Chinatown Express 23: Reviews & Ratings
Best food in la it's so tasty and I just love it it's great and I recommend to everyone
Very generous portions, and the food was pretty good. I ordered online for takeout and it took about 20 minutes to pick up in store. Solid choice.
This Chicken and shrimp wonton soup is immaculate. It full of veggies and so flavorful and the portion size is great and it was completely filled to the top. 10/10
food is solid for chinese fast food. i've gone quite a few times over the last year. the service is always great from my experience.
Place is so clean and the vibe is chill! Portion size is amazing! Food tastes pretty good - to me it's better than Panda! So much food for $11. The great deal makes my genetics and ancestors happy. Service is fast and friendly! This restaurant is getting me through my Master's at USC! Craving Chinese fast food? Give this place a chance.
Pretty decent Chinese fast food. The dish ordering process is similar to Panda Express where you get a choice of rice or chow mein and a few choices of entrees depending on which combo you choose. The ladies at the front of the store are very nice, so if you're confused about the menu, they'll happily assist you! I chose combo A which is fried rice, chow mein, and the choice of one entree. The vegetable tofu stir fry was my entree and it was pretty good. A very flavorful vegetarian option. The chow mein was pretty good as well; I liked that they used thick fried noodles. The fried rice wasn't too good. The texture of the rice was pretty hard and it tasted like school cafeteria rice. Besides the rice, it was really decent Chinese fast food. In conclusion, this place isn't rock your world, authentic Chinese food, but if you're looking for a decent, cheap meal, this spot is for you!
I have been coming to get Chinese food here since 2014. The food here isn't anything fancy or gourmet, it's a simple and cheap Chinese takeout spot. The rice and chow mein in comparison to other spots is way better here, trust me I eat a lot of Chinese takeout. The side items are amazing. I mix it up from time to time but the best two menu items I get here often are the red spicy wings and the potato chicken. The broccoli beef is also a solid choice. They have plenty of options for you to chose as far as drink go. The have sodas to teas. The price for a stacked plate with two side items and drink is under ten dollars. I'm not so sure why this spot doesn't get more love, every time I dine in the line forms up quick. The ladies behind the counter are friendly and very helpful. I hope they never shut down this spot in the future, I love it and want to keep coming back.
