We just moved to Irvine and nobody has time to cook when you're tired from hauling heavy stuff around. We were in the mood for noodles, this popped up and offered delivery. We ordered the orange chicken, broccoli beef and Kung Pao delight, which was a blend of chicken, beef and shrimp in the amazing taste of Kung Pao stir fry. The entrees came with white rice but we choose Fried rice on one to try it out and it didn't disappoint. The order of noodles was also good because they were tossed in some sort of soy sauce mix and were darker than most noodles we've tried. The estimated time of delivery was about 25-30 minutes and it was delivered in time. Very authentic food and will definitely order from here again. read more

Small, family run traditional Chinese restaurant. In a rather run of the mill strip mall But this isn't your ordinary mall food. Oh no, it's delicious. We ordered the shrimp fried rice and beef and broccoli, two mainstays. The servings were plentiful and the taste, yummy! The beef was very tender and the plates came right off the grill. I'd definitely come back! read more

Please never go here and waste your money. We went here tonight. Use the coupon in the book we get in our mail got the family meal the Mongolian beef tea roadkill the orange chicken tasted awful and my rice was undercooked. The beef tasted so bad that I hope I'm not gonna get sick or my rest of my family members, but I had to suck on the lifesaver peppermint to get the nasty flavor out of my mouth please and then you guys go here. I just called right now to try to get her money back and the guy won't budge so please don't waste your money going here. It's a waste of money, especially in this economy struggling. read more

Gosh where do I begin. I ordered food off of Chow Now because I received a flyer in the mail and though, why not try something Local. Ordering food was fine I ordered a family meal with orange chicken, orange beef, plain fried rice and wontons and then , a side order of egg flower soup and chicken chow mein. I get a call from the delivery guy that I NEED to come downstairs and get my food, no big deal, people get lost in this apartment complex all the time, so I go downstairs with my 8yr old to pick up the food from the driver. Upon meeting with the driver, he starts telling me that why did I leave him such a small tip, becoming argumentative and super hostile, he scared my son so we went back inside. On TOP of that, I got inside and the rice is missing. I send a complaint through the ChowNow and they call me to ask what happened. I repeat everything and they get me on a three way call with the manager of the restaurant, Ricky. Ricky was not rude, but didn't really seem to want to lose any money. Our conversation consisted of a lot of awkward silence and "oh I'm sorry, really? Are you sure they forgot the rice? The driver was probably upset because it's been a busy day. If you want I can re deliver the rice (which would have arrived well after dinner) or I can refund you the cost of a fried rice. " I opted for the refund because obviously, why should I pay for something I didn't receive. Furthermore, we get off the phone, my family sits down to eat and all the food is super super oily/greasy, like they were in a rush to get it out and sent it out straight from the oil to the plastic containers they came in. No one ate their food, so again, not only did I waste my time waiting for the food, I got a hostile delivery person and my food order wasn't complete on top of the food not being good. It's disappointing, and literally money thrown away because we had to throw all the food away. I won't ever order from here again or recommend this place to anyone. read more

Terrible service. I e been coming here for almost 10 years. In the last 6-8 months, every time I've ordered delivery they have been over an hour late. The last time I ordered I called and they said the delivery person left 20 minutes ago and should be there in 15-20 min. No thanks. I paid $130 I do not want cold Chinese food. I'll never go back read more

I ordered for delivery combination fried rice and stir fry green beans that comes with rice. Paid $37 and rice came out halfway cook. I called to let them know but they start telling me that they cook rice every day and that is how it is. I'm Asian and knows how cook rice. I brought it back and they don't want to replace it with what I want. So they said they will replace it with chow mien. What a waste of money. Did not get any apologies from this guy. Acting rude. What's up with that? When in fact I am a a regular customer there. First time I complained about their food and that is what I got. Lesson learned. So I paid $37 dollars for the replacement chow mien. They tricked me with the chow mien they gave me. It's just noodles with soy sauce. Trash they go read more

