The food taste frozen. Mine was freezer burned. So I am assuming everything comes out of a bag and tossed into a fryer. We called ahead and the food was ready when we arrived. They were fast and friendly and our order was ready, it just wasn’t very good. I would rather pay $ 18 for two meals that has food that actually taste good. The only thing that was okay was the egg roll.

My favorite place for Chinese food AND they deliver! Food is consistently good, portions are generous and delivery time is wicked fast. Seriously. I ordered online tonight and 18 minutes later the food was at my door! The staff is also super nice, whether I go in for takeout or they deliver, they remember me and my kids and always have a smile for us. For me, that means a lot.

You can’t ask for much more out of a little Chinese place like this. I always get the General Tso’s chicken. Their food reasonably priced and they prepare it crazy fast.

Quick, tasty, prepared just how I wanted it. Chow Mai Fun(thin rice noodles) with veggies is my go-to dish wherever I can find it. While it’s a no-frills meal, most places either don’t add enough vegetables or don’t add enough spice. Chinatown got it right. The mixed vegetables with garlic sauce was also great. Perfect portions for the price as well. I know — veggies, rice and noodles is bland, but somehow Chinatown manages to differentiate itself from other Chinese takeout places.

Both the quality food and the service has signifcantly declined over the past year. But I can confidently say that my most recent experience at Chinatown Express WILLBEMYLAST! Intially I was put off by the dumplings filled with minty mushy mystery meat but that unpleasant experience was quickly overshadowed by the 3 strands of hair found in the orange chicken. As far as the other dishes go… who knows? Why would you want to try eating anything after that? After calling to alert them of this disturbing discovery they were neither quick to apologize or to refund the charges and the call resulted in them *accidentally* hangin up on us. With so many options for chinese delivery this isn’t an option you should bother with

Fastest take out West of the Mississippi! Is this the best Chinese food in the city? Oh, heck no! But the food is pretty edible for fast food Chinese, the portions are huge, prices are great and the staff are nice. They also do delivery! A couple of minor annoyances: –For dine in customers, they serve the food on styrofoam plates. I see room for the use of more environmentally-friendly materials. –On their paper menu, they have a «skinny» section where they claim that dishes with shrimp and chicken are cholesterol free. Um, there are no cholesterol free critters on the earth. If you want cholesterol free, you have to go vegetarian. They do have plenty of veg options. Overall, though, I really like this place for what it does, because it serves a purpose and does it pretty darn well.

Had I written this review six months ago I would have given them at least four stars but our last two experiences have not been as good. What I love about this place is that they deliver and while their food is not gourmet Chinese food it’s pretty good standard Chinese at a very reasonable price. We love their sweet n’ sour pork, fried rice, wonton soup, hot n’ sour soup and crab ragoon. Their beef and broccoli, general tso, mooshu pork and low mein are also delicious and have great combo/lunch deals. I also love that they have online ordering but last night their website was acting funny and when my order was delivered they wanted me to pay cash even though I had put my credit card info in the online order and they didn’t get the crab ragoon on my order. Their location is literally less than five minutes from my house and usually our food is delivered in under 30 minutes but that has not been the case the last two times. Last night it took over an hour and the time before that over 2 hours. While it’s nice to have the delivery, I may just have to deal with the hassle of picking it up(with kids) next time.

We called 913−642−0888 like many times before, this time the food was obviously not prepared by the same people. Things we’ve ordered many times before now had peanuts(my son is highly allergic). The food looked way different but the rest of us was Hungary so we gave it a try, the food was not fresh, tasted nasty, and we all got sick from it… I will never order from there again. Nor will I recommend it to any one. It was Sakura before and they was Excellent. I don’t know what happened to them but I will miss them.

Four stars for basic Chinese takeout? You’re damn right! Here’s why… They deliver. They deliver very fast. ((when the driver comes my three year old always says, «hi China food man!» The delivery driver is the kindest older gentleman and he always smiles and greets my daughter back warmly. This makes daddy happy!)) You can order and pay online! My order is always accurate and consistent. The food here is well prepared and reasonably priced. Just like at their other location on Johnson Drive, it’s not gourmet, it’s just good!

First time here, I did takeout. It was okay, but nothing better than what I can get at most other places in town. Crab rangoon was crispy and sesame chicken was good — it’s just nothing that I’d necessary make a special trip for.

I love this place! They always make fresh food when you order and it is always a great spot for good quick cheap Chinese, and it helps that the service has gotten a little better too.
