    The spread.

    Stopped by the Orange Chicken Spot because of the business name alone. I'm a sucker for since orange chicken. I'm even guilty of picking up the frozen orange chicken at Trader Joe's every now and then. I ordered the three-item combo with half rice, half noodles: hot orange chicken, pepper steak, and honey walnut shrimp. First thing I noticed was that nothing was greasy or overly salty, which already puts this place ahead of most takeout spots. The honey walnut shrimp was done right: crisp and not drowned in sauce. The orange chicken is where you should go spicy. Both versions have solid orange flavor, but the hot one is clearly better and honestly, it's not even that spicy. Just more depth. The pepper steak was a dependable pick with strong black bean flavor without crossing into being overly salty. Scan the QR code and join their rewards program. Your first one-item chicken bowl is free. Order, show your phone at the register, and done.

    Hot Orange Chicken and Honey Walnut Shrimp

    So maybe we came at the right time, cause I am not understanding all of these poor reviews. For a fast food Chinese take out spot, this place was really good. The staff were nice and let us sample multiple proteins, extremely helpful since it was our first time going. The chow mein was really good and I loved the garlic flavor to their noodles. In my opinion, it beats their rice any day. I chose a 2 entree plate and it had plenty of food, enough for left overs. I chose the hot orange chicken and their walnut shrimp. The hot orange chicken had a sweet tang to it and was more flavorful than their original orange. The chicken was nice and crispy. Their walnut shrimp was insanely better than pandas, you can't even compare. It was crispy with a nice panko breading, whereas you get nothing but sogginess from panda. They charge $1.50 extra but it's so worth it! They give you plenty of shrimp, cannot complain. Definitely give them a try, we went early and got there before it was packed for lunch. We will be back for sure.

    Panda Express, move aside! You've gotta check out the Orange Chicken Spot in Tempe, and they're practically begging you to try them. You can snag a free chicken bowl of your choice. All new customers get one free chicken bowl on their first visit. To claim it, you usually just sign up for their loyalty program or scan a QR code at the register when you order. I went with Chicken Teriyaki and veggies over chow mein, and Shanda got Chicken Teriyaki over fried rice, and seriously, the portions are massive. We totally loved our Chicken Teriyaki bowls and are already planning to go back soon. Give them a shot next time you're craving quick Chinese, and don't forget, the first bowl's on them.

    What a great spot. Definitely a must try. As they say better than them others guys. I enjoyed stopping in to support and try something new. I really enjoyed the selection, the customer service as I was greeted when entering and helped quickly. It's a fast casual vibe and they even offer other menu items beside the hot food line. Their salt and pepper wings were my Fav over the pork chop ones. They offer better quality, better selection and affordable prices. Definitely add this one to your list of must try's.

    2.5 Stars Let me start by admitting that I fell for an Instagram reel for this place. I am here to de influence/influence your decision to stop in the Orange Chicken Spot. The first thing I noticed was the amount of foot traffic OCS had the night I visited. I was not aware of this place until I saw a social media post. This seems to be the Mom & Pop's of Panda Express and they have signs to say they are better. Very similar layout on their cafeteria style line. The employees behind the counter seemed overwhelmed. The line was unkempt with dried sauces and pieces of drying food on the stainless steel line between all the steam table pans. Maybe I caught them after a rush. We pay and get to a table and they were not all clean. I did see an employee wipe down tables when the foot traffic lightened up. The food is very passable. The carbonation in their soda fountain was so light that it was if you were drinking syrup with tap water. The chow mein was pretty bland. Again, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say the kitchen was overwhelmed as the staff behind the counter looked. My beef items had way more sweetness than savory from my mental imprint of how I have had them at other places. Overall, it will be a long while before I come back. I wish them much success and always root for the underdog.

