Ordered for the very first time last night & it was great!
Portion size was great, arrived 25 min earlier then was expected, was hot & tasted delicious! Even got an extra dish for free with order because it was over $40 - more then enough food for family of 4 & leftovers for lunch the next day!! Will definitely be ordering from here again!!
We have always ordered our Chinese food from here.
Never had a bad experience always very consistent.
Great food, generous amounts(usually lots of left overs) and great prices,
specially there 8.00 items.
Delivery drivers have always been very friendly
and we wait no longer than the normal hour for our food.
I recommend this place to everyone I know.
Never tried 888 before today and the food was really good. The breaded veal with honey garlic sauce was amazing!! Definitely will order from here again. :)
Best bang for the buck Chinese in the Peg. We most often are blown away by this restaurant because the food is awesome. Once in a blue moon the food isn't as great as it can be but still amazing from a value standpoint. Best egg foo young in the city. Can't go wrong here.
Surprisingly excellent. One Chinese place is GENERALLY the same as every other, BUT after ordering takeout last night, Chinese Express showed me that they are a step above average.
We ordered a large selection of dishes, and found all to be very good. The only exception was a dish called "King Pao Pork", which had too much of an overpowering ginger taste to it.
Everything else, though, Beef Gai Lan, Shanghai Chow Mein, Orange Chicken, Stir Fried Veggies, Chicken Balls, Shrimp, etc, etc were great. The chicken balls had the least amount of batter on them that I've seen in years, which prevented that 'big ball of glue' feeling in your mouth......you could actually find AND taste the chicken.
I'll be back
Good and Consistent. Chinese express has been my go to take out restaurant for the past 2 years. . No one does it better than them and i have had it at many other restaurants. Is this place authentic by any means? Well no, its not, like all the other chinese restaurants in winnipeg they are all americanized. but they do it the best in my opinion. And really with every dish at 8 dollars what more can you ask for. A great please to feed the family on a budget.
Meh. Usually good, so i got the sesame chicken and it was pretty bland today ;( the lemon chicken was a new order and i would soooo not recommend you ordering it, it was hard as a rock and sauce on the side, the sauce wasn't anything special and sure didn't taste like lemons ;p the ginger peanut chicken was good ;)
Fantastic. I ordered here the other day and i would just like to say everything was awesome. we got 5 dishes and the stand out dish had to be the ginger peanut chicken. I have been to alot of chinese restaurants and i dont think anywhere else offers this dish. It had a sweet gingery spicy taste to it and it was phenominal. We also had their breaded shrimp, special chow mein, and pork fried rice which was also good. if i was to be picky their mix vegs could of used a bit more flavor but overall i would definately recommend to all my friends. We ordered for delivery and it did take about an hour but was definatley worth the wait.
We had a great dinner tonight from Chinese Express! Our order took 20 minutes and cost $30 for fried rice, a chicken dish, beef chow mein and free steamed rice with 2 egg rolls as appetizers. When we got home we noticed the egg rolls were missing so we called and they brought them over to our house right away. The fried rice was very good, egg rolls nothing special but still good, ginger peanut chicken was amazing and the beef gai lan ho funn was ok but we didn't think it had a ton of flavor and the noodles were very thick. We very much enjoyed our dinner and would recommend this restaurant.

By far the best chinese food in East/North Kildonan. If you're looking for really good chinese food in East/North Kildonan, this is the place. We have ordered here 3 times in the last month and everything has been excellent. Food is authentic chinese, using high quality ingredients and large portions.
Hot and Sour Soup - Got it the first time and something about it wasn't quite right. A little too sweet? Ordered it extra spicy the next two times and it was much better. Large pieces of tofu, full sized shrimp, chinese mushrooms. This is the real deal.
Egg Rolls - Delicious. So good, we haven't tried any of the other appetizers yet.
Beef Gai Lan Ho Fan (Ho Funn?) - This is the dish I use to gauge a chinese restaurant. I wouldn't normally order from a chinese place that doesn't have this on the menu. Theirs is delicious, using fresh rice noodles instead of dried. Among the best I've had
Black Bean and Garlic Tofu - Tofu is excellent, as is the sauce. Onion and Pepper to Tofu ratio is a little out of whack for my liking, which is the only reason I wouldn't order this again. (Too much onion/green pepper)
Fried Rice - Tried the special, the pork and the mushroom fried rices. All basically the same. I'm not a huge fried rice person, but they're good. Not dried out like some other places are.
Singapore Mai Funn - Singapore vermacelli with pork, thin sliced vegetables and shrimp. This is better than any other place I've had. I will probably order this every time.
Ginger and Peanut Chicken - I've never actually had this dish anywhere else. Lots of ginger flavor up front, with noticeable peanut flavors as well. Ordered twice, great both times.
Spicy Seasoned Squid - Good, but not great. The breading is thicker and not adhered to the squid well. The squid is not cut traditionally, but rather large flat pieces for the most part.
Squid Gai Lan - Got this a subsequent time to the squid dish above. Squid is cut the same way but is much better without the breading. Really good, will order this again for sure.
888 Chinese Express is take out only. People that answer the phones and deliver are very polite. They have a "888 Choice Pack" which we ordered each time that comes to $45 even with taxes. This place is going to save me from driving to Kum Koon or Golden Terrace downtown.
Back to 8 bucks an item. Hey with an item per person this really works out with me I order from the Plaza but their containers are tiny by comparison . I hope 888 can expand with more flavorful recipes cuz i did enjoy
A satisfied customer.. I consistently get delivery from here and I'm always satisfied, all entree's I'd had thus far are scrumptious and the service and delivery people are great. The pricing is fair and the single time we've ever had a problem, they even gave us a sizable discount. It's clear that staff here give 110% and that the owners genuinely care. Keep up the great work and you will always have myself as a customer.
Just wanted to somehow say thank you.
Super yummy food! Remember, they have their own delivery so please call the restaurant and not one of those profit stealing services!
Very fresh and tasty food, always gets our order right when we have tweaks to it. One of our top go to Chinese food take out places.
Quite tasty, decent portion sizes for the cost. Open later than most other places(if only by an hour) I will be ordering delivery from them again for sure.
Love the selection of food available and what I have tried so far, has been good.
This place never disappoints in service and quality or even quantity, best Chinese food in the city. Used to live close by - now I drive 30 minutes back to pick up, love their food so much. I would recommend them to anyone looking for chinese food! Dry breaded veal, sweet and sour chicken ball and Cantonese chowmein are so tasty. Always fresh and delicious!
