For quick Chinese take out, this place doesn't disappoint. A little greasy but good. They have been open for a while now and they stay consistent on food quality and the menu. Surprised this doesn't have more stars

My family and I were craving some Chinese fast food after a long day of travel. I didn't feel like cooking that evening, so we decided to place an order at this restaurant for pick up. I had placed the order about one hour before arrival, and informed the restaurant when we would be arriving to pick up our food. When we arrived, the food was not ready (which was a bit maddening).I understand that sometimes restaurants are understaffed, but they had plenty of time to get everything prepared before the promised pick up time. & if you were wondering, The food was NOT worth the wait. it was overcooked, burnt to a crisp, and completely inedible. I would not feed this food to my dog. Anyhow, Almost everything we ordered had to be thrown in the rubbish bin. The sight of the food completely disgusted me.I will not be ordering from this establishment again. Panda express would be a better option to satisfy Chinese fast food cravings. At least I know I'd be paying for edible food instead of wasting a bunch of time and money on food that would end up in the garbage.

Ordered via Door Dash. Arrived well packaged, hot and accurate.They didn't skimp on quality ingredients! Chicken fried rice had large pieces of high grade chicken. The house special pepper beef steak had awesome tender filet mignon and lots of fresh peppers and onions. Egg rolls didn't disappoint either.

Okay food and questionable cleanliness..What I disliked about my experience: while waiting for my food, I see the one chef step away from cooking to blow his nose and go right back to cooking without handwashing or sanitizing. A few minutes later I see another worker peeling vegetables on a table next to me with no cutting board or mat being used - he just poured the veggies directly onto the table and is peeling them into a delivery bag with no gloves. I don't expect these A1 cleanliness from these types of places, but as a customer these actions are pretty gross. This place is really just a ghost kitchen and tailored more for delivery/takeout. Food was just okay - kung pal chicken was good, fried rice and chow mein were meh. Never coming back here again

China West Express is a little hole in the wall place that just might be your best bet for Americanized Chinese food in Tustin. Although they do have a few tables inside, it is primarily a to go place. I've yet to see anyone eating inside. The to go orders are very well packed up, so much so the food will still be hot when you get it home. The place is a 15 minute drive for me. The folks who run the counter have always been very friendly and polite.The entrees are cooked to order, which is far superior to a nearby competitor's practice of serving food out of chaffing dishes. Expect about 10 minutes for your order to come out, but it could be a little longer if they are busy. No biggie. Their generously portioned Lunch Box deal is a great value. For $10.99 you get your choice of entree, your choice of chow mein or white rice, your choice of egg flower or hot and sour soup, your choice of a canned soft drink, an egg roll, and a fortune cookie. The food is good, but I don't care for their chow mein, so I go with steamed white rice. It's a good place and one of the gems of Tustin. My pics are better if you click on them.

Please never go here and waste your money. We went here tonight. Use the coupon in the book we get in our mail got the family meal the Mongolian beef tea roadkill the orange chicken tasted awful and my rice was undercooked. The beef tasted so bad that I hope I'm not gonna get sick or my rest of my family members, but I had to suck on the lifesaver peppermint to get the nasty flavor out of my mouth please and then you guys go here. I just called right now to try to get her money back and the guy won't budge so please don't waste your money going here. It's a waste of money, especially in this economy struggling.

I loved this place but after it caught fire it was never the same. Staff says it takes 10 minutes but it will be 20+ minutes usually so I end up wasting time on my lunch. Quality of the food is the same which it is delicious. Staff needs to be retrained. Especially front of house. Sadly the food is 5/5 but wasting my entire lunch break waiting on food that should be ready ruins the score for me.

I love supporting small businesses but I was so disappointed by this one :(First of all the bald manager and the evening cashier (I think he's supervisor) were so rude when I tried getting clarification on an order / meal. For no reason either :( I thought ok no worries they're probably stressed with the small business, I totally understand. When I got my order I said thank you have a great day, nothing treated me like they were doing me a favor by giving me the food I paid for and tipped for.... Like really? I would rather go to panda in that case. Also, remember how I wanted clarification on an order? When I got home, it was wrong My fiancé is allergic to onions I just wanted to make sure what i got didn't have any and instead I got a wonderful customer service experience and still cooked at home oh well I guess that's what I get for trying to be nice and support small hole in the walls that don't appreciate me or my business.

WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD WITH TAKE OUT! I wouldnt have even given this restaurant a star but yelp made me in order to post this. I normally don't write reviews because I can get over a lot of things fairly quickly, but China West Express is an establishment you should AVOID. Today I placed an online order with China West Express along with a friend who also ordered separately. From the website I placed an order from a 3rd party site that it directed me to for noodles and soup. Order was placed at 12:21pm with a pick up time of 12:41pm. I arrived around 12:40pm, I entered the restaurant and immediately realized the customer service was poor as the workers didn't acknowledge me or my friend upon entering, I had to say hello first. I tell the man I'm picking up two orders for my friend and I. I give names, he checks, he only has my friends order. He tells me there is no order for me, and doesn't bother to check with any other employees to confirm. I look at my confirmation to make sure and he proceeds to tell me he does not have an order under my name. I leave the restaurant in confusion. Around 2pm I receive a call saying my order is ready for pick up and had been waiting for over an hour. I left the restaurant at 12:45pm, they called me 2:05pm, the order had been sitting for more than an hour until the decided to give me a call. I was not going to drive back to pick up cold, stale food. Especially after they sent me away telling me they didn't receive my order?? Hell no! I called back after work around 5pm and requested a refund for the order they told me they didn't receive and that I never received at the time I was supposed to pick up. The owner denied my refund and blamed me for not coming back to pick up my order. He argued with me over the phone until I decided this guy is a piece of shit and ended the phone call. I honestly can't believe any establishment, let alone the owner would treat their guest this way. Think twice about eating here, if this is the quality of customer service they provide, I could just imagine the what quality of food is like. As for my refund, I'll let AMEX handle it. Try Hong Kong Express down the street if you want great customer service and food.

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY FROM THIS PLACE! They tell you the food will come at a certain time and it doesn't. The person on the phone does not know who is driving your food to you and it takes her 17 minutes to figure it out. They rely on a 3rd party for delivery so you are better off using the 3rd party yourself. It has currently been 1 hour and 27 minutes since we ordered, and 28 minutes past the time they quoted for the delivery, on a Monday afternoon. They offered me a free soda for my inconvenience.
