This place was okay. We ordered a variety of dishes for delivery when our regular place was closed and nothing was horrible but not much was amazing. My favorite was the scallion pancake, which is hard to find in this area. It had other vegetables in it too, but it was overall pretty tasty. The other dishes- crab Rangoon, shrimp egg roll, shrimp lo mein, sesame chicken- were pretty forgettable. The almond cookies were decent, though. Maybe worth a try if you're looking for some comfort American Chinese food, but it definitely won't be replacing our regular go-to. read more

Normally this is my go to when I order Chinese. Food is decent but always cold and the delivery drivers rude. Last night will be the last time I order. The shrimp lo mein had dead bugs in it. I would not notice if I didn't take it out container to warm up. ​ read more

This is my go to place for Chinese food in this area, plenty of vegetarian options @ decent prices. My food has always been fresh and flavorful. read more

A total surprise of a place. There are a lot of take out places near here and all of them look nicer from the outside but none have as good food as this place. On line ordering is fast and easy, and the food is far better than you should expect. Had the hot and sour soup, a set of chicken skewers, a spicy chicken dish, and the lovely had a noodle dish. All were solid. I asked for extra spicy soup and unlike many other places they actually turned up the heat. The only bummer was the scallion pancakes which were under cooked. Much like Baltimore, there is more to poke here than you might expect. read more

I hate to leave this bad review but my $9.65 lunch was a disgrace. It makes me wonder whether they have a new chef because I've been going here for 8 years and food is always excellent. This time it missed the mark. Today I ordered sesame shrimp and fried rice. The container had 4 massive globs of overly battered baby shrimp and 4 small broccoli pieces swimming in the thick gooey overly sweetened sauce. The rice was chewy and undercooked and rather bland. It was totally disappointing. I threw the meal away after a few bites. read more

The food was good I just have one gripe when are you guys going to get cups and straws for your customers because putting ice tea or half-and-half in a container like this is ridiculous read more

China Express - Really? Let me explain I asked for a half and half this is what they put the half and half in I'm not sure if its changed now though. - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The food is always good. The delivery is fast and professional. The restaurant is small but the people are friendly.

i love this place the food great i can always find something to enjoy and my orders are always on time and sometime early. the prices are good for a low income person like me trying to save money and treat myself read more

For 10 entire months I did not order any chinese food in Baltimore because I could not find a spot and everything seemed to have 3 stars or lower on yelp which made me want to stay away. I'm used to eating chinese food in nyc, philly, princeton so my expectations are medium to high and I was just so unsure. But today my urge for American Chinese food grew too strong and I caved. Boy am I glad I did! I LOVE chinese food and this place is the perfect takeout spot and realllllly good veggie options! I wanted to find a chinese takeout in Baltimore and this will be my go to. It was tasty, flavorful, spicy in a good way, quick and delicious! I ordered hot and sour soup, veggie lo mein and Kung pao tofu. They made everything vegetarian and even added extra sauce to my tofu dish per my request. For $18 including the UBEREATS fee, i got all of this and have enough for 3 entire meals!! What a bargain. I'm so impressed and happy. Really confused about the negative reviews and I'm glad I decided to just take the chance and order even though I was extremely apprehensive. I always leave a review only if a place is really good or really terrible and this definitely falls into the first category. Last note - I called the restaurant with some questions and the lady was super patient and helpful. Made my vegetarian heart happy and grateful! read more

This is my first time ordering from this carry-out. The employee that took my order was great fast, friendly and answered all my questions patiently. I received my order(Qt. Bean Curd Szechuan Style with White Rice, Qt. Shrimp Fried Rice and two Shrimp Egg Rolls) exactly the way I ordered it, with no mistakes. It came to around $18. The delivery driver was nice and and the meal came on time and was the perfect temperature. The price for what I ordered was very affordable. Not only did I share with dear hubby, but It lasted for two days and was still very tasty. I also love that they have a great choice of foods to fit my vegetarian/pescetarian(seafood only) lifestyle. I will definitely order from here again. read more

I cannot believe the rating for China Express is so low. Perhaps reviewers before me forgot this is a freaking Chinese food carryout joint. When this place stacks up against the other Chinese carryouts, China Express stands out among the pack. I have done both delivery and carryout (mostly carryout) many times, and besides the one time they forgot my free egg rolls (which you get by mentioning the offer when you order over the phone after sending at least $20), they have got my orders correctly each time and packed well. One minor complaint is they never give you napkin, but a variety of sauce packets, plastic utensils, and fortune cookies. Food is great for a cheap Chinese carryout. Items such as the scallion pancakes, egg rolls, shrimp egg rolls (in which there are 2 pieces of actual shrimp!), pizza egg rolls (cheese and marinara sauce inside an egg roll shell), boneless pork, and crab wontons are hidden gems and absolutely delicious. Their pork fried rice and lo mein have the marinated red boneless pork in them, while the chicken variety contain strips of white chicken meat. Highly recommend this place, especially if you are visiting Union Memorial Hospital and/or Johns Hopkins Homewood Campus! read more

