I have been ordering from China Express for at least eight years now and I still enjoy their food as I did the first time. It's your usual American-Chinese take-our restaurant with a few oriented dishes here and there. My favorites are the Sizzling Spicy Shrimp and the Orange Beef. read more

The best Chinese I've had in the area! I also had the sushi and the salmon was fresher than all of the sushi places I've tried around here. Highly recommend. read more

The portions we received were very small. I ordered the beef fried rice and only received 5 small pieces of beef. My boyfriend ordered the Kung Pao chicken and it definitely didn't taste like Kung pao at all. The crab rangoons were the worst I've ever had. I hate to leave such a nasty review but I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to eat their food. read more

Ordered Kung Po chicken, veg spring rolls, and Pad Thai. Everything was very good, inclusing the service.

Awesome! THE BEST Chinese Food I have had outside on New York City...and yes, NYC does have the best Chinese food. If you are from NY and you want realy good take out, go here over anywhere else in NOVA. Hands down! Even better than your typical NY take out place, it's also a decent and quite respectable looking resturant. And the service was quite friendly. So if you want to eat in, go for it. It also has sushi, which while not the best (I did get it to go), it was quite servicable. I will have to try more rolls in house instead of take out. Overall, worth every dollar, especially if you know what good Chinese take out is supposed to be! read more

Great service! Very nice people. It was open on Christmas! & the food was very good!! My boyfriend and I ordered wonton and the hot & sour soup, the fried dumplings, and our dinner was combination lo mein and lemon delight for two. It was lightly fried and came with a light lemon syrup on the side. We will definitely be dining in again. read more

These people have no respect for their customers what so ever. The lady at the place gave my father the worst attitude and harsh words that I have ever heard. My father went in to pick up food for us that we had ordered for pick up. We were told it would be ready in 25 to 20 mins because it was busy (which is totally understandable because in these times of COVID people need to make money). When my father got to the place the order was not ready and he was told to wait a few more minutes. So after waiting a few more minutes he asked the lady how much longer it would take (at this point I was on the phone with him asking for an ETA) the lady responded "it's not ready yet and if you don't want to wait then you can leave!!" I was shocked to hear that but that's not all she continued to say "it's busy time and if can't wait then don't order the food." My father is quiet old and the lady said this in front of other customer totally embarrassing him in front of people. They have no guilt or empathy towards any of their customers. I will never be ordering from the place again and I hope no one else has to go through this ordeal with them in the future. read more

This just became my new go to place for Chinese food. The delivery was quick. Food was hot, fresh, and tasty. I had fried dumplings, pork lo mein and the General Tsos. I'm usually very picky about chinese take out, but everything was delicious and the chicken tasted like real white meat chicken! read more

Wish I could give 0 stars. I have lived around the corner for a year and a half and have not tried this place, so thought I'd give them a shot when I was craving egg drop soup. They have an $8 minimum for debit cards, which is ridiculous. So I got crab rangoons, egg drop soup, and spring rolls. First, there was NO crab in the crab rangoons. They were all cream cheese and disgusting. The spring rolls were mushy and had no flavor. They even managed to mess up egg drop soup. Will not be back, if you want awesome Chinese, go to Panda Cafe on route 29. They are cheaper and the food is actually edible. read more

This food is edible but just not very good. When you add in the high prices, I expect it to be very good. Moo shu was extremely salty and general tso's was a lot of soggy batter in a very sweet sauce with very little meat or spice. Most dishes used very cheap salad shrimp. I won't order again. read more

I have been a regular patron of China Express for almost 18 years and it is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Clifton and Centreville. The food - whether carry out or dine in - is always well prepared and with generous portions. AND the chef will prepare any dish any way you want it.. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying China Express. read more

Ordered three (3) orders of California Roll crabmeat only spicy and regular. No avocado or sesame. A total of 18 for delivery. Ummm - very good and FRESH! A+. Will do again easily! read more

China Express - California Roll Spicy Crabmeat and Imitation Crabmeat. Yum! - Chinese Near Me - Clifton, Virginia

