As I promised, we tried New China Express again, and this time I was very, very happy. We ordered Orange Beef, Barleygreen noodles, and Moo shu pork, along with the free egg rolls. The egg rolls were crispy and light, not greasy at all! The Orange Beef was crispy, sweet and spicy. The Moo shu pork was delicious, and exactly what I wanted. My husband was a big fan of the Barleygreen noodles adn the Orange Beef. We are definitely fans, and will order from here again. read more

This was the first time I ordered from here, looked ok. The delivery was fast, however....the food was absolutely horrible. The BBQ pork was very dry and had a awful chemical kind of taste. The fried food was very, very over cooked. I could go on. I called to talk to them about it and was yelled at and hung up on. No, really. No one at my house would eat any of the food so, I added $83 worth of Chinese food / compost to the yard waste bin and ordered elsewhere. Never. Again. Caveat emptor. read more

I've ordered here more times than I care to admit and it's super consistent, quality and service wise, and is perfect for your greasy Chinese needs. It just is. Also, hand shaven noodles. You won't regret it. read more

This place is amazing! What's not to like? They stay open late, they give you soooo much food, and the family who owns the restaurant is really friendly. To the people who thinks the area is sketchy, come on.... its in the residential area of Magnolia. Maybe there aren't as much lights around for your convenience, but please grow some balls... read more

Worst experience ordering by far! We ordered black pepper squid and received fried frost bitten pieces of what appear to be yellow thin plastic. I got a piece lodged in my throat and couldn't swallow because I was coughing, and choking. The driver was super rude and stated arguing with me about a parking spot. Asked me to come to the street so he wouldn't have to leave his car by actually DELIVERING my food to my door! Like seriously!! The fried rice that I got for free was awesome! Want more of that. The Mongolian beef was pretty good. But I will never order from here again, not use Eat 24. Worst experience ever!!!! read more

See all

The delivery was quick, but this might be one of the worst Chinese takeouts I've ever had. The Mongolian beef is more like soggy Mongolian beef soup. The chow main noodles were soggy and the meat inside was questionable. The egg drop soup and egg rolls were good though. read more

For those of you who have had bad experience. My experience is best if you call directly. Food is delivered fast and hot and you get better customer service. Online ordering is probably through a 3rd party vendor and at your own risk. Consistency is not the best I order the same things usually and they vary from really good to ??? What was that. However, usually its pretty good. Authenticity...well its american style Chinese food and its the only decent Chinese food in Magnolia. read more

I'm going to be honest, I avoid take out chinese like the plague. However, a coworker recommended this place, and the reviews here were great. When someone mentioned the orange chicken was white breast meat, I was sold! I ordered the orange chicken and brown rice. With the Eat24 coupon, it came to about $11 which was awesome. There was SO much food, I really wasn't expecting that. There was enough for me to have for dinner, and two more servings for lunch the next day for my husband and I. I liked the orange chicken and will definitely order it again, though I wish it were more tangy like I come to know and love about orange chicken. I ordered a 1-mild, and it still had a hint of spice. I may try the lemon next time. Restaurant inside was nice and clean, and the employees inside were nice, friendly, and prompt! read more

First time trying New China Express for delivery. As another reviewer mentioned, trying to order online via their website was less than successful -- the website is quite slick and seems to work well, but there is some problem that seems to prevent it from accepting credit cards properly. To be fair, the website is operated by a third party (beyondmenu.com) that hosts menus and online ordering for a number of restaurants, so it's not really New China Express' fault. Anyway, I gave up on that and just ordered the old-fashioned way, by calling them on the phone. That was no trouble, and the food arrived pretty quickly, perhaps about half an hour (we live nearby). The price was very reasonable, the amounts of food were far more than we expected (leftovers!), and it was delicious. My wife had the wonton soup, and it was chock full of crisp, fresh cooked vegetables, nothing soggy. I had the 'house special' fried rice (which turns out to mean combo of the meat/vege options), and it was excellent. We'll definitely order from New China again, and if they get the online ordering sorted out, that would push them five stars for me. Meanwhile, just call them on the phone. read more

We order food from them fairly often. It is always on time and hot. I enjoy the Hot and Sour soup and their Cashew chicken is very good. They are not the best Chinese I have ever had but they are far from the worst. read more

I will have to say that this is my favorite Chinese-American restaurant in Seattle so far. Their Honey Walnut Prawns are the best I have ever had anywhere. Their House Special Fried Rice (with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp) is amongst some of the best I've ever had, too. Their courtesy really makes it a place you should go check out. read more

Everything was so good!!!! Probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in Seattle so far.