What a pleasant surprise!! So I ordered here because it's to cold outside and I really wanted some sesame chicken. Soooo I picked this place with no real expectations... And bomb-pow-SURPRISE!! The Sesame chicken rocked! It was crispy and the sauce was sweet. I got vegetable fried rice instead or pork and they had the little baby corn!! Lol awesome. Real veggies! And I also got an order of chicken on a stick and an Ice tea. The chicken on a stick was tender and juicy. And the tea rated great! My food arrived Hot and now I'm full and happy!! :). Oh and I got an order of the baby shrimp. They were very crispy but not in a bad way. read more

I ordered steamed pork dumplings and house lo main and both were hot and tasty, better then average for Chinese food in Baltimore. The driver was very pleasant and came right to the front desk of my condo as requested. read more

my fave Chinese place i've found in the city! i love the gluten chicken dishes off the "monks special menu"

Hell yes! This a good, solid, inexpensive, little-hole-in-the-wall Chinese takeout place. Girl who took my order couldn't be more polite, helpful or friendly. Thank you! Food was very fresh, simply prepared, NOT salty and NOT oily/saucy. Egg rolls were exactly as they should be, as good as any of my go-to restaurants up in NJ. Steamed vegetable dumplings tasted like they were made today with vegetables that were delivered today. Roast pork and string beans, chicken with broccoli; all bright, crisp, clean and pleasing. Will definitely be back here the next time that 'I don't know what I should eat tonight'. read more

Our chicken teriyaki was burnt to a crisp, so much so that nobody would eat it. Every meal we ordered had almost no meat, and was almost entirely filled with onions. Worst Chinese food I have ever ordered, I've ordered from almost everywhere else in baltimore. Save your money and get asian taste. read more

I ordered delievery from China Express for lunch. Food came quickly and was hot. But it was disgusting, easily the worst I've had. Andre's description of the food is spot on. I won't ever order here again. read more

My Chinese New Year dinner! We got our food delivered. We ordered the "Americanized" Chinese food items, such as orange chicken and General Tso's chicken, and they were pretty good! I would suggest trying the fried crabmeat cheese wontons as an appetizer. The delivery was pretty quick and the prices are reasonable. There is no delivery fee for orders over $10! read more

After realizing a soda was missing from the order, I called back to let them know. Not only did the woman I spoke to not apologize, she was incredibly rude about having something I PAID for redelivered. She told me it would take 45 minutes to have a can of soda delivered - keep in mind I live 10 minutes away from the carryout. The food is okay but not worth the terrible service. Avoid. read more

I ordered the roast duck soup - pretty awesome for inner city Baltimore. You can't really find roast duck anywhere close to Charles village. I also ordered the Singapore noodle without curry, it was the bomb diggity! The roast pork was delicious, I do believe they roast their own pork which is pretty amazing; hard to find that level of dedication. The noodles and flavor was on point, reminds me how my dad cooked it at home. The cheese steak rolls, pretty great as well. Solid choice for anyone who wants something savory. I am a pretty picky American Chinese food customer and they won me over :) I do think people need to take a chance on this place! read more

There is a known lack of Chinese food in the area, so options are limited. Of all the Chinese restaurants nearby, I would say this is the best. Delivery via the Eat24 app is quick, max 1 hr on busy weekend nights, and the delivery people are always friendly. Food is delivered very hot and neatly packaged, no leakage. Generous portion sizes. General Tso's chicken is probably the most popular order among Americans so of course I tried that as well. The spiciness level can be customized and mild, for me, was a perfect blend of sweetness with a kick of hot pepper. Utensils, napkins, condiment sauces, and rice always included. Overall, the best choice for Chinese carryout and delivery! read more

Worst customer service ever! There was a mix up on my order. I called them to let them know that I didn't receive what I wanted and that I would like the order I wanted. The food hasn't been taken out of the package or anything. I was told by the woman that the order was right and they aren't redoing any order for free. So I would have to pay again. They would not budge at all and did nothing to resolve it. I told her the item I received was the same price as the actual item I wanted and had actually ordered. She yelled at me that it was still my fault and I would have to place a new order. So I decided to just go and redeliver their food back to them. They do not care about customer satisfaction in any way. Horrible attitudes over a simple mistake that they weren't willing to fix. The worst!!! read more

