I have been using Chen Express for years. They are very clean, the service is good, and the serving sizes are more than adequate. I love their take on fried rice. Being from up North, Chinese food here is very different. This is the closest I have found to real Chinese food. Moo Shu of any kind rocks! We will definately use again and again.

I have been getting delivery from Chen Express for about 4 years since moving to Birmingham. I love this place! The delivery was so fast when I lived in Highland Park that we could not figure out how they did it. I was almost as if they had to cook it in the car on the way to our home! We have since moved but delivery is still quick. Food is always hot and fresh. I often get "Chicken with Black Bean Sauce". It's just absolutely delicious. Several times I have called and been told by new employees that they don't have it and that it's not on the menu, but they do still make it for me after asking the owner. I know this may seem simple and lackluster but the "Won-ton soup" is absolutely the most divine won-ton soup I have ever tasted anywhere in the country let alone Birmingham. Words can't describe this simple perfection. It has made me well when I was sick twice now and it does wonders for a sore throat and when you need something light on your tummy. We eat a lot of Chinese cuisine as it's our favorite. We go out to eat at several other sit down dine in restaurants that are excellent, however, for delivery food and portion to dollar value it's just hard to beat Chen Express! We feel blessed to have it in our neighborhood.
Sesame Chicken. Best Chinese place I've had. Great price for your buck too.
Love this place so much! I always go to Chen express with my family members, the food is so good! Also, they offer free soup during lunch time if you dining in. The servers take very good care of us, Try to dining in there!

Love, Love, Love, HATE. I have been back since the review below and the cashier issue appears to have been fixed. Great food, good price. I recommend.

Chen Express is one of my favorite places and I often go and order take out for a special weekend meal. They have an extensive menu, moderate prices and the portions are huge. They also package the food very well for take out and the leftovers are great the next day.
Great food, reasonable price, so it pains me to tell you that Chen Express has made the worst mistake that any business can make in one of the villages of Mountain Brook. They hired a local youth to run the register.
Yes, you will be "welcomed by one of Mountain Brooks very own... obnoxious, self-centered, entitled, texting little bastards. They don't care about you or your order, they just cannot believe they are being forced to do the dirtiest of the four letter words... WORK!
I'll give them a couple more tries, maybe they will fire this little S _ _ T in time to save their business. Worth trying, make your own judgement about the cashier.
Chen's Wins!. Best Chinese in town! Huge portions! Great prices! Even better food! The "Go To" choice for any Chinese!
Delivery was quick and my food was correct and steaming hot. I will definitely order from Chen Express again.
Good food BUT...... There are two main issues I have with this restaurant. #1 - No website and no online menu (fortunately there is Urbanspoon). #2 - They will not divide delivery orders into separate checks, which is a problem when ordering at work at the nearby hospital. Not to mention they don't accept American Express, but I don't hold that against them. We will probably be ordering from Shangri-La next time.
I like the Crestline Village location. Friendly Staff, Clean restaurant, good food. There's a lunch menu from 11 am until 3 pm. Very reasonable prices and alot of food. Door Dash Customers love to order here almost everyday. So get ready to be beyond full 🌝.
Walked in and ordered takeout. Food was ready in less than fifteen minutes, hot and fresh. I'm pretty picky about my Chicken Lo Mein and I enjoyed their version quite a bit. I would recommend this restaurant.
Ate here for lunch. The server was kind and gave great suggestions when I asked for help as I was overwhelmed with the menu. The food arrived relatively quick and was so delicious.
Love this place! Orders are made exactly how I like them and tastes great
THE. BEST. Chinese food in Bham. Lots of these negative reviews have nothing to do with the food - if you want absolutely delicious Chinese food this is the place to get it. Szechuan chicken is my favorite.
Excellent service, quality of food, and preparation for takeout! We are very selective where we eat and Chen Express gets tops marks from us. Our favorites are chicken sizzling rice (for a healthy option!)
