A solid 3.5. The staff are all amazing,hard-working, lovely folks. The less fortunate part is the food was a bit lacking in flavor. My partner had General Tso's chicken,which was a huge portion,enough for two meals. I had the Kung pao tofu, also good size but a little lackluster in the spice department. The egg rolls were fine, a little greasy but still tasty. read more

New China Express - Dumplings -order extra sauce! - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was craving good Chinese take out, and New China Express hit the spot! The portions are extremely generous for the cost. I ordered three items for myself (Pork Fried Rice, Orange Chicken, Beef & Broccoli) and would have been full off of just one. They're doing a cool promo where if you order a certain amount, they'll let you pick a free item to add on. Loved the extra crab cream cheese item! I wish that the chicken and beef was a little bit crispier, but that may just be personal preference. I'll definitely be returning and supporting local business read more

A little neighborhood gem! On our evening walk we passed by New China Express and decided to get takeout since they're open until 9pm. We ordered the Chicken Broccoli ($14.99 ) and the Tofu Vegetables ($13.99) which were ready for takeout in less than 10 minutes! Really good portions and they were friendly as well. Will be returning! read more

New China Express - 33. Chicken with Broccoli 60. Vegetable with Tofu - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A great neighborhood spot that's truly a hidden gem. I'm shocked this place doesn't have better reviews, as the quality and taste of food here is MUCH better than most Chinese American take out style restaurants in Seattle. Good portions, quick friendly service, and tasty comfort food-all cooked with well tenderized and marinated meat. This is actually one of the only restaurants that velvet their meat-a step most Chinese restaurants in Seattle skip. Depending on what you order, some dishes are prepared more authentic and home style than others. 1. Broccoli beef: well tenderized beef, good portion, good flavor. Good amount of sauce. 2. Honey walnut shrimp: lightly battered, decent sized shrimp, not over cooked. Wish they gave a bit more sauce, and a couple more pieces of shrimp. But overall, a good flavorful dish and decent portion. 3. Honey walnut chicken: good portion, but needed more sauce as it was a bit dry. The chicken is lightly coated in flour before being deep fried, vs dipped in a wet batter and then deep fried. I preferred the honey walnut shrimp to the chicken as it was a bit saucier. 4. Hand pulled noodles: really good and a must get! I am addicted to this dish! This is very much a homestyle/comfort dish. The super thick texture of the noodles are amazing and reminds me of something my grandma used to make. 5. Chicken chow mein: really good. The noodles used in this dish is a thicker cut Shanghai type style noodle vs egg noodles, and is prepared mildly saucy vs dry. Cooked simply, and well flavored. This came free as we ordered more than $45 pre-tax food. Would order again even without the offer. 6. Orange beef: large portion, well flavored, but wish they were a little more heavy handed with the sauce. 7. Curry chicken: large portion, heavy on the mixed vegetables (cabbage, broccoli), 2.5/5 spice level. Wish they added potatoes and coconut as I prefer Cantonese style curries. 8. Shrimp foo young: good portion, large shrimp is used, simple eggs and shrimp with some corn sprinkled in. It comes with a sauce that didn't interest me at all. A bit heavy handed on the salt (only ordered this one time), but the flavor is good. 9. Salt pepper prawns: good portion, they use prawns with the shells off and is lightly battered, great flavor, and good amount of heat. I'm not sure what entree comes with the rice, or if a rice comes complimentary after x dollars spent. We usually order 2-3 entrees and a noodle dish, and it comes with a super small container of rice. Definitely order more if you're into rice. I've only ordered from here a few times, and we were happy and satisfied each time. Looking forward to trying more dishes. This is definitely a take out only restaurant. Small mom and pop. The only reason why I am giving them 4 stars is because I wish some of their dishes were a bit saucier. read more

I never like leaving bad reviews, but I think this is a good exception. I ended up getting a terrible case of food poisoning after eating here. The food wasn't anything exceptional, but it certainly made an impact. read more

american style chinese food - great value, delicious food and they deliver! We had the handshaven noodles and the orange chicken - both were delicious. We will order again. read more

My local go-to! Always greeted with a warm smile! Good variety, you can get some healthy options here. The food tastes great and the service is fast as well. read more

Tried again after a couple years. Delivery was fast, everything was hot, and they remembered the beef this time. The flavors just... aren't good. There are a lot of places that are comparable but taste better. read more

