Honestly this is a great neighborhood Chinese restaurant. I've driven by it 100 times as it's so close to my house, but it wasn't until this past weekend that I decided we'd give it a try. It was black Friday, I'd been out and about with my mom and sister earlier in the day, the kids were exhausted, we were tired of thanksgiving food, and I needed to run some errands nearby. As I was driving down Antioch I thought, you know what? I bet I could order from that Chinese restaurant nearby and pick it up on the way home. I stopped in the parking lot of the CVS across the street, placed the order for pickup, ran my errands, and by the time I got back to China Rose (about 15 minutes later) the food was piping hot and ready. It was GOOD too! It tasted as I was expecting - like a solid American Chinese takeout experience. The price was also good so we'll be back! read more

China Rose - Chinese Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

I have been a loyal customer at China Rose located at 9536 Antioch Rd Overland Park, KS 66212 for over 18 years, which makes writing this review incredibly difficult. Recently, I was waiting for my order and witnessed the head cook finishing up his meal in the dining area. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, blew his nose, and immediately returned to his cooking line to prepare my food without washing his hands. The head cook sets the tone for sanitation practices in any kitchen, so witnessing this routine health violation from the team leader was deeply alarming. I had to ask his wife to relay a request for him to wash his hands before touching my meal. While my entree was safely cooked over high heat, this incident makes me question what other sanitation practices are being skipped. I feel completely let down by a restaurant I trusted for nearly two decades. On behalf of all loyal patrons, I beg management to ensure all employees strictly wash their hands when returning from meal breaks or restroom visits. read more

The food is great however we ordered from here specifically to get the broccoli on the side of the orange chicken. We carried out and did not get the broccoli. :( read more

Great food! Best Egg Foo Yung in KC! Fried rice had that slightly chewy texture I like. Good size portions.

If you're looking for a new Chinese takeout restaurant this is it!! You can tell they make it to order and do not leave things sitting under a headlamp like other places. Our food is always hot and fresh, even the crab Rangoon!! I will sometimes just order the Rangoon from here for a snack because it's so good!! Its really easy to get to on the corner of 95th and Antioch. It's a little place in the strip mall, I never dined in so I can't speak for that, but the carry out is always amazing!! read more

It takes a lot going wrong for me to give a one star review but in this case, I feel it's warranted. FPO and I are looking for a go to Chinese restaurant in Kansas City and, based on the reviews we've seen on Yelp, we decided to give China Rose a try. I should've known we hadn't found it when we walked in the door and the first words out of the cashier's mouth were, "We only do take out here!". It went downhill from there. FPO has been looking for chow mein everywhere on Yelp. It's on the menu for China Rose so ... The next thing the cashier said, "So you know, that's only vegetables. No noodles." Uh huh. FPO ordered a Dragon Phoenix which is supposed to be half General Tso's Chicken, half Spicy Shrimp. The chicken was super salty and the shrimp was overly breaded, more sweet and sour than spicy ... and it had peas in it. I ordered the Happy Family. It's supposed to have Jumbo shrimp, beer chicken, scallop crab meat and mixed veggies with a house-made brown sauce. I thought, sweet! The pesce-proletarian found something to eat. Sigh! The first ingredient I found in my dinner was beef. The second thing I found could've been chicken or it could've been pork. I'm not sure. I picked around, looking for the shrimp and vegetables but in the end, I couldn't eat it. It also didn't help matters that we could see straight into the kitchen and one of the cooks wasn't wearing a mask. Definitely not going back. read more

China Rose - Chinese Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Absolutely one of my favorite Chinese restaurants around the Overland Park area. I've only ever had takeout from here due to Covid but everything I've had was top notch. My favorite of Kung Pao Chicken at the moment. I'm a fan of brown sauce and was hooked after the first time going there and trying there trying their Chicken and vegetables (comes with brown sauce instead of white). Depending on the time of day, they have lunch combos and dinner combos too, which means an appetizer or soup is also included in the meal. I can tell they take a lot of pride in the quality of food they provide here. Although, they only do takeout at this time, they still keep the inside of the establishment clean and inviting. There is plexy glass to separate you and the cashier. They provide hand sanitizer and promote social distancing while waiting. I'm happy to support a business that exercises clean and safe practices. read more

3.5/5 Service was great Prices are fair no complaints Food was good was disappointed that there was much more green pepper than meat and a spicy label on the dish but had no spice at all. The egg drop soup and crab ragoon was good but on the bland side. Overall was good will return just not regularly. read more

