a deep brown color, unusual since most wanton soups are a clear yellow. Large sliced zucchini and carrots accompanied the hand made wanton stars. They had make them with the meat neatly wrapped in dough and remaining dough behind the ball like a shooting star with a tail. WOW! The taste was unique, on the spicy side with a taste of Thai chili sauce swirled in. Very tasty but too hot, my taste buds would have not worked for the rest of my meal. On to the Straw mushroom and snow pea meal with fried rice and boneless pork. Oh My!! So fresh and tasty the peas were numerous as were the mushrooms. Fried rice was excellent as was the boneless pork, it overly cooked and super tender yum! So what are ve heard is true and more. Sadly I could find no delivery options for this establishment so take out it will be.

    Well, I hate to have to write this, because we've had a couple of very good meals within the last 6…read moremonths. But I hope my critique will help them improve, at least the last 2 dishes I had. (I won't speak to my husband's meals.) First, the orange chicken, which I had a few weeks ago. It was mostly good. My one criticism (and it's a big one!) is to dial way back on the batter. It should be mostly chicken, with a light, crispy tangy coating. What I had was mostly ALL batter, with little discernible meat inside. Not appealing, and it certainly makes me hesitant to ever order it again. The second bad meal was yesterday. I ordered the chicken with garlic sauce. I was anticipating lovely tender chicken, infused with a delicious fragrant garlic flavor. What I got was tough chicken (that obviously skipped the velveting process) and bland, tasteless sauce. No garlic was present, as far as I could tell. It was the most nondescript Chinese dish I've ever had. And I'm talking eating at Chinatown in Philly and Boston, and all over the U.S. for the last 50 years. Both of these experiences make me feel as though they've given up on trying to do the best they can. And it's also made me decide not to return-at least in the foreseeable future. But I hold out hope that when I decide to give them a third try, it was be as good an experience as I had before these disappointing ones.
