Can't wait to try!!

Erica was super nice and accommodating. Can't wait to try. She answered all out questions.

Shrimp
Rheyland S.

Tried something new other than one by the house .Delivery service was fast. Being 5 miles away and getting the order out and delivered before yelp eta. Food is alright for a quick bite. But nothing to crave for. Orange chicken batter was falling apart so it felt like un cook for some. The sauce was good with the added chillies slices. The shrimp was awesome I like the garnish green onions with that fish sauce taste. I would order that again.

Vegetable Chow Mein

This was my first time trying China Mama and I was really excited. I regret going to the express location. Maybe the restaurant locations on Spring Mountain or Palace Station would have been better. I see a lot of videos on social media. It looked delicious. However, the food was awful. Biggest disappointment was the rice. How do you mess up the white rice? It was old, dark yellow, and hard. Ruined my appetite for the whole meal. The noodles were dry, tasteless, and bad. Crispy beef was hard as a rock. Was really disappointed. Crispy duck was tasteless. We could not finish the food and threw it away. Waste of money. I'm still considering trying the restaurant locations.

Spicy And Sour Fish Soup With Pickled Mustard Greens
Tehmina Z.

Got to try a whole lot from their menu because it is family style dinning and came with 5 other people. Each of us got something different off the menu and shared. The rice and fish soup, Crispy beef, and eggplant were my favorite dishes from the night, I give those a 5. My friends like those and also liked the tofu dish. The sweet shrimp appetizer is delicious too. I could have done without the crispy duck, it was kind of on the dry side to me and the sauce wasn't enhancing its taste. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice on the inside, dim lighting. The parking is tough though because the lot gets very packed at dinner time. The service was wonderful, all the food came out quick, and the waitress was helpful and attentive.

Sweet and Sour Fish!

The service was fast! The food looks good! Just picking up! Still gotta try it! Faster than regular China Mama for sure!

Crispy Beef
Ranier G.

If you know, you know. And if you don't, let this be your introduction to China Mama Express--an absolute gem serving some of the most consistently excellent Chinese food in the Valley. The crispy beef is our go-to favorite: always hot, crunchy, never greasy, and packed with flavor. It rivals--and honestly exceeds--versions we've had at upscale restaurants. The wontons in Szechuan chili sauce are a must: tender, perfectly seasoned, and swimming in a rich, spicy broth that hits all the right notes. The stir-fried pork with dried tofu is subtle but deeply satisfying, and the salt & pepper shrimp? Easily some of the best we've ever had--light, crispy, and bursting with garlic and chili flavor. We always get two orders of the house special fried rice because one just isn't enough. Every dish feels thoughtfully made, not rushed or reheated, and the quality shines through. No frills, no fluff--just top-tier cooking, generous portions, and bold flavors that keep us coming back. A hidden standout in Vegas Chinese cuisine. Highly recommend.

Delicious and convenient! Just like other China mama store. Great option you crave for China mama but wanna dine at home!

Assorted appetizers
Joe P.

Where to start? In Vegas with some buddies and we try this place based on a recommendation from our Uber Driver on a previous trip. Located in Shanghai Plaza away from the strip this place could double its size and easily keep the tables full. In fact, if you have a group larger than 6 you will end up being shoehorned into a table. But the food and service easily make up for that. We had a group of 7 so our seating arrangement was a tad tight but they made it work. Sapporo beer and Sake helped wash down some of THE best Chinese food we've enjoyed anywhere. Seriously. We had several appetizers and 7-8 dishes and they were all fabulous. From Mama's Famous Pork Buns (you gotta try them) to the Twice Cooked Pork (spicy), the Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Lo Mein, Mama's Special Fried Rice etc, the meal was spot on. Mama has another place opened in the Palace Station Casino which I can only assume is bigger. So next time in town we'll have to go there. China Mama is the real deal.

Good fortunes!
Nica L.

SOOO yummy! Had shrimp fried rice (honestly, it was just so-so) ginger scallion fish filet (OMG SO GOOD) honey walnut shrimp (delicious) and roasted duck (delicate and nice.) Erika was super sweet and helpful-- excellent customer service! Sure, it's a really small space, but it's also a nice place to sit and enjoy high quality food. Great people, too. Highly recommend this location!

