I can't speak to the Americanized menu, but I came here for takeout and got the ma po tofu and was pleasantly surprised! Tasted homemade, although my Sichuan palate wishes it was a little spicier. The highlight was actually the customer service! The staff gave me lots of free snacks and prioritized my order, as I hadn't called before and was waiting at the restaurant. I'd come back! read more

Good food! Try the traditional menu! We eat at this location often. Give it a try! The staff is okay. The ambiance could be improved.

I live nearby, so I went twice recently. I've heard that their Chinese menu is better, but I've only ordered off the regular menu, which comes with an egg roll (and it's pretty good). I got the empress pork, which was fried and covered in a thick red sauce (would not try again) and the Szechuan chicken, which was alright. It's quite a strange vibe in there, with lots of hand written signage about people stealing food. If you want authentic and delicious, I may try somewhere else. But if you want cheap on a weeknight takeout, you might have better luck. read more

Delicious, asked for a little spicier and they were nice enough to give me a whole thing of chili oil. I already ate some of the scalllion pancakes, the green curry is delicious and got an egg roll. All hot and amazing when it got here read more

I tried China Food recently and was really impressed! I started with the crab Rangoon, which they make in-house, and it was excellent--crispy, creamy, and easily some of the best I've had. For my main dish, I went with the Mongolian beef. It was packed with flavor and cooked just right. My friend had the vegetable Lo Mein and really enjoyed it too--lots of veggies and great taste. Now, the décor isn't anything fancy--it's a little worn and dated--but honestly, the food makes up for it. The server took great care of us, checking in just enough without being overbearing. While there weren't a lot of diners in the restaurant it seems to do a lot of carry out business. With the University of Cincinnati so close by, this might be the reason. All in all, this place is a hidden gem. The food is delicious, the service is great, and I definitely plan on coming back often. read more

The driver refused to deliver my food to my apartment, it was left in the lobby I was missing an egg roll and charged 4.49 for a free delivery. Grubhub said they couldn't help and so did the restaurant. read more

China Food is one of my favourite restaurant in Cincinnati. The owner is very generous and always give us snacks. The staffs are also very friendly! The food portion in China Food are huge and I normally do family style with my friends and fam. Best place to go if you want some authentic Chinese food near Clifton! Food review: 1. Spicy marinated cucumber with garlic (3.5/5) - Fresh cucumber marinated with spicy and garlic sauce. Not too spicy. - It's a good appetiser if you want more veggies in your meals. 2. Oyster Pancake (4/5) - egg pancake with oyster and some veggies in it - This reminds me of the oyster pancake I tried in Taiwan!! It's crispy outside and soft & chewy inside. 3. Braised pork with egg stew (4.5/5) - This's one of my favourite dish in China Food! The pork belly and eggs are braised with sweet soy sauce. Always finish one bowl of rice with this dish lol. read more

New to the area and took us a bit to find a good Chinese place. This is it! Expansive menu is impressive, great food. Extremely pleased and they deliver within an hour! read more

This place was my go to in college with the $7.95 lunch specials. Whenever I come back into town, I still go back here to eat. The owners are sweet and the hardest workers. I see them there every time I come in or pick up to go. My favorites are their braised pork and egg and the salt and pepper pork tenderloin. Their fried wontons are one of my favorites and a deal at $4.95. Today, I got the string beans with beef lunch special, fried wontons, and shrimp toast. read more

China Food was the perfect take-out dinner last night! China Food has a large menu with countless options of your favorites. Jack and I decided on ordering shrimp fried rice, sesame chicken with steamed white rice, and 2 fried egg rolls- all for only $25.00 with delivery and tip! Our food arrived within 15 minutes, which was extremely fast! Our food was still hot, which is always a plus. The crispy egg rolls with the yum sauce was delicious. The shrimp fried rice was HUGE! There was so much to eat, I could barely finish a quarter of it (but perfect for leftovers). The sesame chicken was covered in a thick, sweet sauce that made it taste amazing! Paired with the steamed rice, it was the perfect entree for Jack. read more

We love this place! It's cheap and tasty and has parking! The soups are amazing and the potstickers are too!! Our Chinese students we hosted love the authentic menu! And made many suggestions. read more