Yummy... no matter if its dine in or take out... Amazing food and service... the one by two soup is my favorite but whatever I order (and its never the same) is good. Quick delivery and friendly staff read more

While I lived in Centreville, I ordered from here frequently. The food is good and prices are even better, but I'm leaving a negative review because they're unwilling to work with customers. I'm .5 miles outside of their delivery radius (4 miles as stated on website) at my new location. I placed an online order which went through, so I assumed all would be okay. I then got a call that they were canceling my order because they wouldn't deliver to my location. I felt this was a little silly, since it is only .5 miles away but I understood the need for regulations regarding delivery distance. After searching for some other Chinese place, I decided this place was what I really wanted. I called back and asked if they could simply charge more for delivery to accommodate the extra half mile. I have ordered from here from GMU which is even further, so I knew that at some point they would deliver further. Nonetheless, I was told, "uh, no". Okay. There went my business. I would have even paid double the delivery fee (which is definitely unreasonable but I had a craving for it) but the place was just unwilling to work with me, or perhaps didn't care to. tl;dr = good food but stupid service decisions. read more

If you want unidentifiable chicken parts that look and taste like organs; this is the place for you. All the sweet meals (orange chicken, sesame chicken, general tso's chicken) have the same exact commercially bottled sauce that tastes like maple syrup. Horrible quality with top notch prices. I wouldnt mind spending 12 or even $20 for a meal but I would like to get some meat that tastes and smells like good quality meat and not the catch of the day or last weeks expired chicken organs. Take your money elsewhere or find out the hard way. read more

I have this place on my speed dial as God of Chinese Takeout. My friends and I live off the food at this place. On a bad day it's delicious. On a good day it's like joy exploding in your mouth. The prices are typical for Chinese takeout, but you get a lot more food. One order of chicken fried rice is at least two meals for me. Their fried rice doesn't have the strong taste of soy sauce that most places have. Plus they always throw in extra fortune cookies, sodas, sauces, etc. Every once in a while you wind up with an extra order of white rice. Delivery takes a while sometimes, but is well worth the wait. read more

Easy to order, easy take-out option. Good food and good portions. Our "go to" neighborhood Chinese food place

This is my neighborhood takeout place, and we've been ordering from them for many years. As long as you understand this is not "authentic" Chinese food, you'll be fine. The food comes out quick, is always hot and filling. Nice touch is the free soda with every entree order. read more

I felt very disrespected when asked the owner (Ricky, as he claimed to be) to add a bit of green pepper to my fried chicken wings and he first started to play dumb as if he had no idea how to add green pepper to a dish, and then he started to raise his voice and asked me to add $2. On top of that, I just found out that they use frozen fish fillet bought from Shopper's for their chef's specialty. Wow!!! This would be the worst experience I ever had at a Chinese Restaurant in VA. A money-hungry business owner who is determined to make money by any means necessary, and even if it means cutting corners. read more

Ordered my food exactly one hour ago, where is my food? I called and they are trying to tell me I did not order. I have a receipt emailed to me with everything on it. If you want this food tomorrow order now it should be ready by then. read more

It's good...kinda. Can't expect much from Chinese takeout anyways. General tso's chicken is good cause you can't really mess it up. Would recommend sino's inn instead of this place, in the area as well. read more

Pretty standard chinese delivery but what I like is the all white breast meat that they use. It's not rubbery like some places. The chicken with black bean sauce and the kung pao are both really tasty. I also like the fact that you can get a plain Lo mein for 5 bux. read more

Take-away or eat-in, it's always good and tasty stuff. Ordering through the website is a breeze, and there's a 10% discount! Delivery's fast and always correct. They are our go-to for takeaway Chinese. :-) read more

Decent price at 24$ for two dinner entrees delivered. Not a big fan of the meat in the dishes, but the vegetables were of a satisfying texture. General Tso's did use big chunks of white meat chicken, the Hunan beef was a tad bland. read more

