Delicious! I like the orange chicken and the Sesame chicken. The orange chicken is crispy fried chicken covered in an authentic orange sauce. This sesame chicken is crispy chicken pieces tossed in a sweet and savory honey sesame sauce. read more

I walked in around 7:45 p.m. on a Saturday night and there was only one other person in line. That should've been the first red flag. Then, I was shocked at all of the premade items (i.e. plain fried rice, shrimp fried rice, egg rolls, sesame chicken, etc.) behind the case. This was the second red flag. Nevertheless, I waited in line to place my order. There was a gentleman in front of me reviewing the menu and not sure of what to order, so I politely asked the cashier if I could place my order while the other customer was still deciding. He told me, "No," and made me wait until the other guy made up his mind. I thought this was quite rude but remained calm and continued to wait. I ordered the shrimp egg foo yung and it was burnt, dry, and clearly premade. There was no steam/heat/burn marks inside of the styrofoam box and it was ready very quickly. I'm not sure why anyone would precook their menu, but I won't be back. Not only is the cashier RUDE, but the food is very disappointing. I won't be back. I'll stick to the fresh Chinese fare that I'm used to. If you want good Chinese food, go anywhere but here. read more

Some food items are top-notch, some are just OK. I can recommend the fried rice, and Chinatown Express's eggrolls are downright delicious. Their egg foo yung is yummy, as well. In general, I find the chicken dishes to be less than stellar, but hubby loves the bourbon chicken. I've never ordered for delivery, but I can say that carry out is fast, friendly, and efficient. read more

Absolutely terrible! I got the sweet and sour shrimp. The shrimp were the 1/2 size of my little pinky fried with a bunch of dry batter. The fried rice was extremely bland and the egg roll was gross. It took less than 4 minutes for my food to be done. Probably because everything is premade. They had a bunch of premade food. I will never go back' read more

If you are a REAL foodie you take ONE look at their food and you will not want to eat it.. I wish there was a way to give no stars at all.. Promise I don't ever write reviews unless it's extremely warranted.. You can tell few day old rice by the texture because it's been reheated and mixed around so much.. they gave me couple day old fried rice which was hot but then how did I come across a cold piece of chicken in the MIDDLE of my bowl.. I can tell you exactly how. These lazy f**** microwave and reheat old batches of shit to help them on time and money.. My Hunan Chicken was pink.. My wife's shrimp in her lo mein order was white. Very undercooked.. I started thinking about how many other people they decided to serve this trash to and maybe even got worse than I did.. Sad I've run into lazy disgraceful small restaurant businesses like this before.. they hold on to batches longer than they should, they don't refrigerate their meat properly to keep it near by so they can save on time so all their meat is growing bacteria on them (which could kill someone) MAKE SURE TO TAKE A VERY GOOD LONG LOOK AT YOUR MEAT I should've took pictures but a few bites and I knew where that shit belonged.. It sickens me every time I run into mf that chose to feed their neighborhoods and don't take any pride or integrity in what exactly they are serving people.. This is why I usually cook at home now.. My wife even said the lady upfront gave a little attitude because we didn't tip off a pickup order God will handle you exactly how you handling your customers read more

Disappointed in my order, the food was soggy and not flavorful. Save your money and go somewhere else. Will not be back. My coworkers and I were excited for delicious Chinese takeout and were sorry that we ordered from here. read more

Last Sunday we ordered Sweet & sour chicken dinner combination. Egg roll and rice was good, but the chicken is another story, super dry, hard and tasteless. I don't mind tipping, but this place is just a carry out and I was ask if I wanted to leave a tip. The food was ready quite quickly and the workers are pleasant.. not sure if I will order from them again read more

We eat here every once in awhile - I like the rice noodle dish and the coconut shrimp sauce on the side! The food is usually good - I just always get what they can make fresh! read more

We love this restaurant! Best fried rice I've ever had. They use fresh ingredients and we are always very happy with what we order. I especially love their Hot & Sour Soup (lots of mushrooms!) and General Tso's Chicken. read more

This place is pretty good and great prices. I ordered an orange chicken combo and it was delicious, the portions are also extremely generous for the price. It also came with a "shrimp egg roll" they advertise this like they take pride in it however my egg roll had one baby shrimp in it which was a hit disappointing. I'll be back for orange chicken but they can keep their "shrimp egg roll" read more

Ordered Almond Boneless Chicken Dinner takeout with an extra gravy. The extra gravy was missing when I called to let them no I would be coming back for it the manager claimed we weren't charged. Yes we were but not worth arguing with him. Disappointed actually liked the lady who worked the counter but this was unacceptable. Will check out other Chinese restaurants. read more