I have been here a couple times now to take advantage of their dinner special. (See their menu) The atmosphere is a typical hole in the wall place. The food is good and the portions are large. The food always arrives timely and the service is good. If you're looking for an outstanding Chinese food restaurant you may want to consider other options but if you're looking for a good quick affordable meal this is a great spot for the value. Some good choices: - orange chicken - sesame chicken - sweet and sour chicken ( get the sauce on the side ) I always get lo mein over their fried rice but that's just personal preference! Enjoy!! read more

Good food. Great taste. Very friendly service! Def a place you will want to try. Tastes very home made. The staff treats you like their own. They always make sure I'm taken care of. Sometimes when I order egg drop soup to go after ordering my meal, they'll give it to me for free! Which shows how much they care and that's great customer service. I will be coming back mainly because I also crave their chicken soup! read more

OMG! I can not stress enough on how awful and a rip off this place was. Please dont waste you money, calories or taste buds on this dump. The one time I didnt want to cook and we order 30+$ worth of junk to bring home and be amazed on how even though everyone has had their fair share of crappy Chinese, this place wrote new rules. Lets start with the dishes. Kung Po Chicken was unidentifiable ! couldn't tell what it was and no signature whole dried chilies. This dish came with fried rice, lol, what a joke. So their version of the basic fried rice is steamed rice mixed with soy sauce. So they just basically added the soy for me! no thanks! (photo added) My dish also came with two eggrolls. Basically fried eggroll wrappers with just shredded white cabbage! Yum not. Even their house made sauces were weird and gluey. I called, he just told me and I quote "Just order something different next time with steamed rice instead" pretty much everything sucked! read more

The food is great. The Service is good, and the ambiance is improving. I go there regularly. I particularly like the traditional menu.

This is my favorite restaurant in the city of Cincinnati. First things first. ONLY eat from the Authentic Chinese Menu. They have your standard American Chinese menu but its not where this place shines. On their authentic menu you will get a wide variety of choice and each dish is made with care. I am a huge fan of the Braised Pork with Egg and the Chili Fish. The staff are all extremely kind and enjoy when people are interested in the food. They have become friends and I even had birthday wishes from them. Service is great and very quick, prices are extremely fair, food is 10/10. I love this place, it reminds me of Shanghai. read more

Not sure why this little gem is hitting on only 3 stars. Our lunch here was great. My yellow curry dish was very flavorful with a generous portion of chicken and lots of different veggies. The lunch portion resembled the dinner portion at other restaurants I've been to and represented great value in todays market. Service was good with our server coming back to follow-up on the quality of the meal. Will visit again. read more

Worst. Meal. Ever. Just ordered this via UberEats, and it was so bad I had to jump on Yelp and leave a review here, too. I had a very simple order, and some very clear problems: 1.) Shrimp Toast: no real complaints here other than the order was left in the fryer too long and the came out super-dark and drenched in oil; 2.) Shrimp Roll: is basically a cabbage roll with no shrimp inside. The roll was sitting in a pool of grease in its container, and it literally dripped when I pulled it from the paper sleeve. I tried to dry it out with paper towels, and decided that was too much effort after only one bite. 3.) Shrimp Fried Rice: What a joke. I literally have a 2lb container of old/overcooked rice, and like 3 shrimp sitting in the corner of the dish. It looks like someone took three regular sized shrimp and cut them up into pieces to make is LOOK like there's shrimp present. Eat somewhere else. Anywhere else, quite frankly. read more

Generally good food. We eat here a lot. Some dishes are not good. We've tried most of the menu. Would recommend though.

