    This restaurant is a pretty typical strip mall Chinese food place that serves basic Americanized Chinese food. If you are looking for a quick combo plate than I would recommend it. The boneless pork was very good and the fried rice was decent. The other fried items tasted pretty good but were very greasy. I would also recommend getting takeout since the interior is a bit rundown and the tables are sticky. The staff/owners are quite friendly and the food comes out very quickly

    Love it! My go to Chinese Take-Out! Actually thinking about it now....I may order some tonight...mmmm :) SUPER friendly service, very quick as well. They tell me 20 minutes and my order is usually done within 15. I've tried several different Chinese take outs in Portland and they do not compare. One thing for certain is the price here at Little China Express. Very very fairly priced food. You get some great deals with the combination platters. You gotta try this place out. It's worth it. It reminds me of my favorite Chinese spot back home in Jersey. Great food, great service, great prices! :) This is not a place to sit down and have a family dinner - Little China Express is meant to be for take out!

    Pork fried rice, pork lo mein (no veggies), chicken fingers, white rice, pan fried dumplings and beef with broccoli = delicious takeout!!

    Best Asian food takeout in the Falmouth/Yarmouth area - IMHO. We have never eaten in the restaurant as it is a bit small and worn down, but perhaps wear and tear means, they have been here a long time and have a lot of traffic? Either way, it doesn't doesn't affect the rating, after I am hear for the food, not furniture shopping :) If you do happen to dine in, there is WiFi and they publish the password on the wall near the drink cooler. Convenient and this tells me, they are rushing people out of the door. On the same sign, they welcome and request your feedback on how they are doing, they truly do want to be sure that you are happy with the food. The other night my husband picked up his food and they said they had someone new cooking and they wanted to be sure we let them know if we weren't happy. The owner/worker(?) said he thought the food was good, but he wanted to be sure we thought so ok. It was great! Here are the dishes we usually get and LOVE: the lo mein with beef, no veggies; beef with broccoli; curry chicken fried rice, chicken fingers, and dumplings. So consistently good for us. We always call our order in and it is all fresh and ready within 25 minutes. We have never had any ordering issues and there is plenty of food for everyone, with all of the sauces and loaded of fortune cookies! Located in a strip with other businesses, right off of Rt. 1 intersection of Middle Rd and Portland St. Plenty of parking at the end of the plaza. The owners(?) seems so nice and are always so busy at the register and on the phone. We hope they continue to stay in the area and run this restaurant. We Love Little China Express. :)

    While I'm not exactly the most familiar with the food scene in Portland, I do have some level of…read morefamiliarity with authentic Chinese cuisine, and I can say with the utmost confidence that Sichuan Kitchen is some of the best I've tasted thus far. The restaurant is small, relatively quiet and decorated nicely. The service was very friendly. The menu seems to be very focused, showcasing a handful of shareable plates, vegetarian items, rice/noodle dishes and entrees with authentic Szechuan flavors. Boyfriend got spicy noodles and I got braised beef noodles. We also got a side of their homemade chili oil, and in response to this the server asked us if we wanted our meals to be extra spicy. How could we turn that offer down? As soon as that bowl of noodle soup came out, I knew I was in for a great meal. It smelled intoxicating. It was the angriest shade of red possible, which is exactly what I like to see when I'm eating something supremely spicy. The broth and chili oil were both full of flavor, the beef was tender and the noodles had a delightfully chewy texture. Taking everything into account, Sichuan Kitchen served me one of the most memorable dishes I've ever had. There's really no other way to put it. If you're in the area and you find yourself craving the authentic numbing spicy flavors of Szechuan Chinese food, Sichuan Kitchen is the answer.

The interior is pleasant with decorative paper lanterns on the ceiling giving the impression of "pillowy clouds". My two sons enjoyed the Zhong Dumplings (delicious mix of sweet and savory), which was the highlight of the meal. We also had 2 orders of the soup noodles with minced pork and 1 order of the braised beef noodles. A dish we shared was the fried green beans (which was very tasty). However, the soup dishes were slightly too salty. Also, the quantity of beef was slightly less than I had expected. That said, the service was attentive, and excellent (before the 6pm rush). Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would dine here again.

We came in on Saturday night knowing we would have to wait so we went to the bar. They had a special cocktail that night and it was so good I wish I could remember what it was called but you have to try whatever their specialty drink of the night is.

We went with: Empire Eggrolls Lobster Rangoons Char Siu Baos Spicy Pork Belly Buns Pork Potsticks Shanghai Soup Dumplings Shu Mai Curry Udon Kung Pao Chicken Honestly everything was great but the stand outs for me were the Lobster Rangoons, Char Siu Baos, Pork Potsticks, Curry Udon, and the Kung Pao Chicken. First of Lobster Rangoons I mean how do you not. Portland Maine being Lobster Paradise this just makes sense and is a must try staple here. Just takes your normal Chinese Crab Rangoon to the next level. The Char Siu Baos where the best BBQ Pork Bun I have ever had. I know these can be hit or miss sometimes but Empire it doing it right truly the best I have had. The Pork Potsticks were also great. A top 3 dumpling I have had. I honestly wasn't expecting much but these were amazing. The Curry Udon was kind of a funny story. I said we should try this and my friends like me know it was vegan but for once that didn't bother me. This was great and so full of flavor. Plus you can't go wrong with Udon. Kung Pao Chicken is always my go to and this one takes the cake. The Chicken is lighty battered and so full of flavor. One of the best I have ever had. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything we had at Empire Chinese and I would 100% go back and do it all again. I'll end this review the way we started dinner. Lobsta Goooooonnnnsss!

I haven't been to hibachi grill in at least 15 years...nothing has changed. Exactly the same. The grill guy was very enthusiastic, funny, and gave my daughter a balloon when he was finished cooking. The food portions are generous. We both brought about half our meal. The food was fresh. The flavors were average...like they intentionally made them basic for the most common denominator. I did like each portion included both rice and noodles. The meal also comes with a small salad (very basic) and a clear broth soup which was better than I expected. The price is reasonable.

First thing to note is that the menu seems to have changed substantially, offering more Thai-adjacent and pan-Asian food than authentically Thai food. I ordered their coconut soup (Tom Kha; $10) to start and a local mushroom bowl as my main--both vegan by default. It took a while for the food to come out--maybe 20 mins for the soup and another 15 for the main. The soup was nicely seasoned, maybe being a bit too thick, and not allowing the galangal/lime leaf to breathe as much as it should. But I liked how it came with red pepper, tomato, mushroom and tofu. The main was not really Thai at all, coming with a rather stingy portion of tempeh, two kinds of mushrooms, red pepper, Lima beans, and microgreens. Reasonably seasoned but just not that interesting. Overall, disappointing relative to my previous experience, but still pretty good.
