Their crispy scallion chicken is the best casual Chinese dish in Charlotte. Great value for how good and expensive it is

Delicious Asian cuisine highly recommended. Don't miss out a wide variety of dishes, and great service.

I spent over a month in Charlotte, and generally found its Chinese food offerings lacking. In fact, the only good experience I had was here. They appeared to be doing very brisk business on the mid-week evening when I came, and had a number of people on staff to handle the order flow effectively. My steamed shrimp with mixed veg was plentiful (easily enough for two meals), tasty, and fairly priced, and I particularly liked that they offered brown rice at no upcharge. read more

Meh. Scallion chicken was fair, dumplings were fair, no utensils or napkins on delivery with Door Dash.

Saw a lot of positive feedback about this restaurant on Reddit when looking for Chinese take out. Haven't had any Chinese take out in Charlotte that I have absolutely loved yet, so I figured I would give this restaurant a try. We did a group order so it was quite a lot of items. Wonton soup, egg rolls, beef and broccoli, generals chicken, fried rice and crab Rangoons. The egg rolls are very small - I'm used to getting a much larger egg roll. Still tasted good but wasn't what I was expecting Beef and broccoli was fine. Crab Rangoons were terrible. Hardly any filling at all. You had to break it a part for one small bite of any filling and the rest was just wonton. Definitely would not recommend or order again. Generals chicken was just ok And the fried rice was also just ok- isn't your typical fried rice. It was fast and took no time to pick up. But overall probably wouldn't order again. read more

The best Chinese food in charlotte, hands down!All of their chicken dishes are really flavorful and use pieces of real chicken (not the mushy stuff you find inside some coated chicken at certain places). However, I DO NOT recommend their fried rice or dumplings, not the best...but everything else I've had here is delicious. read more

Busy, busy, busy place. You have to stand in line even if you placed an order over the phone. Line moved pretty quickly. I absolutely love their wings (extra crispy), the crab Rangoon, and house fried rice. Even though the line is almost outside the building, they move pretty fast for taking phone orders and taking in house orders at the same time. I'll be back again and again. read more

I have been eating at Taipei Express practically since they opened. Until recently, it was great! Our last 3 orders were terrible. The chicken in Crispy Scallion, Sweet & Sour, and Sesame Chicken was overcooked to the point of being hard to chew. I'll give it one more try, but that's it if they don't get it right. read more

Best Chinese that I've found in CLT so far. Good quality! Doesn't make me feel "heavy" like most Chinese food.

They have a great take out business. Food is good but not awesome. They have good portions. We ordered takeout there for the first time a few months ago and felt that it was awesome! Food tasted very fresh string beans were not so soggy and the hot and sour soup was phenomenal. However, when we ordered today I felt like the food tasted different. I don't know if they have a new chef but the hot and sour soup this time was bland and everything just didn't taste as good as the first time. Wish they had better consistency. read more

Taste: We were craving good Chinese takeout and we were pleased with this experience. As pictured, I had the Crispy Scallion Chicken (mainly because I saw so many positive Yelp reviews about it) and I'd say it lived up to the hype. It was yummy. My only issue is I ordered it spicy and it just tasted sweet. May have been a busy night oversight. My girlfriend got the 2nd most popular Yelp contender, Sesame Chicken. She really enjoyed it, although did say it was a bit drowned in sauce. We also enjoyed hot and sour soup + crab rangoons, both of which were tasty. Oh and we were able to have 3 meals leftover from this, so expect a HUGE portion size! Service: Effective and efficient. Just like you seem to find in most Chinese restaurants, the order was done in about "10-15 min" Atmosphere: Not a dine-in spot. Walk in, pay, pick up your food. They are efficient and right now they are only allowing 3 patrons a time in for COVID protocol. Cleanliness: Totally fine. Kitchen actually looks surprisingly clean. Overall: Good spot for Chinese takeout around here. Very minimal rough things to say about this place, which is always fantastic! We will be back. read more

It's just ok. I'm not slamming it, it wasn't bad, it just didn't excite me enough for a higher rating. The food was slightly above average. The egg roll was bland, not sure what it was stuffed with. Fried rice is flavorless with a few frozen peas and carrots. Way too much breading on the generals chicken and no spice. Even for dine in they serve in styrofoam containers and tiny child sized plastic ware is provided for you to fumble with while taking tiny bites. The prices were just ok for todays world and to order you have to try to communicate through plexiglass and struggle to understand the employees through their silly useless masks which is even more of a challenge due to the Asian accent. Wound I return? Maybe, but it wouldn't be my first choice unless I found my self in the immediate area. They were nice and service is fast. read more