General Tso dish was full of sugar along with 4 hard clumps of sugar as well! Ordered thru door dash , called testy back and they were rude and told to take it up with door dash! Do not eat here! read more

The food here is cheap, and for that I love. Now the quality? It's average. I got the sweet and sour chicken which was good. The combination fried rice was very very greasy. The plus is that you get lots of food. Again, very average Chinese, and I will keep trying what else is offered on campus. read more

Looks like I wrote a review a long time ago about this place. I wanted to give it another try... I ordered General Tso chicken for lunch a few weeks ago. I got 5 pieces of chicken and a crap ton of rice! which is gross. Well, I'm an idiot and ordered again! I'm a gluten for punishment. DO NOT GO HERE! ITS AWFUL! I ordered on doordash, because covid. I ordered sweet n sour shrimp, they sent chicken. My daughter ordered Mongolian chicken, they sent beef. My other daughter ordered orange chicken, they sent Szechuan chicken. I don't know what is going on there but the rice is disgusting. I spent almost $50 because of fees thru door dash and they only offered $31, I know that has nothing to do with China Food but I'm pissed! oOOH to top it all off the whole bag was covered in brown sauce. Everything napkins, forks, cookies, sauce everywhere! I definitely learned my lesson! read more

Their food is always on point. Like perfect. It's the only Chinese food I'd order from Doordash. I use to order from many Chinese restaurant places but most of the time they're just so disappointing. This place keeps their standards and I just love it. read more

I ordered General Tao's chicken through Door Dash. The picture shows broccoli, but there is none in my meal. When I called the restaurant, they said I should have asked. I wish I could share a picture. My daughters tried to warn me NOT to order from here! NEVER WILL AGAIN! read more

Pretty good serving size for the price, but the veggies were all raw and the fried rice was bland. They included a complementary egg roll so bonus points for that. read more

I am not sure why the ratings are so low for this place. It's been my to for the last 3 years. Try the Bean Curd if you want something with tofu and veggies. The brown sauce is perfect. The shrimp fried rice is tasty. Add some egg foo young on top and it'll satisfy your taste buds. The beef and broccoli is also super tasty if you want something pretty traditional. They're also quick and servings can't be complained about. read more

This place used to be great. A few years ago, I remember raving to my friends about eating here. This past experience though....it left quite a bit to be desired. I ordered 2 egg rolls, pot stickers, chicken fried rice, & Kung Pao chicken. All of this to share with my fiance. The KP chicken seemed pretty bland. Somehow it smelled spicier than it actually tasted. It wasn't "bad" it just wasn't very compelling. The chicken fried rice was ok, flavor-wise, but there were not many vegetables in it. Again, it wasn't awful, but I have definitely had better from other places around here. The pot stickers were good but again kinda bland. And the dough seemed thicker than it should have been. The egg rolls were egg rolls. Hard to mess that up. I liked them. I think the best part about this place is how easy it is to order online and the food was ready quickly. If you're in the mood for something fast & easy, try it out. But don't go into it prepared for a culinary breakthrough. read more

Food is good but definitely middle of the road. The chicken fried rice is a wee bit too bland but the general tso chicken is better. I also got and egg roll and that was probably the best out of everything read more

We pass this place so many times and never stop by since the name makes me think it would be like American Chinese type of food. But you would be wrong. We finally tried because our friends strongly recommended it. The food was really good and surprisingly authentic. People work there are so nice. This restaurant becomes one of our favorite spot for authentic Chinese food. We always get braised pork belly, pan fried rice cake with beef (extra pan fried to get a lil bit burned), cumin lamb, mala fish, etc. I would rate the food close to 4 and the environment 3. Since I cannot give 3.5 on yelp so I give it a 4 read more

bad customer. I called to tell them about my food, the young lady did not care at all and directly hung up in my face . Had my wife call up there a few times and all they would do is answer then put the phone on the counter. very rude I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone . All tourists stay away from this place , don't let the reviews fool you. read more

I ordered from here thru Yelp. It was the first time i ever used the delivery option on yelp. I must say, I wasn't all that impressed with China food. I ordered chicken and broccoli with a side of large rice, chicken lo mein and 3 egg rolls. I even paid extra for extra fortune cookies. The food took about 50mins from the time I placed my order to arrive at my doorstep. The plus side: it was piping hot, and I got a million and 5 fortune cookies. Only down side was that the chicken lo mein looked over cooked and was extremely dry. The chicken and broccoli was fine but very bland, could have used some more seasoning. The rice was fantastic. You can't really mess that up. The egg rolls where very oily. I wasn't sure what I was going to get, but I do know every Chinese place is different. Not sure if I'll be reordering from here. I wasn't to impressed with the first go around. read more
