Stars are for the FRIED FISH and. Customer service only. I wish this place was open longer AND open on Sundays. Parties happen on Sundays too guys the salt and pepper fish fry?? Omgggg deliciousssss. I've had this from other Chinese restaurants but this one tastes a hell of a lot better than all the other ones. They make it so fresh that it's hard not to eat while driving. My husbands family are all from the south. At the last party, his 78 year old grandma cried saying "it's just like daddy used to make it". She immediately told her sister. I wish they had another location. Had to coordinate to have this picked up coming from Fairfield. Ambiance- not much ambiance here. Very straight forward. No sit down area, everything is to go. The area is not the best so I can't fault them to keeping it to the essentials of food business. I grew up in Vallejo and coming here used to not feel unsafe but unfortunately it is what it is now. Still, very good customer service here. read more

Combo Express - Catering menu - Seafood Near Me - Vallejo, California

I was intrigued by the size of the egg rolls on line so I came to check them out. One roll is $3.25 but the size is worth the price. I would have like it to have a little more flavor in the mix a little more black pepper could have given it that extra pinch of flavor. But overall it was cooked to perfection and not oily at all. They were super friendly and took my order right away. I got the combo plate half and half with beef and broccoli and spicy chicken. It's your little hole in the wall joint that has good size servings when you want quick cheap Chinese. I want to try the walnut shrimp next time. I had my husband and baby waiting for me in the car so I only got what they had available. Definitely would try it again if I'm back in the area. read more

One of our local favorites. Been coming here since I was little and they always stay consistent. Food taste great,always so generous with serving and you can't beat the price. $10-$11 for plates that is full to the top. We also use them for parties. Their party trays are priced well also. Salt pepper chicken,salt pepper fish,smelt fish and even their garlic brocolli is so good to name a few favorite dishes.Only sad part is they are close on Sundays and Mondays. The staff are always pleasant. Today we got one item with half fried rice and half chowmein with beef and brocolli and the other one is two item half and half with sweet sour pork and salt papper chicken all for $ about $24. read more

I can't believe I have never written a review for this place. This Chinese restaurant is the spot to order from for family parties. Best know for their fried chicken with spicy salt trays which is so good and crunchy! Also their combination fried rice, people also order their fried fish, bbq chicken, and honey walnut prawns for parties. They're only takeout and they are always busy. Best to order ahead and allow yourself time to pick up before large parties. I just call to make an order and you pay when you pick up. I wish I could see their prices online or in person for the small and large trays. For a small chicken and small fried rice tray it cost over $100. So large trays are probably about $100. Tastes good and feeds a lot of people. Located in the island pacific plaza, plenty of parking and don't leave anything valuable in your car. read more

Best value of Chinese food in town! Their portion is huge, double size than Panda Express and fresh! I have been a regular customer for many years. Their salt and pepper chicken is very popular! But I also love their salt and pepper fish. You cannot beat the price for a whole plate of fish for less than $20! read more

We love a combo express!! Although I know their food isnt the healthiest option, and i know for a fact there must be msg in their food because of how yummy/salty it can be but it satisfies my cravings so i gotta get it once in a while. If you order a large spicy salt chicken, they put the large takeout box inside a brown bag and not only fill the takeout box but they fill the whole paper bag with spicy salt chicken My favs: spicy salt chicken egg plant tofu chowmein walnut prawns read more

The food was unappetizing no taste in The Salt & Spicy Chicken. In the past it was all white meat now it's full of thigh meat. Glad I only purchased a small order . They need to bring back the Dry Fried Ribs, they have thin sliced pork chops. Dont come as often as I used to now remember why. Previously #2 on my Chinese Food list now not even on the list. Everyone working the counter was unfamiliar so guess new cooks in the kitchen also. read more

I really don't know what the hype about this Chinese food places it is not that good at all first time going there and that will be my last time. No flavor in the food that we got. read more

