Ordered ribs :not great and tough Ordered egg drop soup-- dark in color no taste, ordered egg rolls, burnt and crunchy-- I called and they said that's how they fry it. The shrimp Thai was decent. I wanted shrimp fried rice but they only have shrimp and rice:,no eggs no bean sprouts no carrots no onions in it, unless you add$5$ so I tried the Thai shrimp. I was not impressed at all. When a customer has a valid complaint fix it to the best of your ability. I do no recommend this restaurant at all ! read more

Best Chinese delivery food in Tyson's Corner hands down!!!!! We moved to the Wolftrap area 25 years ago and this guys were just about the only food delivery option we had and their food has been consistently delicious, fresh, and fast all these years!!!! Their fried meat dumplings and the Chicken with Green Beans are probably some of the very best chines delivery dishes in the DMV read more

I ordered food here from Uber Eats and it was so good. I got their chicken wings with egg fried rice and egg rolls. The wings were fresh, tender, and crispy. Delicious! The fried rice was good, nothing special but good. The egg rolls were the real stand out - everything about it was delicious. Definitely going to be re-ordering from here again. read more

Needed a quick dinner on the way out to Reston and this spot gets great reviews. It sure is a literal hole in the wall, but was worth it! The chicken and shrimp curry from the chef's specialties was amazing. 7or 8 HUGE shrimp and lots of chicken. I've gotten less shrimp in shrimp-only entrees from other spots. Plenty of crisp veggies and a flavorful sauce. Really nice people. Will be back even though we're not super close by. read more

If I could give less stars I would. This food was so nasty!! The fried rice is what I got it had all this red pepper flakes and it was in one spot it's like I asked for it spicy and they just threw red pepper flakes and forgot to stir it up the meat was so processed it didn't look or taste good. I also got the Spring rolls they are so greasy. It was so bad. I wish I took a picture of the napkin I let it sit on. I just threw it away. The wontons that go inside the soup where old stale. I also ordered fried dumplings. The dough was so hard. My experience was not great all. I wouldn't recommend anybody to eat here. read more

Excellent food. Fresh and tasty! Very surprised for a little take out place Will order soon again read more

Favorite Chinese take out place in the area. My family ordered food from here when I was growing up (and they still come here) and now that I've been moved out, I still drive back to the area to get take out. I really enjoy the Kung Pao Chicken & Orange Chicken. Personally, I find that the Kung Pao Chicken used to be much spicier, but now it's more mild and bearable. If you like spicy, I'd suggest clarifying when ordering that you want it spicier. The Orange Chicken has actual pieces of orange peel in it and is nice to balance out the spice from the other dishes. The family that runs this place is very hard working and gracious. They're also open late every day which is convenient, and they get your food out pretty quickly even when it's slammed. Getting there can be confusing since it's hidden in the back and there's limited parking, so I recommend calling ahead to order so you can pick up your food and go without having to park. Don't let the exterior fool you - the food and service are worth it. read more

GREAT option for a busy weekday dinner *No MSG or other additives (and FOOD is YUMMY!); *Fast delivery; - I received my order in less than 1/2 an hour. *Delivery person was very polite and wore a mask; *Locally owned family business (20 years!); and *Ordering via their website is super easy. - No need for Grubhub, UberEats, DoorDash, etc. read more

China Express - crispy beef & pork lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

After trying countless Chinese take out around the area, we've settled on China Express and North China Cafe in Falls Church as the "best" Chinese take out. I say best in quotes because compared to Chinese take out in say NYC or San Francisco, these places would not come close to being the best. That being said, China Express has very solid take out, big portions for the price (slightly cheaper than their competitors), and they are very speedy. - General Tso - Good ratio of breading to meat and slightly sweeter than other General Tso. - Kung Pao Chicken - I was thrown off by the way they make it here. The chicken is breaded and the dish was dry. Typically, it's not breaded and there's a little bit of sauce. Honestly, it grew on me and I would order it again. - Combination fried rice - Needed more soy sauce or salt but overall very tasty - Hot and sour soup - This was not very good. It lacked the sour part of the soup. I had to add rice vinegar to make it taste better. Would not order again. - Egg rolls - These were good! Very crispy and had a decent amount of filling. read more

