This review is not about the food but about the menu and the people that run this place... I wanted orange chicken and fried rice ok? The orange chicken comes with rice but I did not want the regular rice I wanted the fired rice with meat.. Keep in mind the regular rice cost $2. So I ordered orange chicken and substituted the plain rice with house special rice. She said I can't do that. So I said well since I don't want the plain rice can I get $2 off the bill and she said no if you don't want the plain rice I just won't bring it to you... I said but I still have to pay for it regardless and she said and I told her I don't want the plain rice but instead I want the house special rice... Long story short if you don't want something that comes with your meal or food.. You have to pay for it regardless whether you eat it or not...: read more

always good ! good service and amazing food each time, i usually get the sesame chicken and the plain fried rice, i get the chicken spicy and it's always amazing ! very much a favorite read more

Meh, went there due to the reviews and was really disappointed . You know it's not a good place when the only vegetables they used are cheap zucchini, bell peppers and carrots . No snow peas, broccoli or baby corn. I had the Szechuan shrimps and it was drenched in sauce . Plus price wise , I don't think it's much cheaper than very good other real chinese! read more

Good not great and right in the middle of broadway easy to get to I like there sweet and sour sauce!

Foods good, not great, but whether or not they will deliver, depends on who you talk too apparently. .... lost a customer today.

Really good traditional Chinese food. I've enjoyed everything we have tried, especially the salt and pepper filet fish. The fish is so flavorful. Just double check your to go order- one time they got it wrong. read more

Still a good Chinese place, but the 30% price increase took me by surprise and took the value out of the experience. Chinese food, for me, has always been a quick cheap meal. $30 for take out for 2 people is a little much for a strip mall Chinese place. It is the best in El Cajon, but for $30 I will stop by someplace in Kearny Mesa on my way home from work. read more

Good call to change from Hawaiian BBQ. I only wish they had the usual "family dinner" so I could get more than one item. Yelp screws small business owners! read more

I love the war wonton soup! The service is great and the employees are very nice! I will return for more soup and try other items. I only have one suggestion for the soup. Adding some pure sesame oil helps make it taste more authentic. I add some when I get home and that perfects it a bit. read more

First off, over 50 minutes for a to go order. Orange chicken, asked for spicy. He asked me from 1-5 how hot, went with 4. It wasn't even mildly hot, my 6 and 2 year old even enjoyed it. Salt and pepper wings, all you tasted was grease. I'd say a small step above Panda Express, probably won't be back, but both my kids enjoyed it so Thats something, 3 stars is generous... read more

Our first time here was a delight. The menu is extensive and the staff was so attentive to us the entire time. We tried the bbq pork chow fun (could use a bit more flavor), home style tofu (order to spicy level you like- excellent), spare ribs (sweet and tender), and bbq pork noodle soup (delicious pork in an average broth with loads of veggies). As we ordered dinner style the meals came with soup (hot & sour or egg drop), cream cheese wonton, and egg roll. These dishes and sides/appetizers/soups were truly some of the best we've had in a very long time. Nice mix of customers in here as well. The only thing I did not care for was the steamed rice. It almost seemed Ike instant/minute rice in consistency and taste, but it did not seem to bother my boyfriend. We can't wait to try more of the wonderful varieties of dishes here! read more

The fried pork with Lo Mein was really good. It was perfect, compare to other Chinese place.

Hands down one of my favorite Chinese food places! I have been looking for a really good Chinese food place that served noodles - I haven't had any as good as these! The staff is all so friendly!! I left my credit card there and it was bit difficult to get back - they are VERY serious about making sure that it goes back to the person who left it there...which is a really great thing. Unless you are working late and can never get over there! However, go for the food and the great service - just make sure to not forget your card at the end of the night! read more

Food is always fresh and delicious. Really good stuff. If you find yourself in El Cajon check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Being new to town, we were looking to replace our old Chinese guys down in imperial beach. This restaurant did not disappoint. I'm not fond of their cream cheese wontons (they needed to be cooked just a little longer), but the rest of the chicken dishes we ordered were great. And they deliver. :) read more

Best Chinese I've had in years! The first time I've had shrimp that were expertly executed at a Chinese restaurant. The meats were cooked perfectly too. Well done. The family and I will be back again. read more

Will miss kinghouse sushi. But this is a good replacement. Best Chinese food I've tasted. Honey chicken, special house rice. Was delicious. Will come again. read more

Amazing Chinese food great service really clean well kept restaurant got my food quickly and my drink was never empty great apps fair pricing all and all a great restaurant can't wait to bring friends!! read more

Their food is pretty great. Tried the sweet and sour shrimp and shrimp fried rice. The sweet and sour shrimp was so good. I liked that the shrimp in the rice was of decent size. The cream cheese wantons are to die for. So creamy and amazing. I would probably order just that and die happy. I definitely plan on eating here again the next time I want my Chinese fix. read more

This place is pretty darn tasty. It's become our go to for Chinese over the last few years. Worth checking out.

I came here for a dinner with a friend and I really like the costumer service and the great food.