I stopped by not even 20 minutes after they opened and got some egg rolls. They were COLD and oily. Those were probably from yesterday. Very disappointing read more

Truly a Vallejo gem! The staff is always so nice & generous with their portions, pricing is very reasonable & probably the best pricing you'll find. Party trays of chow mein, fried rice & spicy salt chicken are always a hit at parties! They pack the boxes with so much food, they barely close! They are closed on Sundays, but open Monday - Saturday & they DO take Apple Pay. read more

I stopped by Combo Express after hearing really great reviews from a couple of friends, and Combo Express did not disappoint! I tried; the Pork Chops, Sweet & Sour Pork, Spicy Eggplant, Salt & Pepper Chicken, the Fried Fish & Pot Stickers. Everything was fresh, tasty & delicious! I had company at the house when I bought these items and everyone loved it. I highly recommended! This is a "takeout only" restaurant, there is no seating inside. It's located in a strip mall. You may see some questionable people outside, but don't let that be the reason you don't try Combo Express! You won't be disappointed! :) read more

I catered a party platter of their battered fish. Large is $122 before tax. I think it's a bit too pricey since it is just fish. Granted you do get a lot but still doesn't justify the price. I placed my order I think a week or less in person. Upon pick up time my party tray was ready and it's was warm and crispy. It was a bit on the salty side but still good overall. The employee at the pick up area was very quickly to help me and made the service efficient and quick. read more

I am not exaggerating when I say this is my all-time favorite Chinese takeout restaurant! I grew up eating here, and I'm thrilled that nothing has drastically changed over the years. I'm still so happy to see a line of customers waiting to be served every time I visit--it's proof they're still thriving after all this time! For cheap, tasty food with large serving sizes, Combo Express is the place to go. My go-to combo is half fried rice, half chow mein, salt and pepper chicken, and barbecue chicken. The barbecue chicken is a classic, but the salt and pepper chicken is my absolute favorite. I could snack on it like popcorn chicken from boba shops, but paired with the fried rice? Absolutely delicious! I've also tried other dishes like the beef and broccoli, and everything is consistently great. During holiday celebrations, I often order their party platters--they're very affordable and come in generous portions. I genuinely love this place and always recommend it to people around me. It's well-deserving of a 5-star rating from me! read more

Combo Express is located in the Springstowne Shopping Center. My co-worker has purchased food here to bring to our work potlucks, so I am familiar with some of their dishes. They are know for their Spicy Salt and Pepper Chicken. I ordered the Spicy Salt and Pepper Chicken, Tofu with Eggplant, Chicken with String Beans, Chow Mein and Pot Stickers. Everything was very tasty, but the hit with my family was the Spicy Salt and Pepper Chicken. They do not have any seating to eat in as they are strictly take out only.They do a lot of party trays, so call in ahead of time to order for your next party or potluck. read more

I really wanted to like this place because I heard great things about their salt & pepper chicken. Unfortunately, after eating it, I noticed the meat was pink inside and didn't look or taste like real chicken. About an hour after eating this mystery meat I ended up with a bad stomach ache. I'm honestly disappointed and concerned about what they're serving. read more

Again, this is the best Chinese takeout place ever. Combo plates are unbeatable in size and price. Flavors are consistent for over two decades that I've had the food - orange chicken, barbecue chicken, crispy chicken, chow mein, fried rice, beef broccoli. Although the crispy chicken can sometimes be too salty. Everything I've had is good. I miss the fried crispy anchovies. I hope this place stays open forever. read more

I went there right after lunch They were restocking after the rush. They changed up from lemon chicken to spicey boneless fried chicken. OMG so fresh and good. Tender tasty chicken. I got the small for under $8. Big portions. Also love the fried pork chops. Good food at good prices. All togo. I will be back for that fresh boneless fried chicken. Dining in the parking lot. Yum read more

Always like the way they cook their Chinese food . I always call for pick up.service is fast .

