This place is bomb. It's our goto local spot for Chinese. All these bad reviews are not fair. They deserve better reviews from us locals. Note, I am vegetarian and have never eaten meat here. CASH ONLY

Unfairly rated. We’ve ordered here dozens of times and it’s always been good. We especially think they do a good job with their sesame and general chicken. The fried rice here is really good and not dry.

I’ve never had a problem. Adding this review simply cuz the bad reviews pissed me off. This is my local go to place and has yet to disappoint. I feel us regulars don’t review our regular places enough so then all these random one time bad experiences bring the ratings down.

SO good! Ordered a General Tso’s with broccoli and house lo mein $21 total. A little bit pricey but after tasting it, it’s so worth it. Both the chicken and lo mein were perfectly seasoned. Chicken was crispy and saucy. Broccoli is fresh.

I order delivery from China Express. Fried Baby Shrimp at this place is pretty good. I also get Beef Chow Fun which is a broad rice noodle stir-fried. Pork Fried Rice that fried with roasted pork and Hot & Sour soup. Food came on time and very thing is in correct order.

This is my go to place for tasty sesame noodles and mu shoo vegetables. It's a take out spot not fine dining. Prices are decent BUT TAKE NOTE!!!! Order by phone and not on any of the apps!!!! On the apps the order was $31.87 and over the phone was $25.00. Usually can pick up within 5-10 minutes of ordering.

The shrimp lo mein was delicious. Fried green plantains was embarrassing to say the least. The chicken was okay. The shrimp fried rice is yellow rice, not actually fried rice.

Food is good but the price is not. $8.50 for a lunch “combo” is fine. BUT It’s $1.00 more for pork fried rice AND THIS “combo” gotta be the only one in NYC that DOESNT COME with an egg roll. What exactly is the combo?!? Egg roll is tiny AF TOO

🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨Serious Health and Safety Concerns at China Express. Please read before consuming any food from this establishment. This restaurant requires immediate Health Department intervention. Consider this a public warning: repeated, serious sanitation concerns have been reported without any corrective action. I’m posting this so no one else risks getting sick from this establishment This goes far beyond bad service. In addition to my own horrific experience at CHINA EXPRESS in Brooklyn, NY - customers have reported serious health concerns including RATS 🐀 spotted in the kitchen (as well as their excrement, yes their feces, on the floor), COCKROACHES 🪳 and other insects 🪰 found in food, as well as severe food poisoning after consuming food from China Express. Additionally, customer reviews for China Express in Brooklyn also cite: • Customers reporting food poisoning • A fly cooked into the food • Multiple people witnessing rats behind the counter and ON the counter • Employees touching food with filthy hands, no gloves, no washing • Staff coughing over the food • Repeated complaints of old, spoiled, days-old chicken • A pattern of charging people and not delivering the order • Staff yelling at customers when questioned This listing poses a public health risk, a consumer safety risk, and appears to violate multiple platform policies: false hours, false advertising, unsafe food handling, rodent activity, contaminated food, and non-delivery. Delivery platforms: this restaurant needs to be suspended and investigated immediately. If you value your health or your money: do NOT order from China Express. Ever.

Appalling. Waited 2 hours for no food to arrive and no-one answering the phone. Now I can’t get a full refund for Uber Eats but instead part paid in vouchers I don’t want to use for such terrible service. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. This restaurant is a waste of time and space.

I ordered a regular dish that was supposed to be $10.25 . I asked them to remove one vegetable in it and add "extra" of another vegetable that's there. "No x, can I get 'extra' y." They charged me $1.50 extra for the "extra" vegetable. I tried to explain to them they took away a vegetable so it's the same amount of food but they said they charge for "extra" even though the sum total was net zero. Also the fried rice was soft/soggy and not crispy which means they don't know how to cook fried rice. They have restaurant grade burners and don't know how to cook fried rice -- what's the point of having specialized equipment then??

THE PHONE GIRL HAS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS!! YOU CAN TELL THIS PHONE GIRL DOESN'T TAKE THE JOB SERIOUSLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW AMERICANS ARE VERY DETAILED IN HOW WE ORDER. YOU CAN'T BE A PHONE GIRL GETTING UP IN YOUR FEELINGS OVER A CUSTOMER EXPLAINING HOW THEY WANT THEIR FOOD COOKED ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CUSTOMERS ARE CONTRIBUTING TO YOUR PAY CHECK. IT'S A GIVE AND TAKE BUSINESS YOU HAVE TO BE ALIGNED WITH THE CUSTOMER REQUESTS RESPECTFULLY WITHOUT GETTING UPSET OVER MINOR PETTINESS OR GETTING OFFENSIVE TOWARDS THE CUSTOMER IF YOU CAN'T FULFIL A CERTAIN REQUEST THEN SAY SO RESPECTFULLY WITHOUT A NASTY ATTITUDE LIKE A LITTLE GIRL. BUSINESSES ISN'T MADE FOR YOUNG KIDS TRYING TO WORK IN AN ADULT SITUATION WHO THINK IMMATURELY. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN. I'D RATHER TAKE MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE TO AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT HAVE A PHONE GIRL WITH A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF ALL THE CUSTOMERS NOT JUST SOME OR SELECTIVE FEW THEY CHOOSE TO SPEAK WITH RESPECTFULLY YOU MUST SPEAK TO ALL THE CUSTOMERS RESPECTFULLY THE SAME. JUST BECAUSE YOUR HAVING A BAD DAY OR NOT IN A PROFESSIONAL MOOD THAT'S NO RIGHT TO TAKE OUT YOUR FRUSTRATIONS ON THE CUSTOMER WHO'S HELPING THE RESTAURANT YOU WORK FOR TO REMAIN IN BUSINESS BECAUSE THESE WORKERS FORGET THE FACTS OF THE PEOPLE KEEPS YOUR JOB SECURITY SECURE INTACT NOT YOUR ENTITLED SPOILED BRAT ATTITUDE.

I only ordered one thing from here as a try out it was the Philly cheese steak roll for $2.75. I've had it from a different Chinese restaurant years ago and it was the best and you got 2 in an order. This Philly cheese steak roll was horrible it was ground beef with cabbage and cheese that you couldn't see or taste the ground beef didn't even have a flavor. For some reason mines wasn't even hot when I got it, it was Luke warm and I ordered it inside and walked out with it. I will never order that again from this place how do you mess up something so simple.
