A & B Chinese Express

This place is not good at all. In fact they are down right bad!
It took me 40 mins to order. There was only one young girl working. She couldn’t work the computer to substitute green beans for broccoli. Apparently the cooks do not understand English. How do you expect to run a business when a customer cannot ask for what they want.
So finally, 30mins. Later my order is ready. I HAVE BROCCOLI! That is the one thing that I did not want. I wanted chicken and green beans.
So it goes back, broccoli removed and what I was left with was covered with a lid so i went home. It is now 40 mins of my time.
This was diner for my sick daughter. We had just left the doctors office and she had waited far too long.
Well, I just want to say that what I got was nothing like I ordered. There was slimy stuff stuck to the veggies. I think it was was veggies. They and the chicken were now cooked twice. It was a mess so I picked through the container and put some chicken and noodles on a plate for my daughter.
I returned the «USED» portion of the order the next day. Now there were two people working and no manager. Also, no customers.
They would not refund my order. I really should not have been surprised. I don’t understand why they are still in business. Maybe it keeps changing hands.

This place is okay. They jacked up their prices.
The side salad that comes with the lunch special is just a little container with crappy lettuce. Nothing else.
They said they ran out of egg flower soup for my side soup but I «could order it.» Didn’t make sense. I guess they just didn’t want to honor the side soup they told me my lunch special came with and wanted me to BUY a whole serving of it.
I really like all their Tofu stuff. Amazing.
The younger people working at the register are always so nice and helpful !!

Food is okay… Nothing amazing, just standard. Be sure to eat it while it’s got and fresh. The teriyaki sauce, for whatever reason, coagulates and turns to jelly when it cools down and does not liquify well when reheated so don’t bother bringing home leftovers.

The people are friendly… the environment is quiet… and the food is good I loved the vegetarian options. I will definitely eat here again

This was the worst food I’ve ever had, anywhere. The meat texture was like rubber. It was bland, no flavor at all. Tasted like the sauce had been washed off with water. I got a chicken and a beef dish. It smelled like bad seafood.
I don’t understand these 5 star reviews. If I could give negative stars, that would happen right now. I will never eat here again.

A&B chinese express has great food. You cant beat the price for the portion size. The customer service lacks a little but other then that we’ve always have been served fresh hot and yummy food!

I LOVE their food, but they need to have better customer service on the phone. The only good one is the white dude.

Food is delicious house chicken is so yummy the people at the register are very kind I’ve been coming here for years and they may seem misunderstood but are actually very considerate. I give it five stars cause they are always so patient even though I always take my time their patience isn’t thin unlike other places. Definitely would come here again.

I’m actually pretty sad that I have to write this review, but I did want to share what happened on our most recent visit to A&B. We ordered our usual, salt and pepper pork, and when we came home and took our first bite, the pork wasn’t cooked all the way through! They really have the flavors down on this dish, but to bite into mostly raw pork has scarred us and will probably prevent us from coming back here. Maybe after awhile, we’ll forget and go back, but for now, we are going to keep our distance (for everyone else, just be careful). I would think with a fried dish it’d be easy to cook thoroughly, but sadly, that’s not true.

Lunch specials are on point and great prices. Fried rice it’s delicious and their walnut shrimp was fabulous. Their soup can be a little better but it was ok. Overall we will come back again. Service was good and they do have Egg Foo Young it’s just not on the menu

Yummy Chinese food in the Santa Clarita Valley?! Ummm. yes Please! As a former resident of DTLA, the one thing I miss the most about moving so far from the city is the ability to satisfy my anytime Chinatown cravings. Carpool for some honey walnut shrimp anyone? — stumbled upon this gem while looking for a new dry cleaners. They’re in the same plaza and the sign said «Express. Idk why but I assumed it was buffet style, choose your meats and sides type of eatery. I was pleasantly mistaken! It’s made to order and they have a full menu. Including lunch, dinner, carryout, delivery and even catering! Everything. I even tried something new and ordered a watermelon Boba drink! It was delicious! Service was good. I actually spoke with the cashier the whole time and couldn’t believe how fast my food came out! I ended up eating in instead of taking to go. I ordered the salt and pepper shrimp with a side of chow mein. Both VERY good. Lots of green onion and flavor. Place is clean and good sized for a fast food joint. The one star off is indeed for the stench. I’m not sure if it’s faulty piping, but there is a strong odor (possibly water leak?). A presence that if I had not been warned by fellow Unilocalers, would’ve derailed me.
Otherwise, this place is my newest Santa Clarita find! :) Thank you A&B!