The shrimp were fine, but the pan roast was so rich and heavy that it became hard to eat after a few bites. It felt more overwhelming than comforting. Dessert didn't help. The cheesecake came out straight from the fridge and was so cold it was firm and difficult to enjoy. Cheesecake should be creamy, not something you have to wrestle with. Service was also very slow since it looked like only one server was trying to take care of the whole floor, which made the wait time drag. Not terrible, but for a place built around indulgent seafood and comfort flavors, the execution and service just didn't land.

We'd requested a booth when making the reservation and were ushered to a very nice corner location with subdued but adequate overhead lighting. Although there were two large groups in the middle of the restaurant and background music was playing, noise levels were not disruptive, probably due to dampening by to the open ceiling. Overall, the vibe was lively and warm. Started with shopska and melitzano salads and purlenka, all of which were excellent. My companion had a half liter of the house red which, while costing less than one glass of wine at most decent restaurants, was quite drinkable and well complimented the food -- wish more restaurants would offer house wines in carafes. I enjoyed sipping the more traditional rakia throughout the meal. My partner had the beef filet kabobs which were a perfect medium as ordered, tender, well seasoned, with good beef flavor. She also enjoyed the accompanying salad which was extremely fresh. I had the mixed grill with which they graciously substituted a lamb chop for the standard pork chop. All the sausage components were very tasty, especially when complimented with dabs of the included lutenitza. Only negative was that the lamb chop was tough, gristly, and fatty -- I should have stuck with the pork chop. Servings were large, we both were unable to finish our entrees, and departed with leftover boxes. Always room for desert, however, and we devoured the delicious biscuit cake. Final impressions; great place with a lively atmosphere, excellent food and drink at very affordable prices with outstanding service. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Chef SJ recently joined the team and we also tried his food before, really good. My fave is the ocean trout crudo which they top with hot oil, not to be missed.

That said, the experience didn't live up to expectations. Our bill came out to around $800, and unfortunately the service really took away from the night. Our server was kind, but clearly overwhelmed and unable to keep up with her tables. Drink orders were forgotten multiple times (at least 3-4), and we were never checked on--not even once after our food arrived, despite a couple of dishes missing the mark. Drinks regularly took 20+ minutes, and we ended up going to the bar ourselves a few times just to follow up. For a restaurant at this price point, you expect a much higher level of service. It's a beautiful place with a lot of potential, but the service issues made what should have been a special celebration pretty disappointing.

Walked in to a Bob Marley "Waiting in Vain" cover and already knew the atmosphere was gonna be solid. Didn't even realize they had Filipino dishes on the menu so we had to try the pork sisig. As a Filipino, I'd say it was good, just a little sweeter and heavier on the mayo than what I'm used to, but still enjoyable. We got Combo 1 with 1lb shrimp and 1/2lb crab legs in the signature Cajun medium sauce plus a side of the Cajun coconut sauce. The Cajun coconut was easily the winner for me, actually so good. Shrimp was a little overcooked and harder to peel, but overall still hit the spot. Added one of each add-on too. For starters, the chili BBQ seasoned fries instantly reminded me of Potato Corner, so now I know where to fix that craving late night. The ceviche was also surprisingly one of the better ones I've had, super flavorful and a solid portion for 2 people. Drinks were the lychee margarita and passion fruit margarita, both really good. Only downside was the drinks took a while and we had to remind our waitress since our food came out before they did. Overall though, the atmosphere, music, food variety, and late night vibe definitely made this place worth it. Would come back again!

The comedy lineup was amazing and honestly made the whole experience so fun and memorable. Even though they forgot one of our food orders and no water was served to our table or follow-up was made to check if we needed anything afterwards, we still had a really good time because the atmosphere and performances were enjoyable. The reason I removed one star was not because of the comedians or the show itself, but due to an uncomfortable interaction regarding one of the tickets. Another group of BTS fans had an extra ticket they couldn't use, so they kindly gave it to my cousin rather than letting it go to waste. While I completely understand if the policy did not allow the extra ticket to be honored, the situation could have been handled more respectfully. Unfortunately, the Filipino lady working there (possibly a server or owner, though I'm not entirely sure) made us feel as though we were not being truthful about where the ticket came from, even after we explained that it had been given to us by another group who could not use it. A little more understanding and professionalism in that interaction would have made the experience much better overall. Before the show: Love the whole atmosphere and the food options , not to mention they did a remix of food choices so nothing can go wrong. Service was quick in the beginning and they were able to accommodate our group so quickly. I'll update more because we are about to watch the show that came with our bts ticket . It was around $40 for early bird and comes with drink and appetizer which is great deal and a show now that's a deal we can't miss!!
