I honestly wish I was able to give no stars. The cheese wontons were clearly holding expired whatever kind of cheese that was. Super sour. Cold food. No sauces when I asked for extra. Super disappointing read more

Stumbled in here by accident. Good food. Good service. Everything was very delicious and flavorful. I ordered takeout and had to bite into the fried cheese wontons once I sat down in the car. Overall good! I highly recommend. read more

We enjoyed our lunch here. I ordered the Eggplant and it was delicious. The best part of the meal was the friendly server Amy! What a great person. We're coming back for sure. read more

Done with this place. They almost always leave something out of our order. We've spent a lot of money at this place but have to watch the order carefully or they "forget" something. Usually it's the egg rolls they forget. Today, my wife added a bubble tea to the order and they didn't give it to her. When we went back to get it they blatantly lied to her face and said she never ordered it. Even if the food was really good (it's not) it wouldn't be worth the bad service. We won't be returning. read more

Great food! Prompt service, best Chinese around. Parking is chore depending what time of day, but well worth it.

We haven't really been able to find Chinese food that is actually good here when we are upstate but we happened to stumble upon this place one night. It was late after a movie and they were about to close but the owner was behind the counter and allowed us to order.. We had specified that it was our first time and she was very helpful and informative on helping us pick our dinners and even made is 3 boba teas fresh to order! We ending up ordering the chicken lo mein, shrimp fried rice and lemon chicken which were all so fresh! Flavors were wonderful and delicious and reminded us of Chinese food back home in the city which made us very happy because now we have our go-to place up here! They have just opened another place in Oneonta called Oney Poke that will definitely be trying next.. ask for Ivy the owner she is fantastic and will take care of you every time. Definitely give a try this local place!! read more

China 19 - Green tea boba! Yum! - Chinese Near Me - Oneonta, New York

Typical chinese food. Haven't attempted any of their Japanese fare. They don't have anything particularly unique, but what they have has been good. I especially enjoy the sezcheuan (spelling?) dumplings. their combos are good, but the fries rice is lacking... not sure i can describe now exactly. We'll go there again bc you can order online! read more

China 19 is a really great restaurant and has really great food. I ordered lo Mein and and egg roll and it was just as expected. Cooked just right. Delivery price is very reasonable and my food was here much quicker than most delivery places. This will definitely be my go to Chinese place read more

Ordered our lunch as we do EVERY week. EVERY week we order the same items. EVERY week they screw up the order and if we call to complain they blame US. Today when I called because the screwed up AGAIN they put the phone down and proceeded to claim that WE always have an issue. WELL if you could manage to make our order without screwing it up we wouldn't call to complain!! We have waited over an hour and half for deliver before, we get no pasticware, no sauces, no soda that we paid for, today we got food we did not order, and then the food we did order was not prepared as it said on the ticket. This is THE single most unprofessional restaurant I have been to. Their customer service SUCKS. I NEVER complain at a restaurant. This is the only one I complain about. THEY NEVER apologize for ANYTHING THEY do wrong. And their answer? Then don't come here. WOW...okay!!! read more

I'd like to give them less than 1 star. The service was bad and so was the food. Ordered half a roasted duck and turn out it had 7 small pieces and the rest was veggies. read more

China 19 was the best thing to happen to me yesterday. I was stuck at a hotel in Oneonta because of the snowstorm and rolled my eyes at everyone clearing out the supermarkets two days prior in anticipation that the town may be shut down. Yeah right, I thought. Well I thought wrong and for two days I was stuck eating whatever wildly unhealthy snacks they had at the 2 by 4 convenience stand in the hotel. Tostito chips and chex mix can only get you so far. My car was stuck in the parking lot and I needed assistance digging it out so I knew the only way I was getting something decent to eat was if a place was delivering. I used Yelp to find a restaurant that offered delivery and China 19 was affiliated with Yelp Eat 24 so I downloaded the app and it couldn't have been easier. I ordered steamed vegetable dumplings and steamed chicken and broccoli. I modified the chicken and broccoli dish to be steamed without any sauce and asked for brown rice instead of white. After placing the order, I called to confirm they received it and was told they would be here in 45 minutes. The Yelp Eat 24 app told me they would be arriving at 3:30 and that they were on schedule. At 3:45 I decided to check for an update on the app because they still hadn't arrived. The application contacts the restaurant and then they communicate back to the app with a response. Seconds later, I was told my food was just leaving the restaurant. It was so easy and although they came 20 minutes later than originally planned I appreciated the ability to get an update like that. The food came piping hot, $19 before tip, which considering what I got was definitely on the high end, however there was a $3 delivery charge. The dumplings were unlike any I've ever had, they were super doughy. The dough to vegetable filling ratio was definitely off, but they were still good and HUGE, perfect for sharing and the soy dipping sauce it came with was decent. My steamed chicken and broccoli was good enough too, the garlic sauce they gave on the side was everything but healthy but it added a needed flavor. They gave me white rice, which bummed me out because I couldn't eat it and I asked for brown. I would have appreciated them looking at my request and calling if they didn't have brown and I would have gone with fried rice instead. They either mistakenly gave me white or they looked at my request and ignored it because they didn't have any brown. I would definitely come back here, the chicken and broccoli portion was small though so I would recommend getting something in addition if you plan to be satisfied. read more

