I have been here once, was concerned you try a new place because I tend to be disappointed. Was pleasantly surprised very nice inside and wait staff very polite. I even asked for something (similar to Pandas Beijing beef) and they made their version. It was very good. I'm Soo happy to have found my new Chinese right around the corner. Prices were fair. read more

By all means watch out for this place! The food is not worth the price! I order house fried rice and it was $15.00 and only 3 pieces of shrimp! Really no chicken or beef at all! Just of bunch of fried rice!!!! Also be careful about how you use your card to pay, because if you don't make sure you don't tip........They will add whatever they want to your original total! read more

Great Food, I had it delivered and it showed up way earlier than they quoted time, which was good since we were all hungry. The Kung Pao chicken was my favorite this time, just spicy enough without taking my head off. read more

Love this little hole in the wall Pop shop, great portions, great flavors, very decent prices considering portions

Our recent visit here was so bad. Bad food. Bad service. So disappointing as this used to be good read more

Love the pepper wings here. A nice batter and delicious spices. Food here is very tasty.

Best Chinese food in El Cajon!!! The portions are family size and are very delicious. The honey walnut shrimp is my go to and the shrimp are HUGE. The prices are reasonable since it is a lot of food. I've never been disappointed with China 1968. read more

China 1968 - Honey Walnut Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - El Cajon, California

First visit to China 1968 in El Cajon. We had the Cashew Chicken and BBQ Pork Appetizer. Portions are big and both were very good! Food is prepared fresh so the wait was a little long, but we don't mind waiting for fresh food. The place stays busy so it was easier to just park at Food 4 Less and walk over. We will definitely be going back! read more

Huge portions! A little pricey but considering what you are getting it's worth it. The kitchen was slow and my order was 15 minutes late but the food was still good and service was good too. read more

You just can't judge a book by its cover. We chose this place while on vacation because of the yelp reviews and were so happy with the food and the service. Service was prompt and polite. Food was flavorful. I got the kung pao chicken, and my wife got the chicken and vegetable. She said hers was so good. I recommend this hole in the wall for sure. read more

We eat there whenever I am in town! The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly!

I was going to order a delivery through grubhub and try this place for the first time. They wanted $8.00 for a delivery fee. They wanted $5.49 for a service fee. They wanted $11.00 for the driver's tip. $24.49 in fees!!! On an order for less than $40.00 I think not. read more

Besides a small misunderstanding of my order, everything here was hot fresh and was as close to the Chinese food i grew up eating in the Midwest. I meant to order a small side of plain lo mein with no veggies and an entree of shrimp lo mein with no bean sprouts. I got charged for two shrimp entrees, the lo mein and the fried rice and i got no veggies except bean sprout which are coincidentally my least favorite. But I had a weird cold, and maybe she didn't hear me well. I also intended on eating inside but since I came alone she assumed it was take out? Could have been fixed but I didn't have the energy. I'm having a bad week and I just needed something comforting hot and good to eat while I caught up on my shows. All that said. It was great. My lo mein was al Dente, not over saturated or too salty. Everything was extremely fresh. My rice was exactly how I like it: not over cooked, firm, not over saturated in soy sauce and though there were no veggies, there was green onion tossed throughout so it was definitely tasty. Basically just a really good meal. Kinda pricey yeah. But no more so than anything else and the portion size and quality were good. read more

I tried this place today for the first time, I had the food delivered. It took about an hour which is what the lady said over the phone. There's no minimum for delivery and they charge $1 per mile. It was sooooo worth the wait. The food was fresh and hot and tasted really good. I ordered the chicken with vegetables lunch special and an order of the Szechuan braised string beans . I will definitely order again. read more

China 1968 - So yummy! - Chinese Near Me - El Cajon, California

Best Chinese food ! We have ordered about 10 times and never had a problem. Orange chicken is the best. We have ordered from three other places and this is the best! read more

The portions here are great and the food is good quality! They have had some issues with trying food done quickly but other than that it's a solid spot! read more

The price point is great, and the food is yummy too. Their wonton soup was really good, and they were generous with the meat. Will definitely come back when the Chinese food hankering returns. read more

I love this Chinese food place. Last time they got my order wrong and I live at least 30 minutes from the establishment and they drove all the way to my house and made it right. Everything is fresh and delicious. I am a total foodie and this is definitely a place where I trust the quality of food. Come on by! read more

WE ALL GOT FOOD POISONING!!!!! Horrible The portions are not good for the prices they charge. I expected more for my items I purchased for the price of this order alone I could of ordered double anywhere else. And just to top it off with the cherry on top hair in my egg flower soup which contain tomato not sure that is an ingredient first time and our salt pepper wings were supper salty beyond trying to wipe it off but anyhow I thought I got ripped off big time never again!!!!!! read more

I always go for the Curry 3 Ingredient Taste. My favorite and it's alway delicious . Normally I can make three meals out of it.

