Chin Express

Wondering why this place still in business? Food was greasy, heavy soy, dark sauce. Salty, gooey. Every food you order have the same heavy dark sauce. Yack!

Great Chinese takeout, the best in the Canton area by far. Cindy, one of the owners is so friendly, and remembers what you like after a few visits. Huge portions of really good food. Love the General Tso’s chicken!

This has become our go to spot in Canton. The owners are extremely friendly and the food is excellent. Our favorite is the sweet and sour combination. Well it’s actually the only thing we order as its too good to want to try something else.

The word that comes to mind is… Weird. The chicken was cooked really well but the sauce on the Orange Chicken was so strange. I order Orange Chicken at every Chinese place and it’s NEVER tasted like this before, very very sweet and no spice. The Chicken Lo Mein was incredibly different to what I was used to from other restaurants as well. Again not BAD food, but certainly not what I would seek out.

Best take out Chinese food in Canton. We have been coming here for years, love the food– and my whole family gets different items– priced great for a family of 4. And they are always so nice there– love it!

Came yesterday with my dad to get chinese for lunch. While the folks that greated us and gave us our order were nice, there were a few issues:
My dad ordered garlic shrimp. We think he got garlic chicken. We were not exactly sure what he got, but there was no shrimp.
My mom and I split an order of General Tso’s chicken. I’m guessing that is what we got. When we got home and ordered the box it looked like spare ribs, but ended up being chicken in a pretty sweet sauce. I asked for medium spice, but next time I need to ask for more as I didn’t think that it was spicey at all.
The amount of food was more than enough. You get your money’s worth, and they offer a little bit of everything (chicken, beef, pork, vegetables). You might just want to check your order before you leave!

This is our favorite local carry out for Chinese food. They have good fried rice, delicious almond chicken (they give you a ton!), sweet & sour and yummy szechuan chicken. We love their egg rolls & crab rangoons. Terrific service too!
Not giving 5 Stars because of their General Chicken which is typically a fav of mine. I don’t like their General Tsao chicken at all.. it’s weird long pieces of meat with a really dark sauce that isn’t very spicy or sweet. Definitely not normal GS & I made mistake of ordering twice.

This place is carry out only. The owners were friendly, the portions were large, the food was ready pretty fast. But the food itself did not taste very good. I tried the sweet and sour chicken and will not go back.

Great place for carry out. They give you a decent portion of food. I consider this the best Take out in Canton. Not only because of the food but it is also great service. The women knows who you are and is always friendly.

This is by far my most favorite place for chinese in canton. The people are very friendly and the food is ready quick. The interior is lacking, but its a takeout only place, so who really cares? The portions are huge (3 – 4 decent servings from 1 meal) and the prices are very reasonable. The only thing you have to be careful about is how «spicy» your meal is. Always ask for a little extra flavor or it may come out a little bland.

Chin Express was probably my favorite take out in Canton. We used to frequent this place for work related luncheons and I also would get it for home. It is take out — pure and simple. Call it Americanized Chinese or what have you — it was made well and tasty. Love the General, among the many others like Beef N Broccoli, Sesame, etc.
This place won’t win any awards for décor or eye appeal. But, it is just plain good take out on a Friday night.
Staff were always great and friendly.
Give it a try.

Chin Express is wonderful! Sure, it’s essentially void of décor but this is a takeout restaurant — and a very nice one at that. Appearances are second to the friendly and helpful service you’ll get here (the restaurant is family owned!) and nice big portions of food.
Speaking of food — it is quite Americanized Chinese, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be good. Mooshu pork and Garlic shrimp come with plenty of vegetables and tangy sauce to swirl your rice around in. Lo mian is reliable and tasty as well.
All this is made awesomer by the fact that they don’t use MSG (!!!)
If you’re hankering for some takeout in canton, I’d encourage giving this place a shot! :)

Let me start by saying I love, love, love American-​style Chinese cuisine. Chin Express scores above my top 5 of all time. The dishes I have had to date are flavorful, fresh and great quality. Good portion sizes, friendly service and ample parking. The fried rice is average but the wonton soup was very filling. Lunch specials are reasonably priced and a good way to try different entrees.
I am glad to have this gem in the area. I will return soon! Yummy!