Never leave reviews but I ordered the crab rangoons and veggie lomein. I had 2 crab rangoons, the second one tasted like literal mold, I got nauseous, but I decided to try a bite of the lomein to see if it was better. It literally had no taste except for maybe a hint of play-dough. I also got food poisoning here and was up all night throwing up. I'm done with Chinese food for a while after getting food here read more

Ordered doordash, it came quick but their general tsaos chicken is the WORSR I've ever had. I'm not picky by any means but it was so greasy, unflavorfull and fatty that I had to throw the entire thing out read more

One my favorite takeout spots during the work week. Priced fairly with high quality food, the menu is expansive including veggie options. I usually get the General Tso's Tofu - comes with white rice (brown is +$1). The portion is hefty, something I have to struggle to finish in one sitting. I usually eat it twice that day while working. The vegetable soup and lo-mein are both delicious as well. The shop is small but they have a couple seats to sit while you wait. The staff is friendly whenever I go in. If you want to add anything or make a change they go with it. The bag is always full of soy sauce and fortune cookies, and I always leave to the employees thanking me for coming in. The bonus is in the online ordering. The process is so simple and easy to get a few orders for different people in the office. You can order through the site and even choose a pick-up time (default is "ASAP"). read more

Food average. When ordering take out, it depends on who you get on the phone as to the level of politeness and customer service you receive. Generally, the phone service is rushed and rude. read more

Order the General Tsao Chicken. Trust me, you won't regret it. This restaurant has the best General Tsao Chicken in like the entire Southfield, Farmington Hills area. The breading, flavor and perfect sweetness is read more

I wish I'd read these reviews before ordering. I got shrimp egg rolls and shrimp pad Thai. The egg rolls were edible - thank goodness - since the pad thai wasn't. It tasted like dog food. I don't have money to get takeout often so this is really disappointing. read more

I visited this place recently because I work near it and was curious about its quality. A quick glance at the menu revealed a couple of moderately interesting veggie options. When I tried to order one, however, the counter person seemed flummoxed that I did not select one of the numbered dishes. Therefore, I settled on the only veg numbered plate: sauteed mixed vegetables. Despite its name, express can be a relative term here, even when ordering by number. The cafeteria appearance of a row of chafing dishes belies that many meals are made upon order (a pleasant surprise, actually). My lunch was serviceable if not sensational: decent, crisp veggies in a standard white sauce, middling fried-cum-steamed rice and a mildly tasty, albeit overly cabbage-laden, spring roll. While I probably won't come here often, Chinatown Express does seem an OK place for fairly quick Chinese food. read more

This place is not good. We ordered two general tso's dinner combinations. The egg rolls were soggy, the chicken was also soggy. The chicken was also delivered cold. The flavor was not bad so if it was fresh it's possible that it could be good however, it was not. 1 Star. read more

Had the Singapore noodles, bourbon chicken, fried rice. Most Chinese restaurants have 3 or 4 dishes they really do well. Most people order these specialties. The really good Chinese restaurants have many more then 3 or 4 really good dinners. Since I did not know there specialties I can only judge by what I ordered. The food was ok but just ok. Not really, wonderful. I would give it 3 stars for the food. The extra stars are for friendliness, quick service, Covid aware. I regret I cannot recommend this take out. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant hands down. Been ordering carry out throughout the pandemic and I am always happy. The selection of food is fantastic. The quality and taste is awesome. I especially appreciate how carefully they wrap and secure to-go orders. Never a spill and always hot. read more

The best tasting Chinese carryout in the area. They give you a bunch of food, it's cheap, and it's quick.

I was very impressed with my lunch, the quality, the portions, were just right. Just like the previous customer said, you have to go see for yourself. read more

Driest, oldest-tasting general Tao's chicken I've ever eaten in my life. I'm scared it gave me food poisoning, honestly.

my chicken lo mein had absolutely no flavor and was just watery noodles and bland chicken. will never be returning

I only take time to share a negative review nowadays since status quo is most businesses try harder. However today I walked into an empty restaurant and ordered a garlic shrimp combination platter and took it home only to find a Szechuan garlic chicken combo instead. Since I have been to this restaurant many times I ignored the strong Chinese accent person at the counter and assumed my order was understood. Since the platter is double wrapped, I was not encouraged to inspect the platter before leaving. All I can say is since there are newer Chinese restaurants closer to my home who have not screwed up my order I do not plan to return. read more