When I received a menu in my mailbox I decided to try this place. My GF and I wanted to try the many vegetarian options they have. The first thing is they don’t have a public restroom. I like to wash my hands before I eat. My main issue with this place is they are not eco friendly at all. Even if you order to dine in everything is served in or on plastic or styrofoam. They are too cheap to hire a dishwasher. Even the soup came in a foam container for eating in. What a waist of plastic and styrofoam. This restaurant has a huge carbon footprint so I can’t support this business even thought the food is decent. If the owner is reading this please invest in reusable flatware, utensil and wash dishes. You are adding lots of unnecessary waist to a landfill.

There is a rank odor that slaps you in the face when you enter: it’s somewhere between fermented rodents and fish guts… Time to check the filter on the aquarium. The $ 8.50 tofu, eggplant & green beans struggles under the viscus sauce, direct from a Midwestern factory somewhere. The brown rice is without salt, or tea or anything… And yet, the result is really quite edible. «Good health will be yours for a long time.»

Haven’t been here in a while. What the heck happened? Black bean fish fillet was gross as if it were 3 years frozen and they took it out of the freezer to cook it. I CAN tell because I have been eating here since they opened around 2002? Long time customer but now I gotta say my GOODBYES to this place.

I’ve only been in here for the boba but the service is always terrible. Boba is just ok.

Watch out Panda Express! This place rocks. All lunch and dinner are cook to order. If you want hot Chinese food quick then this place is it. I usually come to this place for lunch. I’m a big eater and their portion is just perfect to sometimes even too much even for my big appetite. All lunch menus come with a small cup of soup too, usually Hot & Sour Soup. Today I ordered my usual Kung Pow Beef. Not too salty and just right for my Asian palate. I’m so glad I was able to find this place. Hey A&B I wish you stick around for a long long time~~~

The food is decent for SCV Chinese food. Growing up in the San Fernando Valley, I was used to having lots of choices for Chinese food, not so much here in the SCV. I actually remember this place when it was in the Valley on the corner of Reseda and Devonshire.
The Pan Fried Noodles are good.
Unfortunately, the service here is not great. Unfriendly might be a nice way of putting it. Called in the order, greeted fairly bluntly and rudely. At pick up, they act like you’re bothering them. We ordered a good amount of food to go, but then they wanted to charge me for paper plates. At the end of the day, I understand if you feel the need to charge me for the extra plates (while I personally think it is part of a restaurant’s cost of doing business). And the manner in which I was told this was very oft-​putting. I just gave you business. At least tell me nicely.

Got food today and this place now sucks! Food taste like crap! I used to go here years ago and things have changed. Price has gone up! Portions are now smaller!
The only thing they have going for them is there sweet and sour sauce. I’m really disappointed about this place and will be finding a new place to eat around Valencia.
Three star Unilocal review should go down to 1. If your looking for somewhere to eat — don’t go here

I love this place! The honey walnut shrimp is to die for, the garlic shrimp is average to be honest. The chow mein has always been spot on when I ordered it, as well as the fried rice.
Now I will admit, as many times as I’ve come here, I’ve always ordered the same things (all of the above except the garlic shrimp) and to be honest I doubt I’ll venture to far into the menu seeing as how I’m definitely a creature of habit haha
Depending on when you come and what you get, it can get pricey, however the quantity and taste of the food, I feel is worth it.
It’s a small place for sure, there are times where the owner/​lady can seem rude, however I’m convinced thats just how she seems, it’s an unintended mannerism because she always checks on my table with a smile and thanks me before leaving.
I’ve never had delivery from here so I can’t speak on that experience but every time I’ve gotten take-​out or sat here and ate it’s been an enjoyable experience.
Mind you, this is just 1 young mans opinion, come here and see for yourself! Everyone I’ve ever brought has loved it :-)
Enjoy (hope this helps)

Well, I should have taken hint at the 3 star Unilocal review and the fact that the place had a total of 3 people at 1 PM.
Got the Kung Pow Chicken for lunch, and needless to say, it was terrible. Did not even taste like Chinese food and didn’t have the flavors. Only had enough to fill my stomach and threw the rest away.
Atmosphere also gets 1 star. While eating the two workers behind the counter were having a conversation and talking loud and cussing.
And come on man, turn the darn AC on, I was sweating while eating!
Honestly, do yourself a favor and don’t come here. Go to Panda Express or something instead.
