China Express is a great spot for tasty and inexpensive American style Chinese Food. The menu is big and the amount of dine in seating is small. This takeout focused little place has been serving up generous portions here in Pasadena for over thirty years. My wife recently tried the Hot Szechwan Shrimp and really enjoyed it. They serve it with the chili oil on the side so you control your own spice level. We are looking forward to trying more of the menu when the next craving arises. If you happen to be craving American style Chinese food then I recommend you give this good old place a try soon.

This place is an authentic Chinese take away. Reminds of good take away in NY or here in LA back in the days. Only negative for me was they did not have chow fun. Only chow mein but still. This place is bomb. I got the pan fried house chow mein and orange chicken. I can't take photo of chow mein since it still in the large container wouldn't do it any justice but here go's the 🐓 and Sam if you see this. Eat a .... I found it first.

The food wasn't that great, I couldn't really finish it. The thai teat doesn't taste like thai tea, they have their own recipe. There was no customer service. We got two lunch special and two thai teas for $20. Personally, i will not be returning to this place.

My wife and I recently moved to Cali just down the street from China Express and it was one of our first stops to try.

For the price and amount of food and its quality it’s hard to beat. A perfect take out spot for a weekday lunch/dinner. I’ve loved the orange chicken, kung pao chicken, and one of my all time favorites is the sweet and sour chicken. The chicken fried rice is good too. Lunch is a great deal with the egg roll and wonton added for free.

Looking forward to...
