This place was recommended to me by a coworker. I am glad I asked. I am pretty picky about my Chinese food. Most of them have chewy little pieces of chicken. I ordered the general tso's lunch special. They ask if you want white meat or dark meat. I have never had the option. When I picked it up the place looked very clean and didn't stink like most places. The chicken was so good! They were large pieces and great quality. The sauce was so flavorful. Even my egg roll tasted better than other Chinese. They make their own duck sauce and crispy noodles which were outta this world. They should sell that sauce by the gallon. I also ordered the chicken rice soup. That was ok. I should've tried the egg drop. Prices were great since the food they make is more high end. read more

China Express II - 112. Pepper Steak with Onion - Chinese Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

See all

We are fans of another local Chinese take out place, but they were closed and my daughter was in town for the holiday. We decided to try this place again after trying it when it first opened. I like the option of steamed dishes, but the sauces and mei fun have way too much MSG. It made my heart race so badly I couldn't eat the leftovers. The biggest disappointment is their egg foo young. I've never had this without brown gravy. I called to ask if they specifically had it because their photos didn't show they had any sauce and I didn't want to waste my money buying it. The woman on the phone confirmed it came with "sauce." It came dry with a side of rice and no brown gravy. Sorry, but we will stick to the place we love and have ordered from for several years. read more

My favorite ! They are nice and will make you custom order if you ask . I love their food and their service . Solid Chinese food which is the only restaurant other than up north that I trust for quality every time ! read more

I am very picky with Chinese food since I had a Chinese friend for 30 years who educated me about good food. This is the best quality Chinese food in Monmouth and Ocean County for take-out. I can't believe how fresh all the vegetables are ! They also have some specialties such as Henry's Dumplings. They have 2 locations, one in Silverton and one in Brick. I have been to both many times for take-out since they are only takeout. read more

the worst food ever.. I got the chicken lo mein. the noodles were overcooked too much soy sauc and some type food coloring. the Henry dumplings steam were too thick before they light n fluffy now they are like heavy like led only decent was the dipping sauce ... I'm latino!!! they have Latinos cooking I'm sorry but they don't have no business cooking period I won't go back read more

Picked up dinner tonight. 2 combo platters and a Pu Pu platter. All was fresh and delicious. Reasonable prices. The lady at the counter was pleasant and friendly. I will go there again. read more

The food is delicious, I love it and will come again soon. I love every dish here and I will share it with you.

Place looks filthy and unkept. Food is absolutely disgusting. Take out packaging had food dripping all over side.

I had ate here a few days ago and the food was pretty bomb. But I had really bad diarrhea afterwards, it was not fun since that was the first time experiencing that... One of my friend started working here so that's how I got interested in eating here. I was horrified after what they told me they experienced. The owner seems kinda unprofessional, she don't treat her workers well as my friend wasn't paid which they are LEGALLY required. My friend was in the restaurant as they getting trained during work hour, it was hands on too, and the training was necessary for their position. They were not compensated during those training days. Beside this the restaurant is very unhygienic as the owner's son was running around the restaurant BARE-FEET, probably even in the kitchen. The daughter doesn't wash her hands which is VERY AND MUST CERTAINLY UNHYGIENIC and probably breaks a FDA rule. For me the atmosphere was pretty decent though, and kinda awkward but whatever. Overall I personally wouldn't go unless you want your fried rice to have an extra flavoring salmonella because her daughter don't wash her hands. read more

China Express II - My honest heaction - Chinese Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

food is so so but there is no cash discount. they have a big sign, and twice now i have gotten nothing extra, nor have they offered, yet they have a big sign right there. If you pay cash you will get these things at these levels. read more

Always quick, affordable and delicious. Very kind staff, never disappoints. And very accommodating to vegan! Love it here.

Worse food ever, have been going there for 4 years, they have gone down hill ever since. Will never ever do take out there again!! To many other places to do Chinese! read more

This is our go to spot, excellent food, very friendly service, fast delivery and orders are ALWAYS accurate.