Really great service and good food. The food is flavorful. We got cream cheese wontons, egg flower soup, chicken lo mein, and kung pao chicken. All were delicious. The service could not have been any better read more

I have only eaten here 1 time and the food is good. The issue I have is that the place is dirty and I can't eat in a place that. Came with a buddy a few weeks back and I noticed that the white table cloth that was not being cover by the glass was really dirty and the when they brought the menu that also was dirty. Plus when we sat down there were 2 pennies left behind by the last people. Honestly I could not stomach ordering so we walked out. But again the first time I ate here the food was actually OK read more

I found this place on Yelp, as I could not drive to pick up my food (if you follow). They deliver. The crispy beef was awesome and whatever my wife ordered was up to par for her.. or so I assume it was. The total bill was around $40.. so probably typical pricing for 2-3 entrees. I will definitely order from here again. read more

I love the orange chicken and crispy beef. Always great customer service and fast! I never go anywhere else!

Best chinese food in El Cajon. Very delicious I strongly recommend it and great service.

Great food! Friendly waitress! I tried their House Lo Mien, Shrimp Broccoli Noodles, Avocado Bobo Smoothie. All excellent.

Yumm beef chow fun no veggie, try it! Smoothies are yummy here too, this is one of me and my boyfriends go to spots for dinner. First time I came for pick up and the woman let munch on a free potsticker while I waited for my food read more

Got the chicken and veggie lunch combo. Came with entree, rice, egg roll, and soup. Really good amount of food for the price. The fried rice was a little bland for my taste. Meat was good. I ate half the plate and it still looked like a full plate. Love that they deliver. read more

Outstanding customer service & excellent food. I was offered water & was given wonton chips & sauce while waiting for my Togo order. This was my first visit & referee by Yelp search. read more

This is the spot. From the service to the food! I ordered a wonton soup thinking it was a small bowl and it was a decent size. Ordered the 6pc salt and pepper chicken. By far hands down thee best I've tasted. Even better then Royal Mandarins. I also ordered the Mongolian Beef which was on point. Ingredients for all dishes tasted so fresh. Definitely my go to spot here in El Cajon. read more

I tried China 1968 for the first time based upon Yelp reviews and our normal chinese place wasn't picking up the phone (I am going with they were closed due the holidays). Ok so here it goes... We ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings ( I should read the yelp review), Mongolian beef and house fried rice for about $34. The staff was friendly and helpful, the place was a nice size, not busy at all. The salt and pepper chicken wings despite the previous review I decided to still order them. We have had wings from many other places... ughhh lets just say I have 8 out of 10 wings left. No bueno. Mongolian beef, my spouse loved it, I thought it was ok. The house fried rice was good and meaty with chicken pork and shrimp. The staff was so polite that it hurts me to say I would pass the next time. But thats just one person's review. Give them a try as you can tell by the many favorable Yelp reviews that maybe my taste buds are off :) Happy eating! read more

I like this place. We went on Xmas and they were overloaded because everything else was closed. The food was great. This was not a fair night to judge service speed. I will definitely go back. read more

This place is fantastic. The service is great. Food comes out quickly. The first time I got the flour egg drop soup. It's amazing. The chicken sticks are amazing. As well as the chicken curry fried rice. Came back a 2nd time and wanted to switch it up. Soup was just as good as the first time. Got pot stickers.... Not so great. And got the bbq pork Lo mein. Not so great. But, this is still very easily my favorite Chinese restaurant. So glad to have discovered this Gem. read more

Love that they deliver. Fast and always friendly. The food has never disappointed. I haven't ordered anything I haven't liked. Since we order here at least twice a month I think we have tried almost everything. My favorite is the orange chicken, chicken lo main and spicy beef. read more

Yesterday as my boyfriend and I drove by we decided to try China 1968, as we walked in we were not greeted. We still decided to order for take out as we were starving. We ordered Kung Po Chicken and Chicken Lo Mien. When we got to the car we checked the bag and there were no napkins or utensils. We walked back in and asked for 2 forks and 2 spoons and sirachi, we were only given 2 spoons and 1 sirachi. Food was very bland and chicken had a lot of fat on it. We ended up throwing away most of it. NEVER going back. Bad service and gross food. read more

This is bomb. I enjoyed every bite! For sure I am coming back. The workers are so nice!

this place was only ok and a bit pricey but the only place that delivers. now they dont deliver which kinda sucks. the food is not good enough to drive across town for and for the price I wouldnt even go there if I lived near it since there is a panda express a block away. I really think cutting the delivery is going to hurt them. not only will you be charged more for your delivery but you can no longer order what you want. I use to make a lot of half orders since I dont need a giant plate of rice with a giant plate of orange chicken. I would get half order of rice half order of some kind of main dish and two egg rolls. thats no longer an option since you have to use a third party for delivery. oh well I guess I dont get to have chines food delivered any more. any local chines food joints can really make a killing filling this gap. read more

LOVE this place favorite Chinese spot in ec really really good food and super nice people working here

We ordered delivery here while stopping overnight. Delivery was quick and the food was delicious. The honey walnut shrimp was the perfect balance of sweet and salty, the broccoli was a little firm. The egg/shrimp pancake was really good, firmer than egg foo young but without a sauce. And the cream cheese wontons were likely the best I've ever had! read more
