I just ate here for the first time, and I'm amazed at how good the Moo Goo Gai Pan was. So fresh with so many fresh, crunchy vegetables. I'm beyond happy to have this place so close to home. read more

I have been trying to find a good Chinese restaurant since I've moved here 5 years ago and I'm so incredibly happy I found it!!! Their beef with broccoli is so delicious we ask for it to be spicy and YUM!! The vegetable lo mein is SOOOO good, along with the Kung pao chicken. These are our go to! I'm sure I'll try other items on the menu once we get sick of this but for the time being we're happy. We order at least once a week from evergreen and I'm just ecstatic we have a regular spot now!! read more

This was really great! I have tried many Chinese food restaurants across Nashville and this was the best. I will be back. The general tso chicken was delicious and had the right amount of heat. The house fried rice and lo mein had generous amounts of meat. The spring rolls were also great. Food was very hot when I arrived. The staff was friendly. Finally, they are taking COVID-19 very seriously and kitchen was visibly very clean. read more

The first time I ordered from this restaurant it was great! The sauce was flavorful, veggies fresh, and tofu crispy. I ordered again... vegetable moo goo hai pan and the sauce was terrible. I thought I was a one time problem as the first time was so good. So I returned the next day and got a lunch version. When I got home it was the same horrible taste... sour and acrid. I drive back and showed this photo of the first night's meal in the trash and brought the sauce bsck and asked for them to taste it and tell me if it was right. They didn't but made a new sauce which I tasted before leaving. Same thing. The lady there said the owner will not refund if the food has a problem, and that there are several cooks and depending on who is working the cause can taste completely different! No matter how tasty a place might be one time, if a restaurant cannot maintain consistency then it is not for me. This is a basic, common moongoo gai pan sauce not sinerhibgvugsususl. And the refusal to taste the sauce or refund just added to the negative situation. If you are in to spinning a wheel and seeing if you get a good meal, go for it. If you prefer a place that you can count on for a delicious meal, this is not the place. read more

Evergreen Express Chinese Restaurant - rice and vegetables in a bag - Chinese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Staff is super friendly even with issues when BeyondMenu was broken. Had to fight horrible with BeyondMenu but evergreen express was wonderful. Food is always great. Will order takeout again but via PHONE. read more

This is our go to take out food place in Nipper's Corner, about a mile from our house. I bet we've gotten takeout from here at least 50 times in the last 10 years or so - - - always good & plentiful. You can split the Triple Crown for about $13 total. Rock solid. read more

I ordered pickup through Yelp, and my food was ready as soon as I arrived. The cashier was very nice (she even let me swap out my canned pop for a bottled one, which I know is more expensive). The food is okay. Steamed rice is good, I like the crab Rangoon's because their crispy and not soggy. The orange chicken was a little disappointing, though. The breading is weird, and there's not a lot of meat. They kind of look like mini corn dogs or something... I would go again since it was cheap and quick, but I definitely would try something other than the orange chicken. read more

Evergreen Express Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I've been looking for a local Chinese ToGo and delivery restaurant since I moved to the area. Finding a place where I really enjoy my favorite dish and my partner can really enjoy his too is often difficult. And then hoping they're consistent is another thing altogether. I ordered from Evergreen Express one weekend (the Moo Goo Gai Pan) and it was perfect. Clean, succulent, tasty , full of mushrooms and other wonderful veggies. He ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and really enjoyed it. The price was right too. We turned around and ordered again the very next day. This will definitely be our go-to! read more

Great spot for take-out! The food is tasty and the price point is perfect. It's a great local spot for takeout Chinese. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. Highly recommend for takeout Chinese read more

Terrible! The people were nice and friendly! Thats the only positive! This was my second time having it. This time was even worse. It really is a glorified panda express. I kept biting into my general tso's to see if i could locate actual meat. I was highly disappointed! Its travesty that most of these places get away with deep frying frozen battered chicken and coating it with high fructose corn syrup and serving it with rice and charging 12 dollars for it!! This actually deserves 0 stars but they force to to pick at least 1. Terrible!! read more

The teriyaki chicken is my favorite. My order is always correct and hot! I could also live off of their egg drop soup! The best deals are their lunch deals! Its filling and I always have more left over for the next day. read more

Been eating here for 13 years... at least every other week when I lived in a condo down the road from this location. Nothing fancy about it. Your typical southern American Chinese take out/dine in restaurant. Though, it does seem like they put a little extra effort into the flavors of their food. Which if you've eaten from the majority of these type places in Brentioch/Brentwood you would know that's a big thing. I still go when ever I'm in the area. The "Wonderful Shrimp" with Lo Mein side is my favorite dish. The owners and employees are always delightful and I used to be on a first name basis with them. read more

We typically order from China Wok, but since they are closed on Sundays, we tried Evergreen. We got the General Tao Chicken and the Sesame Chicken with fried rice. They prepared our to-go order in under 15 minutes. Servings were large as expected. Overall the food was pretty good. read more

