In all seriousness, this is the best Chinese in CBus. I truly believe if put this on a nice plate and taste against any other Chinese place...it would win in a landslide. General Tso's and an egg roll ALL DAY! read more

This spot back the day used to be so great that they use give you so much food in the flavor used to be good now seem like they're very commercial and just give you just a scoop of food read more

sweet & sour chicken! I get no veggies, as my palate doesn't like that UPDATE: Ordered online like before, and got HALF the portion I've gotten over and over before. I called thinking perhaps it got sent out before the rest was put in the container. I was told it's always been this portion & "I cook today. I know what I'm doing!" Well, I won't Ever recommend them again. As I did today. I apologized to my coworkers for leading them astray. I will not be back. They don't get a second chance to rip me off. read more

Incredible Chinese food! We had been craving takeout Chinese for a while and just had not found the right time. We're so glad we stop by for lunch. The food was incredible. We got the general chows chicken, sesame chicken and an eggroll. Everything was fresh and crispy. The sauce was so delicious. The people at the store were very nice, and the food came out so quickly. We will be back! read more

Very kind staff! Came with baby after a long day. They helped me order and very quite accommodating having g my hands full.

The overpriced Pad Thai is as far from the original recipe as you can get. The overwhelming amount of noodles, scant meat pieces, no bean sprouts or crushed peanuts and poorly spiced overall makes this place a onetime mistake. read more

Bland food. Would not recommend. Very disappointed. Even added soy sauce. Still tasteless.

I was going to give a two star review for subpar food, and a stingey staff. Then I heard they were completely homophobic with my friend. I don't know how they expect to have customers treating people inferior for being who they are. read more

I had the teriyaki chicken for dinner (carry out). I vomited all night long. Now I know that I can't handle MSG but I've eaten at Mark Pi's for years with no problem. Then I wondered if the chicken was really chicken. Know what I mean? I can't trust their food. I'm so disappointed and, quite frankly, angry. I'll never eat at a chinese restaurant again. If you look at the reviews, please look at the dates they were posted. Something has happened. They received great reviews until 2024. read more

General Tso's Chicken: $7.50 Crab Rangoon: $5 Soda: $2 $14.50 total.. With no other patrons in the restaurant it took them about 1min 45secs to make my order...Including frying crab Rangoon....(was obviously pre-fried once, gross) General tso's was barely warm, vegetables raw, and very little rice. Crab Rangoon was a straight slap in the face. It was fried dough at best. Next to no filling... Soda was a little flat, but was the best part of the meal. Obviously it's easy to knock on a crappy Chinese restaurant. I wouldn't have given a review if it wasn't for how overpriced it was. Food theft at its finest. Goodbye Mr. Mark Pi!! Will not be coming back. read more

Got carry out on a cold snowy night. This place gets bonus points for reliability! They were the only Chinese carry out place open. Service was really fast. The menu has a lot of choices which is great. Food was average tasting but a good deal! Most entrees are around $7. Would recommend in a pinch or late night! read more

Mark Pi's Express - Fried Dumplings, Lo Mein - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Literally the worst Chinese place in Columbus. I have no idea why there are people saying otherwise. The best in Columbus? That's an absolute joke Average? Sure, I only tried a couple meals here, so I can't speak for the rest of the menu. I always give a place two chances before I veto any future visits. The worst? Most likely. Do yourself a favor, go to Happy House across the street, or literally any mom and pop, classic Chinese food restaurant and you will not only get much more food, but much better tasting food. read more

Everything you order and no frills which is great. Cheap and very fast- my order of almond chicken was $7 and ready in 5 minutes! read more

I love Mark Pi's food. I love that they are on Door Dash as well, because sometimes I just don't want to drive. We got Chicken Lo Mein and Hot Pepper Chicken, and 2 ordered of crab Rangoon. Without the Door Dash service fee and tip, it was $25, which I think is absolutely reasonable. The food quality is fantastic, I'm obsessed. Delicious! read more

I grew up down the street from this place & I've been eating there since I was a child; I'm 41 now. I don't live in the immediate area anymore but every time I am nearby, like today, I go there & get the chicken stir fry & it is STILL delicious & exactly the same as it always was. The inside is looking rough these days & their a/c didn't seem to be working on this brutally hot day but they still deliver. 5 stars always read more

Super fast service, great business and good food. Crab ragoons are delicious and affordable.