Not much to say about this place.
There general chicken was too sweet and not spicy. Definitely bland as someone described in their review.
The sesame chicken was too sweet; almost tasting like honey. Maybe they sweetened it with honey.
Chicken are of the bubbly-​breaded fried type. If you like that style.
There chinese vegetable soup is simple; but amazing!
Oh and this place is only to go. I would say they need to lower their prices by a dollar or half.
EDIT:
I just tried their tofu dishes a few times; and the cook of this place makes the best tofu-​and-​veggie meals I have ever had. This is THE place to go to if you want an healthy tofu meal to replace a good home-​cooked meal for a day or two!
Best tofu dishes in all Canton!
What does that mean? They are okay with the Americanized dishes like General and Sesame Chicken. But are very good with the dishes that are closer to Chinese authentic food.
I will definitely be returning for more tofu dishes.
EDIT_​SIDE_​NOTE: There is a $ 10 minimum for when paying with a card.

Tried this on a recommendation from a nearby business, and was pleasantly surprised. Prices were good (about $ 21 for my family). This is one of few take-​outs that we’ve found that still use chicken breast in their chicken dishes. I had General Tso Chicken and it was made with breast strips and a very nice sweet and spicy sauce. Szechuan chicken had lots of fresh veg, and the lo mein did too. We’ll definitely go back when we’re in the area again.

Carry-​out only Chinese-​American food for a reasonable price.
I will summarize this place in three words:” fresh vegetables”, «bland».
We got two dishes. A dinner combination with kung pao (gung bo, I think they called it) chicken had quite a lot of the chicken dish, with lots of fresh vegetables, including mushrooms, carrots and green peppers. The menu claims they have «authentic Cantonese and Szechuan food» but the dish, labeled spicy, had no hint of spice at all. The brown sauce it was in had a pleasant, if bland flavor. The fried rice in the combo was rice turned brownish from being soaked in soy sauce with no vegetables or other ingredients.
The combo also came with a rather large egg roll. It wasn’t greasy and it was full of very fresh vegetables, but it was also bland. Instead of the typical «duck sauce» (or plum sauce) it came with a tiny tub of something like a thinned sweet & sour sauce which actually tasted more like watered down cough syrup.
We also got some pork lo mein. The noodles in the lo mein were not the typical noodles but a very thin noodle of the thickness of mai fun [which are made of rice, but these seemed to be wheat like regular lo mein noodles are]. There was plenty of sliced pork, as well as a lot of fresh vegetables, including bean sprouts, mushrooms, celery, cabbage and more. But there was no sauce, and that made the dish bland. A little bit of oyster sauce, which is often used to give lo mein it’s typical flavor, would have gone a long way to giving the dish some depth.
Dinner for two was about $ 15. Since it was carry-​out (they have no seating except a few chairs to wait while your order is prepared) this covered only the food. While the fresh vegetables were wonderful, the lack of any flavor made the meal uninspiring and dull. If only they’d start properly spicing their food we’d be willing to go back and give them another try.

This place was definitely a surprise. I got carry-​out one night for a late dinner, expecting greasy junkfood chinese. I ordered veggie fried rice and wonton soup, and both were very good. Everything looked and tasted really fresh.
The wonton soup was especially good. It was very light with lots of greens. It was not what I expecting, to be honest. I usually like my wonton soup heavy on the fatty pork juice. But I got over it pretty quickly, because it was so good and seemingly much healthier.
The prices are very competitive too. The wonton was on special for $ 2.50 a quart.
I will definitely be back again.

Chin Express is a real deal for Canton. Prices are very competitive but the owners do not cut corners (as many higher priced Chinese eateries do in Canton). There is ample parking. Often you can find parking space in front of Chin, which is located at the shopping center on Cherry Hill near the new CVS Pharmacy.
You get a large serving for your money. Many combination lunches are under $ 6.00 and several dinner combinations are under $ 7.00. Vetgetables are always fresh and meat is quality, never canned semi-​lunchmeat cubes as many carryouts use.
Chin has a solid regular customer base, so I advise calling ahead. It is family owned & operated. Usually the wife works the phone and the counter. Her English is excellent.
If you haven’t already, try Chin Express sometime. You’ll be pleased with the prices and the food.

My family and I get take-​out from this place at least every week or two. They give you a ton of quality good tasting american-​chinese fare for fantastic prices. We easily get two or three meals out of what we order. Never had to wait longer then 15 minutes either.
