Acme Express

I absolutely LOVE Acme Express! Tina and her husband are amazing, and they remembered my name after the first time I ever placed an order, and they use it when they greet me every time. The food is always AMAZING and tastes so fresh and well cooked. I’m a sushi lover, but I really don’t like wasabi and ginger with it. Tina asked me about it one time, and they leave it out of the box every time now without me having to ask. I go here every chance I get!

I ordered the Singapore Style Noodles.
Pros: generous portion, fresh ingredients.
Cons: one dimensional flavor. WAY too salty.

Last night I stopped by for an order of Honey Walnut Prawns. OMG! It was absolutely PERFECT! The prawns were nice and large — with a bit of batter that was crisp and clean. They were perfectly cooked — not raw nor rubbery! The lettuce adds just the right crunch and color, and the walnuts added just a hint of sweet and a good flavorful crunch! Of course the sauce makes this dish — and the prawns were beautifully coated with just the right amount of sweet and delicious sauce, while the lettuce and walnuts had a bit on them as well. Adding the dish to a hot plate of rice made the tastiest and most beautiful meal! OMG! Oops, almost forgot — black and white sesame seeds really added to the gorgeous appearance too. Not only does the food taste good here — it always looks good too! Again — perfect!

I order almost every week. The food is so fresh, they add the sauces literally right before you pick up. The chow mein is particularly tasy. The staff is super friendly and I’ve never had a problem. Love this place and highly recommended.

As I was eating here I noticed that everyone was a regular and the owners remembered all of the customers, so cool! I got the vegetable chow mein and the mixed vegetables with tofu. It was tasted so fresh and delicious! We also ordered the doughnuts and I was surprised at how many we got for the price. This place has awesome food and is such a great deal, I can see myself becoming a regular here too :)

Made my first stop in to Acme for a quick rice and veggie plate today. I really enjoyed the slightly sticky, but still fluffy brown rice and the veggies were perfectly cooked and a nice variety. I’m pretty sure this was enough food for two! I also loved that they have little takeaway containers of the chili garlic sauce.

Everything I’ve ordered has been delicious! The staff (of family) is amazingly nice and even remembers my name when I return. ACME Is always my first option when I’m in the mood for Chinese food!!!

Wow. Talk about fresh, not just once but every single time. Chinese food is one of my favorite, and after having Gary’s food… there is no comparison. Hands down the best! But their customer service tops it off, they are ALWAYS very nice and very friendly. P. s. the chow mein is perfect, not greasy plenty of it and did i say fresh??? Yummo. Keep up the awsome work.

I came to order some sushi and fried rice and sweet and sour chicken. These people here are the best. Very friendly and great customer service. Food is always excellent and I never have a problem coming here. All around great Chinese food and fast service. I always come here because they make you feel welcomed and it is very much appreciated.

Great place to eat, they have a wide variety of Asian food. The sushi is good and chow men is great. It’s the best Asian place to eat in Martinez. Great friendly service.

What happened ACME? Today I ordered the mixed vegetables & steamed rice lunch special. They used to serve the cooked vegetables in a savory sauce. I’m not even sure they cooked the vegetables today.
You know it’s not right when soy sauce isn’t even helping…

I went here with my husband Leroy. The owner greated us before we got inside. She was so pleasant and sweet. We had pot stickers, fried calamari, general chicken, fried rice, chow mein, and teriyaki chicken. Everything was hot, fresh and so good! The portions were big, we had to take the rest to go. We did enjoy it the next day for lunch. Every time we’re in Martinez we would love to stop in for some great food!

Great food, great customer service. These are the things that matter to me. I have become a return customer and they are consistently good in both ways.

*meow?*
I question to myself as I look upon this restaurant that seems to have both Chinese and Japanese food? Usually this is a turn off for me, the way I see it, a master of all is a master of none. You know how it is, those restaurants you see that claim to have 2 or 3 kinds of ethnic foods, where the owners would be only one of those ethnic backgrounds if even any of them at all. Those kind of restaurants from my experience are usually quite sub par. Taking a trip with a close friend who happens to like both simple stereotypical Chinese and Japanese food, I thought I would give Acme express a quick try, and to satiate the hunger that we were feeling after a local hike.
First, I must say, this place is tiny, but doesn’t feel crammed, The woman who spoke to us and took our order was very nice and pleasant. Pretty standard sort of options on the menu of what you would expect to see in such a restaurant. They had some special where you could choose a dinner item with sushi, so we opted for that. I also decided on their «Crazy horse» roll on their sushi menu to give it a try.
My order of chow mein and california rolls came quite quickly, and it was ok. I wouldnt say anything about it was super special or outstanding, but noting that I am also a picky cat, the fact remains that it was not «bad» either, and it was enjoyable for me. The avacado in the california roll seemed to be not quite ripe it seemed though, as I am used to eating a soft avacado in a roll, not a harder piece. Despite this, it was not bad.
One thing that wasn’t too big of an issue but something I noted was that it took a long time for the crazy horse roll to come out. Usually restaurants will bring out the dishes in a close manner, but it took many minutes after both me and my friend had finished out plates that they then brought out the roll. Again, not too much of an issue honestly, but something I felt I should note.
Overall, I feel Acme is a great place if you are hungry and just want to get something simple, not too fancy, nothing too special. Overall a quick bite. Also good for take out orders it seems as I saw many families coming in to get take out orders to bring home.
Simple, nice owners, ok food, solid.
*Chirp!*

Reliable, consistent, delicious, fast, and always amazing service!!!
This is a fabulous little local spot that we have come to absolutely love over the last couple years. And it’s a great place to get my Chinese food fix and a sushi fix. Their totally killer Mt. Diablo roll— a sinfully delicious and tasty little treat indeed!!! Their egg rolls are always on point too. And the Won Ton soup? So cozy and LOADED!!! I hate having to search for won tons in my won ton soup at other places– Acme knows how to load their soup up right!
There aren’t enough words to explain how much I wholly love this place– the food, the environment, the cozy vibes, and the absolutely sweet and wonderful people that keep this place running.
A wonderful Martinez gem!

Super good! Not too greasy (like so many other places) flavors were good. Loved the honey walnut chicken. Nice and light and crispy. Hubs had the broccoli beef, a little on the soy sauce side. Chow mein was great as were the gyoza rolls. To top it off the people there were nice to boot.
Mmmmmm. We will be returning. So glad they are close by.

Love love love this place! Boyfriend and I just visited for dinner. Their food is amazing! Very fresh and delicious. We loved their house sauce. It went well with gyoza and salt and pepper fish. We also tried their sweet and sour pork which was tender and their chicken teriyaki that was just oh so good. We can’t wait to be back!

I love this spot! What makes a great restaurant (no matter if it’s fast food or fancy) is great customer service paired with great food! I love me some Chinese food, and what I love about this place is that when ordering to go they always address me by name, and ask when I want to pick up my food. They are so personable and genuinely friendly.
Will be a regular here!

Tried the honey walnut prawns today and they were very good; not too much batter or mayo sauce. I wish that they had lunch specials on the weekend; it was a little pricey for a Chinese lunch since they didn’t have specials.
The owners were very friendly and both came to check to see how I liked my meal. It’s a pretty small place and I think they do a lot of takeout business.

Solid Chinese food. Easy take out. Acme feast feeds family of 4 easy. 30.99. Call ahead if u don’t want to wait.
