Cantonese Express in Birmingham

Wow!!! AMAZINGLY tasty and very filling, great size portions, friendly and fast service. I'd recommend any day. I found my "go to" food place in my new city.

Food didn't arrive .left starving and too late to order anything else

Lovely staff! Tasty food as always! Thank you

Not the usual Cantonese Express food that I am used to the quality and taste wasn’t there and I am so sorry to say this because I have loved their food for years. The delivery service on the other hand was 10/10 hopefully next time I will enjoy the food.

Absolutely delicious! All arrived quickly and piping hot. Thank you

great food and service as always,fast delivery.

I opted to collect my order, food was hot and delicious. Service was very good and would definitely recommend.

messed up my order and chips were bland almost no flavour. not a great first impression NGL

Great hot food . delivery drivers are polite and friendly . beautiful food

Taste good like Chinese food should do, I recommend this seller yummy

Wasn’t happy with it to be honest I was really disappointed with the fact I only got two prawns in the food and the rest of the stuff wasn’t worth the money I would appreciate it if I could get some of the money back I did try and call the restaurant yesterday when I received the food but I got no answer I ended up putting the food in the bin I will not be ordering anything from there

I asked for no vegetables but I still received my order with vegetables, had to wait over an hour after I ordered it.

Food tasted so good! The chef made it to perfection & made it as I specified in the notes, will definitely order again & thank you!

I cannot emphasis the disappointment every time I order to be given BIOLED RICE a Chinese is NOT a Chinese without fried rice I constantly put in comments I want fried rice and NEVER get it I have started looking at other place to order because of this issue

Been coming here for years, best Chinese in Birmingham. Staff are fantastic really friendly and food is unmatched. Definitely recommend coming here if you haven’t already.

Open plan kitchen allows customers to observe cooking, and cooks are attentive to quality. It was a little expensive compared to competitors, but service was courteous and food moreish. Definitely recommended for a Chinese takeaway

Great food and quick easy delivery all instructions followed perfectly 👌🏾

The best!!!! Always coming back here. Lovely atmosphere!

Food not great - quite flavourless

the food was incredible, especially the chicken yuk sung and the house special in black pepper sauce. the duck chow mein was also so so good. thank you so much. the complimentary drink and crackers were really appreciated. we will definitely be ordering again soon. thank you again!!

Quick delivery and nice food 🤓👍🏻

food was very good. Bit late, but it was Saturday night, and not too bad. Pork curry and singapore fried rice :-)

5* chinese takeaway. Cash only though unless you order via ubereats

We visited yesterday had prawn balls and toast with rice and ribs. Ribs where dry. We have diarrhoea & slight vomiting through the night. the food prawn balls tasted very soapy wasn’t impressed. Don’t waste ya money here

Ordered from here this evening for the first time and it is absolutely outstanding. The food is super fresh and delicious. Perfectly seasoned and the portions were amazing. I highly recommend switching to this takeaway from your usual as it’s so so worth your money.

The food from here is always delicious and actually hot ,and packed safely

An excellent experience. The food arrived hot, tasty and the prices are accurate to it's quality. Lovely lady on a phone, polite and correct delivery driver. Easily recommended

Amazing place, the best in Brum actually, I order via Uber Eats, and the last half a dozen times I've ordered have been stunning. This place, is by far the BEST Cantonese Restaurant I have shopped with in all of Birmingham City, and I've shopped with pretty much everybody. AMAZING service, DELICIOUS authentic food, and GREAT delivery. Cantonese Express are my No.1 place for authentic Cantonese Food in Birmingham. They have NEVER disappointed !! It's rare in this city, or any other globally, to bump into people that really mean it. They're AMAZING !! Thank YOU so much. A THOUSAND stars out of five.

