China Express Chinese Takeaway and Fish & Chips in Manchester

Why have you been closed for 3 weeks ?

very very salty. couldn't eat it - I had special chow mein and sweet sour pork. just didn't taste right

The Pork in Blackbean Sauce was very salty

so authentically well made. i just kept eating and eating and eating. im not even on to my mains yet but if the starters are this good then im taking my shoes off for the main course. phenomenal. best £50 ive spent in four weeks. great fortune too!

Duck in Orange sauce + Chicken Satay, both amazing meals best we've had. Chicken balls with Sweet and Sour though, very doughy and the sauce was small and too acidic.

Amazing food. Tasted amazing! Big portions aswell, really fast delivery! Thank you

Ive ordered from this place a few times now, the food quality is consistent and the portion sizes are big. I would recommend if you want a chinese.

Takes people’s cats for ya food, if any of your cats go missing in or around the area I’d check here first

This place has been caught trying to rob people's cats! DO NOT EAT HERE! 🐱🤢🤮

Amazing fresh food, the wrong dish did arrive, but was made and sent out again straight away and was definitely worth the wait

I popped in to order some chicken meow-mein. It had hair balls and and claws mixed through the noodles. You would think the place was a veterinary clinic from all of the cats that were caged in the back. NOT HAPPY. would not recommend

Delivery guy for china express, caught pinching peoples cats!!.. wouldn't eat here! You don't no what's going in your food.. these are pics took from actual video footage of him doing it please look it up.

Delivery driver caught trying to trap cat in bag on CCTV. That's not chicken my friend.

Just seen a video of them trying to steal some cats would not eat from here the reviews speak for ourselves

Ordered chips and curry and had to throw them in the garbage as the chips were still frozen and the curry very watery so thank you for nothing

I'm dissatisfied with one of my recent deliveries. I ordered the house special fried rice, but it's extremely salty and inedible. This is disappointing, especially since I usually order my Chinese food from China Express. sad!!! 😔

Didn’t get my order, it says it’s been delivered

We love this place, food is always tasty.

I overall gave this place 2 stars and here are my reasons: first and foremost I want to say that the food arrived very hot and quickly which I appreciate considering it had long delivery times. The spring roles very good no complaints there. However, I was not happy at all with the chicken balls in sweet and sour sauce - I do not recommend them at all!! the chicken balls come separately and are tasteless, like they taste like nothing and there is no way that the sauce can be classified as sweet and sour sauce. The colour, consistency and smell of it makes no sense at all. It was like coloured water. My plain noodles with beansprouts smelt and tasted burnt on first taste. I had to take sweet chilli sauce out my fridge and added them to the items to add taste and that made it better. the only thing I would reorder would be the spring rolls. I ordered on uber eats where this place is highly rated but I should’ve checked google reviews first so that’s a rookie mistake from me. I do not recommend. I overall spent £20 and should’ve spent in on cosmo instead lol.

Food was late but i digress, the food quality however was terrible. Dry, stale yet soggy as well, worst salt and pepper box i have ever ordered ever

Food really is awful - oven chips and the duck was so dry and in flakey bits. Really bad! And it’s expensive

Gave me the wrong order and won’t give me a refund for it

The food was hot, tasty and non greasy. very impressed with the quality of the food, will definitely order again

Perfect service - first time Manchester - can’t even begin to describe how awesome driver was especially after mistake of address and the the owner of restaurant didn’t even think twice to correct my mistake 5*

Found Pork in the Vegan Quorn meal. Not happy

was early and very nice again.

early and tasty. sweet chilli was more sweet than chilli but still nice

beautiful food good price found my new Chinese 😋

Everything we had was absolutely delicious and I couldn’t pick a favourite thing! I was treating some friends from overseas and they loved every bit of it!

Didnt taste very fresh... shame because it was nice last time

Earlier than expected, tasty food and good veggie options and unexpected fortune cookies, thanks

worst food I've had,chips rotten,asked for pork balls got chicken, sweet and sour sauce rotten taste only think that was ok was the egg fried rice, neither again

Ordered meat pie and chips for my VERY hard to please mum, she said the pie was the best she had had in years!! Chips were good too. I had chicken fried rice and spring rolls, and it was so tasty! Big portions too. Will definitely order from here again - plus the order arrived in around 15 minutes, well packaged and all lovely and hot! Highly recommend !!

