I ordered shrimp chow fun, they gave me shrimp chow mein. It was mediocre at best. Very few veggies. Will not repeat.

Don't go here! About 1 month ago, I got a fried rice order beef,chicken,cashews in it. Also got their honey wallnut shrimp. Drove home to eat, Fried Rice was nearly impossible to eat Due To EGG Shells in rice!! The amount of eggshells was unbelievable! As it they did it on purpose or something! The honey Wallnut shrimp was horrible! I called the business to let them know about the eggshells, they offered to write my name for another rice order next time I come in. Gave them a chance yesterday, just to come in and Tall Asian guy in front to be extremely rude,with an attitude, caughing as he spoke. He found it funny I told him about the eggshells. He was also a little smart ass with next customers as I waited. I simply had to walk out, why eat at such nasty,rude place. Plus they charge as their top end Restaurant. Be warned! Guy at front counter, you are lucky you don't get check by Esco Fam. Watch out homie read more

A go-to for affordable and great tasting Chinese food! I think this is a staple Chinese food joint in Escondido! Definitely my main Chinese food place for Christmas Day! Service is always excellent. Ambiance is typical Chinese fast food ambiance. Highly recommend! read more

The food always comes out so quickly, the staff is always helpful and in a great mood, and the food is very good! I have tried so many things here and have not found anything I didn't like so far. They even have boba!! read more

Seriously 4 stars!! Just had it delivered last night. Some of the worst food we have ever had. Ended up throwing it all away and going out for dinner. Tasted like it had been sitting there for days...definitely was not made fresh. If I wanted pre made food I would have gone to Panda Express. To top it off, the egg rolls were basically raw. I should have known when I ordered it and it was delivered less than 20 minutes later. read more

Good food decent price great portions, I got some sort of noodle dish with chicken it was really good, the noodles are nice n moist hell yeah read more

This was our first time ordering from China Brothers. We placed our order online and were promised the order would be ready within 15 minutes. Parking in this area is a mess. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were a bit disappointed that the place was small - only had a few tables in one row - and a bit disorderly. The guy at the counter was not friendly at all. We didn't get a receipt for our order, and we were asked to sign on the paper (I don't know for what reason it was). I was also surprised to see the "fees" included in the total as it was not explained to me. So, what are the fees for an online pickup? I thought CA was banning these additional charges. Anyway, when we got home, the food was still warm which was a plus. The lunch specials we ordered - Mongolian beef with fried rice and orange chicken with Chow Mein - were average; nothing was special about them. No soups were provided for this takeout. I would hesitate to order again from this small restaurant. read more

I love this place! We've ordered it multiple times for take out and it's been great every single time. The portions are large and prices are great. We always have leftovers. It's always still hot when it's delivered. Highly recommend! read more

Bought some pan fried noodles and a house special noodles. I wasn't happy with my pan fried noodles. It didn't have much flavor. I was just hungry and hubby didn't like the house noodles. It was spicy for him. He didn't order lunch special. Anyway, maybe new cooks who are just in training? The food used to be good. read more

I love this place. Fast food is good and homey. Everyone is so friendly. I go to both restaurants. I'm super full and have left overs for dinner. Thanks you china bros for your great lunch special. read more

Our go to Chinese food place in this area. It's not authentic Chinese food. But that's not a bad thing. Most people have not tried authentic Chinese food to even compare. To be honest, they wouldn't be successful if they did serve authentic Chinese food because of their customer base. American-Chinese food FTW! Their portions are pretty big for the price you pay. Before quarantine, we'd eat inside and the service was quick and friendly. They only had a few tables inside, maybe 6, so this has always been more of a to-go place for us anyway. The broccoli chicken is our go to. Honestly everything I've tried here has been great except for the chicken wings. Those looked a lot better than how they tasted. It looked so flavorful but fell flat for me. They have occasional coupon flyers that we use for appetizers. Keep an eye out for that. read more

This review is a bit mixed for me as I picked up food from here, and did not eat it right away so a part of me feels "is this fair" to base a review on a place which you did not sit down and eat the food while it is fresh and hot? Yes... No... Yes? Finally I decided that based on my normal experience with take out, I don't eat it right away, and usually have leftovers which are tasty! This place does give you a massive amount of food for the price. We ordered Pork with String Beans and added $2 dollars chicken. The serving was massive and the amount of chicken added was plentiful. The String Beans were very limp and overall the taste was ok, not great while not terrible by any means. Cashew Chicken, again was very plentiful in size, the taste was mediocre. Eggrolls, decently bland in taste. Is 3 stars a bad review, absolutely not is this a 4 or 5 star quality restaurant or experience, again absolutely not. Quantity wise this is a 4/5 star place. The staff here was very friendly, very helpful and our order was made pretty quickly. If you are looking for decent quality food, at a good price and a lot of it, this is your place! If you are looking for a super tasty, high quality Chinese restaurant, I would venture to state that this is not your place. read more

