Chinatown Express

First time getting food here. I got general Tso’s chicken and sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. The generals chicken was the best part of the meal, the sweet and sour sauce was lacking flavor, the rice was greasy. My wife got Mongolian beef and she enjoyed it. We shared an egg roll which was ok. My stomach was upset shortly thereafter and the next morning, along with a bad headache the next day (could be a coincidence). There’s better Chinese around then this.

Good food, very nice plus is the ease of ordering and friendly delivery drivers. I am not able to drive and rely on quality places that deliver and so I count on this as one of them. Food selection is varied for your typical Chinese American place. The greatest thing, though, like I said, is your ability to order online.

I pick up lunch here quite regularly and have never been disappointed in the quality of the food or service. Portions are good for the price.

The food is decent. I had heard great things about this place but wasn’t too impressed. I will probably give it another try.

Sometimes I crave Chinese –it brings back good childhood memories. But I don’t know how anybody can eat this food (at least not what I ordered).
This is a carryout only. It sits at the opposite end of Starbucks and the cramped parking lot is always crowed and busy.
I ordered the two meats dinner — Orange Chicken & shrimp with fried rice and an egg roll.
The chicken was unusually stringy and pink –like the color of livers –it wasn’t livers– but certainly not a chicken I could recognize.
The two shrimp were almost cold, greasy and with more breading than I care for.
The rice smelled sour and only had onions cooked in it. There were none of the usual vegetables you see in fried rice such as scallions, peas, carrots –or scrambled egg. No one else at my house would eat the rice because of the smell.
The egg roll wasn’t very good, either, dry and gritty inside. All but the de-​breaded shrimp went into the trash. It was a waste of $ 11.
I wonder what people are eating that they like so much at this place. I can’t go back.
If you can eat it, the menu looks good, service is fairly quick, and efficient. The best Chinese Food I’ve had recently was from a recommendation to go to the Oceania Inn in Rochester Hills 3176 Walton Boulevard, 48 309 248 375‑9200; which is far away from this restaurant.
Still on the hunt for a Chinese haunt in or near the Southfield area.

pretty good chinese food! always fresh and hot when i order from here at work. i usually get the sesame chicken, which is really delicious. i love the sauce that they use, it contains the perfect consistency. sometimes i get weirded out ordering from new chinese restaurants because you just never know how they choose to cook their items, every place is different. but i’m glad i tried this place! the only thing i don’t really care for is their egg rolls, a little too many bean sprouts for my liking. i prefer egg rolls with lots of cabbage instead. still good food though! try it :)

Mall quality Chinese food. Nothing special. cheap and quick. Great for lunch break or if you’re passing by and you want some quick eats. No place to sit down, carryout only. Kind of hard to get to depending on the direction you’re coming from.

Great for the money and fast service! I got the Kung Pao chicken, spring roll and veggie fried rice. All good! Great for lunch and quick at dinner time. Never had an issue. Good place.

This place is consistently good. I usually get the ABC or chicken subgum — depending on if I want fried or more fresh. As a plus, they will substitute a chicken egg roll w/​the combo at no additional charge. The prices are good and if I call as i leave work — it is always ready and hot fresh when I get there. The only barrier is a slight language one. Other than that, A-​OK!

Fast, friendly delivery and ease of on-​line ordering. Decent, well prepared food. Nice portions, good prices. All around solid choice. All packages wrapped to prevent leaks-​AWESOME! Shrimp cleaned well and not over cooked. So great to have the option of DELIVERY!!! Will absolutely order from Chinatown Express in the future!

I’ve been here a couple of times and I ordered the general tso chicken and lo mein noodles. each time the food was cooked to perfection. not greasy… very friendly lady who loads your to go container to the top! YUMMY!

this place is great! Ive been eating it for years. im a big fan of the almond chicken, which is always crisp and sweet. When I became a vegetarian I started to order the General tso’s tofu, and I always request it to be cut into smaller pieces and add more sauce since its the best part and they are very nice about catering to my needs. the plain fried rice is great, and even better the next day after throwing it in the microwave. I’m no longer a vegetarian but i still enjoy the tofu. It many not be the best place to get fresh vegetables outside of whats used to season your dish but honestly I don’t eat cooked vegetables anyway so the less they put in the less I have to pick out. fast, friendly, cheep, and delicious!

I visited this place recently because I work near it and was curious about its quality. A quick glance at the menu revealed a couple of moderately interesting veggie options. When I tried to order one, however, the counter person seemed flummoxed that I did not select one of the numbered dishes. Therefore, I settled on the only veg numbered plate: sauteed mixed vegetables.
Despite its name, express can be a relative term here, even when ordering by number. The cafeteria appearance of a row of chafing dishes belies that many meals are made upon order (a pleasant surprise, actually). My lunch was serviceable if not sensational: decent, crisp veggies in a standard white sauce, middling fried-​cum-​steamed rice and a mildly tasty, albeit overly cabbage-​laden, spring roll.
While I probably won’t come here often, Chinatown Express does seem an OK place for fairly quick Chinese food.

I travel a lot and I usually eat Chinese food about once a week. You can never go wrong with Chinese food. That being said I was excited to try the Chinatown Express for lunch. I got the usual General Tso’s w/​noodles and egg roll and I was not disappointed. The noodles were not too greasy, and the General Tso’s was not overcooked causing the chicken to be too dry. Granted there is better Chinese food but if you are looking for cheap and fast I highly recommend Chinatown Express. This is a takeout place only.

I really like this place but i find it hard to give more than 3 stars to a Chinese fast food place. The lady the runs the place behind the counter has an AC/​DC shirt, plus one there. 28 items to choose from (but only 3 pots in the back), so you never have to eat the same thing twice in one month. All of those priced under $ 7 too