We ordered 2 dishes. One arrived at our table completely cold. The second was pretty good. However, the waitress that had no idea what she was doing and there is a general uncleanness to the restaurant. I would not try again. read more

Alright, so... my family and i love the food here and have a lot of good memories with their dishes. However, my family has experienced problems with the service. Workers are not friendly to us anytime we go. On top of that a family member of mine found mouse poop in their take out... read more

Absolutely never patronizing your business again and I am a repeat customer for many years. So long China19. Why? How about hanging up when a customer is trying to order, then hanging up again when confronted about it when I was still trying to order and asked why I was hung up on, asking can I please place an order... I was not rude to you to be hung up on in the first place, just trying to order and you hung up on me...twice! Extremely rude and unprofessional. I will not be hung up on twice by the ownership when trying to place an order. I finally got to the very nice front desk lady who helped me because I did want my chicken and the delivery guy was great, but it will be my last time ordering from you. read more

I am super disappointed. I am a dasher & I came to pick up my customers order, to hear that they cannot complete my order. My customer has already paid in full & left a generous tip + their delivery. China19 was rude to me on the phone, which is not good customer service. Will never be giving them business again. If China19 is still available on DoorDash they should be ACCEPTING ALL THOSE ORDERS. Not fair to your customers that are actually giving you business during this pandemic. Such a disappointment. read more

My mother and I came here for the first time, and were impressed with the quality of the food. I could tell something was unique and different about it, and found out later they make an effort to make the entrees a little better for you. Best Chinese food in the area, in my opinion. Service was also very good. The waitress was very attentive to us. read more

I never write bad reviews about any place that I've gone to, or any place that I've gotten food from, but let me tell you, China 19 is by far the WORST place that I have ever received food from. Tonight will literally be the last time that I ever order from that pathetic excuse for a Chinese restaurant. After ordering my food, which included Sweet and sour chicken, white rice, and two vegetable egg rolls, and egg drop soup, I received sweet and sour chicken, white rice, two PORK egg rolls (I don't eat pork), and wonton soup (do I need to repeat again that I don't eat pork?), I called them up to tell them they messed up my order. After the disgusting answer from the woman who answers the phone and her sighing and telling me she guesses she'll go back to the kitchen to check with them, I was placed on the phone with a rude and obnoxious woman who YELLED at me and told me I got the right order. Well, excuse me then, I must be wrong, staring at my pork egg rolls and my wonton soup in front of me, you ignorant, nasty woman. After her making rude remarks and yelling, "YOU HAVE TWO VEGETABLE EGG ROLLS AND AN EGG DROP SOUP!" I told her, "I'm staring right at it and it's wrong!" Then she screams "WE'LL GET YOU THE RIGHT FOOD!" and then hangs up on me. Seriously? That's your customer service, because when I began trying to get my food, I was completely polite. Oh, but to make it better, they call me before they tell me they're bringing me my food now, to tell me that I have to give the food that was wrong back, so they can check it to make sure that I wasn't lying. Seriously? But yes, I threw my half chewed up pork egg roll in there, and you can have back the soup I'm not going to eat. That was gross, just so you know. You guys are completely unprofessional, and on top of it all, your food sucks. Get your shit together. read more

Place has gone down hill in the last year. Order screw ups which they won't make right to asking my general tso's extra spicy but made my rice so spicy which I did not ask for. Went one night asked for combo meals was told they weren't doing combos that night. read more

Honestly I'm from NYC so most other Chinese food sucks. But this place was terrible! I got beef lomein and it was rubbery and barely had any taste. The food is also extremely greasy and it gave me so many stomach problems. The delivery guy was also late and we told him to pull up in the back, in the driveway, not the front and he didn't listen. We specifically said this because we had a problem with that door and couldn't open it. I also tipped him two bucks, we didn't order a lot and I don't tip a lot of money for delivery and he had the nerve to say oh so little, oh it's ok bigger tip next time. It's one thing to not be happy with a tip, it's another to be so outright rude when you couldn't follow simple instructions. I almost took it back from him and said fine then. No tip. Never eating or ordering from them again read more

Worst service ever, and the food wasn't that great. Never will eat there again! Save time and money and order some where else.

This place is terrible. After ordering delivery subpar once, I decided to give it one more try. I'm still not sure why I decided to risk sushi but I did and it was worse than expected. Made with dry rice and fish of questionable freshness, it had no redeeming qualities. I guess I got what I paid for? The Chinese menu isn't much better with tough meat and excess oil. Try nearby No. 1 Chinese instead. read more

The food here is putrid, the owner is rude and it tastes like sponge and a little like mud.