China Bros curious!! Love me some Chinese food and this place definitely satisfies. I've came here twice and the wait times were decent. The first time I came I ordered in person and the second time I phoned it in and it was ready within reasonable time. The service is alright nothing special, but the food is legit. I tried their Mongolian Beef Lunch Special which was plentiful with rice and noodles. I more recently tried their Shrimp with Salt and Pepper no shell and Black Pepper Chicken. Everything tasted fresh and hit the spot! Overall, an excellent option in Escondido situated by Trader Joe's and near Major Market. read more

Nothing was edible. Couldn't even eat the egg drop soup, it had the consistency of Greek yogurt with no flavor. Hot and sour soup was terrible, shrimp chow fun had zero flavor, 3 packets of soy sauce couldn't even help it. Even the frozen sesame balls they fried up were gross. Total waste of money, I wish I ordered from Panda Express instead. read more

Ordered China Bros from their website for delivery the other day. What a great experience. The site was easy to navigate and gave the option to customize your order. They delivered before the promised time with hot food. The portions were large and delicious. Our favorite was the hot chicken wings, perfection!!! We also got the house chow fun, sesame beef, orange beef, chow mein, white rice, and kung pao shrimp. All the dishes were excellent. read more

Great food, great prices, outstanding service! Top notch quality and they will serve your dishes gluten-free if you ask them to. The portions are huge and last at least three meals. We come here about once a month and absolutely love it! read more

Hey this place is legit! We love how there are so many good non American restaurants thriving in Escondido because of the affordability! We don't live in Esco but we often come here for a variety of "ethnic" restaurants like Chinese, Thai, Mexican, etc. This is definitely one of the gems! Freshly made food with taste, quality and bargain. It's not a fast food place, it's a sit down restaurant, but a lot of people just order take out. Some items to consider: Orange chicken chow fun chow mein spicy chicken wings taro smoothie with boba The orange chicken was made fresh so it's hot and crispy! The sauce had the right amount of sweetness and tanginess. Their chow mein was super garlicky and it was just delectable. Their chow fun was soft and chewy with good flavor, not hard spots or noodles stuck together. In general their stir fried foods were all done right - you can see the giant wok and flame in the kitchen, and that's the only way to do Chinese food right! Their chicken wings were super crispy with a light batter, tons of herbs, pepper and onions, and just included the flat parts, no drumstick, which was what I prefer! Round up the meal with a large taro slush with boba for under $4, as compared to $5-6 at some boba places! We will definitely come back for other dishes. The Chinese bros plus a lady were also very friendly too. They work hard to keep the place running. They also do party trays for good pricing and offer delivery as well. Check them out! read more

I stopped at China Brother's for lunch the other day. Little place near Trader Joe's in Escondido. They have a great little lunch menu, friendly table-side service in a store front restaurant. The food came on a tray-type plate, and was very tasty. I had their garlic chicken with rice and noodles. Really good. So was the soup. Pricing was good as well. I will start using them for delivery in the future. read more

Inedible rubber. How could this happen in a restaurant that has good service, ambiance and excellent location? I visited China Bros with a guest expecting a great meal. The chow mein was perfectly fine, but the meat? Both beef and chicken simply were not edible. Sensation was more like trying to chew rubber. The beef had been tenderized and processed, and still was not edible. The chicken, my guest independently volunteered she could not eat the chicken. But the presentation, piping hot in plastic, bespoke a better standard than this. Each of the two entrees came out to $20.00, "upper manageable" on my humble budget. Next time I'll choose Mexican food. read more

The worse Chinese food ever. I had picked up food about 2 weeks ago. My husband really liked the wonton soup and egg rolls. He really liked it. I had salt and pepper shrimp in the shell...very dry and tasteless. I would have never gone back. But we have company and they wanted to try it. So we got take out this week. My husband got the soup again...it was not good....neither were the eggrolls. We got several dishes off the menu....spending 60.00 dollars. Peking beef....no one ate it. A noodle dish with shrimp very dry. Walnut honey shrimp was eatable......most of the stuff in the garbage. Will not recommend or go back. The place was crowded....don't know why. The people that worked there were nice. Too bad... read more

Good taste good service, like the chow main not greasy at all ! Large servings also and arrived hot .