As an East Coast transplant in Seattle, my heart aches for good Chinese takeout. New China Express has become my go-to for Chinese delivery. The food is always fresh, quick, and the quantity is enough to give me leftovers for days. Do yourself a favor and get the hand-shaved noodles -- I usually get the shrimp or vegetarian. They are tender, soft, and flavorful. These are my FAVORITE menu item, and you will not regret ordering them. The honey walnut shrimp has large pieces of shrimp, fried with a sweet glaze over it and roasted walnuts on top. I can also recommend the moo shu shrimp. Order yourself a few pancakes as extras, as the portion is generous. In sum: if you're looking for delicious, fresh, comfort-style Chinese take out, New China Express will hit all those marks. read more

Love the Green dumplings & hand shaved noodles. Walnut prawns very good (no walnuts fyi) The dishes are very sauce heavy, which I don't mind but my husband dislikes. SUPER FAST DELIVERY! & FREE! *4.5 stars* read more

Simply good. Plain and simple preparation, I didn't think it was too salty, and delivery was unbelievably fast. So happy I finally tried this place out! read more

I love this delivery. Always super fast. Favorites: Singapore noodles extra spice, salt and pepper tofu, crispy vegi beef. Sesame chicken/or beef is great. Also good, chowmein, barley green noodles the barly green beef dumpling things, spring rolls. Their bonus freebies are great deal. It is the best junk food. I always ask for low salt - everythings way salt for my palate. There are several dishes I think are not that good, but if you stick to the classic solid dishes they make it's super satisfying. I wish they had better white rice, it's ok, but I guess I'm a snob. Been ordering from here for years. Delivery is super fast. read more

Happiness on a plate. Our fav Chinese restaurant closed a few years ago and we have desperately been searching for a new place. Tonight we happily found it! Ordered 5 different entrees and I would go back for any one. Very friendly, fast, and ultra tasty. Hand shaven noodles are pure comfort food and a few fun menu items like strawberry crispy beef were delicious to try. I live by the Husky Stadium but will gladly be driving to grub on this goodness. read more

this is SUCH a hidden gem. food is incredible and you get so much for the price - literally CANNOT recommend the hand shaved noodles more. i would pay an obscene amount for those noodles. i've never been disappointed in something i've ordered. the service is always super friendly, and i'm already looking forward to the next time i order from here! read more

This is our go to Chinese delivery. They were closed for a while during COVID and we were so sad! We love their chow mein, salt and pepper anything (especially tofu), and coupon deals. They are so fast for delivery, too! Food is always hot when it arrives and for the price it's tasty and plentiful. Their delivery people are also very nice! I'm so glad they're back. read more

I've been looking for hand shaved noodles and couldn't have been happier to find New China Express. So so good. Friendly service too. I hope they never get rid of their hand shaved noodles!! read more

I come here OFTEN and love all the staff. Their delivery is FAST (I'm in magnolia) and I don't know why but I LOVE, LOVE their salt and pepper squid. It's amazing and the perfect amount of salty and spicy. Also their fried rice is pretty good too :) read more

Shes close, hot and ready, and you know just what to expect. Satisfaction in all the ways you remembered so fondly. Morning after treats you the same, in an "oh what have i done" mixed with a dash of shame. Hoping to forget but you cant. Weeks later you find a take out menu crumpled in the back of the junk drawer in your kitchen. Distraught and a mess; trembling at the hips your heart races. Warm in the legs you consider the sweet... sweet taste of orange beef and house rice . With your significant other out of town on business and you left alone a phone order is placed. As promised 10-15 minutes later, pure bliss with a side of netflix is served. No pants necessary . read more

New China Express is THE BEST Chinese takeout/delivery in Seattle. They delivered to me so fast that I honestly thought that the person delivering was the restaurant calling me to tell me to pick up my order. The food was delivered piping hot AND it was delicious! I had green barley noodles growing up as a kid and theirs were very good. Their shrimp was also good and not over cooked. I ordered the General Tso's chicken which I love, but always hesitate to order because sometimes at other places you get really tough pieces, but at New China Express, all the pieces were tender and good pieces of meat. The hot and sour soup was also very good. For the price I got enough food to feed me for probably 3 days straight (breakfast, lunch, dinner) ! I will be ordering from them again shortly! read more

New China Express - Shrimp Green Barley Noodles (AMAZING price) - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

5 stars for their hot and sour soup. Great amount of tang, and packs heat. We were looking for places open late night and decided to take a chance on New China Express. The hot and sour soup tastes exactly like my favorite growing up. Edit: docking off a star because I tried their General Tso chicken and Veggie shaved noodle tonight (I'd rate the general Tso as 2 stars, and shaved noodles as 3 stars) and found them disappointing. This place still has an advantage because they're open so late, but really wish these dishes could be as good as their hot and sour soup. read more

Outstanding! My wife is addicted to their Singapore noodles! We haven't found anything we don't like.