Awful take out!! We got the general Tso chicken it was so overdone you couldn't even tell whether there was chicken in the coating! Then we also preferred chicken and broccoli.. that chicken was so mushy it was awful! Into the garbage it went! We had to order pizza! When I called to complain .. they said.. oh so sorry 5 dollar off next time!! 5 effing dollars?!? I spent $35 !!!! I DO NOT recommend this place! Went way down hill!! I want to give 0 stars but u have to give at least 1 to continue.... read more

Will never get my business again. Online ordered and they never checked it for over 2 hours until I called to inquiry. Told the nasty owner I needed to be compensated for their mistake and she just said yes yes and get it to you in 15. We'll when they arrived they charged my card anyway and didn't order compensation for their lack of checking the system as she admitted to. Bad customer service poor management and honestly not a way to deal with loyal customers who ordered large amounts at one time. read more

Completely messed up my order then argued with me about it. Only half my order was correct. I called & instead of making it right, they argued with me. Everyone I was with heard me make my order, so I know what I asked for. read more

SCAMMERS!!!! PRICE GOUGING !!! MAJOR RIP OFF!! Ordered 2 Generals combos & Qt of plain lo Mein and was charged $56??? Cancelled order! Will never patronize this business again! read more

With every visit this place just disappoints me more. I think on my first visit, I was so pleased with the Henry's Dumplings and so happy to have found a decent Chinese restaurant (or so I thought) in the area, that I judged too hastily. The conclusion I have come to, is that about the only thing worth getting here are the Henry's Dumplings. They are tasty. But with so many misses on just about everything else, I'm no longer going to subject myself to further experimentation here. My last order of Bean Curd Family Style closed the door for me on this place. Bean Curd, or tofu as it's more commonly known, has basically no flavor of it's own. And for that reason, this dish is traditionally prepared by frying the tofu first, which gives it a great flavor and texture, the outside beine almost crispy when done right, and then quickly stir frying it with the other ingredients. But here, they are apparently too lazy to do it in two steps. What they do instead is stir fry the vegetables along with chunks of raw tofu. There's nothing, per se, wrong with raw or fresh tofu, other than the fact that it's bland and too soft for a stir fried dish. In fact, in some dishes it works, like Korean Soondubu Jjigae, where it takes on other flavors, but not so in this case. They should know this, but either don't know, or prefer taking short cuts. If this was the first dish with problems, I'd write it off as a bad night, but ever since my first visit, I've been making excuses for them. It's beginning to feel like I'm in an abusive relationship . Where's the nearest Battered Customers Shelter? read more

The rudest nastiest customer service I've ever experienced! Delivery took over an hour. Food was cold! Owner was so rude and disrespectful! Please do yourself a favor and never order from this place. If they get it right, great but don't expect them to fix it if they get it wrong. This was without a single doubt, the worst dining experience that I have ever had to endure. There are other friendlier and better places that would appreciate your business. It is plainly obvious that this place could care less! read more

usually good food, we placed many orders with them. one meal we got was horrible, food not cooked right. we called them and they didn't seem to care about keeping a regular customer.after a lengthy conversation the best they would do was offer half the amount paid for our order. ok if the meal is good but badly lacking in customer service. we are off to another place! read more

Ordered the coconut shrimp and Henrys dumplings . The dumplings were good.The coconut shrimp was awful .I had it before and it was delicious .This time it was cooked like for 9 hours ! The batter was hard and the shrimp was rubber. Not to mention they took very long for Chinese food standards. On the fence about ordering again . If it wasn't so good last time I would never order again. I am hoping it was a bad night. I am not a picky eater nor do I usually write reviews . Just very disappointed .Wish they had a website or email to contact and let them know. I don't want to call I'm sure that will go on deaf ears. read more

Having recently moved into this area, I needed to find a Chinese place that was both close by and decent. China Express fits both these requirements, and I've placed more than a few orders for food here in the past weeks. The good: This place is exceptionally clean. Normally, Chinese restaurants tend to be laden with greased-up walls and char marks on the kitchen, but here you're treated to a huge open-view kitchen with stainless appliances and freshly mopped floors. The food is pretty decent as well, and is probably one of the better places in the 08723 side of Brick. As others have mentioned, the dumplings are fantastic; they come with a side of homemade dipping sauce and are cooked absolutely perfectly. In addition, the Egg Foo Young was excellent as well, and also came with a side of a very obviously homemade brown sauce with veggies in it. The 'meh': Price is kind of steep for food here. Lunch specials are over $6.25 (most places in the area are 5 to 5.50), and the dinner combo platters are generally over $12, even for simpler things like the aforementioned Egg Foo Young. On the flipside, the portions are huge for the combos, easily spanning 2 or even 3 meal's worth, so at least you get a lot for your money. Still, I'd prefer paying less and not having to eat the same thing 2-3 days out of the week. Call ahead if you plan on coming here, too - it takes a good amount of time for some dishes to be prepared (duck apparently takes ~35 mins?). All in all, a pretty good choice locally for takeout. read more