Poor quality and taste. Having lived in the Nipper's Corner area for more then a decade I have seen the area grow and begin to look more of an extension of Brentwood then of Antioch. With this shift new restaurants and stores continue to revitalize the area once home to a run down theater. Through this growth one thing has always bothered me: Why is Evergreen Express still in business? About once a year I fool myself into thinking maybe things are better but year after year they continue to disappoint me at Evergreen Express. My most recent experience was with both the Sesame Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken. Both where poor in regards to flavor and as quality goes neither order had a single piece of white meat. This has been my experience over the years. Each time trying a new item on the menu and each time wishing I had driven a few more miles to another spot. Their only saving grace is the egg rolls which are more of the Tai variety then the traditional ones you get at takeout places. Maybe I am spoiled by the quality of other establishments but after 10 years and 10 tries I am done. read more

American Chinese food by the numbers: what else did you expect? It's one of the better Chinese takeout places in the greater Brentwood area; they have decent hours, they cook your food seriously fast, and they are relatively inexpensive. A couple of notes: Egg rolls= spring rolls here at Evergreen Express. Adjust your expectations and you won't be disappointed. They do have pretty good General Tso's chicken and that's about all it take for me to like a Chinese place. Too many Chinese takeout joints have difficulty with this dish; it's often overcooked, too sweet, and served with very little broccoli. Evergreen also serves theirs with very little broccoli, but at least it's spicy and usually cooked properly. No steamed/fried dumplings?! Wahhh! This would almost be a deal breaker if it wasn't for their General Tso's being so good. In short, it's a typical strip mall Chinese takeout place...maybe slightly better than typical. read more

2.5 Stars Okay, so obviously this isn't Mr. Chow, or some other extravagant chinese restaurant, but it isn't terrible. My husband and I have been looking for a quick, take-out kind of chinese place since we moved to Nashville 2.5+ years ago, but for some reason have had no luck. No delivery? Only buffets? So weird. Anyway, we tried this place for the first time last night, and it was about what I expected from looking at the outside and inside. Yes kids, I judged a book by its cover: Not great. But gets the job done. I ordered the Sesame Chicken with white rice, and my husband got the Jalapeno Chicken with mushrooms and white rice. My dish was...fine. Typical breaded chinese chicken with orange-y sauce and sesame seeds on top. My husbands was a "7 out of 10." It was spicy (which is almost always a requirement for him), and while there wasn't anything "super special" about it, it got the job done. The rice was a little too steamed, so it was clumped together. Overall, we'd probably go again if we craved chinese food and were too lazy to drive anywhere (this is walking distance from our home) - but, we are from CA, and Nashville just got a Panda Express in the 100 Oaks area, so we may make the extra effort and hit that up instead. :) read more

The sesame chicken was 98% fried dough and 2% chicken. Genuinely terrible and I feel terrible for eating as much of it as I did. I'm sure some of their food is better but the sesame chicken is a 0/10 would never buy again. read more

Evergreen Express Chinese Restaurant - You can barely tell because theres so little of it, but there is a little chicken right in the middle there. But mostly breading - Chinese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I ordered the Mongolian Chicken. It was some of the worst food I've ever had. There were a few tiny pieces of breaded chicken in the dish that resembled chicken skin. The fried rice was white rice with a little coloring, but no flavor. The spring roll was all wrapper and no filling. Pass this place up if you can!!! Definitely not worth the stop. I have no idea how they are in business??? read more

I yelped for the closest Chinese food. Stopped here & ordered To Go. Sweet lady took my order & I decided to sit down & take a few bites before driving back to the office. So much for that. I ate all of it before leaving. No frills. Just good food! & nice folks! read more

Is it possible to have worse Americanized-Chinese food? I think not! Wife and I tried it out a few months back for a quick rainy Saturday take out. I ordered the Mongolian chicken which was a puddle of oil with onions and a few pieces of chicken. My wife ordered a garlic-chicken dish that was bland and again contained little chicken. Today I wanted some take out and didn't want to drive far as I am working and thought I'd give them a go again. I ordered the hot and sour soup and a side of fried rice. The soup was bland and "gummy". Upon opening the container it reaked of a garbage can. Assuming it was shrooms of some type I dove in. NEVER again will I eat Hot & Sour soup. This ruined it for me. The "fried rice" was a globbed container formed bland mess. For crying out loud this didn't even taste like RICE! The staff/owners are as friendly as can be and I would love to continue to support a local business especially since they are 2 minutes from my house but never again Evergreen. NEVER EVER AGAIN will I eat at your establishment. The saying "You pay for what you get!" most certainly applies to this business. Its dirt cheap, but the taste reflects that! I should have driven up to Thai Papaya. Now I know. read more

