Chinatown Express

I been coming here since I was 16 years old. I used to live in the area. I still come all the way from East Long Beach to indulge in this nostalgic cuisine.I haven't been here in years but today it popped in our heads and we came down to relive the tasty remembrance of our past.To our surprise they ditched the cash only and finally accept cards. (with a 50 cent charge)The food is exactly how I remember it. The chow mien is so good. They use thick noodles and they don't just load it up with cabbage. The flavor of the noodles is amazing.The orange chicken is good too. I noticed it's dark meat instead of white meat. But that iconic flavor was still there. They have the best orange chicken ever. It's the sauce. I love this chicken because they put lots of sauce on top.The BBQ Pork is a staple here. It's strips of pork with a little fat and crispy edges. To my surprise I thought it would be dry like it was in the past, but not today, it was very moist and delicious. I notice the keep a dome cover over it. This makes a HUGE difference keeping the pork moist.All my years coming here, I never tried anything else. The Chow mien, Orange chicken, and BBQ Pork is the only thing you should be eating.I love this place. The food is that good. The portions are really good. 5 stars.

2 item combo for $10? Holy yes.Food quality - better than panda Express. Portion - 2c more than Panda Express The food itself is not wow but it satisfies the stomach. I was fortunate enough to wait around to order the fresh Kung Pao chicken which was very good and mushroom chicken. Will likely try the orange chicken and shrimp in the future but definitely a repeat customer here. Support local business!

Food was good but the containers they used were not good,all containers were open and the food was all over inside the bag, I'm sure the driver had some to with that as well, but getting better containers for delivery should be used.Food was very good and I would recommend very much to try if you haven't

The customer service at this place was the first thing I noticed upon coming in :) Very welcoming lady in the front. I asked for a party tray of chow mein and instead of serving me the chow mein that was out in front, the lady yelled my order to the kitchen to cook it fresh I wanted vegetable chow mein and I noticed the chow mein didn't have any vegetables so I asked if I could add some. She was able to add squash, broccoli and even suggested mushrooms after we had confirmed already :) so nice. And the serving size portion was HUGE for a small tray. Smells delicious, will follow up with a taste review :)

I am craving fir orange chicken, found this place. Look at this!!First time in this place!!! Serving such gigantic portion!!!! TheGood for 2-3 people at least! And it's good! Unlike panda express! I paid $24 something with one order or fried cheese wonton!!!Server is really nice and attentive. I will back to this place!If you guys haven't tried, must come and try.

Tried this place for the first time today. Ordered the 2 item combo. Portions are pretty generous. They make their chow mein with the thick noodles, flavored very well, I liked the noodles the most. Jalapeno chicken was good, some pieces were kind of tough, other than that, tasted good, most of the pieces were nice and tender. The cashew shrimp was alright, not crispy, I could taste the iodine while I ate the shrimp, not my favorite. I also ordered a side of chicken wings and fried cream cheese wontons. The chicken wings had good flavor but a bit on the salty side for me, portion size was 4 pieces (2 drumsticks & 2 wings), nice and meaty. I could have done without the wontons, tasted stale, didn't finish it. I would comeback and try the other entrees to find my favs.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that they hired a new girl. She's not Asian but she's such a breath of fresh air. She is always smiling and so pleasant to be around. I'm so glad that she's there because people will want to come back again and again. Food is still good and price is super affordable. If you don't know what you want for dinner, come here. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!

I've been coming here for over 30 years - next to my high school growing up and still live nearby it. They used to be really good when I was a kid then they got a new owner I think 10+ years ago and their food quality went way down and they also sold sushi poké for a while. I'm not sure if the owner changed again or turned it around but I started going here again last year and they're just as good as they used to be ! Delicious chow mein best I've ever had and their orange chicken is so yummy. They even have mayo shrimp now which was good too. I go here at least once or twice a month. Fast and friendly employees.

This was an ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE place. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! I ordered a large order one week in advance to be sure of it being ready. I couldn't believe it upon arriving to pick up my order, They started cooking it when I got there. One of the dishes was supposed to be Mongolian beef and it was fried onions with less than 20 pieces of sliced beef no larger than a quarter. The food was 45 minutes late getting out of the kitchen. My luncheon was ruined as I had a limited time to feed 30 people... There was no food for me to serve before my guests left. The food was made in such a rush that it was nasty.When I tried to talk to the owner she suddenly didn't know English, that she spoke perfectly fine when she was taking my order and money.I am very disappointed in this place! Never again,

This review is specifically for the BBQ pork. The pork was perfectly charred and the flavor was so amazing. The best part is that the pork was actual meat and not cuts of fat. I will definitely be back for this again. I'll remember to take a picture next time.