Been ordering from here for a couple years now some of their food is average and some are excellent but overall they do a good job and are consistent and very friendly people read more

yay, good Chinese takeout in our hood! Not as authentic as what you'd find in ID, but perfectly good for a cozy evening in. Quite good quality, tastes great, love ordering through Eat24, what more could you ask for? No more driving to Uptown on Queen Anne, this is much better. read more

If you want your veggies from this place never order here I ordered a VEGGIE ENTREE obviously no meat and it came with 3 lonely pieces of broccoli ‍ read more

Favorite dishes: house special egg foo young, salt and pepper squid, barley or regular hand shave noodle, fried rice. Best egg foo young I ever had I wish I knew how to make it. Only do take out or delivery. It is a small place read more

New China Express - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was our first order and we were so impressed! We've been struggling to find a Chinese place that knocks it out and this is definitely the spot we've been looking for! read more

Ordered orange chicken. It had no flavor at all. Eggs rolls were dinky. The wonton soup was good, but that's it.

Really good! Had pot stickers.... they were REALLY good! Also had sweet n sour chicken, also really good & A LOT of it. Actually had leftovers, so one order could be enough for 2 people, you'd just have to get more rice. At first it seemed pricey, but for the amount of food you get its a good deal & a good chinese restaurant for the neighborhood! read more

My hubby and I always walk past this place, & finally decided to grabs some take-out. We ordered Sweet & Sour Chicken, pork chow mein, hot & sour soup, & fried spring rolls. I would say, I liked the thick chow mein noodles. The rest of the food wasn't really anything to write home about. The service was fast for a Friday night. I did appreciate the free spring rolls when you spent $25. read more

The gentleman who delivered was seriously cute and seriously charming. The food didn't live up to his charm. Fried prawns, egg rolls, and crab cheese would have been stellar except for one thing. They were all undercooked. Not undercooked to the point of being inedible but they all needed an extra minute or two in the fryer. The fried prawns especially would have been "the best ever" if only cooked longer. Shrimp egg foo yung and sweet and sour pork weren't bad, just unremarkable. Of note, the shrimp were nicely sized. None of those stupid baby shrimp, and they were cooked beautifully! Not overdone to the point of being rubbery. I'm not giving up on NCE since they are so close to where I live. Hopefully there's a favorable edit pending. read more

Summary: Do not eat here! Terrible food, and horrifying "service." Can't understand how this place ever got 4 stars. There are plenty of low reviews for a reason. Try somewhere else. After reading reviews online, I was happy to find this place and that we lived just a couple minutes away. We ordered the hand shaven noodles with pork, barley green pot stickers, egg flower soup, wonton soup, kung pao prawns, mangolian beef, and egg rolls for delivery. The food was cold upon delivery, which isn't a big deal to me, but the food was flavorless. Kung pao had no spice (I've had better from Panda Express than this), the soup and mangolian beef were in desperate need of salt, the pot stickers tasted like food coloring and dough, our hand shaven noodles (also lacking flavor) with PORK had only some traces of meat but plenty of CHICKEN skin, and the egg rolls were actually spring rolls. The ingredients were definitely not fresh. I can't say anything about the wonton soup though because it was left out of our order along with our sides of rice. Needless to say, we were very disappointed. We called and said we were not happy with our food and would like a refund due to the quality and missing items. The woman there immediately started accusing us of trying to get a free meal. We told her we were more than happy to bring the food back but she refused yelling at us saying we were trying to cheat her. We asked if there was someone else available to speak with and she told us no one else was there and she was the only one at the restaurant and if we wanted a refund we should contact EAT24.com where we placed the order. We called EAT24 and they were kind and apologized. They offered to call the restaurant for us. After to speaking with restaurant, they told us the restaurant said they would not authorize a refund and we should have called sooner if we were unhappy even though we called within 25 minutes of receiving our order. We called the restaurant back ourselves and again they told us call EAT24 for a refund though they were the ones blocking the refund and continued accusing us of trying to scam them. At this point, we were pretty frustrated and offended by their service and we drove to the restaurant to return the food. Upon arriving, it was clear that there were several others, not just the woman on the phone. We said we spoke to her on the phone and brought the food to show it was still there. She began opening every box and picking through the food. She then began yelling that we were trying to cheat her because 2 of the 8 "egg rolls" were missing. I said that I was more than willing to pay for what was missing other than the items not delivered. They denied forgetting any items and again accused us of eating it otherwise we would have called sooner. Now, I am so annoyed and angry that I tell them I am done arguing and just want money for what is there since that seems to be the biggest obstacle. They then tell me they will not issue any refund even for the nearly untouched items saying, "It's not our problem if you don't like our food." I was shocked by this. I have worked in several restaurants before and understand how difficult and unreasonable customers can be and do my best not to complain even when things fall short of expectations but this was just ridiculous. Poor food is understandable but to yell at customer calmly requesting a refund and to accuse them of trying to steal or cheat is completely unacceptable. They even refused to return my the $25 cash tip for the $80 order. A horrifying experience through and through. As I said before, poor quality of food is understandable and forgivable but the treatment we received by the staff (quite possibly ownership) is not. read more