What a pleasant surprise from this hole in the wall spot! This is probably the best Chinese takeout what I've found in Vallejo so far! The Yelp reviews did not disappoint. It is located in the same plaza as Island Pacific and Bank of America. On a weekend around 5pm the line was growing to almost out the door when I went in. Service was very quick and friendly. I ordered the family meal that feeds 2-3 and the beef wonton soup. It was enough food for four people (more specifically two people for two meals). For the combos I got both the chow mein and the fried rice, the potstickers, the spicy salty chicken, and the broccoli beef. Everything was good! They're best known for the spicy salty chicken. IMO it was a lot like popcorn chicken. It wasn't spicy to me. It was more salty and any heat came from the pepper. I really liked the beef wonton soup. They did not skimp on the beef. It was very tender and great on a winter day. Great value and even better taste. This will probably be our go to for Chinese take out going forward! read more

The salt and pepper fish was excellent and so was the chow mein and sweet and sour pork. It's really a to go place but it's really good.

Tucked away in a no-frills strip mall, Combo Express is your classic to-go Chinese food counter. No dine-in vibes here; it's all about grabbing your grub and heading home. Decent pricing. In a sea of overpriced takeout tabs, this place keeps it real--generous portions for pocket-friendly bills. That alone bumps it to four stars; everything else just seals the deal. Standouts include the spicy salt chicken, crispy-edged perfection with that addictive zing of garlic, chili, and sea salt--hands down one of my faves for its bold, finger-licking heat. Paired with the fried spareribs, golden and meaty, it's a combo that hits every craving. Sides like egg rolls and fried rice round out the usual suspects, all fresh and unfussy. Not reinventing the wheel, but for Vallejo's quick Chinese fix, Combo Express delivers without drama. Worth the stop. read more

I have been going to the place for over 10 years... BUT the new owners have made me not want to go back ever again. This is the 2x in a few months to get food and the salt & pepper chicken has given my family & myself horrible stomach aches. I'm not sure if it's real chicken or not but I don't recommend getting it, unless unknown "chicken" is your forte. We also go the chow mien & it is NOT the same as what it was back a few years again, they have a funky after taste to them. We got 2 combos and a large salt & pepper chicken which cost us $40, there was no break down on the receipt either. I'm sad it's not like it use to be but won't be going back. read more

My family and I have been going to combo express for more than 10 years now and we've always had a 5 star experience. This place is a fast food restaurant with no dining in. There are no tables to sit down in. The workers are quick and efficient because the place usually has a line, but it goes by pretty quick. Some of my favorite dishes to order are the chow mein and fried rice, crispy chicken, orange chicken, barbeque chicken, and wonton soup. The chow mein and fried rice are taste a little bland compared to other Chinese restaurants like, but when you pair it with the different flavorful sides, you don't notice it. For $10, you can get a combo plate with an entree and two sides. The workers always fill up my plate so it usually lasts me 2-3 meals. read more

For $10.90 you get a generous amount of 2 items with your choice of fried rice/chowmein or half and half plus two sides. My favorite is the salt and pepper fish which is not on their hot and ready dish and need to order ahead of time(10min wait). Definitely my go to spot for Chinese food! Located just inside the Springstowne Center on Springs Road, next to the Island Pacific Asian Supermarket. Everyone is friendly. Just be patient because at times the lines are long. Worth the wait! read more

Tried Combo Express on a recommendation for takeout lunch. It was perfect! Food was fresh, hot and well seasoned! Service was quick and portions were huge. Restaurant was clean. Sorry for no picture. We had orange chicken, salt and pepper chicken chow mein, fried rice, green beans with chicken, pot stickers and egg roll. Leftovers for dinner. I now have no reason to ever go back to a Chinese fast food large chain after experiencing the great food here. Thank you will definitely be back! read more

Great portions for the price!! Fast service if you're in a rush as the food is already prepared. Unfortunately that's it. The rice and noodles were somewhat plain. The bbq chicken was decent. The chicken with spicy salt had good flavors but it was very salty even for me (I usually like my food salty). read more