I ordered three things and asked for "no carrots in anything." The gentlemen taking my order appeared to acknowledge me, although for a second I thought it sounded like a chuckle. I said "I'm allergic" to make sure it was clear what I asking for and to well... get no carrots because I'm allergic. I get home and the three things I ordered (even the wonton soup) ALL had carrots. I'm not so allergic that I can't eat around them, but I think a request as simple as that should be easily handled. I'll still eat here, partly because it's two blocks from my house, I'm just hopeful I'll be able to get the point across next time. read more

New China Express - I asked for no carrots in my Beef & Broccoli. - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Desperate hours and hunger let me to order food from here. I was very nervous as I had sworn off chinese food in Seattle due to previous horrendous experiences. I ordered via Eat24 and my food arrived in 25 minutes. The delivery guy ended up at the opposite house . No idea why because the numbering is such that it is 6 less than mine so that was strange. I was honestly surprised as the food was decent. The chicken fried rice tasted good. It needed a drizzle of garlic salt. The prawn green curry that I ordered was greasy. Nevertheless I was mostly interested in the flavor, prawn and the veggies which was ok. Fyi its not the thai green curry. There was an ample amount of brocolli and wilted cabbage with a drizzle of mushroom and carrots. For 23.x a large portion of decent food was brought me to late night which did not upset my stomach. I call that a win. read more

Order if you're a huge fan of cabbage. Sezchuan Shrimp- lacking in shrimp, heavy on the cabbage. Chicken Chow Mein- lacking in chicken, heavy on the cabbage. Moo Shu beef- seriously this was borderline entirely cabbage. Sauce that came with it was tiny, enough for a single pancake. Egg rolls- ONLY CABBAGE! Not even little strips of carrot, and certainly no meat. And only 3, not 4. Good points- huge portions (of mostly cabbage) so you will certainly be full. 40minute delivery time. read more

New China Express - This is the Moo Shu cabbage dish...I think they had some that was going off - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It pains me to give any restaurant or takeaway a poor review during tough times, however, the pain is real. No less than two days of food poisoning. I cannot recommend eating here. It's just not fresh. I had suspected this from the meat texture but gave it the benefit or the doubt. A mistake a regret. read more

They do live up to the express in their name. The food showed up hot and fresh so I know it was cooked to order. We got Shanghai noodles, kung pao shrimp (had lots of veggies), and Mongolian beef (good quality beef). One star off because the crab puffs were flavorless and I found the sauce for the Mongolian beef too sweet. read more

Love the food here. Never have to wait for your order, friendly service! Great cheat night food.

I would actually rate this place a zero if it were an option They put shrimp in one of the items and it's not listed as having shrimp on the website. My boyfriend is allergic and can't eat it. When I called the restaurant to have them fix it the first person couldn't comprehend what I was saying and he put another employee on the phone. I explained the situation a second time and she told me to pick the shrimp out. When I tried to explain why that wasn't an option she started yelling at me. Needless to say this was a terrible experience. To add insult to injury, my order had one measly piece of broccoli and they didn't provide silverware or napkins. Grubhub was nice enough to offer me a refund since the restaurant refused to take responsibility and wouldn't do it. I'll never order from this place again. read more

I can't believe all the bitchy complaints on here about this place. Free delivery that's incredibly fast, free egg rolls and the food is really good. It's not the best Chinese food ever, but for the price point you get a lot of food. I have tried a lot of overpriced mediocre Chinese food in the area. This is not some hipster fusion bs, but legit Chinese take out. Also, hand shaved noodles ftw. read more

The almond chicken was tough as hell and hard to chew also it tasted like chicken that has been in the freezer forever. The strawberry crispy shrimp is literally just fried shrimp in smuckers strawberry jam. Only time I've ordered from here probably won't happen again. read more

