We tried the orange chicken, beef and green beans, and fried wontons. Service was also great and speedy (it wasn't busy at all though). Great vibes. Would come again.

The orange chicken was by far the best choice, plenty of meat although a bit too much breading.

Only okay. The ambiance was .... Interesting. The food was only okay. Veggie noodle dish was incredibly plain.

Came here for the first time about two years ago and I was not impressed. Came here again for the second time and still wasn't impressed. The front entrance has no curb appeal at all. Looks really outdated and uninviting. Upon entering, we weren't welcomed warmly, but to only be asked, "for how many?" After sitting down, was asked several times after just minutes if we were ready to order. Appreciate the enthusiasm of taking our order and all, but we weren't asked with enthusiasm, we were asked more like, "are you ready to order, or not" tone. The server was lacking people skills. We ordered: honey walnut prawns, chicken and shrimp lo mein, green beans, sweet and sour chicken, Szechuan scallops, and house fried rice. The honey walnut prawns were drowning in sauce and looked like a glob of mayonnaise sauce under it, around it, and over it. On top of that, it was decorated with broccoli encircling the dish - the weirdest thing I ever saw! No one in their right mind, who knows how to serve (and cook)honey walnut prawns correctly in a restaurant would ever do such a ridiculous thing. I almost gawked at the sight. The lo mein was probably the worst lo mein I ever tasted - soggy, and flavorless. The string beans were decent along with sweet and sour chicken. If I HAD to ever come back to this place it's either one of 2 things: 1. Someone was paying for it. 2. It would only be for sweet and sour chicken and the string beans. That would be it! I've had better Chinese food in Utah county than this place.

I've been looking for a good Chinese place in Utah county and saw this recommended in a Facebook group I'm in. I came here and read reviews and thought I'd give it a try. My guy got the orange chicken and I got the sesame chicken. The orange chicken was ok, it could use less soy sauce and more orange flavor. I think we both agreed the sesame chicken was better. We both also got the combination dinner so it came with ham fried rice, egg roll (or paper chicken), a large breaded shrimp (that was SO delicious), a little chip, and your choice of egg drop (we both got this and agreed it was very different than other Chinese restaurants but good!)or hot and sour. Our waitress was efficient and we were probably in and out of there in less than an hour. My only complaint is that it was probably 80 degrees in there! I look forward to going back to try other dishes!

General Tao's Chicken, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, house special Lo mein, Chicken Lettuce Wrap, Egg Roll

We had a very nice meal, everyone was stuffed. Very reasonably priced and fair to large portions. We had Cream cheese wontons (so fresh!), egg rolls had a beautiful crust, (not heavy chewy!) we also had the chicken lettuce wraps, (was not expecting such a large portion). Our mains included General Tsaos (MIL was raving over it), house special lo mein and salt and pepper shrimp (wow!). Service was prompt and courteous. We would come back (we are not locals).

I haven't been to this restaurant in quite a while. I believe it used to be China Light Cafe. I actually did door dash on this visit and was actually quite disappointed in a few things. I'll break it down for you. The biggest disappointment was how long it took to get my food. It took almost an hour and a half from order to my door. Three dashers came and went before the food was ready to be picked up. I attempted to call the restaurant to see what was going on and it went to voicemail. This was about 7 PM. They closed at 8. To me, an avid fan of Chinese food, I assume it shouldn't be too difficult to get out a dinner order of lemon chicken and cashew chicken. It was the lemon chicken, it had been over cooked until it was hard to chew. The flavor was your basic lemon chicken, so that was good. I do recommend the cashew chicken if you do go here. The egg rolls are great, but the prawns were pulled out of the freezer and fried up for you and unfortunately over cooked again. The person on the fryer must have been having an off night I guess. There was a large helping of ham fried rice with each meal. There wasn't anything special about the rice which is just fine. The soup was fantastic. I got egg flour soup and it came with two big crisps to crunch up. The soup was actually what kept this at three stars for me. All in all, pretty disappointed in this restaurant, but it was the only one open on a Sunday. I will probably not recommend this restaurant given there are a couple others that really hit the mark and are located in the same city. See my other reviews for those. Cheers, Mike your favorite food critic.

We've enjoyed coming here over the years. A fun tidbit about China Isle is that on the first day of Chinese New Year, they gave each of us a brand new $1 bill! So fun. I don't know if they do this every year but it was fun to be a part of this year. I feel like they need more staff on hand, especially since we were there in the evening on a holiday. There was only one waitress running around like a mad woman and one busboy. Watching them was exhausting and not at all relaxing for the customers. The food was good. We always get the dinner combo meals. They come with your choice of a main entree (limited), fried rice, egg roll, and soup. We always get general tsos chicken-- CLASSIC, and the egg drop soup. So yummy!

