This place is bomb. It's our goto local spot for Chinese. All these bad reviews are not fair. They deserve better reviews from us locals. Note, I am vegetarian and have never eaten meat here.

🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨Serious Health and Safety Concerns at China Express.

Please read before consuming any food from this establishment.

This restaurant requires immediate Health Department intervention. Consider this a public warning: repeated, serious sanitation concerns have been reported without any corrective action. I’m posting this so no one else risks getting sick from this establishment

This goes far beyond bad service. In addition to my own horrific experience at CHINA EXPRESS in Brooklyn, NY - customers have reported serious health concerns including RATS 🐀 spotted in the kitchen (as well as their excrement, yes their feces, on the floor), COCKROACHES 🪳 and other insects 🪰 found in food, as well as severe food poisoning after consuming food from China Express.

Additionally, customer reviews for China Express in Brooklyn also cite:
• Customers reporting food poisoning
• A fly cooked into the food
• Multiple people witnessing rats behind the counter and ON the counter
• Employees touching food with filthy hands, no gloves, no washing
• Staff coughing over the food
• Repeated complaints of old, spoiled, days-old chicken
• A pattern of charging people and not delivering the order
• Staff yelling at customers when questioned

This listing poses a public health risk, a consumer safety risk, and appears to violate multiple platform policies:
false hours, false advertising, unsafe food handling, rodent activity, contaminated food, and non-delivery.

Delivery platforms: this restaurant needs to be suspended and investigated immediately.

If you value your health or your money: do NOT order from China Express. Ever.

I’ve never had a problem. Adding this review simply cuz the bad reviews pissed me off. This is my local go to place and has yet to disappoint. I feel us regulars don’t review our regular places enough so then all these random one time bad experiences bring the ratings down.

Unfairly rated. We’ve ordered here dozens of times and it’s always been good. We especially think they do a good job with their sesame and general chicken. The fried rice here is really good and not dry.

I order delivery from China Express. Fried Baby Shrimp at this place is pretty good. I also get Beef Chow Fun which is a broad rice noodle stir-fried. Pork Fried Rice that fried with roasted pork and Hot & Sour soup. Food came on time and very thing is in correct order.

TY TRIOMPH!#1

THE PHONE GIRL HAS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS!! YOU CAN TELL THIS PHONE GIRL DOESN'T TAKE THE JOB SERIOUSLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW AMERICANS ARE VERY DETAILED IN HOW WE ORDER. YOU CAN'T BE A PHONE GIRL GETTING UP IN YOUR FEELINGS OVER A CUSTOMER EXPLAINING HOW THEY WANT THEIR FOOD COOKED ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CUSTOMERS ARE CONTRIBUTING TO YOUR PAY CHECK. IT'S A GIVE AND TAKE BUSINESS YOU HAVE TO BE ALIGNED WITH THE CUSTOMER REQUESTS RESPECTFULLY WITHOUT GETTING UPSET OVER MINOR PETTINESS OR GETTING OFFENSIVE TOWARDS THE CUSTOMER IF YOU CAN'T FULFIL A CERTAIN REQUEST THEN SAY SO RESPECTFULLY WITHOUT A NASTY ATTITUDE LIKE A LITTLE GIRL. BUSINESSES ISN'T MADE FOR YOUNG KIDS TRYING TO WORK IN AN ADULT SITUATION WHO THINK IMMATURELY. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN. I'D RATHER TAKE MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE TO AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT HAVE A PHONE GIRL WITH A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF ALL THE CUSTOMERS NOT JUST SOME OR SELECTIVE FEW THEY CHOOSE TO SPEAK WITH RESPECTFULLY YOU MUST SPEAK TO ALL THE CUSTOMERS RESPECTFULLY THE SAME. JUST BECAUSE YOUR HAVING A BAD DAY OR NOT IN A PROFESSIONAL MOOD THAT'S NO RIGHT TO TAKE OUT YOUR FRUSTRATIONS ON THE CUSTOMER WHO'S HELPING THE RESTAURANT YOU WORK FOR TO REMAIN IN BUSINESS BECAUSE THESE WORKERS FORGET THE FACTS OF THE PEOPLE KEEPS YOUR JOB SECURITY SECURE INTACT NOT YOUR ENTITLED SPOILED BRAT ATTITUDE.

As a Chinese, I have to say that the orange chicken here is delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Disgusting food. They sent me old, nasty, refried wings. I should call the dept of health on them. Complete waste of money. Never again.

SO good! Ordered a General Tso’s with broccoli and house lo mein $21 total. A little bit pricey but after tasting it, it’s so worth it. Both the chicken and lo mein were perfectly seasoned. Chicken was crispy and saucy. Broccoli is fresh.

After 3 years and 10 take out Chinese spots later. This ranks as #1 for us! Price and food best combo can’t be beat!!

Moris Goldstein

Terrible service and never received the food at all. The owner yelled at me and was rude. Never go here