Got food poisoning from their lo mein. Will NEVER EVER eat there again. They've pretty much scared me off from all Chinese food. Do better, China 19. read more

I've tried this place once prior to tonight and it was great. The service as absolutely terrible. there was one other couple in the place and our waitress was no where to be found. Tonight they messed up my appetizer, then when I received my main course my egg roll was absolutely disgusting. The lady disclosed to me that they're not made to order, they are made a few days in advance so it probably went bad. I then asked my waitress if all food is cooked to order and she got very nasty at me saying that all restaurants work like this. This is false, I work at a restaurant and food is always cooked to order. Don't come here. The staff is nasty, the manager is nasty and the food was terrible and is sitting in a fridge precooked before you even order it read more

My wife and I never have had any issues with the food here and would recommend it as a good takeout option, if they could only get their orders right. Missing rice, missing egg roll, entire side dishes. etc. How can they be in business this long and still not be getting orders correct? This makes them not a reliable choice. Frustrating. read more

Best Food I have found here! I also like the way you can make notes for each item you order online! Yummy read more

Food is good but delivery is a serious problem. Often times things are forgotten or wrong. Food in restaurant is entirely different (better) than when delivered. The platter/sampler is good minus the (fish?) Mostly everything is decent but to truly experience the food from the source you need to go to the actual restaurant. Order from here often and would again but them forgetting Snapple 4/5 times over several years gets a bit redundant. Bonus is you can order online at Eat24 which is very convenient and helpful. Wish they would add pictures as not all of us know the dishes well enough to make new choices on food we would like to try. read more

I have been back to the restaurant twice since they moved and have to say I am a fan now. Both times the service was great and the food was much more flavorful. Not sure what they did, but it's much better! read more

This place is one of my favorite stops when you going to Oneonta, The food is amazing I've never had a bad meal. The waitresses are great at recommending things to try. The owner is a sweet lady as is the daughter. They make really good sushi as well. I recently tried rice noodle with chicken and veggies and it was amazing they also have a great avocado salad and an amazing egg drop soup.. read more

Best chinese food in town but lacking in a few ways. I've gotten the peking duck from here a few times because I love it and their version is good but they serve it with flour tortillas instead of steamed buns. That does seems to be the standard in Oneonta though. Also, when you order pork fried rice with your combination, you get maybe 3 or 4 tiny pieces of pork and if you're lucky sometimes you might even get some egg. Which is weird because if you order the pfr on its own you get this amazing dish full of pork, veggies and egg. Regardless the food is always delicious even the mostly plain pfr. Also, if you're ordering to go or delivery, order way in advance because everyone orders from here and it takes a while. read more

Favorite chines place in Oneonta. Amazing Chicken and Broccoli, Sesame Chicken is crisp and the sweet and sour chicken is always a favorite. They are fast with their to go orders and always well packaged so its not leaking in your car. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere read more

I was pleasantly surprised by China 19. Ordering was easy, as was pick-up. So many choices and what we chose was tasty.

Ugh. Why do people like this place so much? I don't remember it being so bad years ago but I recently moved back to the area and gave it 3 tries. The meat was the lowest grade of Chinese food chicken I've ever had and if the menu item said it was crispy, it never was. I wanted to like it. I really did. But it was just terrible. read more

The new restaurant set-up is very nice and the food is very good as well. It is the place to consider if you are looking for Chinese in the area read more

No doubt the worst service I have ever experienced. I ordered broccoli and chicken with garlic sauce I had to repeat myself several times. She sent me a plate of just broccoli. I called and explained they sent me the wrong thing the woman who answered the phone yelled at me told me I was wrong and hung up on me. I called back and she continued to yell at me and hang up. She wasn't willing to work with me. I am never going to order from them again! read more

When I attended SUNY Oneonta, I had Chinese food for the first time ever and it happened to be from China 19. I had no idea that it would set such a high standard for Chinese take out. When I transfered schools and moved to Albany, nothing compared to China 19! I've never been able to find pork fried rice or beef lo mein as savory or as satisfying or well cooked (always the perfect consistency, never tough or underdone). I make sure to stop in every time I'm near Oneonta, and they never disappoint! I've been a customer for the past six years and I have no plan to stop going. The friendly service, the low cost, and the quality of the food (the best comfort food, in my opinion) will always keep me coming back. read more

The food is amazing, I love everything I order. BUT you never get all of your food when they deliver. Every single time I have ordered something for delivery they have forgotten at least one thing and then it takes them another 45 minutes to get it to me. Edit: they also tend to not leave with your food until after it's supposed to be at your house. read more

Great food, and not a bad wait time either. A Pleasant atmosphere and service was great.

I had a terrible experience with this place I've eaten the food multiple times before, it's pretty okay, but the service is terrible. I ordered a meal and when I was eating my wonton soup I nearly choked on this 1 inch. long very sharp plastic piece and then proceeded to find another piece in my soup. I examined my container and lid and didn't find any missing parts- obviously these pieces came from somewhere else. So, I call and they were so RUDE they just kept saying "Ok well what do you want me to do about it?" You do not treat customers like that and especially not customers who found a sharp foreign object in the soup. Never eating here again it's so not worth it. read more

Stopped here on our way up to Albany since we didn't want McDonald's and they were open pretty laye. Food came out in literally about five minutes and it was soooo good. It was real fried rice, not that weird yellow rice, and the boneless ribs were delicious and not dry. Far better than any of what is in Binghamton. Hopefully we can stop back the next time we're in Oneonta. read more