Fairly good food. Takes a bit too long for food to be prepared. And our server forgot a few items even after multiple requests. Nice bathroom, it would be easy to accompany someone (like your kids) if need be read more

Yelp 100 challenge My husband and I have been ordering from here since they opened. We have enjoyed everything we have had. They are very accommodating as well as they deliver. Good prices great food!! read more

Great spot for Salt & Pepper chicken wings. Perfect place to order a tray for parties. I've tried a few other stir fried dishes but a tad greasy for me but overall way better than your local Panda. Super fast reliable takeout and delivery service too. My quick Chinese food fix in El Cajon. read more

Really good food at a decent price, so far I have ordered food to go over 10 times and my family loves everything !! This place is highly recommended! read more

This place is very yummy! And the portions are nice and big. Food is always ready quickly and hits the spot. I took away one star because I always ask for spicy and it never is. But I will keep coming back. read more

Stopped in about 4 nights ago for the first time. There were 3 of us and we were all more than happy with our meal and the service. Lots of choices on the menu. The interior is a little nicer than it looks like from the front. It is a real sit down restaurant. We all had something different and the portions were very large. I had the House Egg Foo Yung. For dinner and for breakfast on 3 following days. I'd never had it made this way with meat in it too as well as lots of vegetables in it and on top. Really good! read more

Overpriced food with an attitude and tiny portions don't waste your money. They will constantly get your order wrong and will blame you for their mistakes. read more

The worst place to go.. rhis is not authentic food. GOLDEN CHOPSTIXS is way better and less costly. This place sucks ass

We happened upon this place when running errands and in the mood for Chinese food. We got the luncheon specials: 1 orange chicken and 1 black bean fish. They came with rice, soup and a spring roll. Everything was actually very tasty! Plenty of flavors and not too greasy (except the spring roll, but it's fried, so it's understandable). I'm very picky about Chinese food as I grew up on the east coast and it's different there, but this was very good. I will go back to try some other things. Price was very reasonable too! read more

Delicious, delightful, and delectable! This is the best Chinese food in all of San Diego County. Its the only place I will go to.

No doubt, the absolute worst Chinese food I have ordered. Bordered on inedible. No spices at all might have covered the old nasty third world taste to the meat but nothing. The staff/owners were very pleasant but if you want good food, stay away! read more

Americanized gross Chinese food. We ordered the Szechuan garlic beef and Kung pao shrimp. Both were in brown oyster sauce and were SWEET!?! So confused...they were supposed to be spicy. The meat in both were salty and not over cooked, but there wasn't a hot pepper to be seen in either dish. Will not be ordering from here again. If you want Szechuan or spicy, go to Spicy House on Convoy. It's worth the drive. read more

This restaurant is amazing! I love the honey walnut shrimp and the shrimp fried rice. Customer service may seem a little stiff but every time I go their it's packed! So that's understandable. Great shrimp mein too! Thumbs up! read more

My favorite "American" style Chinese. In a strip mall in El Cajon and worth the drive. Family owned. Friendly. Clean. I dream about the green beans with char siu pork. Slightly crunchy beans and delicious house made char siu. Fried wings are big, meaty and crunchy. read more

By far the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I don't expect much from Chinese food to be honest but this experience is one i never thought i would have. The food was soggy and over cooked, the fried rice tasted like it had been sitting out over night then reheated. The wontons in the wonton soup were falling apart and tasted awful! The only thing edible was the fortune cookie (which they out-source for). I will never be ordering from them again! Save yourself some time and don't order from here. Find another restaurant! read more

They really need half stars. I would go 3.5. Got the Orange Chicken lunch and a large Thai Tea w/ boba. The Orange Chicken, egg roll and tea was good. The fried rice was kind of bland. The service was good and the wait for a to go order wasn't long. Price was a little high ($15) read more

China 1968 - Orange Chicken lunch to go - Chinese Near Me - El Cajon, California

The food is just okay. We got orange chicken i prefer panda to here and fried rice... which is just brown rice.... idk how you can call it fried rice if it has no egg or vegetables. Also the egg drop soup is awful. We will not be coming back read more

The food was decent but not great and way overpriced. We ordered the chicken wings and they left a lot to be desired, dry. The Kung Pao was good but I wouldnt make a special trip here again. La China has better prices and lunch deals and is way better. read more