    When we went last week, it was their 2nd day of their soft opening. They acknowledged they were still fine tuning their recipes. That in mind, my review reflects that. It was about 2PM on Saturday, and most of the dishes were half empty. Between husband and I, we shared the chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, kung pao chicken, Beijing beef, black pepper beef, chicken egg roll, and hong kong egg roll. For that plus a small drink, it was $20 (soft opening price). Fried rice- super dry Chow mein- noodles not cooked enough Orange chicken- too much breading, dry kung pao chicken- ok beijing beef- ok black pepper beef- ok chicken egg roll- Probably the best thing we had (not pictured) hong kong egg roll- asked the server what this was. She didn't know. It's a veggie egg roll. Good. There's potential, but the recipes definitely need adjustments.

    Amazing local place. Please go here instead of Panda. Similar prices, way bigger portions.

    I probably won't go back. The food was OKAY. The worker seemed as if she didn't want to be there. She moved extremely slow and as the line of people just kept growing she showed no sense of urgency. It was very clean inside though.

    Came here randomly as it was a newer place and looked interesting. It's a fast casual place. I was hoping for the quality of the orange chicken to be more elevated than Panda Express, but unfortunately I couldn't taste the difference. Didn't seem like high quality food and I wouldn't return. It's not bad, it's just not good. The decor was nice though and I can see a lot of potential in this spot. I just wish the food was different enough to justify going here over a place like Panda Express.

    Went to this place on a whim because I was in the area and found out they were brand new!! I was greeted very warmly upon arrival and the lady who made my plate was very kind a LOADED up my plate. I am so happy with the food, they have all the same stuff as Panda Express except it tastes better and you get more of it FOR THE SAME PRICE. If you are and ASU student or just live in the area this place is a must. Definitely my new go to over Panda Express. The inside was cute and clean as well. The fried rice and chow mein are way better than panda. The orange chicken tastes more homemade and the sauce on the mushroom chicken is great. Highly recommend

    2 item combo (noodles, hot orange chicken & Kung pao chicken)
    Sam H.

    I finally had some time to check this place out. I was reminded by a recent vlogger that I have been try their food. It is supposed to be better than a national chain. Upon entering, there were a couple of seated patrons and a busy line getting orders filled. After about 10 minutes, it was my time to order, the first thing that struck me was that several of their dishes were empty and none had been replenished (regular orange chicken and Beijing beef). One would think that during a lunch rush you will make sure one would have had enough of supply available. Sadly one of the dishes I wanted to try was the Beijing beef. Anyway, the young lady that was ready to take my order didn't acknowledge me or address me as what I would like or anything, she just sat there and stared at me. Nonetheless, I attempted to address her (by saying hi and I would like to try their 2 item combo with noodles). The 2 items I chose were hot orange chicken & kung pao chicken for to go. The place is a small to medium size store front and appeared to be clean. By the time I arrived home, I opened the box and and it was not packed full like others have claimed, it was the normal packing like any other place (including the national chain). Everything tasted the same to me as the national chain, it was not better; granted at least it wasn't worse. Pricing is basically the same, only 20 cents cheaper here. While i wouldn't go out of my way to get this food here, if I am in the area, I would stop. Food is ok, service has opportunities to improve with a simple hello and how may I help you or what would you like today?

    Bowl with half rice half noodle, hot orange chicken
    Ashley J.

    They have a grand opening promo to get a free bowl so make sure you sign up! I got my free bowl with half and half-rice and noodles and hot orange chicken. This place is so bomb!! The hot orange chicken or just the right amount of kick, not too crazy spicy. Also I didn't get any funky chicken pieces. Also the egg in the fried rice is perfect and not over cooked, which I really appreciate. I can tell that everything is made fresh and recently and they were actively refilling fresh things as I waited. The employee was really nice and friendly and he stuffed my bowl super full which I really appreciate! The atmosphere is clean and nice to sit down and enjoy your meal.

    Denise V.

    This place continues to impress me! The food is absolutely delicious every time, with standout favorites like the Chow Mein, Beef & Broccoli, Honey Walnut, and Orange Chicken.. The bomb! The atmosphere is chic, the service is excellent, and the staff and the managers are always friendly and accommodating. This is my third visit, and I've never been disappointed -- I'll definitely be coming back for more!