Beautiful food comes boiling hot , the woman on the phone is lovely and polite My favourite take away

Enjoyed the meal , well worth a consideration when buying

King prawn fried toast best in brum hands down

Been eating from here as long as I can remember, litt years, went thru just eat for obvious convenience but was in shock when called up and was told no free prawn crackers regardless of the £36 I spent, only for walk ins and phone orders I was told. Why I asked and the answer was cuz of the price just eat cost them, I'm sorry but your prices are higher on just eat then in store so that shud cover your costs right, why take away part of the experience of ordering a Chinese by removing/charging for prawn crackers, just cheap and the lady in phone was so rude, I won't be ordering here again, food was bland aswell tbh

Very helpful n friendly staff food good quality n not to expensive even the chap that delivers the food is friendly

Delivery was an hour and a half , even though it’s only a 7 minute drive ?!!! The food was absolutely horrid. The rice tasted off and nothing like Chinese rice , I was nearly sick. The only DECENT thing was spring rolls but it’s 3 for nearly £3 which is outrageous. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!

Very fast service, lovely food , great takeaway

Superb and red hot , bang on time 👌

£7 for dough balls. Size of chicken is literally tiny, disappointed. I expected better. The dough is undercooked just to make things worse.

They only get 1 star as they returned money, took over 1 and half hours despite being told 30-40 mins then when I called after 45 mins, I was told within the hour. Then didn’t arrive for over hour +half, food was appalling and totally tasteless, (except the distinct taste of salt throughout all dishes, including the curry) There website puts on a good appearance, but doesn’t represent the food quality, taste and service

Food was great and driver was incredibly polite.

Nice Chinese food friendly staff and very clean

Majority of food was already cold and they did not give cutlery which was a terrible issue with my order last night, this is because I was in a hotel and they did not have and cutlery. So I specifically asked for cutlery but they did not include them. Unhappy with order and I wish for a refund.

The Pepsi was missing and the diver drove off before I noticed. The delivery time was quicker than scheduled which was great.

Not enough meat or prawns in the food, wouldn’t recommend restaurant.

Quick delivery. Delicious food.

Expensive, small portions but food is very nice!

Ordered Singapore chow mein and it was tasteless and over priced. I also ordered a hot and sour soup was literally boiled veg and an oxo cube with chilli in it, disgusting food. Go at your own risk.

The staff are polite and welcoming. They have the best lemon honey chicken I've EVER had. The rice is really light and doesn't sit heavy. The sauces are beautiful, and the food is deffo cooked with love. I try to order something different every time I order knowing I will like whatever they cook. I highly recommend

The sauce tasted weirdly sweet and there was no heat to it (hardly any black pepper). There was more onion and carrot than chicken and overall disliked it. Will not order again. The fried rice was okay.

First time ordering and they did not disappoint! Piping hot food, arrived on time and even the delivery guy was really nice at the door. Definitely will be ordering from here again!

Strange flavour to beef with black bean and green pepper. Wontons decent.

Great food and great customer service

Good food and arrived hot, but thought it was a shame no free prawn crackers were included despite having spent over £20 on food

All meals met my expectations except for the sweet and sour mixed veg.

The king prawn fried rice was really nice and tasted like the authentic cuisine. My order was delivered early and the lady I spoke to on the phone assured me of that. The food was hot and I will order again!

Great food, great delivery definitely ordering again from our local, favourite Cantonese take away!

Very polite staff. Great food. Value for money & great flavours.

Cantonese Express never fails. Food tastes fresh, it’s nice and hot on arrival, it does take a bit long to arrive. However, good food takes time. I think they could lower the prices though as it’s a bit expensive .

Amazing chicken fried rice. Best in Brum.

Really delicious and excellent service!

Food nice. Meals was lovely. The driver was a nice man and always so polite and apologised about my last meal which was missing few months before. I actually was sorry to hear how his wages was effected due to me having a refund on my missing item. This man needs a pay rise !!! His a lovely driver shame more drivers aren’t like him. Merry Christmas 🎄

Rice was too sticky, batter on chicken hard Soup was good

Hot and delicious always enjoyable and staff there always helpful and polite

We had a delivery tonight. The delivery driver always a pleasure to see. Only bad comment I could make about our order was spent 42 pounds and was surprised to never get no crackers. We didn’t order any as usually when spend over certain amount you’ll get free crackers. So that was a disappointment for us. Food was nice tho as usual just know you will not get free crackers even with orders nearly 50 pounds. That’s why we left 1 star ⭐️ off.

