Website said 3 dollars for a pint of duck sauce so I ordered it but when I picked up my order there were only 3 Little containers when I called to ask where is the duck sauce I paid for and can I get more duck sauce or my money back I was told that the web site was wrong and I received my money's worth!!!! I'm going to report this to the better huisness bureau they have been doing this for years and now I am tired of begging when I'm spending my money!!!!!

I am extremely disappointed. I was expecting noodles with my chow mein but instead I essentially got a soup. Believe it or not, the liquid was filled to the top of this bowl.

Like most of you my family has been coming here for Chinese food for years My aunt came into to and was craving the food from years past, this was not it. Cathay Pacific is a better route.

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!
