    Fortune cookie
    Guillermo P.

    I've been to China Cafe several times and I love it. The food is excellent, my favorites plates are the sesame chicken and the sweet and sour chicken from the combinations menu, which comes with fried rice, a spring roll and 1 chicken wing and a fortune cookie. Everytime I'm there no one else is... so ambience it's very quiet, but it's also a very busy restaurant cause there are a lot of people coming to get online orders. The cashier is always very nice and polite. I highly recommend this place!

    Sweet and sour chicken with white rice.  Sauce on the side.

    Delicious food, prompt and polite service. The pork fried rice was tasty and the fried chicken was tasty and crispy. The sweet and white chicken was also really delicious and the white rice was light and fluffy. We will be back for sure. Very easy to order through their website online and pick up in store.

    Chicken fried rice

    Kung pao chicken had large vegetable pieces and not substantial amounts of chicken. No peanuts in the dish which is odd, when several area Chinese restaurants have peanuts in their kung pao. The fried rice had no hardly any veggies like peas or carrots. Mostly rice and bits of chicken. Serviceable but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    I had a hankering for some Chinese food and ordered take out here. I went with the vegetable lo mein and some hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup was okay. Not bad. However, the vegetable lo mein was very over cooked and just not up to par at all. I was very disappointed in the dish and ended up throwing it out. Apparently they have a lunch buffet here during the week. Also, waiting for my food in the dining room was like torture. I haven't seen a place so badly in need of an update/remodel/throw the whole place away. I mean, you got wallpaper from who-knows-when peeling off, it's dark and dank, and it was stifling hot in there. Just old, dilapidated booths and carpet and I was ret ta go!!! I can't go back. Goodbye. Forever.

    Jumbo fried shrimp and shrimp fried rice. This rice use to be soon bomb! Today it wasn't.

    Stopped in today for my usual shrimp fried rice spicy. I also ordered the fried jumbo shrimp. I was given tarter sauce with the shrimp. Today my rice didn't taste as fresh, it looked good but the delicious taste I'm use to wasn't there. I asked for cocktail sauce explaining that it was a red sauce like ketchup. The waitress went inside the kitchen and came back with a younger guy who had a lil attitude when explaining all that they had was tarter, blue cheese, ranch or sweet and sour. I calmly said well that's OK. He just didn't seem happy about having to come out. He said it in a mean way. I know this is more of a takeout place but I sat and received table service I think that's what pissed them off too. The service wasn't as kind as other times. I felt rushed and they all seemed irritated. I also believe the picture taking of my food pissed them off. Makes me wonder what they are hiding. I won't be returning I use to really love this place.

    "Orange" Chicken

    Ordered orange chicken and this restaurant literally sent up fried up chicken and thicken orange juice on the side. Sauce literally smelt and tastes like orange juice.

    My wife and I were craving Szechuan chicken for lunch, and since she wanted to try a new matcha tea…read morespot in Duluth, we decided to turn it into a little date day. We found a restaurant not far from the matcha shop. It felt more like a Chinese takeout spot than a traditional sit-down restaurant, so there wasn't much to speak of in terms of decor. We decided to share everything we ordered. The first dish we tried was the Szechuan noodles. The flavor was excellent, but unfortunately, the dish arrived only lukewarm, as it appeared to have been sitting for a while before being brought to the table. Next, we ordered soup dumplings, but the restaurant accidentally brought out pan-seared dumplings instead. Thankfully, they let us keep them while they prepared our original order. The pan-seared dumplings were actually very good--piping hot and full of flavor. When the soup dumplings finally arrived, they were decent but didn't quite live up to the pan-seared version and lacked the same level of flavor. Finally, our Szechuan chicken arrived. It was hot, fresh, and delicious. The chicken was crispy with a great spice profile that delivered the classic Szechuan kick without being overwhelming. It was served with fried rice, which was fine but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the experience was good but not exceptional. The food had some strong points, especially the Szechuan chicken and pan-seared dumplings, but the restaurant ultimately felt more like a solid Chinese takeout spot than a destination dining experience.

We were greeted quickly at both the door and table. For a dumpling house, there weren't that many options for dumplings. We order two types of dumplings, a noodle dish and an entree on recommendation of the staff. The pork soup dumplings were very soupy on the inside and had a good flavor. The pan fried bao dumplings were alright but morning to write home about; I thought the bun to filling ratio was good for a bao though. For noodles we got the house rice noodles. I typically don't order this but I thought it was really well done with a good ratio of ingredients and flavor. Lastly we ordered the sales egg pork ribs. They were cut to bite size pieces but that's deceptive since they were bone in. Some pieces were all bone and some all meat. While the flavor was good, some might call it dry and the cut made it difficult to eat. While the seasoning for all the dishes were flavorful, I thought the salt was a little heavy. Overall the restaurant was clean with a semi modern decor. The staff were all friendly and tried to be helpful throughout the visit. I'd give it a try if you're in the neighborhood.

Overall, we were impressed with their service and food preparation more than the food itself, all the dishes were good, but no dish stands out to my expectations for a Michelin Bib Gourmand, so the price as well. Here was our experience: Appetizer-Signature Salted Chicken: the skin was crispy; we ordered Steamed Pork Dumplings outside of regular menu, it's so so; main dish - Mapo Tofu W. Minced Pork: taste good, tofu was very soft; Stir-Fried Pork Belly with Green Pepper: pork part was good, pepper was on the raw side, not matching the pork; soup - Tofu and Veggies Duck bone Soup: taste diluted with more water; Desert - Peach Gummies with Tremella: cold and smooth. I feel like to give 3 and half stars, but 4 stars anyway.

We ordered chicken with Shanghai bok choy that was as good or better than any I've had in Chinatown in SF. Super garlicky and that "cooked in a hot wok" Cantonese flavor that I crave. It wasn't greasy, the chicken was white meat, and it was incredibly hot and fresh. The icing on the cake - a great portion and price. We will return anytime we are in the area! Tip for anyone who likes shellfish: buy your lobster or crab from the market (sometimes on excellent sale) and bring it raw and in the bag. They will clean and cook it for you Hong Kong style - it's just $6/lb.

The restaurant was super busy and had lots of take out and catering orders as well which was a good sign.

The fish dish was filled with fresh peppers and onions with tender white fish in a delicious brown sauce and served with rice. Excellent dish. Our second dish was seafood ho fun (flat rice noodles). This dish was served fresh and piping hot with shrimp, squid, fish, green veggies, and black mushroom along with other ingredients server on top of a bed of broad rice noodles.
