I was looking for a quick lunch bite, so I figured any port in a storm, expecting a not great experience. But,...... I was pleasantly surprised. The place had plenty of simple, but clean seating indoors. They also seemed to do a good bit of both drive through and take away business. Placed my order at the counter (General Tso's chicken) and it was brought out to me pretty quickly. The food itself was piping hot, and was good, not great. It seemed heavily seasoned (slat, MSG?) which was a bit overpowering. It worked for me, but I don't think I'd seek out China City again. read more

All of the items we tried were delicious! Hot and sour soup for the win! This spot is definitely better suited for take out. We did eat there but it was a eat quick and leave. Service was good for a take out spot they definitely don't seem to be used to people eating in. Also, I don't recommend using the restrooms. read more

Everything was a great experience from the food in the service. I met the owner of this company at Home Depot and interacted prior to coming over for dinner pick up. read more

This is excellent Chinese food! The owner is incredibly nice. I ordered lunch for 7 people, a variety of everything. I have a personal way to rate Chinese takeout places I've used for many years, esp growing up in NY. If the BBQ ribs appetizer and Hot and Sour soup are legit, you can tell the Chinese food will be good or bad. Those are two items that a Chinese food restaurant will put love into if they are a quality restaurant. Both these items were fantastic.. Ribs outstanding. We ordered a little off everything and this place was fantastic and everyone mentioned how good it was!! I wish I could find decent quality like this in Miami and Ft Lauderdale, I'd order weekly. They have a friggin drive through window!!! How sweet is that? Highly recommend thier tasty quality food. I will be back next West coast trip. Yummy Chinese :) read more

My son and I went to China City Express for dinner and we were in for a treat. He had the Sesame Chicken and I had the Schezuan (sp?) steak and chicken. Both were absolutely delicious. Mine had the right amount of heat to it. The service was friendly, smiles on faces, cost reasonable, all in all excellent. You can dine in, carry out or drive thru. I will be back read more

Yeah best Chinese food in town. I'm from south Florida and it's hard to find good places here but this place is legit. read more

China City Express - New price - Chinese Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Our go to for Chinese food in Bradenton. Quick, fresh, delicious - try the pepper steak and spring rolls!

Go to Chinese place. Favorite dish is their general taos chicken, vegetable lo mein, beef and broccoli and eggs rolls!

Great egg rolls, spring rolls, hot and sour soup. We get the lo mein with spicy chili oil a lot. Chow mein is also good.

Just a meh for me here.Not much pork in the PFRice,Just rice really.No egg or the 8 pieces of carrot n peas even.

Went here for the first time today, ordered in the drive thru and they asked me to park, I waited 10 minutes for my order. I ordered sweet & sour chicken, thought you wouldn't be able to go wrong with that but they served huge nasty chunks of chicken & the sauce was was not normal it tasted like vinegar. I was so grossed out I didn't eat anything not even the rice. I won't be back & don't recommend. read more

China City Express - Sweet & sour chicken - Chinese Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

My favorite Chinese style food in Bradenton. We've been going here for over 12 years and the food has been great and nothing less every time we visit. The food is always fresh, hot and fast. Best sweet tea around. read more

Fantastic comfort Chinese food with great pricing. A large variety of options as well. We come here all the time!

Good comfort food. Orders were all ready within 20mins for pick up. Woman answering phone and behind counter was not friendly, but our order was quick and correct- that is what matters to us. Food the fourth time we ordered was quite a bit greasier than before, quality wasn't like previous times. We always only got pickup, always ordered the same things. Good portions- had enough for leftovers- the docking of the star was for consistency in quality. read more

Whoever claimed the egg rolls were good is a liar! I spit mine out after one bite. This was some of the all time worst Chinese I've had. Chicken over breaded. If I could rate this ZERO STARS I would. Steamed rice was my favorite read more

I order sweet and sour chicken they served huge chunks of chicken super burnt or fried in super old grease everything tasted awful I ended up feeding birds in the parking lot. I will never eat here again or recommend anyone to eat here either. read more

Only place I'll go in Bradenton for Chinese! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the staff is always super super kind. I came by today, the day after hurricane Ian, because like many others, I'm still without power. The restaurant was insanely busy and the staff was powering through it, pushing food out fast and being so sweet and patient even when customers had a million questions lol. Thank you guys for being open when most weren't! You'll always have a repeat customer in me! read more

Fast drive through! Only for cars you won'take the turns in the drive fyi only small comPact cars! Good quick service! Tasty flavorful food a thumbs up on my side! read more

I've been here a handful of times and decided to get an egg roll after seeing all the reviews raving about it... sadly, I was disappointed because my egg roll tasted freezer burned but if it wasn't I could tell it would be good. Maybe it was an off day for them but the price and everything else on their menu is great. read more

China City Express - Dinner special; Beef and broccoli with fried rice and pork with an egg roll - Chinese Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

nicest people ever! I love the egg rolls and I recommend the chicken with broccoli. Nothing is too oily, it's just perfect. Plus the workers there are so kind. read more