I ordered the 6 crispy chicken wings and I am still trying to figure out what type of meat I was given. Never had I tasted anything like it before. The spring rolls had enough grease on them that I literally could have oiled my whole family with them (all 8 of us). And the shrimp egg foo yung kept me in the bathroom. Needless to say I wasted nearly $40.00 on food to just throw away. Now I don't know about the other China Express but this one was in Manassas Va . So if you like mystery meat this maybe your type of restaurant but for me I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. The food had me sick for almost 2 days straight. The most awful meal I have ever bought. To top it off they want me to select a star before submitting this. They don't deserve 1/5 of a star but I desperately want to let everybody know how lousy this business really is so I am going to lie and give them 1 star. read more

I have lived in Centreville for over 10yrs and have been going to China Express since then. They make a decent Singapore noodles & every one in my family really likes the combo fried rice and combo low mein. I have tried other places, but none compare to the distance & amount of food they give you. read more

Great food, good services and fair prices. I usually go to this Chinese restaurant twice a week.

I've been coming here for 15 years - it's amazing. Everyone has their own token Chinese food place and this is mine! My family and I have basically tried everything on the menu and there's nothing we haven't liked - they're very quick and the price is excellent! Must try ( fried rice or beef and broc are my fav!) read more

I ordered Kung Pao Chicken and I expected white/dark meat. I was very disappointed when my meal was delivered and the meat was unreconizable with veins/arteries - it looked like organ meat - mystery meat - completely gross. I picked the meat out of my meal in an effort to salvage my lunch, but it left the sauce tasting a bit strange. I paid a hefty price for what I ate of my lunch (RICE), It was what I felt was safe to eat. They also had the nerve to charge an additional fee on my credit card for a hot sauce, generally when I eat chinese this is a basic condiment. I will not be eating at China Express ever again. I feel they use the lowest quality products to prepare the food. read more

My husband and I actually really like this take out restaurant. We have only had one bad experience and it was due to how long they took to deliver. Otherwise great we always customize our order and they always get it right, they are fast, and it's tasty. Have been ordering for about 2 years now. The other day we ate there and it was clean they were friendly and fast. read more

Great Hot and Sour soup with a wonderful rich base with heavy beef flavor. Dim sum special today on Sunday. Shrimp or pork and shrimp dumplings. Perenial roast duck special and assortment of other specials. read more

See all

The hot and sour soup, general tsos chicken, and triple delight are really good. I Only order delivery but and happy with whatever I order every time. They deliver quick and have never messed up an order. They also offer small and Large portions of entrees which I think is pretty cool. read more

Hands down the best Chinese food in the area. We do takeout from here all the time and have never been disappointed!!! Wish this was closer to my house in Ashburn, but it's worth the drive to get this amazing food. read more

Delivery entrees are somewhat small for what you're pay for... there are much cheaper locations that can offer the same quality delivery chinese food... read more

Great food, just a tad pricey for the amount you get. The staff are always friendly and the food has always been delicious.

My go to place for Chinese food. Have been ordering here for 15+ years. Always consistent and the prices vs portions is perfect if not too much food. If you like a little curry and spice then you have to get the Singapore rice noodles. read more

Very attentive staff- polite beautiful atmosphere. I came with my two children and they enjoyed their meals as well as learning about the different Chinese astrology characters. Sushi was delicious and I loved the devoted sushi bar- I would definitely come back on a date night for sake! read more

This is some really good Chinese food. I think sometimes it maybe is a little expensive, but the chicken tastes fresh. Usually when I get orange chicken and cut it in half you can see the meat is cooked nicely unlike a lot of Chinese places around. If you eat here, be sure to try the hot and sour soup. It has a very distinct taste. read more

Extremely disappointed. A friend told me this Chinese restaurant was better than Fortune Gourmet, NOT!

Ordered their house special fried rice. No beef, lots of rice and some measly pieces of chicken and shrimp. The food wasn't even flavorful. So disappointed in their service. I won't be going back. read more
