Food was delicious and hot upon arrival - the portions were huge and loaded with real chicken and veggies! I highly recommend trying this spot to fulfill your Chinese craving.

We do takeout from Taipei every other week. The crispy scallion chicken is our favorite dish! Good prices, great food, fast service - 100% work a try.

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.

The food is decent. Flavor wise it’s the best tasting flavors for Chinese food that I’ve had in Charlotte so far, but it’s extremely salty and the freshness is not always there. The wontons were extremely chewy and stale the noodles that come with the soup were stale as well. The food doesn’t always taste fresh. This place definitely has potential to be a great restaurant if they stepped up the quality because the flavors are really good

This is my third time eating at Taipei Express. I kind of ran into it on accident the first time I visited. I really had enjoyed their egg drop soup. It was tasty and less expensive. My first visit when I got a second bowl, I had accidentally thrown my spoon away so I asked for another one. The older lady with the black hair in a ponytail with bangs pointed to the eating area. I went to get a spoon. However, the spoons were stationed on top of the trash. I went back to the counter and asked for a spoon. She aggressively pointed to the dining area. I told her that I don't want a spoon from the trash area. She reluctantly gave me one from behind the counter.The second visit was similar. This time, I ordered. She gave me a pen and receipt to sign for the purchase after, I used my credit card. When I had finished signing, she abruptly (snatched) the receipt from my hand. Needless to say...this is my last visit here.

Lmao get the beef lo mein and ask to make it spicy. Its the BEST in town. Then if you're feeling CREATIVE add any type cheese. Cheers

This is our go to as of right now when craving Chinese in Charlotte. I still have yet to find a place that has that true Chinese take out taste. Taipei is always fresh and hot. They are are super friendly and we usually don't have to wait longer than 10 minutes for our order. This visit we got sesame chicken, general tso chicken fried rice and an egg roll. My boyfriend devoured him sesame chicken. Literally left nothing in the bowl. The general tso was surprisingly good. Not as spicy as I would expect and also had mushrooms which I didn't expect but nonetheless I enjoyed. Fried rice could use a bit more umph. Egg roll was okay. Wish it was a little bigger. It's a good place if the craving hits. We will be back.

Taipei Express has been the GOAT for takeout around Dilworth forever. Some of these recent reviews comparing it to Chinatown in NYC (really?) and complaining about dine-in need to get a clue. You call in your order, run in and it’s there waiting for you piping hot. If it took an hour you goofed and called during the rush, plan better. The recipes are the same, the old favorites are still great.

Something has changed at Taipei Express. I read an earlier post that mentioned a change in ownership. I've been ordering the Chicken, Shrimp and Broccoli (spicy) for 20 years, but tonight's version was bland and disappointing. The sauce has changed. The eggdrop was bland as well. I ordered $200 of food tonight for my family, who have also eaten at Taipei Express for 20+ years and they noticed the drop in quality as well. What happened to the recipes?? This is NOT the same food. To boot they don't serve the homemade fried wanton strips anymore!Taipei Express was our go to. Chinese food stop. Not sure what we'll do now. So disappointed!EJ

It's difficult to find good Chinese food in Charlotte but Taipei Express came through and is now our go to!Huge servings and you can definitely eat twice from each of the mains. Crispy Scallion Chicken and Pork dumplings are ?

I drive 30 miles for the food. I order the same dishes as before the change in ownership. The service is better, but the food isn't nearly as good as it was under the old man. I think I'll stop making that drive.
