Not what I was expecting. I was expecting a stir fry eggplant and tofu and I received just fried tofu and eggplant. My Mongolian beef is literally beef and onions.. read more

Since I work close by, I have been a few times and the lunch specials are very good. The rice noodles are yummy, salt and pepper pork is delicious, fried potstickers are great and the french fries are in abundance and hot!!!! We are always greeted and helped right away. I know they do get a crowd, but, most times, it's fairly quiet. read more

Food is delicious. Egg fo young and cashew nut chicken is great. All their food is delicious.

I was absolutely shocked at how good the food was! It was getting close to 8:00 pm and we don't have any really good Chinese food in Roseville; at least not in our opinion. I always have to head into Sacramento if I want tasty Chinese food. Anyway, it seems almost all the Chinese restaurants close by 8 pm. I called my wife, and we decided Thai would be fine. I drove to our favourite, House of Thai Rice & Noodles, and it was closed, too! Lo and behold, China Express right across the street was still open! I guess I'll give 'em a try! I ordered Mongolian Beef, String Bean Chicken, General Chicken, BBQ Pork Chow Mein, and fried pork potstickers. The food was cooked fresh. The price was right. The portions were fine. And overall, each of the dishes were really tasty! The folks working were so friendly, attentive, helpful, and quick! From the exterior, I was not expecting the quality food or level of service we received. While the interior of the store is relatively clean, it's not decorated in the most elegant way. But hey, I'll be back! The food was that good! I guess it's true; you can't judge a book by its cover! read more

I truly love this place they have amazing food it's delicious they have great customer service delivery is wonderful . Their pricing is good I order from here all the time if you want a good Chinese place to go to either visit them or have them deliver you get a great value for the price . read more

Not sure why so low stars. It's the best Chinese on watt ave. Tasty chow mein, and good broccoli beef.

Quick and tasty Chinese food. If you're in a hurry and want some good egg foo young this is the spot. They do a lot of to go orders but you can eat inside if you don't want to call in a order read more

Ordered a combination chow mien for takeout and it was bland. Maybe that's why they gave soy sauce. The service was okay. read more

This food tasted prefrontal and heated. The sweet and sour pork had 2 pineapple 4 slivers of carrots and 2 slivers of bell pepper and the crab wonton were horrible. Definitely would not recommend. read more

I ordered from Caviar. I got $5 off and free delivery to sweeten the pot. Delivery and prep was quick. They did make my brow raise with a 3 star review on Yeezy but I put that to rest with recent 4-5 star reviews and I was just getting fried rice and chow mein tonight which is basic and hard to eff up. I ordered bbq chow mein and chix chow mein and a bbq pork fried rice. Ok not hard right? Well, they had to screw that up. I got 2 fried rices and 1 chow mein. Rush. Rush. I assume. Oh well. Ahhh the food...yes...All boxes had a battle of the bulge. Bulging box lid that is. The rice was like a square brick with a square parapet on top to bulge the box. No rubber bands but piled to the top. Appreciate that. Taste? Good. Not anywhere the best but had a light smoky wok flavor and generous enough on the meat. Appreciate that again. From the looks of photos, this place is a quick to-go place or a sitdown. Not sure if dine in is the haps now or just takeout. Anyways, I can totally get behind $7.99 per on fried rice or chow mein fixes. I'll excuse the order fugup and give them a pass other than a one star laptop dock for that. Greasy as f$$k and good as f%%k. Now you know...fix you up some proper like! Stimulate them during these tough BS covid times!!! It will stimulate your taste buds in return!! read more

Tried for the first time via DoorDash. Ordered the Shrimp Egg Foo Young which was in a delicious gravy sauce with mixed vegetables. Also got the Black Bean Fish, great flavor & wasn't mushy like other places. It has a slight crunch to the batter. House Special fried rice was ok, didn't have bbq pork in it. Only shrimp, chicken & beef. Next time I'll order BBQ pork fried rice. Everything was tasty! Will order again. read more

So I came here because I wanted Chicken Egg Foo Young, and they did not disappoint! The sauce it was smothered in was delicious, and this plate was loaded with veggies too! Get rice, you'll definitely want it for the amount of sauce in this meal. read more

Best Chinese food in town. A go to for sure. They are busy, but they always keep a steady flow.

