About China Express
China Express is a Chinese restaurant located at 7428 Cortez Rd W, Bradenton, FL 34210, USA. They can be contacted at (941) 761-3170 or +1 941-761-3170.
As a Chinese restaurant, China Express offers services such as delivery and takeout. Customer reviews present a varied perspective on the quality and authenticity of their food. One customer reported receiving vegetables with white rice instead of vegetable chow mein and expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of the sweet and sour chicken, which they believed to be pre-breaded and frozen. This reviewer also strongly disagreed with any comparison to "New York style" Chinese food.
Another customer had a similarly negative experience, stating that the shrimp fried rice was the only edible part of their meal. This suggests potential inconsistencies in the taste and preparation of their dishes.
However, not all feedback is negative. One long-term customer, who previously lived in Clearwater and tried other Chinese restaurants, considers China Express to be the best in the area. They frequently have food delivered, noting that it consistently arrives hot, even with an expected wait time of at least 30 minutes. This customer also highlighted the restaurant's ability to accurately fulfill special orders made outside the regular menu.
Local users considering China Express should take into account the mixed reviews. While some customers have experienced issues with food quality and preparation, others praise the restaurant for its delivery service, ability to handle custom orders, and overall taste. It may be wise to consider individual dish preferences and perhaps inquire about preparation methods when placing an order.

I ordered vegetable chow mein and they gave me a plate with vegetables and white rice. So I called and told them they gave me the wrong food, the guy told me the chow mein were the deep fried noodles in the bag. Im not chinese, but I know what chow mein noodles are, and these deep fried lo mein noodles are not that.The sweet and sour chicken is obviously pre breaded, frozen chicken, which I normally dont have a problem with, but this stuff is the lowest quality you can get. To call this place "new york style" is an insult to any chinese restaurant in NYC. Im usually not a picky eater but all I could stomach eating was the side of shrimp fried rice I got with my SnS chicken. Anyone willing to give this place anything but two stars doesnt know their a** from a hole in the ground.
Great food! I used to live in Clearwater and tried many other Chinese restaurants but not one was as good. I was so happy when I moved back here. I usually have it delivered and expect at least 30 minutes to get it but it is always hot. I also usually special order instead of straight from the menu and I have never had a wrong order.
I haven't eaten at every Chinese place in Florida. But I have lived here all my life, traveled all over the state, and eaten at many Chinese restaurants. This is the best one in Florida. There are better in NYC, and certainly on the West Coast where you can even get authentic Chinese cuisine. Or any other kind of Asian food. I know, because I've been there too. The best way I can describe the quality is with the egg rolls: fried to a golden crisp and not greasy. But most importantly, the filing is fresh and not frozen. The cabbage is crisp. I don't know if they make them in the back every day, but it tastes like they do. Ditto on the spring rolls. And everything I've had there has been absolutely top notch. Never disappoints.
I eat here all the time the food is hot and fresh always. I have tried many different items on the menu and everything has been good. My favorite of all is the shrimp and chicken curry with a shrimp egg roll yum!! If anyone had a bad experience please try them again because I promise you that you won't regret it.
Ordered food at 5:00 pm and paid for it online. At 6:15 I called and was told that my order left their store 45 minutes before. 15 minutes later, still did not have food. I called to cancel the order because I did not think it was smart for a pregnant woman to eat food that was sitting out for over an hour. Had to call 4 times to try to find out how to get a refund. I was informed they didn't have a website ( they do I ordered from it) and that a third party took the payment. I was instructed to call the third party. I called them and they said the restaurant processed the payment and not them and that I would have to get a refund from the restaurant. Was lied to by the restaurant and had to call and file a dispute from my bank who gladly returned the money. I wouldn't order from this restaurant unless you want food that's left to sit out and possibly cause food poisoning.