This is the ONLY Chinese restaurant we order from and will continue to do so. read more

Food is good. Ordered the Chicken and Broccoli and Wonton Soup and was satisfied. It's what you would expect from a Chinese Food joint. I was surprised by the fast delivery. When I heard them knock on my door I was surprised it was them. All the food was warm and safely packaged :) read more

This is easily my favorite take out place: 1. Really good food 2. Very generous proportions 3. Always on time. I live 10 mins away from them and they always get to me within 20 mins 4. Reasonable prices If the owners ever read this review... thank you!!! read more

5 stars for the dumplings alone!! But for real, I have been going here for many years and have yet to be disappointed. The lunch specials are a phenomenal deal, and portions are very generous for both lunch and dinner. This is my go-to Chinese food spot. It's a bit hard to find the first time you do pick up, and sometimes there aren't parking spots when it's a busy day, but the food is always fresh and ready on time! read more

An abundance of food. Everyone in the office love China express. Order form them for office events for years Reliable delivery and delicious food. The dumpling is must have . read more

China Express - Catering - Chinese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

This used to be my families go to food place, for delivery. Food always used to be fresh, hot and delivered on time. I discovered this place online, 4 years back and have ordered from here religiously. I have gotten food catered for family events from here. This place used to be my favorite chinese food takeout while pregnant, when food cravings kicked it. Never did I feel heavy, bloated or uneasy after having it. Something seems to have changed here in the last one year or so. The food has become substandard and there seems to be no quality control. The last 2 times I ordered the food, it was extremely oily. We couldn't taste any of the dishes, only tasted grease. Threw out everything. Kung Pao chicken, had a very strange metallic taste, i dont even know how that is possible. This food is not priced cheaply and I don't mind paying more for good food, but this was a complete waste of my money. Each time I just paid for oil. The few bites that we took, we all ended up sick, with upset stomach and severe heartburn. Until they get their act together I will not be returning and wouldn't recommend others go there either. Really Disappointed! read more

This is my go to Chinese restaurant for delivery. I like their Singapore noodles and their fried dumplings. I also like their moo shui pork. Their egg rolls are a little greasy, but always crunchy and pretty good. They have always been fast. My house is hard to find, for some reason it doesn't seem to come up on most GPS mapping systems. I would like to give them total kudos because they always follow the instructions I leave in the notes when I order via online Yelp 24 and they are the one restaurant that has never gotten lost. Their delivery drivers apparently follow directions really well. Hey man! That's important when your Hungary. They only reason for 4 stars is because they are a comfort food Chinese restaurant and they do it well. However, I have a different Chinese restaurant I go to, when I actually get off my ass and go out for Chinese. read more

I grew up on Long Island,NY, and Chinese food is very important as to its faithfulness to taste, texture and general good taste. I was extremely pleased with the egg rolls. But, the spare ribs were a little too sweet for my taste. Tge sweet and sour soup was excellent. The dry noodles were not to my liking. They were perhaps stale. I do have particular standards for my dry Chinese noodles. They need to be on the oily side, crisp and somewhat "rough" in texture. Being that this was the first time I ordered from them, the distasteful noodles won't cause me to NOT order again. But if they are not pleasing next time, I will look elsewhere. Though they are a small item, it is an essential as an additive to soup. read more

Fast, fresh and delicious! Ordered delivery and well as pipped in for takeout. Both experiences were efficient, polite and friendly. What more can I say?? Definitely recommend read more