Hands down the most uncomfortable delivery I have ever had. I am a single man, 30, and I was passing out candy for the kids in the neighborhood. The delivery driver was in his late 40's, early 50's and just knocked on the door. Instead of saying he was delivering food, he just said hi and I said "what's up". Then he asked if I had Milky Ways, THEN said "oh, did you order chinese"? I let him have his Milky Ways to get him out of here. The food sucked too. Everything needed to be microwaved because it was cold and the egg drop soup was insanely watered down. Never ordering from this trash dump ever again. read more

Ordered from the lunch menu. Shrimp in lobster sauce with fried rice. It's horrible! Waste of my money. Very salty. No taste and very liquidy. Would never order again. After eating my stomach started turning. I hope I don't get food poisoning read more

I really like this place but i find it hard to give more than 3 stars to a Chinese fast food place. The lady the runs the place behind the counter has an AC/DC shirt, plus one there. 28 items to choose from (but only 3 pots in the back), so you never have to eat the same thing twice in one month. All of those priced under $7 too read more

Chinatown Express - Hot rolls fresh off the egg roll making machine. - Chinese Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

Chinatown Express offers online-ordering, which is not very common for a small business like this. My order wasn't ready at the specified time but they put it together very quickly after I arrived. I like how they shrink-wrapped my takeout order, there's nothing worse than spilling Chinese food on your way home. They offer great lunch specials with combos for less than $7. The pop fountain has seen better days and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time so I'm a little concerned about the cleanliness of the rest of the building. read more

First time getting food here. I got general Tso's chicken and sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. The generals chicken was the best part of the meal, the sweet and sour sauce was lacking flavor, the rice was greasy. My wife got Mongolian beef and she enjoyed it. We shared an egg roll which was ok. My stomach was upset shortly thereafter and the next morning, along with a bad headache the next day (could be a coincidence). There's better Chinese around then this. read more

I wish I would of done a carryout it would of maybe been made to order. The chicken portion had no vegetables mixed in. The chicken had very good flavor, and so did the rice. Rice was a little dry. I would go back again... it was good. read more

Chinatown Express - chicken and rice in a styrofoam container - Chinese Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

Worst Chinese food I've ever had. I bought coconut shrimp & they were awful. All I could taste was old grease. I also got sesame chicken & I have to say Panda Express makes better Chinese food (even though it's Americanized) but still, I miss you dog wouldn't eat the food either. Definitely consider another place to get Chinese. read more

This place has okay Chinese food but expect to wait upwards of 2 hours and then have your order screwed up. Also it's always fun when you call because what you got is disgusting and not what you wanted and they make you feel like it's your fault because you have an old menu and the pictures are wrong. I ended up having to eat the fried rice on the side for dinner. read more

The food took well over an hour to arrive. I called to check manager had to call me back was not very friendly just said order was out. The duck Duce was spilled the containers were breaking and the chicken was mushy from taking so long to arrive. The food was not like it used to be and they put beans in the pepper steak which have never been in there. The food was also only warm. Will not be eating here again read more

Had a deadly craving for Chinese food while stuck at work. Unfortunately for me, this was the only place nearby. I ordered shrimp lo mein which cost me a whopping $9.50. Not terrible, but certainly could've been cheaper for what I received. Anyway I placed an order over the phone, arrived in about 15 minutes, & was out the door quickly. I automatically started judging the place due to the way it looks on the outside & its location. Hopped in my car & the food smelled horrendous... I guess I should've just got out the car & gave it right back while I had the chance but I was too hungry to care. Noodles were PLAIN, shrimp was PLAIN, & at the bottom of the carton there was an accumulation of water. Don't know what that was about, but I'm positive shrimp lo mein is never watery. & another issue is no soy sauce in my bag. If you're gonna give me plain ass food, at least throw something in there I can season it with. Do not waste your money here. That's practically $10 I could've spent on food that would end up in my stomach instead of the garbage. read more

Chinatown Express - Watery shrimp lo mein with NO flavour. Wish I put my $9.50 towards something I didn't throw in the garbage - Chinese Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

I came from China many years ago. I work in Southfield one day out of the week. I usually would skip places that only non-Asian Americans frequent - I never saw any other Chinese customers that came in here. However, I used to come here once a week on days that I work in my office in the neighborhood (but honestly have not been coming for a while due to busy schedule; I have another office in another city). I guess I like the flavors of many of the dishes here. It could be because there are many dishes that Americans could not name, therefore, in my opinion, not that Americanized. In other words, it would cater to the liking of a person of Chinese origin that likes stir-fried dishes with plenty of vegetables and good amount of meat or seafood. Nonetheless, this could be the very reason that many reviewers did not rate it very high - not the kind of food they could name and are used to? The dishes are in very generous quantity too. I happened to come this site when I tried to google the hours of the store - plan to take a few orders for dinner tomorrow - hope they would still be open when I finish up my day's work tomorrow. read more
