Cathay Express - Chinese restaurant in Independence - 15411 E US Hwy 24, USA

Missed out on lunch so we decided to stop in. It's been a while and definitely noticed a change. I didn't read the reviews and unfortunately they definitely were accurate. I think anything fried seemed to be swimming in oil/moisture. Major bummer but overall edible. I'd give it a try again. Not having chili or being able to increase spiciness was another negative. It was pretty mild in flavors overall.

Every time I come here the service is very friendly and professional and the food is hot fresh and delicious. The portions are certainly worth the price, the portions are large and I can never finish a dish in one setting. They have really good Rice Noodles and Vegetable Egg Foo Young

I ordered via door dash. I ordered orange chicken, what I got was not orange chicken. It was nasty and as an extra surprise I got a long black hair in my food and could not eat it.

This has been our go-to for Chinese carry out for the past 6 years. Everything is fresh & tasty & hot! Favorites are the shrimp rolls, steamed & fried dumplings, chicken fried rice, crab rangoon. Service is fast & friendly always!

Had their shrimp Lo mein. All I can say is you get more than you bargained for. Very delicious and yummy. I will definitely be going bk to try the rest of their menu. Sorry for the pic but I was hungry lol so much food in the container that I was barely able to be closed. So don't be fooled by the location.

My husband likes this place or used to, and the only thing I wanted from here was egg drop soup and crab Rangoon. The soup was this very sickly color and I found two black chunks of something in it? I decided to power through because I didn’t want to waste it, but it was crunchy? And after about a quarter way through the soup I couldn’t eat anymore, it just tasted so off. Anyway I got super severe food poisoning from the soup and I wouldn’t actually recommend this place to anyone, giving two stars because my husband had the chicken lo mein and he didn’t die ✨

Did they change owners? Crab Rangoon had no taste, beef and Broccoli wasn't very good, beef had an odd taste and rice was over cooked. We used to drive from Grainvalley and now Kearney. Don't think I'll be back. Not the best in town anymore.

A friend told me the food was good here and that many meals cost around $10 or $12. I stopped in last week with a friend and ordered sweet & sour chicken, an order of crab rangoon and soft drinks. First, this place has no restroom. I was told so when I asked where it was as I wanted to wash my hands before eating. The woman behind the counter pointed out the hand sanitizer and gave me a napkin. 2nd, I didn't think much of the tiny dining area that looked as if it had been decorated in the 1970's. We got our food in a reasonably short time. The chicken was below average-really bland and many pieces so overcooked that the dried out, hard nugget under the deep fried coating was too tough to even chew. Although the brown colored sweet sauce it comes with does add flavor to the pieces I could eat as well as the rice. Soft drinks are served as 12 oz. cans which was ok with me but I don't know if they serve drinks with ice. In sum, I felt disappointed in this place. However, I noticed the drive thru stayed busy the entire 30+ minutes we were there. I hope they serve better food than we got most of the time (or their drive-thru wouldn't have been so busy). So, for this reason alone, I am likely to give them one more chance soon. If I do, I will update my review.
