Update - August 2022 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ My Dad ordered from here today and the food was more like old times. The rice was fresh and the PuPu platter was great. Update - June 2022⭐️ We ordered food today and I was shocked that it was bad. The rice & egg foo young were not flavorful at all and were very dark. And the crab rangoon even tasted different. I’m so sad because this place was an old faithful for our family. So many of the Boston Chinese restaurants have changed bit for the better. Original Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A family favorite. We only order takeout. Everything is cooked to order except the pork fried rice. Don’t order that.

A moment of true nostalgia. As a Boston native, one thing I will forever love is the food, especially the Chinese Food! Chinatown Express is one of my favorite on the go restaurants. I’ve been coming here since 2002 and though I moved out of Boston in 2005, I make sure to come get an order everytime I’m in town. Good food, good portions, and most of all, GREAT Combination plates. My go combo is the D11. Chicken Fingers, Boneless Spareribs, Beef Teriyaki, and Pork Fried Rice. This combination is a perfect balance of pork, beef, and chicken. The ribs are meaty and have a perfect sweet to salt balance. The beef teriyaki is well done and pairs well with the pork fried rice. The highlight for me is the moist, meaty chicken fingers. The meat is seasoned as well as the batter is too. The pork fried rice brings everything together as I take a scoop of rice with every bite of meat. LoL!!!! Now, if you know what’s good for you, make sure to get the Duck Sauce. One thing about the Chinese food in Boston is the Duck Sauce. It’s sweet and provides an added flavor profile to everything on the plate. Also, regardless of what you order, the duck sauce will always make it taste even better. LoL!!! If you're in the area you’ve gotta stop in and get some food from Chinatown Express. The menu has a variety of options. The lunch and dinner specials are awesome. The service is good. And the food is fresh. 20 years later and they still haven’t lost the quality goodness that I enjoy!

Ordered for two a combo dinner of house fried rice, chicken wings, chicken fingers, and boneless spareribs. Received what was more like white rice with only shrimp (no beef, chicken, ham or pork), so that was a bit of a bummer. But no big complaints about the chicken, and I will say the spare ribs were really good. I'm about 2 miles away but the food showed up within 20 minutes and was hot and fresh.

We did take out tonight. I called in the order and it was ready in 20 minutes as promised. We had the pan fried dumplings excellent, pork fried rice, very good, pork lo mein ,very good ,steamed vegetables good. Overall a decent place very clean, we will be back. The portions were generous and fairly priced.