Avoid at all cost. Food was cold, soup has gone every where, the soup tasted really bad like the wanton was off.

The app doesn’t tell me when it arrives

Beef with hot and spicy sauce had gone off. Tasted horrible.

Great food but tried placing order on Uber eats and got cancelled twice so I called the restaurant and the person on the phone was extremely rude and ignorant

Cat escaped this cat catcher best small spare ribs 😋

Terrible takeaway... Should've read the reviews before going in...

DO NOT ORDER, YOU DONT GET YOUR FOOD.

Looks nasty. There is a video on them trying to steal local cats so leave that one to you to make up your mind what they plan to do there

Had some mixed chow mein from here and now I'm not feline good 🤢

Avoid this place the owners are on video trying to steal local cats in the area its all over social media they are serving cat has chicken the place is filthy crawling with rats/mice all sorts they been getting away with it for years

Had to call up the restaurant and the customer service was fantastic. Very patient and understanding. Would order again

Disgusting place in my opinion and allegations surfaced of workers stealing cats!

Absolutely discusting do not order from here I mean it what a greasy rip of save ur money descrace they need a chef that's the worse ever an if ur serving food like that taking the mick outa people

ONE STAR SHOULD BE NO STARS. we placed an order through uber eats and shortly after received a blunt call from a withheld number that said the food was on its way. we made our way out to the front, where we had put the pin and the exact address of where we were, and waited. 15 minutes later we received a hostile call saying that he was in a white van and parked at the address. as we were at the exact address, a wide road with plenty of visibility, we didn’t know where the driver was as we could not see him. he immediately became very agitated and aggressive on the phone. after several more withheld phone calls, he began getting increasingly hostile as we could not locate him (despite the fact that we were at the address). he refused to give us his number plate so we could find him, and called us idiots for not being able to see him, despite the fact that he was not at the correct address. he gave us vague descriptions of where he was and insisted he was at the exact address. he began swearing at us down the phone, asking us if we thought he was a liar, and calling us numerous profanities. we had no idea what to do, as we had walked all down the road in both directions and still couldn’t locate him. he eventually told us on the phone he was ‘leaving’ so we went inside to cancel the order. we received another withheld call that our other friend answered, and went outside to meet the driver. the driver had now moved, and was (although not actually outside the address) visible from the street. we received the order, to which he told my friend that he had been parked in a car park nearby (on the phone he was insisting he was at our exact address). he behaved slightly confrontational in person, as well, insulting me and my friend for not being able to locate him and getting frustrated, despite the fact that he was in the wrong. it was an overall very aggressive and unpleasant experience. the food was lovely, but i would not order again with that disgusting customer service from the delivery driver. it is disappointing to see that there are other reviews saying similar things about this delivery driver and get management is not doing anything about it, as the food has always been lovely.

I've been ordering from this place for a while, but I think I'm done doing so now. We made a delivery order on Uber, the driver called to say he had arrived and in similar situation to another review, he was at the wrong place. Screaming and shouting down the phone to paying customers is not the way to go. Also, I called the restaurant for some help and the guy was just rushing to get me off the phone, overall terrible experience. P.S, the food is good, but the delivery driver and customer service... Not so much

Been ordering takeaways from this restaurant for a while and never had any issues, unfortunately today will leave this review due to the disgusting behaviour from the delivery driver. Called me to say he had my order and to meet him outside, turns out he was on a different place not my address because Google maps send him there and he is not paid enough to drive back to my address (Btw, yelling at a paying customer on the phone is not the best thing to do especially if you're the driver). Explained to the driver he was wrong, his response either come to meet him or cancel my order. I called the restaurant and was told another would bring my order but turns out it was the same, he called again stating he was on a white van and would not leave to meet me at main entrance and I either meet get to his van and get my order or he would drive off. I did collected my order just to avoid arguing with ignorant people. I do enjoy China Express food but this really disgusting attitude from their driver really had me thinking if I should order from them again.

It was OK. I preferred it when it was Yummy House

Go in and ask for a “number 61” and they’ll know exactly what you’re talking about. Banging stuff. Gave it to me on strap till next week aswell. Lovely and flaky too. You could tell it was the good stuff!!! No heat with it either. Highly recommend.

