Great service, best spring rolls and bonbon ribs in town hands down. I bring them to family in Toronto! Eat here every week.

The service and promptness was second to none. Unfortunately that's where it ended. We eat a lot of Chinese across Western Canada as we travel a lot and we like the food. This food was on par with a fast food court type place, expected better. Egg rolls which are one of our favorites happened to be the strangest tasting ones we have ever had, never did finish them. For $ 65.00 one would expect better.

Do yourself a favour and visit this lovely restaurant. The service is unmatched. The staff knows what they're doing and what they're talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. The food is absolutely amazing and for their prices it's 100% worth it. Highly recommended!

Awesome Chinese food! They have lots of selection (good for picky kids) and the portions are generous. Servers have always been kind to me and my family and even the delivery driver was personable when delivering my food. Definitely a great family owned local business.

Chinese Express is one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in Ontario! I moved to Kitchener two years ago and CRAVE Chinese Express 🤤
Not only is there delicious food, restaurant owners -the Nguyen family are always a wonderful treat to interact with every order. If you have been there and not know about their history and the films that play in their restaurant, do yourself a favour and ask.
Always a pleasure!

Wow! Not only was the customer service super friendly they were so helpful with our party's dietary needs which had a gluten-free/vegan and a keto eater. Food was delicious and hot, good portions, took 30 minutes for pick up during a busy Friday night. Would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to eating again!

During the time of coronavirus, Chinese Express is offering takeout service.

I ordered Beef with Broccoli and steamed rice. Unfortunately the beef with broccoli was terrible; the sauce was bland and the dish had very little beef.

Service was OK. Parking available on the premises.

TLDR; OK service, bland food, not recommended

Authentic Chinese restaurant with great dishes, try their combo dishes that are one of the best. Their portions are super large too and can easily be eaten by 2 people.

Based upon 'tripadviser' reviews - we ordered from here for supper tonight. The young lady on the phone was extremely helpful and pleasant. Once the dinner arrived at our home and after serving dinner - we quickly realized that there was something 'extra'. I called and advised that there was a 'bug' in our food. Management said they could send a new dish OR give us a credit for the same dish. Upon further inspection - it seems 'cockroaches' are a part of the meal. My concern is that my phone call didn't 'phase' them! Not sure how many other

We always order their Vietnamese spring rolls. They used to be amazing. But lately they taste like they were made a week ago, stored in the fridge and thrown in the fryer at the last minute before serving.

The fried rice also tastes like it was made last week and heated just before serving. It's not very good compared to other places. It will have one or two small particles of chicken If you're lucky.

Another thing that bothers me is when we call for delivery, you can hear the disappointed tone of their voice as if you are an inconvenience and they act as if it's the end of

Tasty food and fast service. Try the garlic pork ribs. The battered chicken in mushroom sauce was excellent too.