A few years ago my fiance showed me Evergreen Express. Then i thought it was pretty tasty, but in the last couple of years, things have changed. We always ordered the jalapeño chicken and the orange chicken. The sauces were flavorful and the chicken was fried, but not breaded. Last time I ordered the jalapeño chicken, it was downright slimy. The sauce tasted more like a pepper chicken. For the orange chicken, They switched to using the heavily breaded, processed chicken that you see used with sweet and sour sauce. I took a bite and could barely see the chicken nugget under all that bread! The sauce also tastes like it has changed, but can't put my finger on how. Overall, my last meal there tasted very processed. Also, just a little warning, they don't serve egg rolls. They list egg rolls on the menu, but they are actually spring rolls. read more

I found this place on yelp and wanted to give it a try, I really love Kung pao chicken taste amazing, the service is great too i will come back again read more

I am moving to Green Hills in Nashville next month but I will definitely continue to order take out from this little gem! read more

The cashier is always nice, and she gives a very good description of any menu item with no hesitation or irritation. The vegetable Lo Mein is well seasoned , not too greasy. Also, the General Tso's Tofu and Veggie Delight ,and the spring rolls are pretty flavorful. The prices are decent especially for the amount of food they give. The service is fast,and food taste fresh. read more

Delicious food to go and great service tonight when I placed the order. Shrimp with vegetables in garlic sauce and added chicken! read more

Evergreen Express Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Evergreen express makes the best Wanton soup ever and anytime my family and I are sick, we order the soup(with spicy mustard) and it truly is a wonderful remedy. Well today I am home alone and order the soup and alas my car will not start. They found out I was sick and are not a custom to driving but for a rare exception they got in the car and delivered my food. This showed me that they care about their customers. These people truly know the art of customer service. Of all the Chinese express this is the BEST! I will go no where else but Evergreen express. read more

Best crab rations ever! The rest is fairly good chinese food, not the best by for what mid Tennessee has to offer I prefer them. Super fast for pickups too! read more

Good food/great price & very friendly owners/staff. They serve lunch/dinner size portions & through the week you can order either size day or night. My roommate & I will order the dinner size on weekends & it's plenty of food to split between the 2 of us. My fav dish is the teriyaki chicken w/steamed rice & hot/sour soup. The spring rolls are good too. read more

This place shows up under delivery yet it does not deliver. This is a huge waste of time.................. ....m read more

It was my first time going in there and probably my last time. Food was not good; rice tasted like fish. Chicken was OK. Also, I'm pretty sure the cashier was clipping her fingernails behind the register. :/ read more

Most Chinese restaurants are pretty similar, but Evergreen is just better than all the rest. Very good teriyaki chicken and shrimp lo mein! Usually pretty quick, and not very pricey. read more

I love going to this place. It's not the best Chinese in the world, but I can count on it being hot, fresh, and flavorful. I always know I'll have too much and have enough food for a late night snack later. It's also always quick and easy . No complaints ever! read more

One of the most consistent American Chinese restaurants in Nashville. It's the same every time. Call your family's order in and it's ready in 15-20 minutes without fail. read more

I looooooove this place! I pick up food here almost weekly. My favorite dish is their Mei Fun noodle dish- soooo good. Please note: the lady writes the order in Chinese......too legit! read more

Kung Pao Chicken was really good. I find myself craving it ever since I've gotten it. I just wish they utilized the peanuts a little bit more. The rice is great. Not over cooked. The food came out fast as promised. I wouldn't expect anything less from a family owned Chinese place. Although,they do not have chicken on a stick so if you're craving that then go somewhere else read more

Too hard to deal with...thought they did deliveries...evidently through a service. When I asked the lady at the restaurant what it would cost, she said to call the company...Certainly not like the old days...absolutely will NOT EVER,EVER,EVER going through a delivery company. False advertising via yelp. read more

I have been a customer at this Evergreen since the day it opened. I have moved to 4 states but my family lives across the street from here and I love it! I have not had decent Chinese food since I left Brentwood and my beloved Evergreen Express. The only place that comes close to this is Pei Wei. All the Chinese food I had in Georgia and Florida was nasty. Burnt, greasy, or cooked in Rancid oil and believe me I tried every single place within a 20 mile radius from my house. I eat out every single day so I feel as if I know what I'm talking about. Evergreen rocks the people with bad reviews might just be extra picky but after going through the awful places I've been you would appreciate the heck out of Evergreen. 5 stars from me. I love the Teriyaki Chicken, the Sesame Chicken is my favorite, their noodles are alriiiight, and their sweet and sour is delicious but the Mongolian chicken is the bimbamshizshamshazzle or in other words AMAZING. -Sincerely a FAT but happy customer- read more

I only go here when my boss pays, and I usually just get wonton soup and an egg roll. I've tried some of the other dishes, but they aren't good. I would much rather drive a little farther and get some quick Asian food from King Market. read more

I used to like this place and the food. They are pricey compared to other Chinese places. Their kung pao chicken was great but not sure what happened. These days quality has gone down. I no longer go there. Sorry but true. read more
