Customer Review Summary
Chicken and veg chow mein and sweet and sour chicken with chow mein come up repeatedly as the dishes reviewers order and enjoy, described as hot, tasty, crispy outside and tender inside, with good portions and fresh vegetables. Chicken in black bean sauce with noodles also draws praise for value and a prompt, polite delivery. A change in ownership divides opinion: several longtime customers admit hesitation but report improved food and continued care, while others describe a sharp decline, citing stale crispy noodles served as fresh, cheaper cuts of meat, and a chicken dish that turned out to be mostly fat and gristle. One reviewer separately received an incorrect, greasy order with an unpleasant egg smell. Another reviewer, ordering the Nasi Goreng, describes a large fly emerging from the kitchen and calls the place dirty, though the food itself was piping hot. Portion sizes are occasionally flagged as inconsistent, though most describe good value for a quick, casual meal.

“Placed an order received incorrect item. Food greasy and covered in soya sauce, and with big lumps of egg which made it smell awful. Ordered a chicken dish and it was just fat and gristle, definitely not chicken. Very disappointed. I have …”

“Have been customers of Ealing Express for a few years now, we were hesitant to order once we realised it was under new ownership- however we are pleasantly surprised! Lovely food, portions on some things could improve but lots of care put into the business! Good stuff!”

“The new owners are a disaster. I asked to get some fresh crispy noodles & they serve me 2 day old stale noodles. When I ask them about it, they lie & tell me it’s fresh. Then that it’s 1 day old, then that’s it’s actually 2 days old. I ask them to make a fresh batch & they refuse. They have no care for the customer any more. Never again! The last time I had the chicken curry, it had raked slightly different but I wasn’t expecting this level of disregard from what used to be a respectable place.”
- Angela Paget
“Ordered from here for 1st time- arrived 10m early. The food was hot and tasted amazing- I ordered the chicken in black bean sauce with noodles box.. the quantity was great value for money and the delivery driver was very polite. Will definitely be ordering from here again very soon.”
