China Express

We got the veggie egg rolls(so great) chicken chow mein (so good) and Hawaiian chicken (other wordly) so good!!! I'm a vegetarian who buys meat just for my kids but I had to nibble at the fried edges of the Hawaiian chicken it was so great. It stays crispy somehow even tho the sauce is creamy. wow. And the folks were so nice to us!

One of the BEST food places in alameda and one of my favorite chinese takeouts in the oakland area. So good, freshly made, the staff are always super kind. and so SPEEDY! we go once a month and it is always stellar

My coworkers and I ordered a large amount of food today from this place and it was absolutely delicious. It was so tasty. I ordered fried prawns, chicken fried rice and shrimp chow mein. I can’t stop eating. I highly recommend Little Joe. The owners are very nice. Delivery was seamless. We will be ordering again.

Highly recommend this spot. This is the style I grew up eating and I’m so glad I live walking distance. Prices are also very reasonable! There is only one table so I would expect to just take out instead. This isn’t really a dine in place.

The food is great. Bring this to-go to someone born in Shanghai 90 years ago. He says it’s the only food that tastes like what he remembers. The team is very attentive and thoughtful. Very accommodating of vegetarian requests. This is more of a to-go place than eat in. Highly recommend.

Best Chinese food. Can't go wrong with any choice. But I highly recommend the chef specials 👌 😉

This place is hands down my favorite Chinese spot in Alameda. The owner and employees are friendly. The entrees are delicious and made quickly and the vegetables are always super fresh and plentiful! You get a lot of food for the price, so it's a great option to feed multiple people or if my partner and I order 2 (or sometimes three) entrees, we have several servings of leftovers to enjoy the next day. Love the place!

I've been wanting to go here for a while but I finally got to try it. I will say they were super nice, and quick. I got regular chow mein which was about 12$ . I would say the portion size was slightly smaller than I expected but it tasted yummy. I would just prefer mine with a tad more soy sauce( just added my own) . Their chili oil was just the oil no actual chilies in it but it was spicy. I think ill go back test some other things.

I love salt and pepper pork chops. I've ordered them at about all the Chinese food joints on the island. For some reason Little Joe's Express makes them completely different. They make them out of spare ribs instead of pork chops. But all in all the food was always on time when I'd come to pick it up. Parking usually isn't a problem because there are only a few stores that flank it.

This spot is walking distance from me, so on the days I feel lazy it’s affordable and the menu has healthy options. 3 stars because the quality could be better. I usually like to order a lunch special - the soups could be more generous with the egg drop. Also every now and then I bite into an egg shell in my egg fried rice - I get it happens sometimes with cooking eggs esp if they’re moving fast but not the most pleasant thing to experience when you’re eating. The service is friendly, and they pack the meal nicely to go.

This is a nice cozy place. The food is fresh and some of the dishes are very good. But what I really like about the place is the waitress their, who always greets us with a smile and is very professional with her service! She always checks on us to see if everything is fine and refills the water and that is awesome, when you do not have to ask!! So head on down to get your Chinese food grub on ! Later!

I've ordered from here 2 times and had a different experience both times. The first time everything was oowee delicious! I got shrimp egg foo young, some kinda Hawaiian chicken dish I think, fried wings and something else. It was all very good. The second time I got shrimp egg foo young again, honey walnut shrimp and chowmein and it was all pretty average. The egg foo young the first time was very flavorful but the second time it was pretty bland. The same with the honey walnut shrimp dish; it was very plain lacking flavor; the same with chowmein. Tbh the second time it tasted like there was no MSG on my food; I don't have any problem with cooking with MSG and I think it's a wonderful flavor enhancer for dishes; my dishes the second time all seemed to be lacking umami. Maybe they left off the MSG the second time? I'll still go back again though. The people who work there are also very friendly.

It is hit or miss here. But once you get to know the menu you figure out what is good and what to skip. Service and delivery is always 5 stars. My favorite Chinese is sweet and sour anything, SKIP THIS HERE. They use mayonnaise. I'm not sure why but it's a terrible thick sticky goo and not the good kind lol. Meh, the egg rolls are greasy but the taste is good. So if you don't mind a LOT of grease go for it. Our favorites, Shrimp, chicken or bbq pork fried rice. BBQ Pork Chow Mein Crispy Shrimp Pot stickers Beef and broccoli We pretty much stick to these items and then occasionally throw in something new just to try it. Enjoy!

Would have been 5 stars, because the food tastes good, but there was very little (5 small slices) of beef in my Mongolian beef. Didn't really want just onions for lunch :( I ordered a dish with more veggies so that the lack of much meat (which I'm fine with, I prefer lots of veggies and little meat in general) didn't leave me with pretty much just onions and it was much better. I will be going back; just careful to order things that will be good with smaller portions of meat.

This is not a consistently good place. Loved it the first time but the last two times were inedible. Just waisted $50 on some undercooked prawns with the most repulsive batter that was like a slimy thick mayo. Also some garlic green beans with no sign of garlic or flavor. Horrible.