Fantastic food!! The vegetable egg roll is my favorite. Simple flavoring and fresh ingredients. You can taste the freshness of the vegetables. Definitely my go-to place！ read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!! Call Wok Hei instead!! I always get menus from this place so decided to give them a chance. After ordering, I noticed the the bill was 30% more than what their website quoted. I called them to ask and have it adjusted but they informed me the website has the "old graphic" and the price changed. I told them they should honor their website price (which also matches their menu) and they simply said "sorry we can't override the price" I'm sorry but you're spending so much money advertising then charge different prices than one your menu and on your website... and it wasn't a small difference... $57 vs $81. I ended up cancelling my order and called Wok Hei, better food, cheaper, and even ordered more. Don't waste your time. read more

I ordered chicken egg foo Yung and When I received it they were like 3 little bricks in there in the container and I just couldn't believe that they sold me dry dry it was so dry it was ridiculous couldn't even eat it I spent $42 there for fried rice as well. Rice was old and it wasn't even edible I just wasted money at this China West express which I don't recommend to anyone at all. I should have known when I called and asked can they make egg foo yung she put me on hold for a long time and then came back and said yes they can make it I should have known then because it was the worst I've ever had in my entire life read more

This is a place that you should order takeout. The dining room only has a few tables and it's in a kind of ghetto plaza. The cooks were also yelling at each other in Chinese. I ordered shrimp fried rice and egg rolls. You get a large portion of rice, and roughly a dozen shrimp. The rice was piping hot and oh so good. The egg rolls were decent as a starter. I want to try other menu items to see if they are as yummy as the rice. read more

We heard about this place from our friends. We ordered Kung Pao Shrimp and Chow Fun from their lunch menu. We also ordered additional fried rice and BBQ Pork Spareribs. The gentleman who took our order was polite and repeated back our order. We had a coupon for free delivery. He told us it would take 30 - 45 minutes but it was delivered within 15 - 20 minutes. The food was delicious and the lunch portions were sufficient. We had enough food to last us a couple of days. read more

Quick, hot, and large portions. Not the best Chinese food, but cheap. My husband liked it. The mopo tofu is meatless...

The dining environment in this restaurant is very poor, with stains and oil stains on the tables and chairs. That cashier woman will ask you for a tip, but she has no sense of service and won't even give you a glass of water. read more

Yuuuuummmy!! LOVE this place. House Chow Mein, Honey walnut shrimp Best Chinese takeout!!!! read more

The food was just ok. Portions were average. I will probably not go back as there are better Chinese restaurants out there.

Their promo codes on coupons do not work tried to order for our office today, food might be good but just changed our minds once their own coupons wouldn't work, says a lot about a business to me. Update, contacted kindly by restaurant that sometimes there is just glitches or errors with coupons, tried again today for office 9 days later and their coupons that are supposed to be good until 8/15/22 still don't work. read more

China West Express - Lol 8 Steamed Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - Tustin, California

Single worst "chinese" food experience of my life. Food was made without any care whatsoever. Served a sweet and sour chicken that was all fried batter with no chicken inside and one single scrap of dried out white meat chicken inside just one piece. I wrote a longer and more eloquent review highlighting some other egregious missteps as well as a few compliments, but it didn't post. If you order from this place, you are truly eating at your own risk. read more

By far the best Chinese food I've had EVER. The orange chicken was and the house fried rice tasted home made like they throw some TLC in their dishes. One of my favorite appetizers to order when getting Chinese are the cream cheese wontons, these were outstanding best I've had. It's a little of a drive for us but worth it. Wish I could leave 10 stars read more

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY FROM THIS PLACE! They tell you the food will come at a certain time and it doesn't. The person on the phone does not know who is driving your food to you and it takes her 17 minutes to figure it out. They rely on a 3rd party for delivery so you are better off using the 3rd party yourself. It has currently been 1 hour and 27 minutes since we ordered, and 28 minutes past the time they quoted for the delivery, on a Monday afternoon. They offered me a free soda for my inconvenience. read more

0/5 stars. We ordered the eggplant and fish with black bean sauce. The eggplant was extremely oil and basically flavorless. You could tell the eggplants were very old and not fresh. It is the worst Chinese style eggplant fish I have ever had. The fish was also flavorless and instead. The soupy broth tasted as if it had been made a week ago. There were hardly any pieces of fish and the fish that was there was extremely mushy and bland. I would be embarrassed to serve this kind of food out of my kitchen. I highly recommend that you try another place. read more