Over the past few months I have ordered "Chinese" (actually, Americanized Chinese) food for lunch MANY times from several different Chinese restaurants in the Tysons/Vienna/Oakton area, and today I am going to review several of them, so you can check out all of these reviews to see my conclusions. So this is an updated review of China Express, focusing more on lunch takeout than dinner delivery as before. I have done takeout from this restaurant several times now, and after comparing it with many other places in the area, I believe they are about middle of the pack in food quality, slightly below average in value, and the service - factoring in their website - is just "OK." The portions are just average, including the average-to-small spring roll. Meanwhile, the food quality has deteriorated since I reviewed them several years ago. It's not bad - it's just not nearly as good as way back when. The freied rice is mediocre IMO, and the beef with green pepper is mere shell of its former self from many years ago. Now, the food is just "OK." And the prices are now significantly higher. Not a great value, IMO. Frankly . . . now I can get equivalent food quality and portions at the same or better prices from that huge national Chinese food chain in the mall, whom I shall not name. When you place or pick up your order, the person who greets you is polite and friendly. I think they use high school or college students for that, and they are pleasant. Their website, on the other hand, is terrible. And I do not understand why so many places like this one contract their ordering out to Beyondmenu.com, as their software just does not work on a computer, period. Only works on a phone. Boo. Bottom line is that China Express is "OK," but not a go-to place for me in the area any longer due to deteriorated food quality, increased prices, and better competition. There is a better, cheaper, place right around the corner in the very building next door. Check out my other reviews today of other Chinese restaurants in the area. read more

If I could give them 3.5 stars instead of 4, I probably would, but they do give you A LOT of food for each entree so I'm comfortable with giving 4 stars. I used to order from this place a lot along with several co-workers during my past employment in McLean, VA, and it was great back then and was unbeatable Chinese fast food. However, ordering it again just today after a long hiatus from them, I experienced that a few things have changed in terms of their recipes. The general tso's chicken is NOW almost indistinguishable from the orange chicken in terms of color and flavor. It used to have a robust spiced flavor with a great, almost maroon color to match. The general tso that we got was this basic orange like the orange chicken and tasted far too similar to it too. Also the batter wasn't as crispy as it used to be. I was somewhat disappointed as this used to be among my favorites from them. The sesame chicken also lacked the bolder sesame sauce that I remembered them for when I worked in McLean. The only thing that stayed pretty much the same (in a good way!) was the kung pao chicken. Also, I ordered spicy for all four dishes (kung pao chicken and shrimp, sesame chicken, orange chicken, and general tso chicken) and none of them had even the slightest hint of spice except maybe the kung pao but very, very slight. Even my 11 year old nephew who normally prefers mild was able to eat from all entrees with zero issues and didn't realize they were supposed to spicy. Having said that, we all still enjoyed all the food but it was definitely less stellar than their recipes before. It's time for me to visit China, especially Szechuan area, to get some actually spicy and bold-flavored Chinese food. Because I think this order is a sign that American Chinese food is just getting blander to please non-Asian Westerners. read more

As a foodie who was lost in her cravings for something similar to home cooking, I resorted to my go-to: lo mein. While on my hunt for food close by work, I had time to kill and figured out where offers the cheapest options. China Express is located on the very back row of the business complex, so don't worry, you're not lost. Their bbq pork lo mein wasn't what I expected, when I realized it wasn't crispy roasted pork but char-siu pork my appetite wasn't deterred. Their dinner portion is enough for two small bodies or for one hangry taller body, as a short girl with eyes bigger than her stomach, I already know this portion is a separate sit down feasting occasion. It's loaded with sliced veggies (carrot, celery, portobellos mushrooms, and green onions) and bbq pork. The lo mein is the best part! It's your typical thick lo mein, my only disappointment is that it doesn't have that special charred flavor you can only accomplish with a very hot wok. Nonetheless, the noodles weren't too soft, the veggies were crunchy, although just on the more bland side which isn't a bad thing, we all have different palates for savory. I also ordered a side of their crab wontons, wrapped into triangles rather than a more bite size orientation. I think that's the best part, six huge pieces of triangles filled with imitation crab meat in a cheese sauce -which slightly reminds me of a fettuccine with a white sauce- soo delicious. Fair warning, don't wait 15 minutes for it to become cold, eat those while they're piping hot! The staff were few but very kind and extroverted. They do deliver at a limited proximity for free. If you work at the mall like I do, I've confirmed they'll find you inside to hand you piping hot Chinese food. :) read more

China express is a delicious, take-out, family owned spot. We have only ordered delivery from them and have received consistent, piping hot food from them every time. We are very impressed with how quickly the food gets delivered by their employees. It's refreshing that they still do their own deliveries rather than using uber eats or another delivery service. Being very basic when it comes to my Chinese food favorites, I recommend the orange chicken. read more