I ordered food from here using Eat24. After the food was an hour late, I called and was told it would be another 25 minutes. Another hour later, I called back and they "thought" the driver was on the way. They promised me a discount but I would have to go through Eat24 to get it. They denied the discount entirely. When the food finally arrived over two hours later, it was ice cold. It went directly into the garbage and I'm still out the $$ read more

My partner and I order for pickup when we are high and don't have anything to eat. We've had the best luck with dishes that are sort of trashy fried chicken, like Sesame Chicken and Gereral Tso's. To my knowledge, they can't to tofu well at all and the eggplant was ok. Hand shaven noodles were good, but not the best thing in the world. I wouldn't recommend this place, but I'm not going to stop ordering here when high. read more

I really wanted to give this a better review, but the food was so cold when it arrived (both times) that it warranted 3 stars. When contacting the restaurant, they called me a liar and denied it being cold, that it then dropped to 1 star. Will never eat here again. read more

Don't waste your money on this greasy non flavorful food. We usually order from Golden City or New Pandasia , but thought we'd try a new place.. Almond chicken is fried chicken with a side of almond extract ( no joke) dipping sauce.. Pork chow mein had zero flavor and could blot all the grease with napkins!! Gross!! Free egg rolls have a few strands if that of cabbage. Full of grease!! Extremely disappointed!!! Yuck. Lesson learned- stomach ache!! read more

Absolutely disgusting!!! Just ate here less than 3 minutes ago and the food is disastrous. Don't waste your time or money. Fast food is more palatable than this awful place!!! read more

Just moved to Magnolia - I've eaten here 3 times now and 5 stars all the way! Tonight's delivery of Orange Chicken, Shrimp fried Rice and hot/sour soup hit the spot. I'm writing a paper for UW and kinda feeling a cold. Quick delivery. The Chicken was crunchy and sweet, not too hot as requested. I'm so glad to have a staple Chinese Food spot so close to home. Eating here is like giving yourself a hug. Highly recommended!!! read more

We've had take out and delivery from New China Express 10 or 12 times. The food is good, reasonable quality and price. The green barley pot stickers are worth a try, and for something completely different order the Strawberry beef for a sweet and crispy treat. read more

Got food poisoning the last time I ordered here. And not the mild kind. I almost went to the hospital.

Amazing food! The quality is excellent and every dish ive ordered is delicious. My favorite dish is the Walnut Prawns!!! They are also super quick on their delivery time! Love this place :) read more

Not coming back. The flavors weren't bad, but the portions were small for the price we paid. Ordered honey walnut shrimp, egg flower soup, and fried rice. There were about 10 pieces of prawns (though large) for $14. The flavor was okay, but not something that we would come back. Egg flower soup lacked some flavor. The crab wontons we got for free were watery, and cold. Would not recommend this place. read more

Absolutely unexpected! The order arrived much more quickly than expected, and it was piping hot. Unlike most Chinese food, it wasn't 'overly-greasy' or 'heavy'. The honey almond prawns were perfect, as was the orange chicken and hand rolled noodle dish. Even after eating, there was no "I'm never eating Chinese food again" feeling! Truly, I've found my new go-to Chinese restaurant. 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 worst experience ordering out ever and I love everything. read more

Fantastic Yummy FOOD!! I am a picky eater when it comes to Chinese food. New China Express gets a well deserved 5 stars. Perfect takeout you'd hope for when your craving Mongolian Beef like a pregnant gal. I ordered 2 orders Mongolian Beef 4 stars, it was perfect and spicy! Beef was tender and enjoyable. Not greasy at all. Quick delivery/Hot food/Nice Staff! The gentleman even included rice and free egg rolls, that I didn't even request. I will most definitely be ordering from here again. 1 order was enough to fill a grown man up. Now I have an order in the fridge. Stuff is so good, hopefully it will last through the night.. read more

Delivery from eat24......this food is GROSS. Lemon Chicken sauce tastes aweful and there is nothing "Lemon" about it...it smells like almonds and is nasty....went in the trash. Egg rolls were white and way under cooked. Chicken lo mein was 2-3 star worthy and the only thing I actually ate, but would not order it again. This place is the worst Chinese take out I have ordered in about 10 years. Was this review ...? read more

What cheap food! I ordered delivery from this restaurant through the eat24 app. The delivery time was great. The food quality was horrible! The orange beef tasted old nd hardly had an orange flavor. The sweet and sour chicken was bland and the sauce wasn't anything special, tasted like it was poured from a jar. On top of that, I ordered hand noodles and was delivered egg foo young. Skip this place! I wasted over $30 there for cheap tasting grocery store deli chinese quality food. read more

Love this Chinese food joint! Best in the area! Super high quality and generous portions!

Love this place. They are always open, hella fast and their food is good. Service is great too. It's out Go-to place for late night Chinese!

I've ordered delivery twice from this place now; I'm less than 2 miles away so their delivery was super fast both times. Arrived hot, fresh and tasty. I received one wrong item recently but they were quick to refund me back the difference. I'll order from here again. read more