So, people are angry at the prices!?!. Have you been to a supermarket lately? 70%, 30% Hamburg has jumped from $6.99 to $11.99 at Albertsons on Newport. China West Express has its ups and downs. But what restaurant doesn't? Our experience has been 90% positive. Tip: If you see a little red chili pepper in the mix, don't eat it and then complain about the heat. You can't continue eating it, but you do; that's on you. You are not the victim if you continue eating it. If orange chicken is too hot and spicy, you can ask not have put chili in the dish. Next time order sweet and sour chicken. read more

I walked in and placed an order for takeout. There is a sign that says "we don't serve fast food we serve fresh food as fast as we can" or something like that. I ordered shrimp chow mein and in about 2 minutes it was ready...seemed odd that something cooked fresh would be ready so quickly. The food was OK, but disappointing. It was cheap greasy chow mein you would get at any hole in the wall for way less, and about 5 bland shrimp for $15. Menu said $10.99 but a small sign is posted stating "prices have gone up". I would not return. Mediocre for the price and quality. read more

This place has amazing food 5 stars there! But every time I call and order there seems to be a disconnect with the front to the cooks. I waited 25 minutes for my food today after I phone ordered. A lady came in and ordered 7 lunch specials and still go her food before I did. I asked several times if my order was ready and it wasn't until I asked the 5th time that I actually got my order. I want to continue to eat at China west as the food is amazing but the wait time needs to be corrected. This affects my lunch time. read more

This place is HORRIFIC. Don't waste your money. Chicken lettuce wraps, eggplant, chow mein, sautéed vegetables....it was all disgusting. No redeeming qualities. Please search elsewhere for Chinese food. read more

I left at 6:00 am from June Lake, CA to grab stuff from my house nearby today. I arrived at 2:00, place my order of several items, asked if they'd be so kind to wrap the ENTIRE order in foil because I had a 6 hour drive home, they said 15 minutes, filled my gas tank at speedy gas, and it was done in 10 minutes wrapped in foil and ready to go. Keep in mind, I live in a very remote area just south of Yosemite, it's pretty far away. I arrived home at 8:00 on the dot, food STILL WARM and am eating it as we speak here in June Lake,CA. Thank you for years of your incredible food and OUTSTANDING food service. Update : it's so good a bear came by our house. read more

We love China West Express! They are in our rotation of takeout meals but especially a go to when we are arriving back from a trip. Last night, I accidentally ordered pickup but we would never make it prior to closing. I called to cancel since I would not make it in time and the man who answered said they could deliver it instead. We didn't get home until about an hour after it arrived but it was still delicious! Chow fun chicken, wonton soup, cream cheese wontons and cashew chicken. The mu shu pork is amazing too! Highly recommend. read more

I don't know what happened to the business, but recently, when I ordered the usual, there was practically no protein in my dish - it was mainly vegetables. I called to report the problem, and they kindly offered a credit on my next order. When I placed another order, advising them of my credit they told me that they were aware of the credit. I placed the exact same order and picked up the food. Everything seemed fine, but then a few hours later I had an upset stomach. I practice intermittent fasting, so I didn't have breakfast or lunch and can of course, only pin point the problem to the food from this establment. I had the upset stomach through the following afternoon. Even though I've been a customer here for a few years, I don't know if I'll be coming back. read more

Literally takes an hour for food to be prepared for delivery. I'm 2.5 miles away. Literally, 2.5 miles away and it's gonna take 15 mins on top for delivery. This is a small order as well. Very unhappy. I hope the food is good or there will be another negative review. Overall, the food was okay. Not a lot of flavor. It took overall an 1.5 hour for food to door. They charge $1.50 for a can soda. It's on the pricey end $$. read more

Delivery took well over an hour and was 25 minutes past the estimated delivery time. The order was missing the fried rice that was ordered and paid for. The chow main was basic. read more

If you call them directly, they'll deliver via the restaurant and not a third-party (like Grubhub). Great food, solid prices, quick delivery times and good portions. Was VERY happy with this restaurant, and they're going on our shortlist for repeat business. read more
