China Express

Great authentic Chinese food. We found this place by accident once while driving through town and ever since we make a point to stop here to eat on our trip between Dallas and Atlanta. You are not going to find a lot of deep fried versions of chicken or lots of noodles; this place is more of the traditional Chinese food place where there’s kimchi and tofu among the options on the menu. That said… I went for what drove me here (I had previously tried their wongtong soup while driving through) their soup is so rich and the wong tongs are huge. You’ll also notice that the clientele is mostly Chinese! Some reviews have mentioned that the lady at the register is rude, but she is just not fluent in English, the place is always very busy and their prices are ridiculously cheap (my husband and I ate until satiety for $ 16); so don’t expect a warm loving service. Come in for the food which is simply amazing!

Just want to say that the workers who work here are not at all friendly they’re so rude. Specially the lady and there’s only one lady work over there. She don’t serve the quantity which you pay for and its not worth it. Even does not care about people’s privacy. We were eating and they turned on something on tv with loud volume and that also in Chinese which annoyed me a lot. She was rushing us to eat and did not have respect for us at all. Even I asked her for a chopstick and then she said go over there and pick it up by ur self !!?
My honest opinion of view I don’t recommend this restaurant for anyone

Great service, good food and fantastic prices.
Looking for a quick, inexpensive meal? China Express is your place. I ordered takeout and the lady at the counter was very friendly. The rice wasn’t packaged until I picked up the order, hot and fresh, right from the steamer. Not to mention it was a generous serving of rice.
I concur with other reviews that the portion sizes are quite big. The $ 8.25 General Tso’s Tofu was well worth the price. A ton of tofu with a very flavorful sauce. Maybe there could have been some more broccoli, but no real complaints otherwise.
If you haven’t been here before, I recommend checking out China Express. If you’re vegetarian, the General Tso’s Tofu is a great choice for a big meal at a low price.

Insanely amazing and authentic Chinese food. I will come here each time that I visit the area. The owners are very friendly.

This is without a doubt, the best Chinese restaurant In the city. High quality, authentic food, and great quantities for the price.

I eat here probably once every 1 – 2 weeks — it’s so good I just can’t stay away.
When you sum huge portions + right price + big flavors, you get one heck of a delicious combination. China Express Kitchen consistently delivers.
I’ve had just about every chicken dish. My current favorite is the chicken fried noodle: it’s $ 5.99 for a whopping portion of yummy goodness!

Not your typical Chinese fair. We got a huge serving of Chicken curry with carrots, onions & potatoes along with rice. And chicken with garlic sauce (a bit of heat in this) with veggies & red pepper flakes.
The curry was better than Rucchi Indian restaurant. It was a lovely coconut milk-​cream base and was balanced and OHH so good. The chicken was dark meat chicken with some connective tissue which was not to my taste but the potato was so fabulous and the sauce to die for that I will get just the veggies and no meat and dump my rice in it and eat the sauce up!
The second dish was supposed to be shared but the garlic sauce was a bit spicier than expected. It was a nice white meat chicken with some bell peppers, mushrooms, carrots & spicy red pepper flakes. You get a free thing of water with your order.
As these other guys explained there was a steady crowd of Asian students enjoying the TV in the corner. We were pleased to see some other colors of people in there too so others know how awesome this place is. We surely wish the place was more crowded as this location seems to have been lots of things in the past and we wish them much luck!
It took 30 min or so to get our food but it was worth the wait. Calling in before you arrive would be great but it was lovely!

Major shout out to Craig T for putting me on to this place.
Also, my supervisor stays in Clinton and recommended as well.
This is not your typical Americanized Chinese restaurant — this is true Mandarin cuisine!
I tried the Ma-​po tofu, cumin chicken, and the stir fried shredded pork.
All were delicious. The quality was superb and you can tell the difference between the Americanized cuisine and the authentic cuisine.
The only knock, if you are getting to go and they are super busy?! Be prepared to wait.
I left work at 5pm — made it there by 5:30pm, placed my order — gentlemen told me — sorry, but its going to be about 45 minutes — I said, «Yes indeed!» — But I took that as a pleasant warning on how good the grub is, if they are that busy.
So I went around the corner to Applebees and had a couple of beverages while my food was being cooked.
good to see an another authentic Asian restaurant in the metro area. Shows you how far Mississippi has come and that we are growing.

In a city rife with poor to mediocre Chinese food establishments, there is one restaurant that has risen above the rest. That restaurant is China Express Kitchen in Clinton, MS.
When I opened the plate glass door of this shopping mall strip joint to the sounds of the telltale tinkle of the ‘new customer’ bell, I took it as a good omen that the small and spartan dining room was filed with Asian students speaking in exotic languages while watching Chinese television programming on the small TV mounted in the back corner. The smells and odors of the food they were eating wafted through the room and immediately whet my appetite.
I have been twice now for takeout, and the food has been prepared fresh and presented to me piping hot. The sesame chicken sauce was better than anywhere else I have tried. The flame’s pork was a delicious concoction of pork, peppers, and onions. The fried rice was better than anywhere except possibly a couple of the hibachi places (lots of scrambled egg in the rice). And the sticky rice was the perfect combination of taste and texture — great for those who possess an aptitude for eating with chopsticks. The egg rolls are also very tasty and very peppery. My only disappointment has been that they have not had dumplings either time I have visited. Maybe if I keep asking for them they will have them.
They don’t have a huge menu like some Chinese food establishments. Instead, they seem to focus on doing a nice variety of dishes really well. I look forward to eating my way through their menu in the near future.
This is an easy place to overlook as it is hidden in a small shopping strip tucked behind a Zaxby’s. If you know where the Shipley’s donuts place is, then China Express Kitchen is in the same strip mall. If you are looking for some decent Chinese food, check this place out. I think you will like it.