Sometimes you just need some good cheap Chinese food. Mark Pi's gets the job done for me. I've had several different items for takeout here and all have been pretty good. This time I ordered the vegetable fried rice. Portion size is pretty decent and it's made quick. I do wish there were more descriptions or pictures of the food online or the grub hub app because sometimes I'm not sure which thing is which. read more

Mark Pi's Express - vegetable fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This is one of those Chinese restaurants that most likely makes a certain Columbus Yelper shudder in authentic Chinese disgust or maybe he just says "Meh" and keeps on driving. This place is designed to get you in and out as fast as possible. How do they perform this feat? Their secret is to stir fry and deep fry everything, splash sauce on it, put it in a styrofoam box and have it ready for you by the time you get to the end of the counter. Henry Ford would be proud of this production line. The food here is value priced Chinese cuisine morphed to American tastes. It's not authentic and it's not particularly good for you, but for a quick Chinese food fix, it tastes pretty damn good. I've never had a bad meal here in over 15 years. I'm rather partial to anything there that has teriyaki sauce on it. The only thing I'd definitely not recommend? Hot and Sour soup - thin and bland. read more

The best word to describe this place : inconsistent ... another good word to describe it going downhill fast .. it is not what it used to be a few years ago .. you just get less food, and the quality is not good.. chicken sometimes tastes and smells weird as if it was old or frozen with something else, or it tastes like the freezer .. The staff courtesy is a hit and miss sometimes they are friendly sometimes they are rude throwing things around and if you ask for something extra of the condiments they just slap it on the countertop and walk away. The quality has decreased during pandemic as well but they definitely skimp out on food amount, and freshness of their ingredients. The meal is just not filling. I realize it is cheap but it is not worth risking food poisoning and upset stomach. Whatever they changed they need to fix it and fix it fast. read more

This is one of my favorite places! Food is consistent, Mark pi's chicken is crispy every time! Staff is friendly and you have to ask for the fried bananas for dessert. It's not on the menu, but it's q must have! read more

The food is consistently delicious. I subtracted one star because of the serving size. In the past my Styrofoam tray would be full, this day it was half. I could make 3-4 meals out of it. For full price you receive half the food. Maybe the cut backs are due to decreased business from Covid19. I would gladly pay a few more bucks for full size. Mark Pi's food is so good. read more

Okay. First question is why would I go here? Short answer is we all make bad decisions sometimes. Another explanation is I thought possibly it would be good in a "mall" Chinese kinda way. Meaning, not really Chinese at all but just super salty and satisfying. Reading the other reviews that gave it a few stars made me really sad for these people that clearly haven't good Chinese and not even good "bad" Chinese. I got the Pepper Chicken. This was "served" on a Styrofoam plate with the flimsiest plastic fork I've ever encountered. LOTS of white rice. TONS of onions and grease and very little chicken. Seriously one of the grossest things I've ever eaten. Nasty. Nasty. Nasty. Even the little devil on my shoulder that said "go ahead, eat crap for dinner tonight" said "WTF, that's nasty." read more

I've been going here since I was a kid in the '90s and it's delicious and consistent. I moved to Cleveland several years ago and just went for the first time in several years. Same great food and same great family working there. I arrived just before closing after driving down from Cleveland. I didn't realize when ordering, but the fryer was already cleaned out before I ordered egg rolls with dinner. No problem, the wok MASTER who has probably made me dinner 100 times over the yeasts deep fried them perfectly in the wok after finishing my General Tso's and Mark Pi Chicken! My wife and I enjoyed our dinners and will obviously be back someday. read more

I honestly love this place. It's quick and easy. Walk in, order with the friendly lady who is usually working whenever I come in, and bust out. It's been super awesome having them open during this Pandemic, especially being right down the street. You can also get them delivered through DoorDash if you aren't wanting to venture in. They do have a seating area that is normally open. My go to is the sweet&sour. You can also sub for tofu in most (if not all) combos. read more

So friendly. Great prices and great taste! Love coming here. Highly recommend. Love the mark pi's chicken.