If it had zero stars I would have clicked that one! The wontons were old and very greasy. The spare ribs looked liked they've been in pan for awhile and just fresh added. Extremely displeased. Will not order from them again. read more

Worst Chinese food I've had in a long, long time. Avoid at all costs. They got my order wrong, but it really didn't matter since everything that did come was awful. At best, it was flavorless. At worst, it was inevitable. The bulk of it went into the trash can. Disgusting. read more

I can't believe the ratings are so low!!! They arrive quite faster than I read from the reviews, I ordered from them several times, and they never disappointed me. The food is okay- just like any other Chinese takeout place. Personally love the duck noodle soup. read more

No stars for no food. I ordered via eat24 app. The restaurant confirmed the order with an estimated 45 minute delivery time. Waited 90 minutes, no food, called restaurant twice. No answer. Had eat24 try to contact restaurant. Wouldn't answer for them either. Cancelled order and had eat24 refund me. read more

Great food. Wanted something that reminded me of home. Hit the spot. Fast delivery. Will order again.

Ordered here at least five times now, never had any issues. Efficient, close, hot, and friendly. Actually communicated after ordering via Eat24 that they were out of an item, and asked if I wanted an alternative. You don't even get that sometimes at similar places. Their shrimp is also legit!!! read more

This place is great. The food is vegetarian friendly and the drivers are always super sweet. It isn't fancy but it's good take out.

The food was great, and they brought it up to my floor rather than the lazy traditional leaving it with the door man. It was delivered fast. Everything was actually there so I'd say they're pretty accurate. As far as a standard american Chinese food, this was really good. read more

Bad customer service and some items on the menu do not clearly say what they actually are. When you find out you ordered something other than you normally would have ordered if you knew that's what it was the staff does nothing to fix the issue. Told me you ordered on eat24 call customer service I cant help you. Also didn't like the food I ordered. Was supposed to be to be hunan chicken but looked like chicken and broccoli. Will not be ordering from them again read more

This is my main spot to order from. Compared to other places in the area, this is by far the better. I would give it 5 stars, but the only issue is delivery can sometimes exceed 45 minutes. Food is always beyond expectation. read more

This place is pretty terrible. Placed an order for food an hour and a half ago. Still waiting on it to arrive. They wouldn't answer the phone, our contact us when we tried to get a hold of them. read more

I am always confused when I see negative reviews for China Express, especially when compared to the other Chinese options in Baltimore, which are pretty bleak. The food is always flavorful, fresh and overall delicious. A good indication of how the rest of your meal is going to be is the egg roll. Their egg rolls are perfectly fried and crispy without being soggy or greasy and they are stuffed full. The meat is good quality and not fatty or gross. I love their General Tso and their lo mein but everything we've ever gotten there we've really liked. Boneless pork is also awesome. Clearly I'm a big fan! read more

I cannot use a star, the food was not bad. But the behavior of the delivery was so rude that words cannot describe it. I clearly mentioned to press the bell when here, but the man was calling and then pressed the bell just once and when I opened the door he was complaining why I was not opening the door. He used the word "F..." and commented about my physique. This is totally unacceptable and I cannot comprehend how and why I got such behavior. The stupid man barely waited for 2 minutes and I got such behavior, this is so rude and unacceptable. read more

If you live in Mt. Vernon, this should be your go to place for Chinese delivery. It may not be the most gourmet Chinese Food, but you get what you pay for. Food comes fast, hot, and in large quantities. read more

Ordered from here a couple of months ago and was very dissatisfied. Tonight my boyfriend accidentally ordered food from here again and I think it somehow got worse? Fried pork dumplings taste like pure dough. Beef and broccoli lacks flavor but plenty of grease and oil. Definitely making sure we don't order from here again. Dinner was hard to stomach. read more

Definitely my favorite Chinese place nearby. Sometimes the wait is a little long, but I just started ordering before I'm hungry. I will say, though my favorite thing to get is the fried crabmeat cream cheese wonton appetizer, they seem to be frying them a little harder lately. Please go back to however you were frying them before! read more

do not and i mean do not ever order from this trash establishment. . i ordered an item which said nothing about having meat in it, under special instructions i asked for all veggies, it came with chicken and pork. when i called to see if the order could be replaced, they argued with me and told me it was my fault and that it wasn't their problem that the ingredients weren't listed.... the manager refused to help and refused to replace anything... i'm in customer service, and i would never treat a guest like that... so...warning....do not use this place... the food sucks and they are extremely rude.... read more