Our experience yesterday was a little different than we've had here in the past. It may be because we accidentally came on Chinese New Year, but they were understaffed and the service was extremely slow. The food was still very good, and is one of the better options in the area for full service Chinese food. Be warned, though, they did not honor their 10% off coupon for checking in on yelp. That was very disappointing.

I don't know why this place doesn't have more people in there every time we go in. China Isle is definitely the best Chinese food in American Fork, and maybe even in Utah County. The orange peel beef is easily the best thing on the menu, it's good and fairly inexpensive. The wait staff doesn't always speak English, but they always get the order right. Try the potstickers, I am fairly positive they are homemade there and they are so good! If you haven't been, go, if you have been you know how true this post is. read more

Review is based solely on take-out lunch specials. I work just down the street from here and love to pick up the lunch special. 1) it is a great price. Normally, about $6.50 and has tons of food. You will not be left feeling hungry after finishing. 2) it is super quick. I can walk in without having placed an order before and have my food within 6-10 minutes. The food is by no means the best Chinese food ever, but it exceeds expectations for 6 bucks. Most employees speak very poor English but are always kind and nice. I will definitely keep going there for lunch and recommend it to others too! read more

Although not the best Chinese food I've had, they are the best I've found in Utah County. Portions are good, flavor is there on most of their dishes. Sometimes the ham fried rice is a little salty.

My husband and I have probably been at this place about 30-40 times. In the beginning we thought it was fantastic, authentic and the best chinese we had ever had. Howvever in the last 6 months they have been slipping. The food doesn't seem to taste as good, and the service has become s l o w. I believe they are growing too fast and do not have enough staff or the same cook. We used to go twice a month, but not anymore. We haven't given up on them, but will not be going as often.

Normally this is my favorite local Chinese food. But today I ordered the lunch special with my usual favorite Lo Mein (as a substitute for fried rice). The Lo Mein tasted like cigarette smoke and it had contaminated the taste of everything touching it on the plate. I asked for a refund because I had only tasted the food. They refused. Won't be eating here again. Terrible customer service is unacceptable. read more

We really liked this place. We were there on a Monday evening, so they weren't too busy. When we arrived, the parking area was quite dark, and the doorway wasn't well lit so it appeared a bit dismal, but when we got inside we found it very pleasantly lit up and very comfortable. The tables were all very nicely set with beautifully folded cloth napkins. We were seated immediately and a server took our drink orders right away. There were three of us and we ordered a family style meal for three, which featured egg drop soup (quite good), egg roll appetizer plate, and then big plates of cashew chicken, sweet and sour pork, and broccoli beef. I ordered ham-fried rice also. My favorite was the sweet and sour pork, but all the dishes were good. My only complaint might have been that some of the food (the rice especially) wasn't served quite hot enough, but other than that, it was all really good. Nothing spectacular, just good, solid Chinese food. Waaay too much for the three of us to eat, so we took home lots of food. I mentioned it was my granddaughter's birthday and our very nice waiter brought her a complimentary big slice of cheesecake - nice touch! They seem to be working hard here to provide a pleasant experience, and I believe they're succeeding. read more

I decided to give this place a shot as there was a coupon given to me, and it was a good choice. I grew up in Denver and there were plenty of GOOD Chinese places around, but since moving to UT that has not been the same story. I too saw the sign at the register that China Isle was voted top 3 places for Chinese food in UT, behind PF Chang's (good but overpriced), and dare I say Panda Express (does that even fall into the Chinese category). We have gone back several times and each time have had to try something new, never have we been disappointed.

There are also a couple tables outside in front in case you want to get it to go and eat out there?? Not sure. We ordered the fried spring roll app. So hot fresh and delicious. I went with a sweet and savory curry including mango and pumpkin with chicken. I also tried a bite of the red curry and massaman curry with tofu. Everything tasted so good. I hadn't had Thai food in a while and I want to go back soon. It was also served beautifully. Great dinner experience.