I ordered food directly from their website and I found it was all warm and delicious.

Great value for money, slightly limited options.

If I could give no stars I would! I seriously recommend not going for this option when browsing through Uber Eats! Order turned up with only half the items. I called…. The guy shouted at me, laughed at me and put the phone down! If you want a Chinese take away make it yourself or go somewhere else wouldn’t even feed this to my dog Barry!

rudeness of staff sent half of the order, couldn’t have the decency to sort the order out apart from tutting and be rude.

Never again..oven chips and the pie was solid. The worst ever

Hands down the WORST Chinese takeaway we’ve had. The prawn toast was almost plastic and soggy, bbq ribs had NO flavour at all and no sweetness etc, crispy beef was absolutely horrendous I can’t even explain how was it was. Even the sauces, prawn crackers and fortune cookies were all dodgy. I genuinely can’t believe you guys are selling “food” like this, flavourless and just appalling. The bag is basically as full as we received it, inedible!!

Decent chinese and it comes quick!

My chow mein was just noodles with chicken and veg. Very bland and my girlfriend ordered sausage chips peas and gravy. And the peas was swimming in water. Definitely wont be ordering again 😡

Not sure why this place has such bad reviews, I’d go as far to say this is my fav Chinese

Place nice and clean owners friendly , prices reasonable but food was a little too bland and tasteless, not enough meats in fried rice specials saly & pepper ribs dry even curry sauce tasteless would not recommend

Really good portions and everything was delicious!

I ordered The roast pork in black bean sauce through Uber eats and this is what I got! The pork has been cremated It’s inedible and it’s been thrown in the bin. I don’t know how the chef could allow this offering to the public for consumption. Absolutely disgusting. I will be seeking a refund and it will be my first and last time ordering from there. If I could give zero stars then I would

Ordered on uber eats, incorrect items delivered. Food quality awful. Worst Chinese I've ever had. Would not recommend at all

Oriental delight, Brilliant. Good food,great service, professional chefs

Quick delivery , took a few times to get through to shop but answers eventually, food was good and reasonably priced.

AWFUL !! Bad service rude lady on the phone.

Ordered. 45 mins later still no update so rang and got fobbed off. Tried ringing again 10 mins later and they had turned off the phone. Waited another 45 mins and they eventually just cancelled the order.

Rotten, soggy and a disgusting taste, do not order from here..not even worth a one star

Ordered via Uber eats who are bad in a sense but when you pay for you food and it comes like this it's disgusting. Phoned the establishment and got fobbed off. This is just 1 of the items ordered and delivered to my house. My partner took one look at it and threw it on the kitchen side and was not happy to tell you the least. This is supposed to be salt n pepper chicken. It was slimy and wet, it was also Luke warm.

Ordered on Fri 7th of Jan via Uber eats. Ordered BBQ spare ribs-which were just plain ribs with Luke warm sauce poured over , not marinated, ,lemon chicken/rice, crispy shredded beef ,salt n pepper chips seaweed and curry sauce . OMG ! the worst thing to touch our pallets ever , the food was cold, the chips not fresh but reheated, the beef was tough and again seemed reheated , the lemon chicken was pickled in salt and its supposed to be a sweet dish again seemed reheated,. Vile absolutely vile my wife had one spare rib and thought it tasted strange so none of us touched the rest of them and luckily so as she was violently sick in the night . The rest of the food was left and swiftly binned, Had i known this excuse for food was going to be this bad i would never have left it pass my lips and saved my taste buds the insult by not ordering and just putting the cash in the bin as it was a total waste of money . NEVER EVER AGAIN we have contacted Uber Eats for a refund. I am by no means a fussy eater but quite literally i would not give this to my dogs. We eat a lot of Chinese and we like to spread the business but this experience has made me realise caring about peoples businesses is not my concern ,i will now only order from the tried and tested. This food from china express was in a word revolting and obviously was food prepared and left over from the previous day and reheated and sent out, it was imply inedible . My advice stay away from this place it is horrendous a true definition of a waste of time and money

They've had a rebrand and I've always enjoyed their food. Decent and consistent for the price. I'm a regular.

Food never arrived, phone with no answer at all... just scam not true restaurant.

Deliver 20 min late by uber.. cold soggy food .. ruined my evening and mood..not recommended at all.
