This is solid Chinese American food, which is actually tough to find in Seattle. The cashew chicken, veggie delight, and Wonton soup are my favorites. My partner is a fan of the sesame chicken. The portions are huge and the folks that run the place are lovely. Magnolia is lucky to have this local gem.
So, so, SO happy to see New China Express is open again!! I've been missing their veggie hand shaven noodles like nothing else for the last year or so - they are an absolute must buy, genuinely one of the tastiest dishes I have ever eaten. I also got the salt and pepper tofu - HUGE portion, had enough to share and some for leftovers. This was also delectable- crispy, slightly spicy, savory, and served with garlic and green onions. My partner got the szechuan chicken which they ate gleefully (I don't eat meat so I can't say how good it was, but they really enjoyed it). Everything was piping hot, fresh and ready SO fast!! Delighted that NCE is open again - go support this local gem right now!!
Great place if you are looking for takeout as it is very small inside and no room to eat. I do wish they have you a little more rice with your meal, but besides that, they made up for that with large meat portions when I ordered generals chicken. Tasted great and will be back again!