I the tortillas weren't really cooked or heated through very well and there was literally no cheese. When I flagged down the young man who seemed to the shift, he very politely told me expensive and they were cutting back on it. When I showed him my taco with literally 2 to 3 tiny shreds of cheese on it, instead of the cooked cheese shell that I was accustomed to, he was like "oh whoa that's not enough!" no kidding. Additionally, the meat was overcooked, kind of crispy and crunchy as opposed to being tender or juicy. We each got two tacos, we each got the bird and my husband got a Memphis and I got fleeing Californian. None of them were up to smoked taco standards. I tried to leave a review through their website and what I got was "Sorry this seems like Spam so you can't submit this review." How to lose a in one visit. This would be the way. But I'm sad because they really did have something unique going for them, very tasty. Very intriguing mix of flavors. But you gotta bring back the cheese guys you gotta bring back the cheese and the crispy crust and the tender meat because that's why we showed up in the first place.

Step inside and you will find a beautifully decorated space with an open kitchen greeting you at the entrance and a staff that is genuinely enthusiastic about the food they are serving. Ocotillo specializes in the cuisine of Sonora, Mexico, a region known for bold meat and seafood dishes. They also offer a daily brunch menu that is worth planning your weekend around. We ordered the tres leches pancakes, a triple stack that delivers exactly what the name promises. Bathed in a three milk mixture and topped with fresh berries and whipped cream, moist but not to sweet. The Sonorense combination was equally impressive. Arrachera steak strips, chilaquiles made with poblano chile, a tamal de elote, and two eggs. The arrachera was excellent and the chilaquiles were crispy, which is exactly how they should be and not something every kitchen gets right. The menu is long enough that choosing something different next time will be a genuine challenge. Omelettes, chilaquiles, brioches, and other specialties give you plenty of reasons to return. We are already looking forward to exploring the lunch and dinner menu. Slightly more expensive than a standard breakfast spot, but the generous portions and the quality of the ingredients justify every dollar. Five stars without hesitation.

Epic brunch adventure for us. Delicious sauce on the chilies and the meat was incredible. Loved…read morethe chips and salsa as well waited. Having a wife from Mexico she approves the menu and the food.

Overall,…read moreit's a great addition to the local food scene and a perfect spot for when you want a meal that feels less fast-food and higher quality. I ordered the Beet Salad with Chicken and it was delicious. The ingredients were fresh, and the chicken was cooked perfectly--it's a great choice if you're looking for something light but filling. We also got a side of sweet potato fries. While the flavor was there, they definitely could have used another minute or two in the fryer for some extra crunch, and a little more salt to really make them pop. That being said, the meal was still very enjoyable! It's a clean, inviting space with a menu that has something for everyone. I'll definitely be back to try one of their tri-tip sandwiches next time!

I give 2 overall. The food tasted great but the service is absolutely horrible. I've eaten here six times and they made me feel awkward and unwelcome. When I'm sitting there eating they, meaning the staff, stare at me and are a little too attentive and its very awkward. I ask if I can do substitutes and they say, 'sorry we don't do that'. Seriously? McDonalds will even do substitutes. Panda express does. The portions are very small and the food is way too expensive. The only plus I give is that their food is great but everything else sucks. Not to mention they never smile and they treat you like you're there for them, not for yourself. Go somewhere else... And by the way their menu said that substitutes are available and I pointed that out on the sixth time and then my orange chicken was overcooked that time. Hmmmm? read more

Chinese Food. It's something I graze in once a month so I decided to try China Isle. I ordered via Door Dash and, luckily, they provided quick service which either meant China Isle was quick at cooking or they had the food pre-heated. I had the Sweet & Sour Chicken Lunch Special. An affordable price at $6.95 ($8.45 via Door Dash) The chicken seemed a little dry but the juicy chunks of pineapple and the light covering of Sweet & Sour sauce helped...a little bit. It came with a very generous serving of flavorful Ham Fried Rice and an egg roll. In the end, it was enough to satisfy my Chinese Food hunger. I rated this 3 Stars and wouldn't be opposed to eating there again. read more

The food is EXCELLENT!!!!! It is absolutely outstanding. The reason why I gave four stars instead of five is because the service sucks. They were very sour and it was awkward but I keep going back for the amazing food. This is literally the best Chinese food I've ever eaten and I've been here lots of times. While the food is great it is over prices and the service is terrible but I'm still a fan! read more

We got this one Sunday afternoon based on its good reviews off on Yelp and we were not disappointed. It was not fancy by any means but it was good takeout Chinese food that defiantly does not taste like soap like Panda does. The lunch specials are a pretty good deal but just don't stray off of them and you can get out of there pretty cheap with a good meal. We defiantly will be going back!! read more

Welp, don't bother using the check-in coupon for 10% off unless you have a way to print it. They wouldn't honor it. Aside from that, I like the food and the staff is friendly. However, it's been a while since I've been here and I don't remember it being so run down and neglected. Hopefully the kitchen is maintained better. read more
