I walked past this place and had a hankering for Chinese food so I decided to stop by. The prices are pretty reasonable as we got a 3 item combo plate for $13.38! However, I would bring cash next time as I think the cash price was around $11 but I paid with credit card so it was more expensive. I got sweet and sour pork, orange chicken, and honey walnut shrimp on top of pork chow mein. I really enjoyed all three meats as they were super flavorful and weren't oily and greasy like most Chinese places are. They weren't overloaded with MSG either and the meat actually tasted fresh. The chow mein was a bit on the oilier side though and I only ate half of it. It was okay; not my favorite. However, I would definitely come back as the portions were on the larger side and the food was pretty clean! read more

Asia Express - 3 Item Combo Plate - Chinese Near Me - Union City, California

I came here for at least 5 years but then became too busy to continue. BOY, has it changed! Used to have delicious food, tender chicken @ delicious sauces. BUT NOW they overly-spice everything...even dishes that shouldn't be spicy, like chow mein. The Asian Chicken wasn't nearly as good as it used to be...now it's dry pieces of spicy chicken (with tons of garlic). Chef must be different, and clearly prefers Szechuan & thinks we do too. Won't be coming back. read more

Food was ehhhh. $9 for chowmein with one entree. Chowmein so dry . I rather go somewhere else . First and last

Don't get this place mixed up w the one in Newark. Always remember you get what you pay for. Chicken corn soup, pork fried rice could've come out of a box. Don't normally come out for a fast pick up to then have to reheat pork fried rice. This was my first time here, so may have been due to the holiday. I will say their wonton soup was really really good. read more

Used to be my go to spot for cheap/filling food back in high school. Happened to be driving thru town and needed a quick bite. Solid options. Was a little too hungry to grab any flicks. It is what you're thinking. Fairly priced quick Chinese food. read more

Have been comjng here for awhile and the food is hit or miss. Price had been good for the quality of food you get but this time I ordered the same thing, wor wonton soup and a large box entree sweet and sour pork and they charged me extra two dollars this time! Kinda surprised since they never raised their prices so far - and it appears the prices have not gone up according to the menu. I think there is one lady there who may charge more I am sensing and I don't like that! May not go back but may try and again and see if the price fluctuates. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! There are SO many other, better places to go than here. Food is not special. Chicken is usually dry. Staff was rude. And they will charge extra for ANYTHING. I asked for a packet of soy sauce to go with my full meal and she said $0.25 each. FOR A SINGLE PACKET. Save your time and money and just go somewhere else. read more

Came here with my partner walking by and ordered the small family meal! Didn't have high hopes and wanted to try something new. Was very disappointed by the quality of each item we ordered: chicken fried rice (no chicken, tasted like cardboard), chicken chow mein (again no chicken and again tasted like cardboard), pepper chicken (too much celery and not very flavorful), and the peking chicken (which had decent taste but way too much batter and way too little chicken). I was trying not to judge a book by its cover, but ... yeah. This place just needs to upgrade the quality of food they're putting out! Happy eating, yall! read more

I was craving some quick Chinese food and this was located within walking distance from where I was. I did scan the menu prior to coming, so I had an idea of what combo I wanted going in during my lunch break. The ladies who helped me wore masks and gloves and there was social distancing encouragement. There was a plethora of items to choose from, such as honey walnut shrimp, eggplant tofu, and orange chicken. I ordered the Asia Express combo, which included the veggie egg roll, fried rice, chow mein, and one entree choice. I opted for Brocolli Beef. Overall, it was alright. The combo cost me $9.09 and filled me up. The fried rice and chow mein were just typical of what I expect. The egg roll did need sweet and sour sauce or something to go along with it. The brocolli beef tasted also what I expected. Overall, i would consider coming back again. read more

One star per YELP rules! 2nd star for sweet cashier! Mediocre at best. What was I thinking? get Gpa something to eat for lunch... I was in this shopping center and thought how bad can a lunch plate be? He took one bite and wouldn't eat it YIKES! Guess you get what you pay for... place was clean, So there's that. read more

I came to get egg rolls. As I walked in,the lady was scratching her hair. She asked, "Can I help you?"" I asked if she had any egg rolls. She did and attempted to get them. I asked her if she was going to wash her hands. She refused. NEVER WILL RETURN. BE SAFE DONT DO IT!!!! read more

