Not only was the lo mein I got not edible, they charged me credit card $5 extra to add 1 egg without notifying me. I did not approve this, this is stealing.

I've been getting takeout food from here since I was a kid. I don't live in their delivery area anymore, but still order and drive to pick up food because it's the best Chinese takeout I've ever had.

Chinese delivery in this area seems to have many mediocre places so it's hard to decide which one to order from. I had the shrimp lo mein and it was a large portion of hot and fresh food with lots of tasty properly cleaned shrimp. Delivery was fast and friendly even though we're a ways away from their location. I enjoyed my meal and will order from here again next time I want to order Chinese delivery.

This place used to be an absolute gem. I started taking out from it in 2002. I am wondering if there has been a change in ownership. Using a delivery service, I ordered Ma Po Tofu, hot and sour soup, and steamed meat dumplings. Ma Po Tofu used to come in a meat sauce, and had silky tofu. It was heaven. Meat sauce is no longer on the menu and the tofu is now hard. It was unrecognizable to the dish I had ordered for 8 years and was frankly terrible. The soup used to have whole pieces of tofu, other veg, and a darker broth with pleasant bite. It is now a clear broth, with shredded tofu and little bite. I don't understand these clearly intentional changes. The kitchen is the size of 2 closets but was capable of turning out 4.2 food. The three stars I gave was too high in the hopes they resume old preparations.

Carry out from China Express is just like you'd expect from a carry out Chinese restaurant. Actually it was better than I'd expected. I was home while sick this week and American Chinese is a solid comfort food choice for me when I'm not feeling great. Their chicken and corn soup. Yum. They even gave us crispy wonton strips to add it was decent! The egg rolls were crispy and tasty. The vegetable fried dumplings had a good amount of filling and decent flavor. The vegetable fried rice had a generous amount of fresh vegetables in it. Lots of broccoli florets which I've not ever seen in fried rice but a pleasant surprise. The vegetables weren't overcooked. They were still somewhat crunchy so that was also a nice surprise. The Kung Pao chicken was a lot of chicken. Normally it's overwhelmed with peanuts and celery; however, there was no celery (which I was happy about) and spiced nicely. The General Tso's chicken was also nicely spiced and with large chunks of chicken. My partner picked up our food so I can't comment on the ambiance of China Express. I'd definitely order from here again if craving American Chinese food. It's a solid 4 stars! We even have plenty of leftovers for another two meals

I ordered through Door Dash so I have no problem with the service or atmosphere. My issue was the food. The chicken had flavor but it wasn't thoroughly cooked. The combination lo Mein lacked flavor. Even in the meat. I would have added a little soy sauce to see if I could spruce it up but no condiments were provided (I could if sworn I marked this and utensils on the app).Nevertheless, my search for good Chinese food continues.

Shrimp with lobster sauce swimming in a quart of soup.. yuk. Other sauces were not good and barely enough for tasteless vegetables. Won't go back
You got have the meat dumplings!!! You could tell it is definitely fresh made. Friendly lady in the front really help me to decided the order as an Asian. All of my guests enjoyed the dinner. really good food.

I consider myself a self-proclaimed Chinese takeout connoisseur and this place shines among the rest. I also like Tsim Yung in Alexandria and Yums in DC off 14th and P. I still recommend this place over those two places. They actually can alter the level of heat in the general Tso if you ask nicely. Other places don’t care to care — this place does. The Lo Mein is great too. The egg rolls also stand out. Their lemon chicken dish is also really good.

Ordered general tsao’s chicken, mapo tofu and chicken & broccoli. The portion sizes were great, you could tell it was freshly made and everything was really tasty. Highly recommend! It’s a bit hidden and you have to go around a building to get there but it’s worth it.
