I have been eating here for at least 6 years. The food is always cooked to order and it's always good. The couple who own and run it are very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't eat anywhere else for Chinese food. read more

I just love the lemon chicken! The new menus say delivery, but I was told on phone, they don't, so not sure why that is, but the food is go fresh and good. read more

The food is so good! But it's really just takeout. There are a few tables, but I can't really see anyone eating in there. So very small, but BIG on taste and reasonably priced. Definitely a hidden gem. read more

Great food. Mom and Pop business, not very big place. Bring cash. They don't take cards.

Definitely a hole in the wall. First time getting something from here. we have lived in Haysville for 14 years and just now got around to it. the owners are very friendly. The prices are reasonable. The portions are rather Large! The food is very fresh and tasty! we would definitely recommend this restaurant!!!! read more

Okay, so we've been regular customers of China Cafe for more than three years. It's always been quick, hot, and most of the time good to very good. Tonight we ordered a Kung Pao Chicken and a Hunan Beef, our go dishes. The Hunan Beef was swimming in a layer of clear oil, that had separated from the brown sauce. It truly was inedible. My wife drove back to Haysville to see if it could be remade, only to be told by the owner that there was nothing wrong, that it was not oil, just brown sauce. He hatefully gave her money back and told her "no more orders! Do not come back!" It stunned us. We've gone there 2 to 3 times a month for more than three years. Only to be verbally assaulted and told never to come back the first time we ever had any complaint of any kind. I'm ashamed the number of times I've recommended this little restaurant to friends and family. read more

Love this little place. They're always nice and make sure to provide a good service. Even insisted I leave with food when I went in after hours. Always good to support places like this! read more

I went because of reviews. They were correct about the appearance, but some of my favorite places are in the typically "dive" environment. The amount of filth is unexcusable, a little elbow grease would go a long way. The place smelled like there was inappropriate ventilation and a burnt grease grill or wok. I was still willing to try the food, because the reviews were so good. After several bites of my to go order I found a hair in my food. I searched the rest and found two more. Unfortunate, because the man who took my order was extremely pleasant and I wanted to like it, but will not try again and will advise friends to stay clear. read more

This place may be hidden, small, a little old and shabby, but the food here is cooked fresh and delicious. They even deliver after 5pm! If you're in Haysville, give this place a try. read more

See all

Love this place and love frank and his wife ! They've had a restaurant in Haysville for at least over 35 years

THE KILLER fried rice, and dumplings! The special fried rice is just epic awesome, with pork, chicken, and shrimp in one (plentiful) dish. The dumplings are perfect, and come with the best sauce I've ever had with dumplings, hands down! read more

I would give them zero stars, but don't have that option. horrible customer service! tried to call in a carry out order and he hung up on me twice was very aggressive with me and rude on the phone. Never ate there and was looking forward to trying it. Was just trying to order some fried rice and he was yelling at me because they apparently don't have that even tho its a Chinese restaurant doesn't make since. read more

This isn't a candle light romantic dinner kind of Chinese joint. This is a Chinese restaurant like the ones I went to growing up in the 70's and 80's. The food is great, a little greasy, and they deliver on orders over $15. I always get take out or delivery. I'm not sure why I ever ate at the other place in Haysville. They used to have an amazing lunch special, but I haven't got it in awhile. read more

This is my favorite Chinese carry out. The lo-mien noodles very good and their lemon chicken is to die for! The couple that works here is the sweetest. read more

Like most residents here, I thought Great Wall was our only Chinese option in town. When we got a 3" piece of metal scouring pad in our Sesame Chicken at Great Wall, we mourned the loss of easy-access Chinese, because we refused to EVER go there again. Another person told me about China Cafe, and it took me a little bit to find it. This place is practically hidden behind the Little Ceasars's......just look a bit south of Ceasars and you'll find it. We have lived in this area for a decade and never knew China Cafe existed! First of all, you should know they are cash only here. My first visit, I pulled out plastic and had to leave empty handed. Cash only....... Our first order (after hitting the ATM) was their lemon chicken and sesame chicken. I don't know if any of you remember Aloha on Peachtree by Towne East? it's long gone. But this place has THAT kind of quality. All the chicken is tender and juicy, and in nice sized pieces. Everything tastes freshly prepared. If you are used to bits of scraggly chicken, gristly chicken, or food that is mostly batter (ala Great Wall), this place won't be for you. If you know and love quality food, then you will love this place. The lemon chicken is especially delicious. The portions are HUGE. In taste, quality, and portion size, this place far outranks Great Wall. (Plus their customer service is far better) On the rice, their generic rice seems more like Minute Rice with peas and carrots. I do have to say that even though it's generic, it's far tastier than that weird yellow crud that Great Wall serves. You can sub fried rice into any entree for 1.00 more. To be honest I'd rather have that fried rice than the 'minute rice' any day, and wish they didn't even use that stuff. But hey I'm not a big rice fan anyway. Tonight we ordered the garlic chicken. I expected typical garlic chicken with fried pieces, but hoped for non-battered chicken. Yes, what we got was heaven! Just the right amount of sauce, not sweet, with a lot of garlic and fresh, crisp-tender vegetables! I could have eaten a bucket of this. And, we split another lemon chicken. (What can I say?? It's so good!!) [It was dark when I saw this on their window, but I am pretty sure they offer a special of fried rice, 2 egg rolls, and a soda. I know for a fact that there is only one place within 50 miles I'd get THAT special, and that's at Fried Rice at Pawnee and Oliver.........just saying.] I'm so glad we found China Cafe and moved up from Chinese-food-mediocrity! read more

Unforgettable. Not one but several long gray hairs in our two dishes. The fried rice was flavorless the service was so so. Ate there almost a year ago and every time I drive past my stomach still turns. read more

The food was hot and fresh but greasy and bland. We will not return. It is also cash only and dirty.

Food is delicious, the prices are great for the portion size, and people are friendly. Better than Great Wall by a long shot.

Consistently delicious food. Authentic. Friendly, fast service. Generous servings reasonably priced.

Everything we have tried here so far, has been fresh as can be. They only take cash though, so don't show up with a card like I did. Call ahead and reduce your wait time, as well. Our favorites are the lemon chicken and lo mein. We've tried many things from their menu and nothing has been bad, these are just our two most-requested favorites in the household. We often get several items and share them, each meal is VERY generous in portion size. Very fresh, tasty ingredients and not mostly batter like Great Wall. I'm not impressed so much with the 'fried rice' and the egg rolls (very tiny) but we don't generally eat those anyway. If I had to rate them against Great Wall they'd still rate higher (and China Cafe's rice is not nuclear yellow). Their sweet and sour sauce is pretty tasty with the egg rolls. They are closed on Sundays; if you have a craving on Sunday, you are out of luck or else you have to eat at GW. I won't ever be that desperate again. read more

The best Chinese food every! Always hot and fresh! Always taste amazing! Friendly service!
