China Express

The prices are reasonable. Large portions. The employees are nice. You can always order take ahead by calling. The food is cooked the moment you order so the food is very fresh and hot. I come here at least once a week. Recently, I realized it is closed on Tuesdays so that’s different. Price is tasty though. Try to get lunch specials to save some money.

Very picky in Chinese food and order the same thing always, beef & broccoli is good the beef is actually beef or looks it and the broccoli is fresh every time I ordered. I never had a spring roll until this place and that was something I’ve been missing out on. Good take out!

I have ordered lunch from here twice because it is close to my work place. The food is decent but the woman who takes the orders over the phone always sounds like she can care less to get your business. Very unenthusiastic, robotic voice, ignores my questions. I’m hoping she’s not the owner. Because of her I will not be ordering from this place again.
Also, don’t order the dumplings, they are just the frozen ones which can be bought from Chinese supermarkets. Definitely not worth the price.

Very solid Chinese food

I have to say, as chinese delivery goes in Brooklyn this place is great. Always comes so fast and is really good. I’m not sayin it’s prime Chinese cuisine, but totally gets the job done and then some, for extremely cheap!

This is hands down the best General Tso I’ve had in NYC. The delivery is quick. The prices are cheap. Crab rangoons are dope.

Excellent American Chinese food, but the quality of the fried stuff is kind of inconsistent. Sometimes perfect, not greasy, and delicious — other times doughy and lukewarm. The general tsos and orange beef are our go-​tos, and way spicier and more garlicky than most takeout joints.

I lived in the east village where Chinese food options were rampant. After moving to Williamsburg, I’ve tried so many Chinese take out spots around me and none of them were good until I found China Express. This place is legit. Friendly service, quick delivery and delicious food.

I’ve been a regular customer at China Express for the past eight months. I’ve always gone in with a smile, ordered politely, never caused any headaches or hassles like I’ve seen other people do. I think that people who work in the food industry work very hard and deserve a lot of respect for the dedication and effort they put into serving their customers and having an upstanding establishment.
However, today when I went in for a small fries ($ 1.75) I gave a $ 10 when my food was ready and was only given $ 3 back. I got confused once I looked down at my change as I was walking out… I gave a $ 10 bill but was only given $ 3 back. I checked my purse to make sure I hadn’t accidentally given some other bill, but I knew the only money I brought with me was a $ 10 from my bag which I left at work. That was the only money I had — a single, $ 10 bill. I knew it was $ 10 because I owed my colleague $ 5 for doing me a favor and went to break the change with my fries.
I quickly went back to the counter and told them I didn’t get back the right change. I thought the woman who handled my money would rack her mind and realize that it was a $ 10 and she misthought when she was putting it in the till. I wasn’t expecting her to so adamantly insist that what I handed over was a $ 5. She didn’t believe me at all, it’s like she saw me as someone trying to take money from the restaurant by telling a lie.
I told her that I knew I only had a $ 10 bill on me, and that I even looked at the $ 10 on the way to the restaurant to calculate I would get $ 8 back, enough to cover my colleague and have a couple of dollars left for myself. But she refused to believe I had given her a $ 10. She told me I gave her a $ 5. I told them I would go back to work and check my bag to see if I had left the $ 10 in my bag and grabbed the wrong bill (somehow, even though I only had a $ 10).
I came back, of course there was no $ 10. It was gone because they had it. When I called back to tell her again that it was a $ 10, she told me again she was 100% certain that I gave her a $ 5 which is why she gave me back $ 3. When I got the same response. I started crying. I knew no matter what I said, I wasn’t going to get my money back. She clearly told me that she didn’t know what to tell me, that they don’t do things that way and that I would not be getting any money back.
I felt like shouting, «What do you mean you can’t do it? You have to do it! It’s your customer’s change! If you knew you gave someone a $ 10 bill and they told you it was $ 5, would you not fight for it too? You took my money. I want my change, that’s all. A $ 10 bill is a lot to give someone, only to get $ 3 back when you ordered something that cost $ 1.75. You kept $ 5 extra of mine and I want it back.»
But I didn’t. I cried instead, and told them I wouldn’t go back. But I know they won’t mind. They get lots of business, and all I ever was to them was a couple of sodas/​crispy noodles/​fries/​lunch specials a week. But I’m tired of being that customer that so readily accepts that things are their fault, because they’re told so. By nature I’m apologetic. With each order I place or money I hand over I’m very meek and mild. I always keep up my end of the transaction, say my please and thank you’s, and move as quickly as possible to make room for other customers. But this behavior is exactly what leads to people thinking they could take advantage of you.
Anyway, it’s almost unbelievable, the shock that occurs once you realize your money is gone. If you’re doubting this review, don’t. If you think they were in the right and it was probably me who made the mistake, you’re wrong. If you think I probably did give a $ 5, don’t. I used to like China Express, especially when they brought their little baby in. But I was stolen from and I won’t go back. I hope they reply to this and offer to give me my change. I can see that they check up on their customer service from that letter they posted on the mirror, saying one customer’s loyal and genuine feedback and suggestions. Please read this China Express.