This place went downhill. Walked in to order a family meal and regretted it. The food looked so sad. I've had good experience in the past and didn't expect to see such changes. They don't have any veggie options for rice or noodles -- it's either pork or chicken and that sucks for people who don't consume those. I ordered honey walnut prawns, eggplant tofu and orange chicken family style. Everything seemed liked it was sitting out for a long time and definitely was not fresh. I had to heat everything up before serving it even though I live less than 5 minutes away from this place. Will go to Panda or order from a reputable restaurant next time. read more

Asia Express - Chinese Near Me - Union City, California

I've lived around this area for quite sometime and I never was really interested in checking it out. Maybe the location? I'm not sure. Quick chinese food. When I came in there's not much items on the table so I was limited to what to order. Maybe the pandemic got them to put less items to choose from? The food is okay. It's not bad for a quick in and out trip to satisfy your Chinese food fix. read more

Food is ok, but portions are bad. I've been here a few times and it's been ok, but today I didn't want one of their bigger combos, so I got the lunch special which is steamed rice with 1 item. They piled on the steamed rice which was ok, but when I asked for bbq chicken they chopped up one and it wasn't a lot compared to the amount of rice they gave. read more

Asia Express - Lunch special. A lot of steamed rice and very little item (bbq chicken) - Chinese Near Me - Union City, California

Dishes we ordered (egg rolls, fried rice, chowmein, chicken teriyaki, Broccoli beef, walnut prawns and hot & sour soup) tasted old, meat was dry, soup was too runny. Egg rolls tasted like they were cooked in old oil. read more

I've been coming here for years... and by years, I literally mean since I was 10 or 11, so about 15 years. This time is the MOST disappointed I have ever been. They changed their plates so the portions are way smaller and this amount of sweet and sour sauce for my order of egg rolls is literally sad af. read more

Asia Express - A sad ass amount of sauce - Chinese Near Me - Union City, California

Somthing is wrong with y'all's taste buds this is hella good especially the orange chicken and noodles

Food is good (not the best but good) customer service sucks. I came three times and had the same experience

It's been a long time since I've been to a Chinese restaurant like this. You know, the kind when you walk in you can just tell that there's MSG in the food. Silly me. I still took my chances. I ordered a few items to get a fair representation of their food. This is the type of restaurant that has all the food prepared under heat lamps for you to view. I ordered a plate with Chow Mein, Kung Pao Chicken and Spareribs. As an appetizer, I ordered chicken potstickers and a small wonton soup. The wonton soup order was placed in the back with the chef. The chow mein and potstickers actually tasted nasty. The kung pao chicken and spareribs just didn't taste good and even had a horrible after taste. The best item was the wontons. Perhaps that's because they don't sit out under the lamps. Here's What I Think...I won't ever come back here unless it is "Under New Management". read more

Asia Express - Already Prepared Style - Chinese Near Me - Union City, California

They are always busy. It's a very good idea to call ahead so the bens that hold your favorite delight (honey walnut prawns, broccoli beef, etc) are not empty when you arrive. Prices are very reasonable and the quantities are more than adequate. read more

I saw this place after spending a couple hours studying nearby. I saw that it was pretty busy so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the small family combo because it was priced well for what is in it. The ordering process was straightforward and there is seating at the restaurant. The reason I gave it 2 stars is because simple the food sucks. It's really cheaply made food. Chicken Chowmein is noodles and some cabbage. Maybe a piece or two of chicken. Same thing with the chicken fried rice. Peking Chicken was okay and the black pepper chicken is fine but loads of celery. There's just better places to eat and spend your money. I'm not considering ambiance in this rating. Just the food. read more

This is the second time I have come here to have they have served portions other than what is shown. The lunch special always came in a long takeout box which is what is shown in the picture. Now they are placing the lunch special in a box half the size of the one pictured. Also with shrimp dishes they claim to sell by the piece put they also count an empty piece of batter as a whole "shrimp." Won't be coming here anymore because of their lack of transparency. read more

Nasty food and they will refused to give ur money back do no go here trust me ur way better off no eating

