“Ojai’s Best Kept Secret!”
AJ Chinese Express never disappoints! Their orange chicken is perfectly crispy with just the right tangy-sweet sauce, and the vegetable lo mein is loaded with fresh ingredients. The egg rolls are huge and packed with flavor. Fast, friendly service and fair prices make this our go-to spot for takeout!
“Family Favorite for Years!”
We’ve been coming here since my kids were in elementary school – now they bring their college friends! The sesame chicken is always tender, and the fried rice has that authentic smoky wok flavor. Generous portions mean leftovers for days. A true Ojai treasure with the best hot & sour soup around!
“Perfect Takeout Every Time!”
I order from AJ Chinese Express at least twice a month, and the food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. The beef with broccoli travels especially well – the meat stays tender and the veggies crisp. Their crab rangoon is crispy and creamy perfection. Lunch specials under $10 are unbeatable!
“Authentic American-Chinese Classics!”
As someone who grew up eating at Chinese restaurants in LA, I can say AJ Chinese Express gets it right. The kung pao shrimp has just the right Szechuan kick, and the egg drop soup is comforting and rich. The dining room is always spotless, and the staff remembers regulars. Ojai is lucky to have them!