This food is BAD. Not even edible. The vegetable egg roll had a fishy aftertaste which I was obviously not expecting. The only thing I could stomach was the rice and broccoli. The owners seem very nice and they were really quick with the order but if you can't even eat it, that's a problem. I hate to see anyone not be successful but you're going to want to save your money on this place. read more

It was ok. Not the best Chinese I've ever had. Portion seemed small compared to other Chinese I have had. read more

I have never done crack, but I imagine the high you get off it and then the need for it after is pretty similar to Almond Boneless Chicken. That is all. read more

Get the almond boneless chicken, or 'ABC' if you want to show them you know what you're doing (I do). I suppose you came here for the food. I did too, at first. Until I realized that there is something else at work in this Grandview haunt. I order the ABC so I can watch the line cook chop the chicken with his cleaver. As much as the cleaver's association with violence and gore has come to fascinate me, it's the rhythm on the cutting board I crave. THWOP goes the opening strike, snapping to it the eyes and necks of daydreaming patrons. In comes the accompaniment; a low roar and cautionary hiss of steam as the wok man, sweat beading on his weathered brow, begins to cook. The flames lick the steel as a marooned sailor licks the last moisture from a windfall coconut. The practiced ballet of the staff has already begun, unnoticed to the casual observer. THWOP the cleaver lands again! The sound sets my salivary glands to work, a hundred million years of evolution ready to enzymatically eviscerate the birdflesh waiting to slide down my gullet. SCRANCH a styrofoam container is laid bare, the discordant screech perhaps out of tune in the unfolding symphony, yet it is the unmistakable signal that we have reached the climax. In the blink of an eye (and YES I do mean the blink of an eye) each component of the meal is assembled, packaged, and tied as expertly as could be asked of any man preparing a desperate Christmas morning gift in a meager attempt to save his disintegrating marriage. And like THAT it's over. Move along now, other customers are waiting. In my time no other has been as visibly spellbound as your humble author is to watch this ritual, born as it was from thousands of years of Chinese restaurateurs. It is at once as if I was here for a century, and a picosecond. At times, the unwary may try to resolve this paradox at the precise moment the polyethylene bag slides into their hands, but being a paradox, it is unresolvable, and such a person is apt to find themselves as I did, retching painfully in the general direction of the men's room to deep peals of laughter from the wizened patriarch of the store. Is he Mark Pi? Or is Mark Pi the name of the ringing in my ears? The egg rolls are alright. 4/5 read more

Good food. The Mongolian beef with steamed rice is a must have. Also tried the egg rolls and are great.

The food was delicious! My dad loves it and I had never had it before so I got the sweet and sour chicken and everything was fresh and delicious! I'll definitely go back! read more

It is authentic Chinese food? No. Do I still love it? Yes! I love the Almond Boneless Chicken with friend rice. Of the stores left, I think this is the most consistent with their sauce, and service. read more

My boyfriend and I tried this place because we like the Mark Pi's in Whitehall. Worst decision of my life. They're clearly not in any way related food quality wise. I ordered the Kung Pao Beef and my boyfriend, the Kung Pao Chicken. We took maybe a collective 5 bites between us. Both of our dishes were absolutely disgusting. My dish tasted like it was rotted, dropped on the floor and covered in an obscene amount of fish sauce. I will never go back here for any reason. read more

I order the same combo each time I go. The quality has been good each time. Plus, the employees are friendly.

I ordered the gang pang chicken with rice. It comes with crispy chicken, jalapenos, onions, and carrots. They make it right in front of you. The chicken is pre-cooked and then the cook adds it to a hot wok along with the sauce and veggies, which heats up the chicken again. The chicken wasn't that great but was decent. I wish they had a brown rice option though. This is a good for a quick meal. The portion size is pretty large, if you are really hungry you can eat the whole thing, or save some for a snack later. read more

Thought I'd stop and give it a try. Mistake #1. Very limited menu which matches the limited amount of food- 2/3 rice and little actual hot pepper chicken for $ 10. Mistake #2. Final mistake was CNN blaring on tv. Won't return. Don't alienate your customers with forcing them to hear the least popular "news" channel. Keep driving read more

Never a bad meal. My favorite dish is the ABC. I also like Vegetable Deluxe with the white sauce. read more

The staff at Mark Pi's Express seems less interested in "getting it right" than they do getting it out fast. Orders that are taken correctly and filled correctly are what brings patrons back. The food is standard fare Asian. The big hot woks are throwing sauces, chicken, beef and such up in the air to get it hot, get it out fast. But I've twice had the wrong meat (chicken, not beef) plated only to say, "NOPE". The hot & sour soup is friggin' scalding hot so eating inside means waiting for it to cool - that's okay. I just feel like a pawn on the chess board in this Mark Pi's. Move along, move along and be knocked off the board quickly. Yet,.... I still go in a pinch when I'm hurried. read more

Not hot. Not flavored. Not a lot of rice. Not a lot of chicken. Not a lot veggies. Hoping the chicken breading wasn't to undercooked. Not what it used to be. read more
