China 101 Express

Cheap, fresh, delicious. I go to this place because it’s close to my house. When I get a craving for Americanized Chinese food, this is where I go! The staff and owner are extremely friendly. The food always tastes fresh and the establishment is very clean! Did I mention how cheap it is?

Not too many Chinese places in the «hood», and this one is okay. Service is quick, prices are good, selection of dishes… eh, not so good. I always get the lo mein, general chicken, and honey chicken, usually with a couple (small, but tasty) egg rolls. Again, not too many choices, but food’s always fresh and tasty. Not too shabby for the coin you’ll drop.

This place is delicious! I’m so lucky its close by me. Ate earlier here and they have fresh food out on a steam table we got to pick what we wanted and everything tasted so good and fresh its kind of hard to understand what they say but I felt stupid because I just started saying wrong things to them well now I know the routine for next time lol so give this place a try you will not regret it!

good food, cheap price, nice service and clean place. A must go place for either lunch or dinner

Mann I freaking love this place and the owner mr. Y is so great… mushroom chicken and sum honey chicken uhhh yes plz…

For a Chinese restraunt in this neighborhood it’s pretty good minus the weird characters that hang around because there’s a bus depot next to it. Cheap generous and good.

4.50 entrée, 5.50 double entrée
Theres steamed rice but you cant see it, you have to ask for it.
They’re generous about the food, I get the steamed rice, broccoli chicken, and mushroom chicken. Great food and if they run out of a certain entrée, they make a new batch asap! Nice employees as well, I love this place! Better than the mall food in my opinion, and cheap. They also do delivery, and the charge was 2 $, not sure if it is based on distance or if that is the normal charge.

AWESOME PLACE!!! Just ordered delivery from here and I will be a repeat customer.
Price: Fantastic
Customer Service: F-​ing Great! Very friendly, accommodated all my requests, and driver/​delivery guy was just the bees knees!
Food: Awesome. People are saying it taste like mall food, but not sure what mall you’re going to. My mall certainly doesn’t taste this good.

I totally LOVE this place! The owner is such a nice, kind and caring person. He makes sure you are pleased with his food. And if you’ve never been there he helps out a lot.
The price… You cannot beat it. You get 2 meats, lo mein or fried rice and an egg roll for like 5 bucks. Nothing’s really beats it.
The food is AMAZING. I usually get the honey chicken with jalapeño shrimp they’re really good and freshly made. Even at 9PM
The place is very clean, quiet and spacious. I always take/​recommend this place to everybody.
Oh and they deliver!!!

I visit this place about once a month, it’s a guilty pleasure. Comparable to mall Chinese food, in the best way possible. It’s incredibly affordable and the staff is super friendly. I do the honey chicken and lo mein, so good!

The food is greasy and kinda bland, but it’s quick and it’s super cheap. The place is clean and nice inside, and the staff is very friendly. I will probably go back at some point when I want quick fast-​food quality chinese food, although I may as well just do a sit-​down lunch special at 108 or 888.

I love that they offer to make more food for you if they ran out and it’s almost closing time. That is some awesome service! The portions are big for the price. I’ve only had take out but while waiting the area has always been clean. The people there are always friendly.

Being an LA transplant I was excited to see the combo plates and the food as it was being plated. However, the portions were a joke. I asked for half/​half (normally half chow mein or lo mein and rice) well, the server began to plate it but then compressed the portion to the side (I thought to myself, oh nice, he’s gonna add more.) nope, you would think that if they were gonna be skimpy on the portions that they would spread it out, lol! The food was pretty bland, overall I wasn’t impressed and wouldn’t care to go back.

Shrimp fried rice is no bueno but the setting of the restaurant is styled nicely, very clean, and they are very friendly

The food is surprisingly very good! I tried the general tso chicken and fried rice and lo mein and two egg rolls. It all only cost about 5 bucks. You cannot beat that anywhere. I eat out a lot and this is the best and cheapest meal, I’ve had in a long time in this neighborhood.

Firstly, I noticed this place before it ever opened and was happy to see that a Chinese food restaurant was opening in the neighborhood.
The food: Fresh and full of taste, fresh vegetables, hot and steamy fried ride and lo mien. Honey chicken that is out of this world!
The portions: Just to be honest, the portions you get for the price, I just do’t know how they do it because you get way more food than you expect for the price, in fact, for 5 dollars, I can feed 2 people and still get full, the portions are awesome.
The service: a family owned and operated business, these people make it a priority to make the customers happy and will gladly serve you with a smile.
I’ve been going to this place just about every day that I can, I love the selection and the prices are the best.
I highly recommend eating at China 101.
You may just see me here eating my favorite. half fried rice/​half lo mien (same price)
General Chicken and 2 egg rolls all for 5 bucks, I don’t know how China 101 can serve such great food at such low prices but it’s the best deal in Houston.
Go to China 101 and I promise, you will love it!

Service is great. Me and my boyfriend went pretty late (around 9:30pm and they CLOSE at 10pm) and they offered to make us fresh food if we liked. We said it was okay, but I loved the fact that they offered that. Their prices are great, super cheap. The food was really good! The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because they didn’t offer sauces to go. But overall, it’s definitely a place I will go back to! :)