I was craving Chinese food something fierce and it seemed like all the Chinese places in town were shut down because of this virus. Called China City Express and to my delight they were open!! So I hopped in my car and drove over to get me some grub. They have a drive through!! I'm from Alaska. We are super lucky/spoiled up there and have numerous very very good chinese food places. All my friends in Florida say down here the chinese is crap. Well my friends you obviously never been to this place. I had sweet and sour chicken, crab rangoon and brocolli beef. Everything was super fresh (I had to wait in my car for 10-15 minutes while they cooked everything but it was more than worth it!!) Besides being fresh the beef and broccoli stood out. That sauce was life!! And I was highly impressed with the crab rangoon. I leave Florida here in a few days and best believe I will be hitting up that drive through again. Next time I'll try to remember to take pictures before stuffing my face!! P.S. The only wierd thing is they didnt have any Mongolian Beef or Chicken. Is that not a thing down here?? Whatever it's still amazing and you should stop looking and go eat there right now!! read more

The egg roll was good and the service was fast. However, my wife and I did not like anything else here. The chicken had a peace in it that should have been thrown out, in my general tso chicken. The dish my wife had (chicken and veggies) had very little flavor with hints of a strange floury/koolade taste. I am sorry, I will never go back to this place. I do not wish them any harm from this review, I am happy for the people that like this place, maybe I just went on a bad night, who knows. But it was bad enough that I felt I should let people know how our dinner went. read more

It's okay. It does beat most but it's still just okay. The crab Rangoon taste a little strange.

What a nice surprise! Just happened upon this restaurant after the boat parade. Huge portions of tasty food. I had General Tso's chicken and my husband had Kung Pao. Both were very good with leftovers for tomorrow. Very nice owners as well! read more

I have ordered food here several times before the pandemic I order for the first time this pass Thursday and the food was horrible! I ordered egg roll , sesame chicken just out right nasty food! I return the food and the manager was very offended that I brought the food back, I'm not sure if new owners or new cooks but food doesn't taste the same!!! read more

Great reliability consistent clean well prepared! Highly recommend this restaurant from Skyway to Parrish to Downtown SRQ it worth the ride!

Ordered beef fried rice, chicken teriyaki skewers, and fortune cookies. Awhile back. Beef fried rice was just fried rice... not even really any veggies and NO beef. Chicken skewers were old over cooked and dry, and the fortune cookies were stale and like rubber. I called and spoke with a lady Mgr and explained I was about 20 miles away so she gave me a credit. Cool. I went to honor that credit today, they found my name and number and said ok. I pull around and wait for them to bring it out.. (covid).. and some manager guy comes out with my food and starts lecturing me about store policy. UMMM... OK??? So I tell him they need to do better quality control and pay attention to orders... took my food and left. Got home and WTF! Order is part messed up the other part bad... i called and the little jackoff that lectured me decided to scream at me over the phone and hang up on me. NEVER AGAIN WILL I PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT.. NO MORE MONEY FROM ME. COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL. read more

Food is very mediocre at best. I ordered shrimp and broccoli with stemmed rice. Sauce was slimy and goey. I received one ounce of rice on the side. Egg rolls taste kinda weird with unknown meat inside. Probably wouldn't return. read more

I am beyond disappointed. Unless the owner is cooking, I will not be returning to this establishment. Maybe they got too rich for their britches. But now, the food looks and tasted like crap. It tastes like Mexican Chinese food. I like Mexican. I like Chinese. Do not combine. Maybe they were breaking in new cooks. Until the new cooks know how to cook like the owner, I will NEVER return. Lost $46 in this place on Friday with this new cook bad food crap. read more

I love this place. The egg rolls are so of the best I ever had. I usual order the chicken wings and the house fried rice and I enjoy it every time. read more

I was one of the first people to eat here when this restaurant opened and I keep going back. Best egg rolls I ever had. Everything is very fresh and just made. Store is run by a nice family and even their children are polite and intelligent. Best Chinese fast food in Bradenton by far! read more

Yum! Great, cheap Chinese food fast. The people are nice, and we have liked everything we have tried. Their egg rolls are kind of different but I really like them. All in all this is our go to take out Chinese place in Bradenton. read more

Best Chinese food in town. Great sweet and sour as well as sesame chicken and pretty good bourbon chicken as well. Take out has been excellent, with the food still piping hot and full of flavor. Better than the others! You will not be disappointed. read more

After reading the good reviews here, my wife and I decided to eat lunch at China City Express today following my appointments at the Bradenton VA clinic about four miles away. I have to echo the previous comments; clean restaurant, tasty food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. I also agree that the General Tso's Chicken was excellent! We definitely will eat here again when I have to make the seventy-mile trip over to the clinic. read more

We were surprised at how much we liked this place! Don't let the scurvy exterior fool you... Great food and service. Huge portions (my large veggie lo mien has lasted 4 servings) for reasonable prices. Loved the little boy taking our order too... Adorable! Would have been 5 stars but it was take out and they forgot my side of rice :( boo! We live nearby and we will definitely be back read more