This has been one of my family's go to takeout restaurants since the early 90's they always keep up with the up keep as the restaurant seating area always gets a little facelift every now and then. I usually get the wor wonton noodle soup. We usually get the pork fried rice or pork chow mein. The honey walnut prawns used to be a special order dish but now it's on the hot plates but if you get a 2 or 3 item it's $1 extra for that entree. I used to love coming for the fried wonton and the sweet and sour sauce. I used to get 2 sweet and sour sauces for free, but now they charge 50 cents each. The 50 cent containers a filled to the brim but the free one that comes with your fried wonton is a measly teaspoon's worth. It's enough to take off a star, but I love this place and want to see it for another 30 years. read more

WARNING... DO NOT EAT AT THIS PLACE!!!! If I could give it a 0 star, I would. My friend and I ordered sweet and sour pork from this place and when we got home she took a bite into the pork and realized how RAW it was inside. I added a picture of their disgusting pork. (Most importantly my friend is currently pregnant and could of got really sick from this). We will be contacting the health department first thing in the morning. read more

Asia Express - THIS IS THEIR SWEET AND SOUR PORK. DO NOT EAT HERE - Chinese Near Me - Union City, California

This is our first time coming to Asia Express and it turned out to be pretty good! Fortunately, we did not read the Yelp reviews prior to coming, or we would not have come and would have missed out on a pretty decent meal! - The food was very hot and pretty flavorful. - The staff was very nice and service was fast and efficient. - The place was very clean, the tables were wiped down, and the floor was swept and mopped. - We got a 3 item plate for $6.89 and an Asia Express plate for $7.19. We also ordered 4 egg rolls and a bottle of soda. Our entire bill was just over $20. - BONUS! - While we were sitting at our table, the staff came to give us a free order of potstickers. - While we were eating, many people came in to pick up their takeout. This place is very busy, although the dining area was pretty empty during our meal. We had no issues at all with this Asia Express location. We will come back again to re-review to see if the food and service is consistent. All in all, a good experience! read more

I'm not happy about making this review but I think it's important that the restaurant take this feedback serious. I don't eat here often but my family does. And this is the second time I have found something in the food. The first time was a long hair and now a sharp piece of plastic. I will not return but I think the restaurant should consider putting more safety protocols in place and ensure that all employees have their hair pulled back and in hair nets at all times. read more

Asia Express - Sharp plastic found in two item. - Chinese Near Me - Union City, California

This place has been around ever since I can remember. The food is eh but good enough for a quick fix. I've never had an issue with it until recently and it's because of their rude staff. The last time I was there I was being helped by a woman with major attitude and each time I asked for something she was acting like I was asking for the impossible. I finally said she didn't have to be so rude and her response was "I'm new". Last I checked you don't need experience to be cordial. That experience kept me away for a while. Went back today and same rude experience. First I noticed how rude she was to the older gentleman in front of me who was using a walker. She then gave me attitude and asked me to get closer to pay but the man in front of me was still trying to grab his stuff and walk off. No one else was in there so not sure what her rush was. Finally my turn and and I'm received with the biggest attitude and she throws my card back and receipt to sign. I hand her the receipt back and nicely ask if I could please get napkins and once again she throws them at me. At that point I do say something and remind her that there's no need for her rudeness. She responds with an "ok". Management needs to get it together and better train their staff. How do they expect to attract business when everyone that walks in is welcomed with that attitude. Sounds like this is an end of an era for me. Won't be missing them. read more

I bought some food here on Friday. I noticed earlier that it's nicer inside now. There are new tables and chairs (the seating capacity is 40), and they're arranged very well. There are also some new employees now. They're friendly and pretty quick. There are 2 coupons on every take home menu (you have to spend $20 or more, but, depending on what you choose, you receive about $2 worth of food or more for free). Some Prices (all prices include tax): Small: $3.27 for Fried Rice or Chow Mein (BBQ Pork; Chicken); $4.69 for most Entrées (ex: Sweet & Sour Pork; Mushroom Chicken; Garlic Chicken Wings; Spicy Chicken; Almond Chicken). 3-item Plate: $5.89 (the Fried Rice or Chow Mein you get counts as an item). BBQ Pork Fried Rice: 8.25/10. I received a very good portion (I shared some with my wife). It wasn't the best it's ever been (it was probably sitting around a little), but there were no real issues. Spareribs (also known as Spareribs in Black Bean Sauce): 8.5/10. I was craving the ribs, and they did not disappoint. My ribs were meaty, juicy, and delicious. I was asked if I wanted some "sauce" applied (this is new). I said yes, but still asked for a soy sauce packet (a bottle used to be kept in the serving tray on the counter). Once I got one, the 2 women lightly started barking at each other in Chinese. I'm probably wrong (I mean, it is possible), but I think this is what they said: "You idiot! He shouldn't have had to ask! A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, he had a Review of the Day after reviewing this place. We have no hope of being showcased again if he lowers the rating." "Shut up! Look at his face! It makes me want to barf on the chow mein. How can anyone take his reviews seriously?" BBQ Pork: 9/10. As usual, I was pleased. My pieces were very tasty and meaty (my wife was happy with the ones I gave her too). When it comes to Chinese food, this is the one place my wife and I go to above all others. read more