Wonderful service will always order with Cantonese express

Wow! I mean. Best place ive ordered from out of all the Chinese Cantonese shops. Deffo found my go to, you can tell the food was made with love! delicious thank you :)

Delicious food, generous amounts and excellent friendly delivery with a smile! Made my girlfriends birthday meal special. Thanks!

However the driver was apologetic and very well managed

tasteless bland rubbish.Binned it

We love the food at Cantonese Express always ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ meals everytime.

The delivery driver refused to come up to deliver my order although I’ve paid for delivery?

Amazing service and lovely food as always!!

I used to buy the Singapore fried rice and spare ribs before I moved away from Birmingham. On visiting today, I decided to try it again BUT I wish I hadn’t wasted my time and resources. Food quality was poor, tasteless and soggy!

Never ordered here before. But thoroughly enjoyed it. Pregnant and needed some nice food. Prawn crackers we’re a bit yellow not sure why but the actual food was beautiful. Loved it all thank you so much Cantonese express. 5 ⭐️ on everything will definitely be ordering again. And delivery driver was nice , even if he made me collect it from car 😂 seemed a nice polite man. No disappointment over here. 😋 😋

The chicken is not fresh , the spring roll is soggy and greasy

The chicken was really chewy had to bin it and the rice was salty couldn’t eat none of it and this is my regular Chinese shop so don’t know what happened today but I definitely wasted my money

Beef in black bean sauce & egg fried rice was nice but the chilli salted chicken was horrible! Had no flavour & the chicken was really gummy/rubbery

Curry pawns absolutely horrible Spring rolls were not deep fried soakie a complete waste of money

the prawn toast is grand, but the chow mein has that cigarette smoky flavour... and the bottle of water was opened with water missing so... yeah in a pandemic i think i'll leave that...

Ordered curry and rice, chips. The curry had escaped from the container and majority of it was in the bottom of the carrier bag. Inedible unless you scooped the food out the bag with a spoon! Unfortunately this tarnished my opinion and I can’t comment on what the food was like.

Disappointed with the chow meins and prawn toast.

Do not cook food to your preference

Food is expensive for what you get. Pork chow mein - average. Sweet and sour chicken- small portion but good. Would recommend Spring rolls- Very oily and burnt.

Good been ordered foods for a while now

The best Chinese restaurant in Birmingham!!

Singapore noodles could have been spicier, but overall a tasty meal

My chicken balls the dough was undercooked if I could upload a picture on here I would I'm not happy at all

Food was lovely but the portion size is small for the price you’re paying is a little expensive for what it is. But was lovely just the size was slightly disappointing. Either add more food or lower the prices a little.

I have just recently started ordering from here, it's been about 3 times already & i can't get enough the food is amazing

We love the Cantenese Express, the food is out standing, they are very very friendly. And they get to know what you like after a while. We haven't gone elsewhere for years now 😃

Gone down hill. Good was tasteless and not great

Just got a menu and can how much just eat add to the. Bucket of chicken on menu £14.99 Just eat same shop same food £22.99 What a rip off. My advice order directly from the shop

Food was on point abd full of flavour

Tasty food and awesome service. What more could you possibly ask for?

0 star not available else I’d have chosen it. This used to be an ok Chinese takeaway, not anymore! Late delivery, very overpriced for the portion sizes received. Compete lack of taste. Chicken tasted like perfume (bad perfume) and soft to chew! Yuk. Upon calling when it hadn’t arrived we were promised a drink or prawn crackers. None of which arrived with the order. After calling again and asking why, the response received was “the chef was in a bad mood and said NO”. Poor, avoid disappointment and order from elsewhere.

Tasteless, expensive, rude staff, awful!!!!

Lovely food as always and friendly staff in the take away - haven’t visited my local Cantonese in some time, but they still are by far the best!

Let down again asked for fried rice and got boiled was told they would get us fried rice delivered ASAP still waiting a hour later!!!! All food is now freezing

Prawns were horrible absolutely no flavour tasted like tasteless slime & rice was nice . Just being honest here
