Where to eat Chinese food in Phoenix.

Asian Cafe Express calls itself a Hong Kong cafe and says it serves Hong Kong cafe food, Southeast Asian dishes and dishes from different regions of China. Its find-us page places it in Mesa's Asian District, in H Mart Plaza on Main Street. Choose it for wonton noodle soup and milk tea rather than a roast-meat counter.

Build an order. Order Hong Kong Style Wonton Noodle Soup, Steamed Pork & Vegetable Dumplings (10) and Hong Kong Style Milk Tea. Vegetable Spring Egg Roll is listed as mixed vegetables, 2 pieces. The noodle section also lists Chinese Beef Stew Noodles Soup and Seafood Combo Noodle Soup. A clay-pot section lists Chinese Beef stew with Turnip; that is a clay pot, not a table hot pot.

Before you go. The find-us page lists Sunday 11:00 AM-8:30 PM, Monday 11:00 AM-9:00 PM, Tuesday closed, and Wednesday-Saturday 11:00 AM-9:00 PM, and says it is open 6 days a week. The linked Menufy page lists Tuesday closed and Wednesday-Sunday 11:00 AM-9:00 PM, so Sunday close disagrees. Menufy lists free parking. The find-us page lists to-go orders by phone; Menufy says carryout or delivery with no fee or radius. Call if you are going Sunday.

Dim Sum Cafe's ordering page has a 23-item Dim Sum section with steamed shrimp dumplings, shumai, Shanghai soup dumplings and vegetable spring rolls, plus separate vegetable, clay-pot and spicy water-boiled sections. The about page also names General Tso's chicken and beef with broccoli, so a dim sum order and a dinner-plate order are different decisions.

Build an order. For dim sum, order Shanghai Soup Dumplings (8), Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (4) and Shumai (4), then add Vegetable Spring Rolls (2). The vegetables section lists Broccoli w. Garlic Sauce and Stri Fried w. Vegetable. Spicy Eggplant was marked Sold Out on the check. The page does not publish separate dim sum hours.

Before you go. The about page lists Monday closed and Tuesday-Sunday 11:00 AM-8:00 PM. The ordering page prints "Lunch Tuesday until Friday 11 AM - 3 Pm" and says Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday close at 4:00 PM; it does not tie that lunch line to the dim sum section. Pickup was listed at 15-20 minutes. An appetizer line is named Delivery at $5.00, but the order type shown was Pickup, so call before you assume delivery.

Tsing Tao's ordering page is a long Chinese-American menu: dumplings, barbecue spare ribs, chef's specialties and a Diet Menu of vegetable and bean-curd dishes. Use it when you want a familiar plate menu and a delivery fee you can read before checkout, not when you want dim sum or a dry pot.

Build an order. Order Steamed Dumplings (8), Vegetable Delight in Garlic Sauce and Happy Family, which the menu describes as beef, chicken, shrimp, barbecued pork and crabmeat with vegetables, served with white rice.

Mayflower Chinese Cuisine is the Chandler pick, at the Elliot Road and Alma School Road corner. The menu is the familiar combination-plate list: chop suey, lo mein, fried rice, potstickers, tofu dishes and a Dragon & Phoenix plate. It is the carryout kitchen in this guide, not a dim sum room or a dry-pot kitchen.

Vegetable Spring Roll (2) and Ma Po Tofu are named vegetable and tofu dishes. Kung Pao Tofu is also listed.

Chen's Noodle House is the multi-regional noodle pick. Its ordering menu names Rice Noodle Soup with Beef in Taiwanese Style, prints 花溪牛肉粉面 beside Rice Noodle Soup with Beef, lists Chongqing Style Spicy Noodles, and lists Duck with House Sauce (Shanghai Style). That is not a Cantonese-only menu and not a Sichuan-only menu.