I love this place. I've ordered delivery from New China about 10 times now and they have had the food to my door in under 30 minutes every time. While the food isn't incredible, it is very good, especially when you take into consideration their very reasonable prices. The only drawback I have found is their bland egg rolls. Overall, a great place that is perfect for cheap nights in. read more

Disappointing. Ordered ahead to pick up. "Egg rolls" are "spring rolls". You should differentiate so people are clear on what they're orderng. Small rice is the size of a dixie cup. Food served in Styrofoam - kinda hard to keep warm in an oven, and not so good for the environment. Almond fried chicken in huge pieces vs. cut up, and the "sauce" like water. Like really really bad "sauce". Good job on the crab rangoon and adding water chestnuts to the wonton soup though. read more

For Chinese takeout, New China Express is our #1 go-to. Their chicken dishes (sesame chicken, orange chicken, etc) are always solid. They're crispy, flavorful, and seemingly almost entirely white meat. I've ordered from here countless times and I've never once gotten a tough or mealy piece. My two other top favorites are the pork hand shaven noodles and the fried rice. The fried rice is the standard done well, but I've never had hand shaven noodles before. The noodles are thick and coated in a thin flavorful sauce. There's large pieces of fried egg, cabbage, and protein mixed throughout. That might not sound great but it's an extremely comforting dish and I find myself craving it a lot. We've never had an incorrect order, and they always have coupons for bonus items on grubhub. We tend to get our order delivered within 20 minutes of placing it, which is amazing, but we live quite close to the store so I think we're just lucky. I'm so glad to have New China Express in the neighborhood! read more

We had New China Express last night, getting via delivery on EAT24. Our experience was very bad. We ordered the Moo Shu Veggie, Veggie Hand Shaven Noodle and the Veggie Fried Brown Rice. Additionally we got extra veggies for the hand shaven noodle. It's a good thing because even with the extra ($2.00 charge) it didn't have many veggies in it... Also vegetarians be warned. Despite saying the dishes were vegetarian friendly, we were pretty sure everything was cooked in chicken broth. Now onto the breakdown; Food Quality: Moo Shu Veggies: What New China means when they say veggies is greasy, wilted shredded cabbage. This was pretty much all there was (I wish I'd taken a pic) along with grease, 3 mushrooms, two tiny tiny tiny pieces of carrot and more grease. The pancakes were 3 weeks old stale and cold and served in styrofoam. The only two flavors outside of the plum sauce and grease were chicken broth and salt. WAY salty. Awful! We ate a little and threw it away. Veggie Hand Shaven Noodle: This was a little better than the moo shu. I ordered extra veggies which gave us an acceptable amount of veggies, but cost $2.00 extra. Not worth it. The noodles were nice, well cooked and homemade tasting, but again the stuff was swimming in oil and had no flavor except chicken broth and salt. All the colors were brown and pale grey. Awful too and inedible. Tons of egg, too much egg... Veggie Fried Brown Rice: Probably the best dish, but this isn't saying a lot. Also greasy and same flavor profile, chicken broth and salt. Terrible. Too few veggies and tons of egg. I will say that the food arrived quickly. The driver was not friendly or rude, just doing his job. All it meant for us was horrible food sooner. Will not be back... read more

If I could put zero stars, I would. Awful experience. There were 5 shrimp and like 8 cashews in the shrimp and cashews, egg rolls were just cabbage, general tso was dry and chewy, and you had to PAY for rice that fit in the palm of my hand. We had to go buy more rice. We called to complain about the lack of shrimp in the shrimp and cashews, they said there was no manager. They called back minutes later to say the cook said it was not possible that there were only 5 shrimp, never apologized, and never offered a solution (refund, replacement, etc). Terribly rude customer service and below mediocre food. Will never order again and I suggest you don't either. Literally worse experience ordering out ever and I love everything. read more

Beware they have their own delivery guy and he claims to not know how to use a very easy call box in order to not have to go to the units themselves. If they mess your order up they won't account for it either. Food is like any "cheap" Chinese restaurant, if you have an alternate place to choose from I would highly suggest you do it. read more

Food is OK but it's really the kind (over kind) service we are greeted with that keeps me coming back. That plus the humbow. My son loves their orange chicken. Mm read more