I recently moved to Tyson's, and I was pretty surprised on how good this place is. I have had Chinese food at various places and this place is ranking top for me right now. One of my favorites, Lo Mein Noodles. Delicious, spicy! My fam ordered, sweet and sour chicken (I think it was a tad bit too sweet for my liking.), curry noodles and general tso's chicken and they liked it. Def would order again in the future. They are pretty fast as well, came 10 mins early. read more

Nice little family owned Chinese food place in McLean VA. I was here on a biz trip but came here 3 times in a week. Their Kung pao chicken was good and I like how they give you a lot of food. Their peiking duck was also great. It is super hard to find and I like supporting the nice family owned business here read more

This is my second time ordering from here and both times, my experience was splendid! Hidden gem behind the small lot of Pizza Hut. It's so hidden that the owner calls me to verify if I know how to find it because it is hard to find (nicely telling me the directions). Order was efficiently made and when I came to get my order I wanted to order one more thing and they quickly made it for me. I would definitely order more from here : delivery and take out experience was on point! read more

Saying I'm a fan is a bit of a stretch, but this seems to be the place we consistently like to order from and for that reason I'll have to give it 4 stars. Don't forget to visit the website for their coupons. Just mention it with the order and they'll give it to you. read more

This place is hard to find even with a GPS. That aside its one of Tyson corners hidden gems. This rating is off of the kung pow alone but it's my go to and normally if you mess up that the rest is crap too. They didn't. This I probably the best I've had so far. Soooo good. It's funny because when I walked in I told the lady that I came to this place because it was rated so highly on yelp and she just kinda waved it off stating "I don't pay attention to it. If your style of food is off from what that person is used to having then they give you a bad review. I just do my best on every order and that's all I can do." Well, I'll tell you this, it shows. read more

China Express - Kung pow chicken, extra spicy, no peanuts done right! - Chinese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Like every other Chinese take out place, but the owners here are super nice and accommodating. They'll make you custom dishes upon request, and don't try to charge you for small ridiculous things. Ordering to food ready is pretty quick too. Just note, the restaurant is bit hard to find, we drove around a couple times first time we went! read more

We learned about this place from the Nextdoor app. I'm SO glad we checked it out! Amazing, fresh, tasty, and worth every cent. We did takeout, not delivery. Folks were in their cars happily waiting. Wonton soup is fantastic. The dumplings are SO tasty. We also spiced up the General Tso chicken and shrimp. Impressed and we will order again!! Just as an FYI, seems like a shady neighborhood in the end of an industrial strip mall. There's no place to sit, it's just take out. Don't let any of those things scare you away. We've looked a long time for good Chinese food in the Tysons area!! read more

This place is the definition of "hole in the wall" but I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. It's kind of in a sketchy location in the corner of a strip mall, but definitely worth checking out. Their pork fried rice and wonton soup were both A++ and ready within minutes. There's no area to sit down to eat, but the food remained hot until I got home. The employees are super nice and the prices are pretty fair for what you get. I'll definitely be back for another late-night meal! read more

Exceptionally slow, rude and nasty on Christmas Day. Offended by the attitude of the employees. Was screaming and yelling while waving her hands. Mask wearing policy was inconsistent as well. Will never patronize again. read more

This was really good Chinese food that was astoundingly cheap (fed a whole office lunch for about $50). Considering there's probably a high volume of orders around lunchtime in Tysons, the delivery was fast too -- 45 minutes from calling it in at 11 a.m. The only thing I'd point out is that even the large portions are not very big. Order several things if you have a lot of people to feed or you're very hungry. I can't imagine how the small or lunch portions look because the large boxes were just the smallish to-go boxes you get from other places. I'm used to a normal clamshell takeout container sort of portion when I order something delivery from a restaurant, and with Chinese especially it always seems like you have more leftovers than what you get at China Express. Overall, I would totally eat this Chinese again! The orange chicken was very flavorful, the garlic pork was a really good kind of spicy and I also enjoyed what I tried of the kung pao tofu. The veggie spring rolls are THE BOMB. read more
