China Mama Express

Great food, always fresh and fast serviceA great spot for a Togo order.Friendly staff, clean and quick.

Amazing food & service! We would definitely recommend the orange chicken & spring rolls

The ease and speed of ordering and getting served at China Mama Express gives it a massove advantage over the standard dine-in China Mama locations city-wide. And lest you think of this as the Panda Express (to Panda Inn) of the China Mama empire, it's not. This is a much more stripped down version of the menu but the tatste and quality is the same. I generally choose the dine-in option for maximum enjoyment and have yet to experience a standing room only situation.If you happen to get Erika as your order-taker, even better.

Where to start? In Vegas with some buddies and we try this place based on a recommendation from our Uber Driver on a previous trip. Located in Shanghai Plaza away from the strip this place could double its size and easily keep the tables full. In fact, if you have a group larger than 6 you will end up being shoehorned into a table. But the food and service easily make up for that. We had a group of 7 so our seating arrangement was a tad tight but they made it work. Sapporo beer and Sake helped wash down some of THE best Chinese food we've enjoyed anywhere. Seriously. We had several appetizers and 7-8 dishes and they were all fabulous. From Mama's Famous Pork Buns (you gotta try them) to the Twice Cooked Pork (spicy), the Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Lo Mein, Mama's Special Fried Rice etc, the meal was spot on. Mama has another place opened in the Palace Station Casino which I can only assume is bigger. So next time in town we'll have to go there.China Mama is the real deal.

SOOO yummy! Had shrimp fried rice (honestly, it was just so-so) ginger scallion fish filet (OMG SO GOOD) honey walnut shrimp (delicious) and roasted duck (delicate and nice.) Erika was super sweet and helpful-- excellent customer service! Sure, it's a really small space, but it's also a nice place to sit and enjoy high quality food. Great people, too. Highly recommend this location!

WOW!!! The place was renovated and it looks incredible!! My favorite dishes are the spicy wontons, crispy beef, and the chicken chow mein!!! Always feels good to come here and enjoy their delicious food.

Congrats to China Mama for being glossed as the eighth best Chinese restaurant in all of America by Yelp. Holy Pot Stickers, there are about 50,000 Chinese restaurants in the U.S. so that's quite the honor! (though I don't necessarily agree)Of the four entrees tasted:Mongolian beef - generous portion of nice tasting steak pieces with most of the fat and gristle trimmed off. Crispy beef - a mound of beef slivers that are battered, fried, then coated with sweet and sticky spices. Comes with rice and tastes almost dessert-like. Beef roll - looks like a wrap rolled up with paper-thin slices of spiced beef and then fried. Nice taste (hoisin flavor, as in Mu Shu dishes?) but could have used some dipping sauce like their website photo shows.Chicken fried rice - drab tasting with pre-frozen peas, carrot cubes, and under-spiced chicken pieces...the dish is prepared with little or no soy and a packet or two of imitation soy sauce added after the fact does not rescue it. Pass on such a weak attempt at this 'non-gourmet' version of fried rice.But aside from the traditional, there's also a nice option to order lesser known dishes which is always tempting to do. I was all set to try the 'Husband and Wife Lung Slices' for $15.99, but collapsed under pressure because a visual of Hannibal Lector saying, "Bon appetit!" appeared inside my head and wouldn't go away. In the end, I like most of the food at China Mama Express although they could class things up a bit. It's in a tight space and upon entering, there was one customer waiting for a takeout order while a staff member chowed down on a mini-feast in front of us at one of only three tables. After I ordered she disappeared into the kitchen, presumably to help cook it, while her half eaten meal sat there. She emerged a couple times, went back in, never wore gloves, her late lunch sitting there interrupted. An employee stuffing her face is never a good look for the diner to see when entering any small restaurant. C'mon, do better!But despite the weird vibe, the food mostly does taste good. Maybe they can improve on a few things to make it more worthy of the high ranking.

Ordered online and was ready on time. Food was hot and ready. Crispy beef was amazing and so was the honey walnut shrimp! Fresh and yummy. This is a little far from my house (I'm in Mtns Edge), but closer than China town! Excellent authentic chinese food!

Great and very kind and fast service. Always excellent and fast food. My favorite place in Vegas. Erika always helps me out and makes sure I'm taken care of