The food is pretty good. They do give a decent size portion, but the prices are pretty high. I could have gotten the same thing at Panda for $20 less. Customer service was great, cashier was friendly. The restaurant was very clean and maintained. My only complaint other than the price is I swear i can smell a fish smell in my kung pow chicken... My family and I do not eat fish... So for now we'll stick with Panda or Pick up Stix. read more

Did take out last night. I was so looking forward to it. Ordered Vegetable Egg Rolls and Hong Kong Style Chow Mein. I've ordered these items in the past and this last time just nailed the coffin. Not going back. Over the past year and a half, China Bros provided Chinese food by delivery or pick up. In my opinion, quality degraded. Flavors did not stay consistent. Service and courtesy did, however. This last time, sadly, the chow mein lacked flavor. The egg rolls were sooo greasy eeew! I am sad that they lost control of the quality they had when they first opened. We've gone back to China Bros a good number of times in the last 15 months... each time, we felt stronger about not being sure that we'd be satisfied. This last time was it. We decided no more China Bros. I gave 2 stars for their friendliness, courtesy and their observance of COVID protocols. Sad! read more

Walked in and tried ordering at the counter to dine in but they told us to have a seat. It was a decent size place with 4 or more booths? Anyhoo, for the holiday season they only serve dinner sizes. It was just me and my boyfriend eating and the serving size was humongous. I got the chicken wrap, and I believe the china bro platter which had a variety of appetizers. My bf got the wonton soup. According to him it was tasty. I only tasted the broth and it seemed bland. However the wontons could've been filled with flavor lol. Anyways back to my dish, the chicken wrap was good. I was just so impressed by the serving size I think I was interested in that than the actual dish. The calamari was nice and crispy. The vegetable egg roll was cooked to a perfect crisp. Best part was the cheese Rangoon. To die for. Yummmm. I would order that alone. I didn't really eat the bbq meat. But it was there lol I took most of it to go. It was too much too finish in one sitting. You see my rice? Jeez Louis it was so fluffy and literally tasted like little pillows of love lol it made my mouth feel warm and fuzzy from the fluffiness. So plain but yet not. I might go there again this weekend just thinking about it while I write the review it's making me hungry. read more

New, and still a "wok" in progress.. Escondido finally has a Chinese food restaurant that hasn't run afoul with food safety inspectors. And right now, it's probably the best in the city especially if you're looking for lighter, less greasy Chinese food. What really stands out at China Bros are the fresh vegetables they use. The "spicy" items were decently hot but they oddly put quartered chilis in the dish. It's harder to pick them out versus whole chilis because there are more of them and they get hidden in the food.. Overall I was satisfied with my lunch special (Kung Pao combo), but for dinner, while the portions were twice of their lunch special, the quality wasn't as good. Our Kung Pao was way too salty, and the beef in our Beef and Broccoli was too chewy. China Bros was so busy for dinner that it clearly couldn't keep up with food quality. So, three stars for now. - Love their shrimp. - If you order two plates, one might come out right away, the other several minutes later. - Their sauces are sweeter than most. The Spicy Garlic chicken tasted a lot like orange chicken (cross contamination?). - Odd that they put raw peanuts on top of their Kung Pao. - They "lock" the soda machine for dinner. You have to get a staffer to fill your drinks for you. (Tip - There is a key in the side of the machine so just turn it) - Similar to Pick Up Stix, but Pei Wei has better flavors, but this is 100X better than Dragon Express. read more

Of all the different places to get Chinese around North County, this is hands-down our favorite. The kitchen is efficient and the service is super friendly and helpful with menu questions. The staff seem to have a good rapport and really enjoy themselves, which makes the atmosphere and ambiance fun. Both dine-in and takeout provide an immense amount of food, especially for the money, but there's no skimping on quality. Upgrading your side from white rice to fried rice or noodles is also very reasonable, and these "sides" are absolutely entree-sized on their own. Whatever you do, get the chicken wings. read more

So I have only tried this place once but it was so incredibly outstanding that I had to give it 5 stars. I got sweet and sour pork which not all the quick Chinese food spots seem to have in Escondido. They had the sauce separate from the breaded pork so it didnt get soggy to go. Also got chow fun with beef, chicken, and shrimp. Wow, the quality of everything was so fresh and not at all greasy. Plus it's a ton of food for decent price. The pork came with steamed rice and the rice tasted fresh and was soft. I love Dragon express so much but China Bros just took the throne for quick Escondido Chinese food with that one meal. I cannot wait to come back and work my way through the menu. Seating is super cramped so I did carry out. So convenient to order online and then pick it up. Friendly service and the smell inside is absolutely intoxicating. Lots of people have been in there and it hasn't been open long. They have a super good deal at lunch too which I cant wait to try. read more

Great food, large portions, reasonable prices. My favorites are the pepper chicken and the orange chicken.

I just moved to the area and I was hungry for Chinese food. Came across this spot as I was driving home and decided to stop in. They had an extensive menu and very reasonable. I asked about their Hong Kong noodle dish. It crispy noodles with a gravy sauce with beef and veggies. Hit home and to my surprise it is absolutely amazing. There is only one other place that I go to eat crispy noodles. And now I found one near home. I'm so happy. Thanks Chuna Bros read more
