China Express by Food4Less — Restaurant in Stockton

Update: Sunday, September 28, 2025 PM CHINA EXPRESS… I’ve given you more chances than I should. I am done with you. Dried out rock hard sweet-and-sour pork that should’ve been thrown out instead of being sold! Dried out chicken legs that were chewy as jerky! How can you sell this stuff to customers❓❓ The Filipino chow mein was OK because it was cooked to order. All of your food would be good if it was fresh and hot and cooked to order. But I’m not willing to pay another $30 just to throw out $30 worth of food because it’s inedible! I’m not giving you another chance. Next time I will try Dynasty or Dave Wong‘s. Or maybe even Chow to go on West Hammer Ln.. Those places don’t have a steam table where stuff sets out for hours and gets petrified! I will miss the lovely ladies that serve the food at CHINA EXPRESS but I will not miss the food. Let me know when you change your methods and improve your food.

It’s been about a year and a half since I’ve been in the store. My son stops here once in a while. He picks up food to bring over to the house to eat. I noticed they made a few changes. It looks like they have some additional items on the food line such as spicy wings. I always look forward to going here though, I get the best service from both Regina and Su‼️ Both are amazing employees that take really good care of the customers. I want to say Regina has been there for decades. 🥰 Tonight I ordered the Chinese chicken salad and fried chicken legs. Both were good. The chicken legs are plump and tasty…lots of meat. The salad has plenty of chicken and has a nice tangy dressing. The only thing I would like to see is the lettuce chopped up a little bit smaller. Other than that I really enjoyed my dinner and I know I will return soon! Thank you Regina‼️ ———————— Update: Saturday, January 4, 2024 PM

Omg… DO NOT ORDER SWEET-AND-SOUR PORK UNLESS THEY COOK IT FRESH. LAST NIGHT IT WAS LIKE ROCKS‼️‼️

The rice was OK. The barbecue pork was OK. My son said his chow mein was OK. But I had to throw away the sweet-and-sour pork‼️ ————————- Update: Wednesday, September 28, 2022 I ordered: fried shrimp BBQ pork cabbage Filipino pork chow mein

Regina took good care of me tonight. As she always does! Thank you Regina.

All three items that they ordered were cooked fresh and were very hot! Couple of different items that I had not had before…the Filipino pork chow mein was made with really small noodles. I liked that. Plus it didn’t seem as greasy as the regular chow mein. The BBQ pork cabbage was interesting. Obviously, you have to like cabbage. Overall it was good. I would order it again. So much food! This will be enough for three meals for me. All the prices have gone up a dollar or two in the last year… just like every other place. If you haven’t been here it’s worth trying. You certainly get your moneys worth. You can either choose items from the steam table or from the menu that they cook order.

China express is good for what it is… a fast food Chinese takeout. Prices are reasonable. Food is pretty good.. Friendly employees. Big portions!

A two item dinner with chow mein or rice would be enough for two people. Just don’t go too late after the dinner hour because they start cutting down on the selection and they don’t cook as much.

Tonight I had a two item dinner which consists of chow mein (or fried rice) and for my two items I chose chicken…four legs.

I also purchased a chicken salad which is good. Comes with tangy dressing and plenty of chicken.

Very efficient employees. A special shout out to Regina. She always takes good care of me. She has worked...

The food is decent. The vegetables in their dishes seem to be fresher than most Chinese cuisine restaurants. They don't always have the basic dishes that you would expect to see ready in their buffet type display. So you have to wait if you want things like pot stickers, egg rolls, etc. The serving sizes are pretty standard for Chinese takeout. The prices are not cheap even though this isn't a gourmet restaurant. Expect to pay $8-$10 per dish. This is only take out, there is no option to sit and eat, even outside. The employees have heavy accents and it is difficult to communicate with them, so stay off your cell phone so you can order and not hold up the line. Also, just expect a line in their...

This is probably the absolute worse Chinese food I have ever eaten. $50 down the garbage disposal and even the disposal didn't want it. Beef tastes very spoiled, even though a tun of sauce is added. Teriyaki does not smell or taste like its supposed to. The noodles seem to be spaghetti concealed in soy sauce. Fried calamari is a complete joke. Lumpia is not right size and is filled with what tastes like cat puree, I assume. Never ate cat food but it's what I associated it with. Kung pao is discusting... which is really hard to mess up that dish. No flavor. I can't believe my son said all his Asian friends likes this stuff. Maybe it was a bad day for the kitchen but it was certainly...