Chinese fast food, sometimes all you need is an order of their chicken wings with fried rice. The portions are huge even for a regular order and they cook it the way you like it, more gravy/​less rice. The cashiers are also very orderly and works fast.

This place will not meet high expectations, but if you’re coming to a place like this you’re likely just expecting face and cheap chinese food.
This is a good place to eat if you’re hungry and want quick food that will definitely fill you up on the cheap. This place is pretty americanized, but what do you expect. In the end, its just another cheap, fast chinese food spot, not a place to take out-​of-​towners.

Very kind service. So delicious food. And delivery faster than other stores. I’ve been here 2 years. They do very good business, so their food is very fresh. And most important thing is they always got «A». That’s one more reason I order here all the time.

Really, really good, super cheap chinese food that delivers.
I got:
Fried Wontons: Great, only $ 3.25, ordered with hunan sauce instead of pink sauce :)
Eggdrop Wonton Soup: No complaints, $ 2
House Special Lo Mein: Pretty decent portion, $ 5

It’s hard to find good Chinese food around Brooklyn, but this place has changed my mind about that. I took another reviewer’s recommendation of getting the orange chicken (extra crispy) and it really hit the spot. I also recommend the general tso’s chicken and the egg drop soup when it’s cold outside. Very comforting when you are home sick or fighting a cold!
Not a great place to eat in, but good for take-​out or delivery.

The food here is good. I question the 5-​star reviews because while it’s good, it is not the world’s greatest Chinese food.
The prices are very reasonable and the service is friendly. I eat here pretty frequently and will continue to do so.

I addition to the massive amount of MSG, food coloring and meat tenderizer, the crispy cockroach is the real secret ingredient in their dishes. Eat at your own risk.

Actually I do not really like Chinese food, i mean the way it smells. But at China express they got very tasty and good smelling food;) Service is fast and polite. And it is not expensive at all.
Just one drawback is the lack of good english speaking skills of the personnel.

Good old American Chinese joints. Some say they’re all the same, but the true budget connoisseurs can always tell. China Express has it all.
Free (incredibly fast) delivery, $ 10.00 minimum. The food is good, not at all over-​salty or greasy. Prices are pretty much the same as any other, so you can eat for days on almost nothing! As a further note, here they say they exclusively use soybean oil. I’m allergic to peanuts and I didn’t immediately seize up and die, so I must take them at their word.
Missing star due to missing fortune cookie. Tragic!

Been coming to this spot for years. Its a Thursday night tradition.
Their service is swift, the food is fresh and the prices are right.
They are cash only and they crank out some tried and true favorites.
Whether you’re jonesing for fried chicken wings and French fries, or general Tso’s chicken with pork fried rice, they always come thru.
Having experienced some great dumplings in Chinatown, I do not care for the dumplings at China Express. The wonton is too gummy and doughy and the filling is lacking some fresh herbs. The wonton soup is good though.

Go figure, I didn’t even know this place existed and so close to home and with pretty decent chinese food. I was a fan, for the most part, and they were fast.
The food:
kung pao chicken dinner combo (comes with egg roll) — it was delicious
egg drop soup — also delicious
shrimp lo mein — lo mein was good, shrimp was so-​so
pork fried rice — delicious
szechuan spicy wontons — not good, they were sweet and not so spicy
triple crown (tender white meat chicken, beef & jumbo shrimps blended with seasonal chinese vegetables. it is given personality by a brown sauce for epicures only) — not to shabby, but not as delicious as expected
I would totally order from them again. Great portions at great prices too.