    The best place for Hong Kong-style roast meats, hands down. I've been coming here for over a decade…read moreand the quality is almost always consistent -- and the recent switch from cabbage to bok choy on the side has made the roast meat plates even better. They even offer a variety of dipping sauces when dining in now. During my latest visit, we ordered roast pork and roast duck rice plates. Both had wonderfully crispy skin and tasted fresh. I love that the duck here is never too gamey or salty like at other locations. I also love the soup! The west lake beef soup was the right level of thickness, with a solid amount of meat and mushrooms. It's perfect with white pepper added from the table. Service is always friendly, and has been more efficient in recent years. Will continue to be a loyal customer, especially as they remain open 365 days a year :)

All was great, plentiful and nicely priced, especially when compared to San Francisco and Seattle. Our server was attentive, accommodating and served all with a smile. When next we return and we will return soon we'll order the jewels: roast pork and barbecue pork. No matter what you have to do, get yourself to Best Hong Kong Dining. We will.

    My husband and I have been eating at Asian Cafe Express for years…read more And when I say years, I mean this is one of those rare places that slowly becomes woven into the fabric of your life and memories over time. The family and staff here know us by first name, and every time we walk through the doors, I am reminded a little of that old television show *Cheers* -- where everybody knows your name. Even though we travel all over the country and internationally now, we still somehow make it a point to stop here whenever we are back in the Phoenix area. Not just for the food. But because these people genuinely feel like old friends. What amazes me most is that despite how busy the restaurant always is, someone from the family still manages to come over and greet us whenever we visit. There is something deeply warm and authentic about that kind of hospitality that you simply cannot manufacture through corporate training. And speaking of authentic... This is, in my opinion, some of the most authentic Chinese food left in the Phoenix area. Many of the old gold-standard Chinese restaurants we used to love throughout the Valley have sadly disappeared over the years, while others slowly became watered-down imitations aimed almost entirely toward generic Americanized expectations. Asian Cafe Express somehow managed to preserve what made those older places special. We almost always order from the Chinese menu rather than the more standard tourist-oriented side of the menu, and the difference is absolutely worth it. The salt and pepper pork chop remains one of my favorite dishes here -- beautifully crisp, savory, aromatic, and addictive in all the right ways. The chicken curry is another standout, with a deeply flavorful sauce that has a wonderful spicy richness without becoming overwhelming. Though if you're spice-sensitive, they are happy to tone it down for you. Everything tastes freshly prepared, vibrant, and full of the kind of layered flavor that tells you the kitchen actually knows what it's doing. I also love seeing how much the surrounding area has changed over the years. The restaurant used to feel tucked away in a quieter strip mall area, but now the neighborhood around it has grown substantially, with many more restaurants and businesses nearby. The large grocery store next door especially transformed the area from what it used to be years ago. And yet somehow, Asian Cafe Express itself still feels exactly the same in the ways that matter. There is a reason this place is constantly packed. Between dine-in customers and nonstop takeout orders, the staff always seems to be moving at full speed. But honestly? That is usually the sign of someplace doing things right.

    It been quite an absence since visiting Asian Cafe Express…read more There's so many other places to try! Surprisingly as I walked in, staff waved and greeted me.

Inside, the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect -- controlled chaos, with traditional steam carts rolling through a packed dining room filled with large family tables. The service is hit or miss, and with dim sum you often want your favorites right away, so sometimes you just have to wait for the cart to come around. Tried a variety of dishes. The Cheung Fun has always been a favorite of mine and it was decent. The Shumai, Har Gow, Char Siu Bao, Lo Bak Go, Taro, and of course Dan Tat (egg tarts) were all good. I think I'm officially done ordering Wu Gok though -- that one didn't do much for me and probably won't be on my list next time. Almost forgot, you can't have yum cha without Gai Lan, and as usual it was good -- honestly a dish that's hard to mess up. Overall, the best dim sum I've had so far in Arizona.
