About

About Kung Fu China Express

Kung Fu China Express is an American Chinese fast-casual chain that has served wok-tossed classics in food courts and strip malls across the United States for decades. The brand built its reputation on familiar, saucy entrées — orange chicken, Beijing beef, broccoli beef — that echo the flavors popularized by Panda Express, but with a slightly smaller footprint and a loyal regional following. The menu centers on the same plate-and-bowl combo format that has defined American Chinese fast food since the 1980s: pick one, two, or three entrées and pair them with a scoop of fried rice, chow mein, or steamed rice.

The chain operates primarily inside shopping mall food courts and neighborhood strip centers, keeping overhead low and lines moving fast. Prices are competitive with Panda Express and Hibachi Express, typically landing in the $9–$13 range for a full combo plate — an attractive option for lunch or dinner without the full sit-down restaurant wait. Signature dishes like orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp remain perennial top sellers, while rotating seasonal specials and appetizers like cream cheese rangoon keep regulars coming back.

While Kung Fu China Express does not maintain the same nationwide brand awareness as Panda Express, it has cultivated a devoted customer base in the markets where it operates. For diners looking for bold, familiar American Chinese flavors at food-court speed and prices, it remains a reliable choice. The official website at kungfuchina.com provides a location finder and current promotional offers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Kung Fu China Express?

Kung Fu China Express is an American Chinese fast-casual restaurant chain found in food courts and strip malls across the United States. The menu focuses on wok-tossed entrées — such as orange chicken, Beijing beef, and broccoli beef — served over fried rice, chow mein, or steamed rice in bowl and combo-plate formats similar to Panda Express.

How much does a meal at Kung Fu China Express cost?

A bowl (one entrée + one side) runs approximately $9–$10. A 2-entrée plate is around $11, and a 3-entrée Bigger Plate is around $12–$13. Appetizers like egg rolls start at roughly $2 each. Prices vary by location and are estimated — always verify at your local restaurant.

What is the most popular item at Kung Fu China Express?

Orange chicken is the top-selling entrée, mirroring the pattern seen across American Chinese fast-casual chains. It features crispy battered chicken in a sweet, tangy orange-citrus glaze. Beijing beef and broccoli beef are also consistently among the most ordered dishes.

Does Kung Fu China Express have vegetarian options?

Yes. The Mixed Vegetables entrée is fully vegetarian and can be made vegan when served with steamed rice instead of fried rice (which contains egg). Eggplant Tofu is another plant-based option. Spring rolls are also typically vegetarian. Always confirm with the location for current preparation practices and cross-contamination policies.

Is Kung Fu China Express the same as Panda Express?

No — they are separate, independently operated chains. Both serve American Chinese cuisine in a similar fast-casual, combo-plate format, but Panda Express is a much larger national brand with over 2,300 U.S. locations. Kung Fu China Express has a smaller footprint but offers a comparable menu at similar prices. Taste and quality are widely considered on par.

Does Kung Fu China Express have a kids' menu?

Kung Fu China Express does not publicly advertise a dedicated kids' menu at most locations. However, smaller bowl portions and à la carte sides like steamed rice and egg rolls are suitable for children. Check with your local restaurant for available options.

What are the best combo options at Kung Fu China Express?

The 2-Entrée Plate (~$11) is the most popular combination — pairing orange chicken with broccoli beef and a side of fried rice is a fan favorite. If you have a bigger appetite, the 3-Entrée Bigger Plate (~$12.49) offers the best per-item value. For groups, the Family Meal (~$34.99) feeds 3–4 people at roughly $8.75 per person.

Does Kung Fu China Express have gluten-free options?

Steamed rice and some plain vegetable dishes are the most likely gluten-friendly items, but Kung Fu China Express kitchens use soy sauce (which contains wheat) extensively and do not operate dedicated gluten-free fryers. Individuals with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance should exercise caution and speak directly with the restaurant before ordering.

Where can I find a Kung Fu China Express near me?

Kung Fu China Express locations are primarily in food courts of regional shopping malls and strip malls. The official website at kungfuchina.com has a location finder. Since the chain has a smaller footprint than Panda Express, availability varies significantly by region.
