Visiting for Denver this February '24 and dined here 2X. Each time was really very good. It's family owned for 19 years; the chef (s) are brothers and the waitstaff are sisters. Everything seems to be homemade, fresh...not stuff out of a can which almost all Chinese restaurants serve and tastes the same these days. For our soup, we shared the hot & sour which had the traditional spicy flavors but chock full of chicken, tofu and vegetables...almost a full meal by itself. The variety of menus choices are mind boggling and one has to wonder how they get most everything so right at such reasonable prices. If you order the larger portions of most any dish, be prepared to bring home the left-overs for a nice second meal or lunch. Our only regret in leaving Mesa for home, is that we won't be able to enjoy this lovely Asian Cafe on a regular basis.

For February the International Supper Club UYE picked Asian Café Express as the place for us to try! We had a big turnout for this one and the place was able to accommodate us with no issues. Asian Café Express has three styles of menu, AZ style menu, Hong Kong style and the set dinner specials menu. The Hong Kong style menu is what I went with, which is authentic Chinese dishes. After checking out the menu, I went with the Hong Kong style menu and ordered the Kung Poa Beef. It was stirred fried beef with carrots, onions, green peppers in a Szechwan sauce and topped with peanuts. It was served with rice. This dish was so good! It made great leftovers too! Service was great and even for being a big group, the dishes everyone ordered came out quickly. I am glad to have tried Asian Café Express and am in the area often so I know I will be back!

Everything about this place is AMAZING!!! I try to get a new dish every time I go but no matter what I have ordered the food is always DELICIOUS! I recommend this place to everyone I know. I LOVE the chili oil, it's so flavorful and can be used on everything! The ladies are so nice and tentative, do not worry about the service even on a busy day. I go here AT LEAST once every two weeks.

Following my last visit, my one star review, I visited again Feb 8th. Spurred by an open invite for Yelpers to the monthly supper club I'm happy to report that I put Asian Cafe back in my collection of places to dine in Mesa. Their creamy chicken corn soup was perfect I thought! The egg, chicken and flavor was balanced just right for me! $At 4.99 for a medium which serves 2-4 people is delicious and a great value. Steamed chicken is what I ordered for my entree. The chicken was not up to par and was dry. It looked like it was cooked the day prior but the ginger scallion paste (sauce) that accompanies it saved this dish! I order steamed chicken/condiment at other restaurants and have it with other meats or just on my rice! I love it so much, that I plan on making this simple sidekick at home. Ginger, scallion, oil and salt. That's it! The servers had a grip on the phone orders, take out pick ups and had to serve all the tables of patrons with kindness. Kudos to all the hard working ladies that night! Chow fun and one of their speciality combos are on my radar to try next!

Asian Cafe Express is conveniently located in the same plaza as H Mart. The food here is phenomenal! The staff were really friendly. The prices were surprisingly affordable. The menu is very large and can be overwhelming, so plan accordingly.I had the Chinese broccoli beef and it was really good. They also have an American version with different cuts of broccoli. Egg drop soup was pretty good.Overall, I recommend this restaurant and will be returning the future. 5/5 stars!
I got a chance to visit this restaurant as part of an UYE right before Chinese New Year 2024!! This place is located in the H-Mart shopping center, it has been around long before H-Mart moved in. We ordered from the Hong Kong part of the menu and we were impressed with every dish that came out. The menu is extensive, and so many good options. I went with a Green Onion, Shrimp & Tofu soup, the medium serves 2-4 people (cup size portions), the fresh green onion on top definitely elevates the flavors. This was delicious, hot, flavorful, plenty of shrimp. For my entree I went with the eggplant & ground pork in garlic sauce, served over rice, the spice level was perfect. Good flavors, big portions. Everything our table ordered looked and smelled delicious. We had great service, restaurant is spacious and has several large round tables for big groups. Parking is shared with a number of businesses and may be tight on a busy Friday night or weekend. I will definitely be back and would recommend this place.

This is my go-to for a comfort meal. XO Fried rice, Chili salt wings, and salt/pepper whole shrimp(with head on) are my favorite 3 items. The price is cheap for a fulfilling meal (with leftovers). I will always come here every other Sat/Sun when I don’t feel like cooking. The service is great and the Chinese ladies are so nice. This really feels like your neighborhood Chinese restaurant.Sidenote: Try their rice bowls! They have a good selection of single individual rice bowls for ~$7!! Great lunch or solo dinner option!

A good value for homemade comfort food! The beef stew with curry sauce & the mapo tofu rice dishes were plentiful and filling. The flavors hit the spot. Very friendly and fast service. Quite a lot of regulars. Surprising for such a small restaurant how many different dishes they serve. Huge variety! Clean restrooms. Crowded parking lot but if you circle enough you can find a space.