I come here maybe 2 times a week. Not many option to walk n get while on break. But they are ALWAYS RUDE! As far as food it's mediocre. I've had jus about every item on the menu. Most of it is dry. I'll b making my lunch from now on. read more

Every now and then, I make poor decisions in my life. It happened again. I purchased food from a place I shouldn't have. That place was called Asia Express. Having been in the Union City area meeting clients all day, I took a quick lunch break to pick up something convenient. I ended up in the shopping plaza by Safeway and thought Asia Express could be a decent choice. Huge mistake! Walking into the Chinese deli, I noticed the place was bare bones 100%. A few old tables and chairs surrounded with white walls. Slightly dingy but I wasn't planning on staying so went for the take out. I eyed the heated trays of food behind the counter and nothing in particular looked to good. Ended up going with a lunch special for rice and one item. Thought chili shrimp and green beans was the best choice out of the greasy selections. Had to take a phone call while the lady was packing my food. Paid and left. When I actually opened my take out container there were only 3 shrimp in the whole container! The lady was so sneaky and also buried a bunch of yellowed, wilted, nasty looking green beans under some fresh ones. Boy, did she rip me off! What a dishonest business. I was pretty upset but then when I actually started eating the shrimp they were mushy and gross. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise that she skimped. Best part of the purchase was the white rice. Sad face. Conclusion - Never food at Asia Express in Union CIty! No matter how cheap or convenient it is to go there, it's not worth it! read more

It's a good fast-food place with lots of options to choose from. I loved their Orange Chicken and Kung Pao chicken the most!

I feel bad everytime I have to give a 1 star review. But, every time I've gone to this place, while the food is ok, I always end up getting sick. I go back hoping it was just "that one time" but nope, hours later I get sick. Needless to say, I've given up and haven't been back, or plan to be back. :sigh: read more

I found this place on yelp and decided to try it out as I was in the mood for some Chinese food something quick and good and their reviews looked good some of the pictures looked OK so I thought I'd give it a try. Well it was OK walked in half of their food was gone or they did not have any and or wasn't going to make anything else so that limited my selection of what I ended up getting. The ladies were nice who worked there I ended up getting a four item combo ( rice , sweet and sour chicken, beef broccoli and a few chicken wings ) Overall I give it a 5/10. I want to give it a five out of 10 because the beef inside of the broccoli was so bland so was the rice ,The sweet-and-sour chicken wasn't bad but it was more breaded then chicken in it so that would've been nice to have a little bit more meat but that was OK. The actual chicken wings were pretty good it had a nice crunch was warmer than most items I'm not sure what flavor they were really going for with the chicken butt it was good . I also ordered two egg rolls that were so cold I would think that they were sitting there for a few days so that kinda of sucked but overall it was ok , I would definitely maybe give it a try again in the earlier day although I went around 2pm maybe they will have more items and more fresh items. I was also very excited to a fortune cookie and they didn't give me any read more

Asia Express - chicken, rice, broccoli, and tomatoes in a styrofoam container - Chinese Near Me - Union City, California

The only good thing here is the barbecue pork. Everything else is terrible. I was going to say the little spicy chicken wings aren't so bad, but since they're cut up so small, you might choke on a chicken bone. There is also one woman who works here that is very rude and disrespectful. She speaks in Mandarin and will complain about customers. She shouldn't even work with the public. read more

Lifelong (20+ years!!) favorite place to eat at and ai am so thankful they have not closed down! No matter where we have loved in the Bay Area, we always try to eat here when we are near. Right now, we are craving the fresh, tasty and plentiful food but it's a bit of a drive. :( The least I can do is write a great review of this deserving gem and look forward to the next time I make my next visit! Much love!! read more

Very skimpy on food servings and it doesn't look very fresh. Wouldn't recommend this place.