Lunch time and today I feel sweet & sour chicken! I hit up China Express @ 5749 Watt Avenue in N. Highlands CA. I ordered from the lunch special menu of sweet & sour chicken, fried rice w/ egg roll on the side. There was some tech. issues w/ register but got a delicious bowl of egg drop soup for the wait! My lunch was delivered hot & beautiful! Everything was very delicious, hot and pleasing to my palate! I've eaten here a couple of times & food is always very good! All staff and especially cooks run a a great home-like restaurant that delivers great food in a comfortable, clean environment! Loved the food!!Definitely recommend !! read more

This is an in and out place! They are on top of it every time I go there. The food is always on point. We get our household staples of bbq pork fried rice, sesame chicken and pot stickers. And they never fail. read more

I have DD this place 3 times in 2 months and they have been consistently good! I love this place because it's an unexpected hole in the wall that busts out some damn good fresh Chinese food and because of the location it's very reasonable in price. Also they pay attention to your special requests you can add in the notes. Such as no onion, or sub orange chicken for garlic chicken with their lunch specials, because garlic chicken wasn't listed on DD. Whenever I try a new Chinese food place I'll get a couple lunch specials 1st, therefore I'm not spending a ton and won't be stuck with leftovers I'm going to throw out. Or maybe I want a couple different entrees and don't want to spend a ton ordering them, "a la carte" and then being stuck with a ton of leftovers my small family won't be able to finish. Their portions are very good in size and the veggies are not overly cooked! The food is not overly greasy, and the sauces and seasonings they use are very good! So far we have had non-crispy garlic chicken (I meant to get the crispy but didn't know they had non crispy) even though it wasn't battered, it was delicious! The appearance was a bit off putting cuz it looked like small pieces of chicken pail in color. But, you can't judge food based on its appearance! I've had food that looked delicious and tasted like garbage. Anyways, I tried it because I paid for it and it was my error. Much to my surprise, it was freaking phenomenal! I will definitely be ordering non-crispy garlic chicken again because it's healthier and not deep-fried. We have ordered broccoli beef twice and usually when you get broccoli beef it's mostly just broccoli with a few pieces of beef. There were equal portions I would say of broccoli and beef. The beef is always tasty and It's not fatty and the sauce is not salty. We have also had their general chicken, sweet and sour pork, and Peking pork. The Peking pork is bite-size pieces bone in, so be careful! But again the pieces of meat they use are not fatty, and the food is not overly greasy or salty. Their chow mein and fried rice is also spot on. This last time I had to add a tiny bit of soy sauce to my chow mein, but I'd rather have it that way than it being overly salty. But after adding a tiny bit of soy sauce, it was perfect. My family has 2 other places we order Chinese food from. But this place has definitely become one of our go to #1 places because the prices are great and the food is consistently good. What more could you ask for? Usually I provide pictures, but I couldn't wait and wanted to immediately scarf this delicious food down. On my next cheat day when I order Chinese food from this place again, I will try to refrain myself from scarfing the food down and provide a picture. read more

This is the best Chinese food in the general area. It's worth the slight extra distance for us. It's consistently great every time we've been there. This last time was probably the best. The food is flavorful and fresh. read more

No 1 China Express - Chicken and Mushroom over rice - Chinese Near Me - North Highlands, California

Have been coming here every so often. Always good food and service. Lady that is working the front area always has a smile on her face.

I love the general shrimp! & potstickers. Lunch special with the fried rice. Friendly family, call ahead during inch or before 3 it's busy.