Quality choice for Chinese food in Brick. The specials are typically very good, if not a bit pricey. Had been disappointed by the lack of chicken in the General Tso's in the past but I don't eat fried foods anymore. Probably the second best Chinese restaurant in the area. Edit: The most recent order I had consisted of a wonton soup which had the most overcooked wontons I've ever tasted... The soup was frankly awful last time. Egg rolls are nonetheless very good, and the entree itself utilized fairly high quality meats and fish although I feel much of the special menu is a few dollars overpriced. The lobster included in some of the specials is probably one of the better quality from a Chinese restaurant of this caliber. The young chow rice was also well-made and had plenty of chicken, pork, shrimp, and eggs. I feel like they're priced as a higher-end restaurant than they are despite the cleanliness and generally quality food. read more

I ordered take out on Sunday 8/1. The food was awful - fried foods were completely overdone. The bill was $2 more than it should have been. I live in an apartment bldg & have passed on my experience to many of the residents here. read more

I really love this place. It's one of the places my family knows that only i like to go to. I mean, My mom and dad and my brother will eat there, but they don't like it as a dinner choice a lot. I always am exited to go here first chance i get. You enter to tables, A Snapple fridge, a freindly Budda statue on the counter (Make sure to give him pennies when you enter!) and best of all, You can SEE INSIDE the kitchen clear as day to watch them cook to your heart's content. The tables are only for sitting, not for eating though. For delivery or to pick-up, This place never fails to impress. We only had one flaw with my mom's vegtable dish (We got it back with a bunch of meat!) But i is a very good place to eat if you are craving Chinease. read more

China Express II - The Entrance. - Chinese Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

I've been coming to this place for years. All you need to know is that's it's really good high quality Chinese Food. It's clean, the people are friendly and ordering is easy. There is nothing on the menu here that I haven't liked. It's across the street from the church of the visitation and right next to Yellow Brick Road ice cream. It's closed on Mondays so plan your Chinese food fix accordingly. read more

This place continues to get our business because the food is always good and fresh and the service is always friendly and fast. We ordered pickup from them tonight and it was delicious. Portion sizes are generous and you can tell the food is super fresh. The pork fried rice is made fresh and the other dishes are top notch. Also, they give you face masks in your order! This is so kind and considerate....defiantly made me want to finally leave a review! read more

This used to be good like the one in Toms River on Hooper (China Express I), but after it was sold the prices went up and the quality went down. Looking for a different place in Brick, but may have to go to the original TR location for what we used to get around the corner. read more

Just placed an order today for delivery... Small order 3 combos. Was told 45 min for delivery which is ok until we climb to near 2 hours. I called twice, first time I was told it is out and should be there momentarily... Twenty minutes later I ask again and the poor girl assigned to deal with angry customers tells me the delivery is still out and will be there shortly. Here we are 20 minutes later and the manager Tom tells me it's being bagged up and will leave in 30 SECONDS. I told Tom to hold it and I'll pick it up after Being lied to twice.... Guess what.... I got there and the order wasn't even ready yet so I told them to cancel it. The business is about 1 thing... Your money!!!!! They don't care and will do whatever to get it. They just lost mine and will never get it back. Wasted 3 hours of my life for a god damn egg roll!!!!! read more

Been ordering every weekend for the past year from them. Put in an order today and it's almost 3 hours now. Even waited outside and nobody showed. Called them and the driver said he knocked and nobody answered. That is a lie, because I have a security camera. I do not like to be lied to, especially considering I have ordered once a week for the past year. read more

The only Chinese food I will ever order from. I always get sweet n sour chicken or boneless spare ribs and they are always the BEST. Perfect amount of sauce on the ribs and not dried out! My fiancé always orders beef and broccoli and never complains because it is delicious! read more

First time ordering from here and I will be ordering from here again. So, I figured I would just get two things and see how they come out. I got an order of crab rangoons and vegetable pad Thai. When I grabbed the pad Thai out of the bag that was delivered to me by a very friendly driver, the first thing I said was wow. The portion is huge for $10 and the amount of fresh veggies and the limes and the cilantro on top was beautiful looking. The taste is amazing it's a little spicy but delicious and crab rangoons are creamy and not greasy at all. They come with this red dipping sauce. Delicious. Next time, I'm ordering so much more! Found my new Chinese food place! read more

Very good Chinese place! Very clean with excellent service! Chicken and broccoli, Dumplings, and sweet and sour chicken are amazing! My new place for sure read more
