China Kitchen

We walked in to place our order. You can tell they are very busy and take significant local orders…read more It wasn't anything fancy or notable. They aren't a dine-in restaurant per se, simply take away with a few tables inside. We ordered over $120 of food and it was both accurate and steaming hot. Tastes varied on the differently prepared tofu. The egg drop soup was a complete miss- pure gel-like and not appealing. The egg rolls were tasty and rice was fresh. The broccoli and sauce was the best out of everything. We'd likely try again if in area.

I ordered Hot & Spicy Shrimp, way overwhelmingly sweet. Shrimp in it was good and big, but…read morecouldn't eat rice, just tasted like thick sweet and sour with red pepper flakes added. Husband had Mongolian Beef and said it was good. Portion left him hungry. The forks they give you to eat with are ridiculous. Like toddler-size, cheap plastic, hard to hold and bend. I'd be willing to pay a quarter to use a real fork or a better quality disposable! Pork eggrolls and cream cheese wontons were very good and all food was nice and hot. Not much for ambience, a couple of tables with boxes stacked all over, really cold, couldn't take winter coat off to eat. Service was quick.

Truly disgusting. The egg rolls are mediocre, frozen rolls you can buy at any supermarket. Ditto on the sweet and sour chicken which is nothing more than frozen chicken nuggets tossed in bottled sweet and sour sauce. The menu of this place and their substandard quality underscores why the Yelp ratings are so poor. Never again.

Avoid this place if you don't want to get sick.

I let them know I would be back in 10 minutes, and they said it would be ready in 5 (by 11:55). The order wasn't ready until 12:15. I have no issue with the delay; however, there was no communication via email or at the restaurant that it would not be ready when promised, or an updated ETA beyond "it's not ready." The only reason I gave 3 stars is that the food is so very good, it's the service that could improve.