The crispy scallion chicken is really good...though it's more crispy than chicken. Got the fried dumplings and would 20,000% NOT recommend. Super doughy and the pork on the inside was a bright, almost hot pink color through and through. I have never had dumplings that were so nasty and off-putting. Threw them away instantly, but should have taken a picture! read more

The most excellent customer service I've had in a long while... however, the food was terrible. Pepper steak, orange chicken, white rice, fried rice, and egg roll was our order. The food came out correct but could not have been more bland. The actual chicken wasn't dry but there was so little sauce it felt really dry to eat. The fried rice was flavorless, as was the egg roll. The pepper steak was the most edible but I would never want it again. One star for customer service One star for cleanliness I wouldn't recommend read more

Chinese New Year! So got to get some Chinese takeout to celebrate!...I don't know if this is just me, but good Chinese is hard to come by! So here we are trying another new place, not that we try often Chinese wise...Okay covid takeouts at its finest! Best Chinese I've had in a looooong time! We called and placed our order, she told us 10-15 minutes. We arrived and the place was a mad house, good sign right? There was a long line as they were only allowing 3 people in at a time. You had to wait to go in to pay and some people were arriving to order and trying to pass the line. But we eventually got our food and the lady was nice. When we arrived home everything was still hot and warm, and everything was so so good. Here's what we tried *Crispy scallion chicken with fried rice- so delicious, you can add heat if you want it, I love that all the bites are smaller - to me that is the perfect combo bite for crispy/sauce/chicken ratio! *sesame chicken with fried rice- also very good!! *seafood lo mein- yasss, came with a good amount of shrimp and scallops, and veggies. Yum af! *crab Rangoon- you get 6 with duck dipping sauce, they were pretty good, not the best I've ever had but still pretty good! *fortune cookies too! We will be back! read more

Excellent and consistent "cheap" Chinese food. Been going for years. Highly recommended

True Rating: 4.5/5 Second time coming here, it's been a long time since the first. Came for the lunch special and got the general Tso chicken tray, no egg roll, extra rice $7.85. They put a TON of rice for sure lol, but i wish i had a few more pieces of chicken. Maybe I'm just greedy, or maybe it's bc it was the lunch special and you get a bit less? I'm not sure. Not too bit a deal as it was sufficient. As far as Taste? It was very good and flavorful. Broccoli, peppers, too. I don't have any real complaints. You won't be disappointed lol They seem to be busy around lunch so i definitely recommend calling before you come so your order is ready for pick up like i did. COVID, i think no more than 3 people allowed for pick up at one time so they seem to be abiding by regulation and protocol so that's good as well. read more

The BEST Chinese food in Charlotte! Everything taste so clean and fresh. Nothing was greasy or heavy, go during lunch they have a decent sized portion that could be saved for dinner! Customer service was quick fast and easy. read more

I have to say first if your looking quick service this is the place. I always order my food ahead of time even if it's my first time trying something from here usually never can go wrong. I love there fried rice the shrimp aren't so small like other places. I always love there sesame chicken which was something new I tried this time. They also always have great lunch specials going on which comes with protein, rice and a egg roll. I definitely recommend this location. If you go and don't see cars don't worry most people are picking up there food and heading home. read more

One of the best Chinese food spots in Charlotte. The food is always cooked to order. Orders are ready in 15 minutes and the servings are generous. Price point is very reasonable too. When you walk in you can see the kitchen and they are numerous spices that are added to the dish. Never over oily or questionable meat texture. This is my go to spot when we want Chinese. Looking for a first time meal to try... look no further The Spicy Scallion Chicken is a must. Pan fried dumplings are a great starter. The pork egg rolls are amazing too. Egg drop soup! read more

I had a really good experience getting Taipei takeout this past weekend. There aren't a lot of Chinese takeout options over in Noda so I decided to put in an order here and drive to pick It up. We ordered the General Tso's chicken, spicy, with white rice, vegetable Lo main, and the peppered steak with onions and fried rice. The food was still piping hot by the time I got home, which was great! The food had great flavor and I think the portions were great as well. Perfect to share with someone and still have left overs. My only qualm would be that the pepper steak had way more onions and peppers than actual pieces of steak. Also, the parking was a bit difficult. For a place that only does takeout and dining in, you would think they would have more options for parking off of a busy road. I will definitely order take out again! read more

Have been ordering from DoorDash and it's incredible. The beef with garlic sauce is unreal. I think I have an addiction lol. Order it now!

