Asian Cafe Express

It's very easy to give Asian Cafe Express 2 stars. Walking inside, it is extremely humid, and it's barely February. The dining room is large and can fit 40+ people, but I can't imagine being in there for longer than 5 minutes. The only "good" thing about this restaurant, is the portion size. And by good, I mean good; not great. The large teriyaki chicken bowl comes with a good size portion of poorly cooked, and flavored, chicken. And the cuts of chicken used is so mysterious, it looks like pieces from every part of the chicken is in each piece. The rice is also just normal, long grain white rice similar to Panda Express. The large teriyaki chicken bowl and the sweet and sour chicken bowl was $28. Honestly, I'd ask for a refund, as the sweet and sour chicken was just unpleasant to eat. V

This restaurant has been my go to dine in and take out Chinese food since moving into garden grove neighborhood, 2017. Prices have maintained over the years and the value is amazing. Today I had the sweet and sour chicken lunch and crab puffs. Also recommend garlic chili oil chicken, steamed dumplings, chicken chow mein, and any of the coffee or teas. Kitchen is fast and efficient. Also the ladies that work here have a great memory for customers and treat everyone so well. For such a modest place the service is far beyond what’s expected. At the end of service the staff happily packs up your leftovers. Great job!!! Thank you for feeding me & my family all these years.

Secret gluten free options! Delicious, affordable, fast and friendly service. It’s not listed on their menu but they can do some dishes gluten free! I’ve gotten beef and broccoli, ginger fish, and many veggie dishes all gluten free. Just ask them! They always remember me and my girlfriend even tho we only come every couple months. Very sweet people :) support this place!

Is it a beautiful, fancy looking restaurant? Naw. But boy is this food good and AUTHENTIC. I lived in Hong Kong for a while and am a snob when it comes to my Chinese food… and this was SO good. The staff was so friendly and even taught my family some Cantonese. We got the family special with five dishes and it was so much food. I’m not local but if I ever come back, I’ll be back.

Asian Cafe Express is conveniently located in the same plaza as H Mart. The food here is phenomenal! The staff were really friendly. The prices were surprisingly affordable. The menu is very large and can be overwhelming, so plan accordingly. I had the Chinese broccoli beef and it was really good. They also have an American version with different cuts of broccoli. Egg drop soup was pretty good. Overall, I recommend this restaurant and will be returning the future. 5/5 stars!
