Chopstick Express

Took one bite of my food and through it in the trash I have never in my life tasted something so nasty after eating a piece of there sesame chicken. Everything on my plate looked as if it had been cooked the day before it didn’t even have the fresh food smell to it this is the last time I will ever waste my money on anything form here again

Perhaps the worst Chinese food I’ve had in my life. I’m serious.
So, first, let’s start with the presentation; the restaurant is pretty dirty, I’m not going to lie. The floors aren’t clean, there are bugs flying around the place, the tables are pretty old and unappealing, slightly rotting too, and the food is just presented there… honestly, perhaps the worst presentation for a Chinese restaurant to be honest; not to mention the kitchen does not look like the most sanitary either; I can only imagine how dirty it is.
What about the food? Well, the food is sort of expected from these kinds of places; quick ready to grab Chinese food, up to decent enough quality. I’ve had the noodles and they’re all right, but a bit too greasy to be honest, so I’ve definitely had better. The rice is actually decent, but still pretty average and not really special. However, the meat is where these places also pretty much live and die, and my oh my, was it disappointing. The shrimp here is just so hard and awful… it was just sooo disgusting. The orange chicken was way, way too sweet, the cashew chicken was pretty bland, but the chicken overall really tasted overbreaded, undercooked, and it didn’t even feel like chicken! In addition, the barbecue chicken, while not nearly as awful, tasted rather off; I’ve definitely had better.
I was eating all while I saw a customer complained that he had found a bug inside his food, and requested a refund. That was enough to make me nearly gag out my meal (and I did gag out the chicken, although thankfully I did not throw up all over the place).
Not going here again. There are much better restaurants out there. The Hawaiian Barbecue and Popeye’s across the street offers much better food anyway.

This place is HORRIBLE !!! worst Chinese place in San Leandro. I went here today and the general cho chicken was pretty much all bread! It was cold and soggy. The sweet red sauce beef was disgusting as well it was pretty much all bread and the meat was very tough. The staff working there was very rude as well and didn’t seem to want to help me. I almost wanted to leave after the woman didn’t even want to take my order. THe other reviews with hair found in the food was sick too I cant belive I tried this place. SAVE YOUR MONEY DONT WASTE IT ON BREADED CHICKEN AND RICE!!!

I use to go here all the time but with years their food and service got worth so I stop going there … Their is way better place to get your Chinese fast food.

This is the nastiest chinese food ever. It taste old I tried it because I live really close but if I could give it no stars I would

If I could give zero starts I would… my wife bought food here and took it home for us to eat. And when I started to eat my chow mein, it had a freakin hair in it… like a nose hair it was super gross… never coming here again!

Been coming here for awhile but not going anymore! Found a short black hair in my chow main. gross! Going back to complain and get $ back!

The pros cheap fast Chinese take out two dinner plates we’re $ 13, the Cons food was average not bad but definitely not great if your on a budget and want cheap Chinese food than this is your place.

Haha this place bring back memories. I can’t believe more people hasn’t written a review of this place. 99% of San Leandro high kids have gone or just hung out here! Yeah it’s fast food, and i think the quality of food has gone down a little. I’ve been going here since I was a kid, and this place is conveniently located on a junction of a busy intersection.
It may look rundown, but they are cheap, they fill me up, and I have never gotten sick from eating here. I think they have good chicken, and sometimes I go here just to get chow mein to go. They are not outstanding food by any standard, but they do deserve a solid ³⁄₅ stars, no less. Well, if you take into account the dirty place, then maybe. They really need new furniture and to repaint their walls. It’s been pretty much the same for over a decade. And I guess the food isn’t as good as it used to be.
Anyway, it’s an easy place to miss, but if you live in the area, then you’ve been here many times before, got your fix of Chinese fast food, then went on your merry way without thinking twice.

Most people have their own go-​to Chinese restaurant that they can depend on when they get that hankering for fried rice, egg rolls, chow mein, or sweet and sour pork. Since I’m new in town, I needed to find a new place for my own Chinese food cravings, and I think Chopstick Express may just fit that bill.
The place itself is very simple and nothing fancy. But, I was highly impressed with the prices and combinations that provided so much food for just one serving. I was a little concerned that such large servings may compromise the flavors, but I was wrong. The fried rice was tasty, the battered sweet and sour pork was crisp and sweet, while the noodles were cooked just right — not too soft, not too firm.
All in all, I was impressed with the quality and pricing at Chopstick Express. My only complaint is that there are no labels on the options presented behind the glass. Luckily, the servers are somewhat friendly enough to answer that simple question: «What’s this?»
I will certainly be returning the next time I have that hankering for Chinese.

Uhhh I hate to do this
A few weeks ago some girlfriends and i decided to try this place. We went in and the place was dirty, Someone needs to give this place a good scrub. Another thing the staff were rude The cook mesed up our order of chow mein. When we got it to go home My friend looked in the box and fainted. The food looked greasy ok???
I really don’t get how they stay in buisness but for me and my friends we aren’t returning we’ll go to the Great Wall Resturant they serve better food
Another concern of mine is what is in the food. I hope they don’t put poision in their food
To top it off the staff weren’t friendly they seemed misrable. The food gross and the place was dirty.
I hate to give this place bad review but they deserved it

This is a great place to get Chinese American fast-​food. Their food is delicious and their prices are affordable. They have a 2 entrée plate for 3.99. I would go here any day over Panda Express. My co-​workers and I went here for lunch last week. We’ve been telling everyone to try it out. The only thing I don’t like about this place is that high school kids eat there during the week. That’s the only time it’s loud.

I did not like this place at all. First thing ive never been to a take out Chinese place that did not give out samples of there food.
Also I thought the food tasted nasty and really had no flavor I do not recommend this place to anyone

I think this place Sucks. I would not go back and eat here. It looked dirtay and food looked greasy and to top it off the cooked was up his nose diggin for hella gold… ewww! Plus their noodles are hella fat seriously.
I hope since it has been about a year or more since I been here that they have changed but Im scurred to go back n try this place for real and you would think this place would have more reviews and picture when its just around the corner from a high school.

We got a ton of take-​out from here for work lunch. I wasn’t expecting very much but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was actually really good, there were so many items I can’t really name all that we had but I liked the beef n broccoli and the sweet and sour pork.
The portions were very large and overall we really enjoyed the lunch that day, wheras we’ve gotten some chinese food in the area we didnt enjoy this place was really good. We will return =)

I have been to chopstick express twice. The first time I went the food was soggy. I thought I might have just have caught them on a bad day but I was wrong. If you bland, watered down/​soggy sweet and sour pork or general chicken then chopstick express is the place for you.
ps. 7eleven is next door and the food they make is better.

Chopsticks is located in an old Taco Bell. They have their food choices on a long Steam Table like Panda Express. I like ordering the 2 Item Rice plate Combo– Its Fried Rice and Ill usally get Salt And Pepper Chicken and the Fried Fish. That combo is under $ 5. Food is average.