Nice people and good food. Scallops with snow peas with blackbean sauce ( special order) is the bomb! Y'all rock!!! read more

Paradoxically posting a review of what is probably my favorite Chinese takeout place to make a negative comment. If you're like me, you probably tend to the same items at your restaurants that you go to over and over. For many years Taipei Express has proven reliably excellent at General's Chicken, Chicken with Black Bean Sauce, Hunan Beef. For whatever reason, I wanted something different today. After scanning the menu, I decided to try Orange Chicken. It was underwhelming -- neither particularly orange, nor spicy (as indicated in the menu). There was plenty of good quality chicken, and there were both pieces of orange peel and hot peppers in the bowl, so if you want a kind of generic Chinese chicken dish, you'll be fine. You can ask them to add vegetables (extra charge) if that's important to you. Portions, as others have noted, are generous -- one dish (which comes with rice) will serve two or preemptively answer questions about what to have for lunch tomorrow. read more

Small place, not a lot of room To eat inside but the food is consistent Chinese food and the employees are incredibly sweet and hard working. Never an issue with our order, always exactly what hits the spot. Highly recommend scallion chicken, fried rice, and egg roll read more

Stopped in here to satisfy a Chinese craving and yelp recommended. Honestly, I think it might go under as one of my top three Americanized Chinese spots in Charlotte. I did take-out, I did not eat at the restaurant itself. I went with the chicken in garlic sauce with white rice, and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of chicken and vegetables I received. It was a very large and well balanced portion. The sauce itself was very flavorful, but not overpowering. It was certainly a dish that I would order again. I also got the dumplings (fried). They were a little heavy on the ginger, but it didn't take away from the overall dumpling taste, which was tasty. It also was a good blend of meat to dough, rather than the usually over doughy dumplings you find at Chinese restaurants. I wouldn't recommend the hot and sour soup though. I love this soup, and this one was a clear miss in my book. It wasn't bad, it just lacked the flavor and bite I was hoping to get from a traditional hot and sour soup. Overall, I will be back again, and can't wait to try some of their other menu options. read more

Taipei Express is a small and busy Chinese restaurant. The owner is usually on register and moves pretty quickly. I ordered the spicy orange, the lunch portion is very filling and comes with your choice of rice and choice between a spring roll or egg roll. I dined in this time around. My food took about 10 minutes to arrive and was brought to the table. There's about 8 tables, half were occupied. Parking is limited. read more

Taipei Express - Spicy Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I'm confused as to why this place is rated 4 stars. The crab Rangoon was 95% pastry with a smear of cream cheese the size of a thumbnail. The vegetable low mein tasted as though it had been reheated with vegetables thrown in for a can, except for the broccoli, that was slightly crunchy. General tso, the chicken was cooked tender, but the flavor wasn't very vibrant. It tasted like something I would buy in the freezer section at the grocery store and heat up at home. The only decent item we tried were the chicken wings. We used the sauce that was served with the crab rangoons to flavor the wings. Would not Recommend dining here if you want good Chinese food. read more

I haven't even started this food and I'm already ticked off. I'm not home so we ordered delivery from Tai Pei Express. We thought it would be really good. Well... I just opened our delivery and they have forgotten to put eating utensils in the bag. Now we are having to scrounge for something to eat with. Pretty sure it will be cold, or at least not hot when we finally get to eat. Like I said, I'm pretty ticked off. Getting to look at this food with no way to eat it. read more

For those ordering online- Menu shown on website through Apple Maps is not up to date and reflects lower prices than actual

Food was good but my Sis and I both thought the food was on bland side! Excellent service.

Just so-so. Fried rice was flavorless with three carrot chunks and nothing much else.

Taipei Express offered pretty decent "americanized" chinese takeout! The takeout food is really good (I ordered "Spicy Scallion Chicken" and "chicken & garlic sauce". The customer service is really good. The lady upfront knows all the peoples' names and was courteous in taking the orders. The service was fast as well, and this location offers in-house dining, with plenty of tables and chairs. P.S. Jeremy Lin came here with the Fung Bros at this location, and as a result I had to try this place out! I would definitely return again to try other dishes. read more

My go to to-go Chinese in CLT. Always take their time to ensure my order is accurate, very tastey, and move very quickly!

This Chinese restaurant is the bomb! I ran into it after work just wanting Chinese and going to the place nearest to me. Taipei express is a quick over the counter order for Chinese food but it's one of the best I've tried so far! I have ordered sesame chicken the few times I've been there and the chicken is so crispy and full of flavor. Love this place and highly recommend it if you are looking for quick Chinese! read more

I have gone here twice now. Both times I have been disappointed. I ordered ginger chicken and Mongolia beef and it was all vegetables . Both entrees had very little meat. Was not impressed. read more

If your kid brother threw on a chef's hat to play "Chinese Restaurant" for a day, this is what it would be like. The fried rice looks and tastes like regular rice with a splash of soy sauce and a package of frozen vegetables mixed in. The stuffing in the spring rolls is unidentifiable. The potstickers are a bready glob. The sweet and sour chicken and sesame chicken are both dry and chewy. I can't imagine any of the more complicated dishes being better since the simple ones fell flat. Which is why this restaurant gets a "No!" read more