I will not be purchasing from this restaurant anymore. I asked for extra shrimp and extra mushrooms and I did not get what I paid for. My side dishes were over heaping and my entree was barely a lunch serving and I paid dinner prices. My wife ordered vegetable delight and she asked for substitutions and for extra vegetables and she didn't get what she ordered. We went in and ordered. read more

Small gem in a hidden neighborhood! This no-frills chinese food place is actually pretty good. The price is low ($5.99 lunch with a huge plate of food with free soda). The food tastes good, cooked fresh, served piping hot. The meat is well seasoned, and they use a lot of ingredients. They don't skimp on meat and veggies :) The inside is quite clean. The tables are all clean and the lighting is bright with tall windows. The staff are nice and friendly. They even gave us a free plate of salt-and-pepper chicken because we were return-customers! The food is served quite quickly. Perfect for getting a quick bite for lunch and then going back to work. Overall, a great place for chinese food if you have the craving! Will definitely go back. read more

This use to be one of my favorite restaurants to eat!! We live in Elk Grove and drove 45 min to go here to eat because their food was that good!! Unfortunately I witnessed something that changed all of that! As my son and I were eating the curtain to the kitchen area was open and we witnessed an older gentleman preparing meat when 3 large pieces of meat fell out of the bag onto the dirty floor! To my amazement the old gentleman just picked them up and put them in the bag and kept sorting the meat! I felt discussed and my food no longer tasted good after seeing that!! I told the lady server who always call you dear when speaking to you but all she said was realty?? After this visit I no longer will be eating there as to you really don't know what else they are doing behind closed doors!!! I was thinking of calling the health department so maybe they can educate them that those things are not healthy for customers eating that! I took pictures afterwards of the floor and you be the judge if you want to eat meat that touched this floor!!! read more

OH MAN!! This place is the bomb! Even after new owners, we continue going here and supporting their business. Their dine- in is open and I couldn't be happier! Many things have changed, especially their chicken. Previous owners had good chicken, but this is even better. The lady inside who serves is amazing! Very sweet, polite and always consistent. Their quantity of food has stayed the same if not more. One thing I will say is some of the food has definitely changed, and it's most likely because of the new owners. New people new things! I'm excited to see what these owners have to offer and so far i love them! read more

Tried this place for the first time recently through a delivery app and was very impressed with the speed of preparation, presentation, taste, quantity and quality of the food. The hot and sour soup and chicken with vegetables was very tasty. The stir fry had lots of chicken and several kinds of fresh veggies. Will be ordering here again for sure! read more

I love this place Never disappoints. For the price you get big portions from the service speedy delivery.

Decided to try out the restaurant for lunch on a Sunday and was excited to find my new favorite Chinese restaurant. Excellent prices, services and food! Moved from the Bay Area five years ago and it's been so hard to find something until now. If you have not been there, I would highly suggest trying it. Perfect restaurant for take out or dine in. read more

I pulled into the parking lot and didn't realize there are 2 Chinese places in the same little strip mall. This one is on the left on the corner of the strip mall. I walked in and they have tables blocking the entrance with hand sanitizer and all of the menu options as well as a take home menu. I already knew what I wanted when I arrived. The girl taking orders was super sweet and very quick to help. Based on the crab cream cheese won tons I would come back. I also ordered wor won ton soup. They give you plenty of soup for the money but flavor wise its a pass. It's a bit bland and the won tons are band as well. They use canned mushrooms blech. At least the soup doesn't taste like dishwater but just too bland for me. In their defense I did get there not too long after opening. It was still piping hot when I got home tho. Update: ok I put the soup together and let it sit for a few hours which must've given the flavors time to meld. The soup was actually pretty good after sitting for a bit. I'm glad I didn't toss it and decided to save it for later, I think it was just bland because the ingredients needed time to sit and absorb the broth. The crab cream cheese won tons were very good. The filling ratio to won ton was good and they actually taste like they have crab in them rather than tasting like a glob of cream cheese. These will be my go to but I will definitely need to try other dishes. Crab cream cheese won tons and wor won ton soup was $15 and some change out the door. read more
