    Crab Rangoons
    Melody M.

    This place is a solid 10/10. The woman upfront is always working and extremely nice and helpful and the food is ALWAYS amazing. My partner and I come here at least a few times a month. The Crab Rangoons are easily the best on the coast. This place is worth the visit! 5-Stars all the way.

    Me inside my home, the purple and yellow lights on after have China Bistro meal. It was good.

    Food was very good. This is my new spot for great food. Service with a smile. Nice seating, I was impressed

    Teriyaki chicken
    Bradly P.

    It was a work day week and needed a quick dinner and I decided to check out China Bistro due to the fact I literally live right across the street from it but yet never ate here. The restaurant was very clean and has dining tables to enjoy or to take out your food and was fairly crowded for the evening when I dropped in. I went ahead and placed a order at the cash register for a to go order. They have plenty of dishes that anyone can relate to and enjoy but I decided to go with the chicken lo mein, garlic chicken, teriyaki chicken, and beef and broccoli. For the dishes they have small and large portions and I decided to opt in for the small dishes except for the fried noodles. The dishes come with white rice or fried rice and I decided to go with the fried rice with all 3. When I first got home I opened them all up to snap the pictures but was sorda confused on which was which with the teriyaki chicken and garlic chicken because I couldnt identify what was what. Also I noticed the portions were really small and this place sticks to there identity with small being small! Quick time first bite! The food was still hot and fresh and it had good flavor but low on the protein. With the teriyaki chicken I identified it by the pineapple like flavor and green bell peppers with a soy base. The fried rice was your typical white rice with color added to it with not much flavor. The garlic chicken had canned bamboo shoots with carrots and zuchinni but I couldnt understand the garlic part. The beef and broccoli was great with nice green vibrant bites of broccoli and a couple of carrots but very few cuts of beef. The chicken lo mein was ok but had very little flavor and didnt have the wok like flavor to it. The veggies inside were little to none and the flavor wasnt all there but yet not bad. Overall A-Ok place for me for a quick take out for food. Customer service was good and timing was on point! Everything was great but nothing extrordinary just a average restaurant!

    Shrimp Fried Rice

    Simply amazing! Great food and very clean tasting! I've been looking for the perfect Chinese restaurant on the Gulf Coast! I have found it finally! The Shrimp fried rice is simply amazing! LOVE!

    Mongolian Beef (small order)
    Michael B.

    Don't make the mistake I did for a long time which was to drive right by this place. It was terrific! Most entrees have a small or large portion available and the prices reflect this. Everything seemed very reasonable, including our orders. Mongolian Beef was sauced well with a good spice that was not overwhelming but let you know you were eating something freshly made. The portion, the small, was just enough when combined with the starter course of some tasty crab rangoon. The place is very small, seating probably 20-24. Definitely worth the stop and deserving if another visit.

The food here is consistently better, and the oysters, especially, just taste fresher here than the other one. However, for whatever reason, the last two times we've been here, we've just had some miserable waitresses. The time before this one, our waitress had been crying and was walking around teary-eyed, but still managed to give us impeccable service. This time, though, was by far the worst service I've ever received in my life. The waitress we had today was just almost rude. There was no smile at all, no awareness, and no patience - just nothing. At times, she would start walking away before we finished talking and would not give us eye contact. I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes here, but would highly recommend that she go through another round of training, or maybe find another job that she actually enjoys. If we were tipping just based on service, I would say we received the bare minimum. Being the person my boyfriend is, he refused to give less than a 20% tip, because he knows that restaurant and bar staff are not paid especially well, but I really do feel like some effort has to be made. I haven't felt the need to write a review on Yelp again until now, but the service today was just excruciatingly painful. When I had commented to my boyfriend that maybe she was having a bad day, he even said that there was no reason for her to be taking it out on us. If we did not love the food and this was our first time, we would never come back.

    Too many issues in one meal to believe it was maybe just an "off day". I understand that Mother's…read moreDay (and the sun shinning) brings in a bigger crowd, but given that the restaurant was advertising a Mother's Day brunch AND they didn't even change the menu from their standard brunch menu, that they would be more prepared. We were seated right away (we did call a head of time to give them a heads up about our group size [10], even with the understanding of no reservations and first come first serve). Drinks were ordered and then brought out randomly and just left in the middle of the table, never with the person who ordered. NEVER offered a refill on anything. Not on water, sodas or even alcohol. Food order was placed pretty quickly. Waitress even mentioned that the Beef Debris PoBoy is good in flavor but that it's the most returned and or disappointed menu item when ordered in larger groups (I believe because it's wet). I took her recommendations and ordered 3 side items asking for them all to be together as a meal. Food is delivered and quite a few things were wrong or missing. Burger - missing standard toppings & over cooked to a hockey puck. Several missing items - meals and sides. The food runners were very confused and couldn't even speak when we tried to address the messed up food. Still no drink refills offered and the waitress was gone for so long we couldn't address the missing meals for a while. The food runners never said anything about the issues. Again, I get it, it's Mother's Day, but a suggestion was made (not requested) and then the alternative was incredibly messed up. Little apologies for any of the missing item issues and then the bills were all messy. None of these issues pointed to the kitchen so it's the rare time I don't appreciate an auto gratuity.

First off, they bring the food out in a giant plastic bag like it's evidence from a crime scene. And honestly, it is a crime--how much butter and Cajun seasoning they put in there. The shrimp were so spicy they gave me flashbacks to every bad decision I've ever made, and the sausage? That sausage whispered sweet nothings to me before punching me in the face with flavor. I'm not saying I fell in love, but I definitely Googled "how to legally marry andouille." The corn was hotter than Satan's armpit, and the potatoes were softer than my willpower. I burned my fingertips, tongue, and possibly my soul, but I regret nothing. The staff is friendly in that Southern way where they call you "honey" and tell you you're "lookin' peaky" while piling 7 pounds of shellfish in front of you. If your bib doesn't say "I'm here for a good time, not a long time," you're doing it wrong. Pro tip: don't wear white. Or tight pants. Or any emotional baggage you're not ready to let go of--because the boil will break you down and build you back better. 10/10, would cry happy tears into my crab legs again.