Food is always tasty and hot. We call orders in and pick up and they are always ready with our food. They even include your sauces and utensils. Makes it nice to take it to a park and eat! read more

I'll be very generous and give it two stars since the food was edible. This review is based on a take-out order on Sunday, August 4, 2024 which was the first time I bought food from China Rose since our usual Chinese restaurant is closed on Sundays and our guests wanted Chinese food. We've eaten at and ordered take-out food from many Chinese restaurants here, around the U.S., in "China towns" and this was the strangest supposedly Chinese food we've ever experienced. First of all, the vegetables used in the stir fries (Cashew Chicken and Triple Delight) were obviously bagged generic frozen chopped vegetables - chopped too small to use chop sticks. The Cashew Chicken should have been called Cashew Celery since there was a massive amount of little pieces of chopped celery. Not that a stir fry of this type has to have bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, or snow peas but there certainly wasn't any of them. Vegetables in stir fry should be a bit crunchy but the cubes of carrots were barely cooked. The small chunks of squash were overcooked. The few cashews were soft and even mushy. At least the pieces of chicken was better than the beef and shrimp. The beef certainly was "chewy". We and our guests ended up using soup spoons instead of chop sticks. If China Rose is going to use frozen bagged vegetables, at least use the ones labeled "oriental". I realized that what passes for Chinese food in the U.S. isn't necessarily authentic but at least sell what people have come to expect. Oh, I forgot the Spring Rolls which where unlike any we've ever had. Instead of being wrapped in translucent rice paper like every other spring roll we've had, they were wrapped and cooked as if they were egg rolls. I certainly won't give this restaurant another chance. Attached is a photo of the bizarrely chopped Cashew Celery, aka Cashew Chicken. read more

China Rose - China Rose Cashew Chicken which should have been called Cashew Celery - Chinese Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Usually I order a variety of Chinese dishes because I love them all. But the 1st time ordering from China Rose I got the combination fried rice. It came with chicken, beef, shrimp with carrots, pees and onions. The delivery order went smooth & it came hot and fresh. Was glad to see a good sized dish. The shrimp were huge! Enjoyed it very much and interested to try something else on their menu. read more

(9th review of 2021) We've been lookin all over for good Chinese food that's at least close to what's at home in Hawaii. Unfortunately no luck so far. I was sooo excited when I finally found this restaurant that had "Chow Mein"! Woohoo!!!.... NOT!!! I'll get to this later. Ok lemmie start from the beginning when wifey & I first walked in the restaurant. *bing* the entry door chime goes off. Ohh that was cute chime we both thought. Walk around to the inside where the front counter was.... "We only do take out!". Huhh?? What?? We look around kinda stunned by the abruptness in the voice. The young lady behind the counter & plastic sheet hanging from the ceiling yells at least 2 more times "We only do take out, no dine in!". Uhhh ok, we were gonna do that anyways. Wifey & I looked at each other & were thinkin the same thing... wow! no hi welcome. Lookin over the take out menu I saw they had Chow Mein! Yeeessss!!! I finally found a Chinese restaurant up here that had it! I told the lady that I wanted the veggie Chow Mein. She said "uhh you know it's not the noodle dish". I said what?? She cut me off & said a little firmer voice, "it's not the noodle dish, there's no noodles. only have the veggies stir fried". Ok, then why don't you call it stir fried noodles instead of chow mein?? The definition of chow mein is "stir fried noodles" with meat/seafood & veggies. Seriously??? How can you call it that & serve it without noodles?? I grew up with making Chinese food & eating in Chinese restaurants that had chow mein & every single dish had "stir fried noodles" in it. Wow, ok well I ordered the $13.55 H5 Dragon & Phoenix, which was 1/2 General Tso's Chicken & 1/2 Hot and Spicy Shrimp. The lady said it comes with white rice... I thought ok good since I'm not getting any chow mein noodles. Wifey wanted the $12.95 H1 Happy Family, which was supposed to be jumbo shrimp, beer chicken, scallop crab meat, & mixed veggies w/ house-made brown sauce. She also got the $6.55 6pc Crab Rangoons cause she never had it before & wanted to try it. They don't have brown rice, wifey asked. The lady said they only have white rice & fried rice. She kept asking if we want fried rice, but we both said no thanks. By the way, all the descriptions of the dishes came from Uber Eats. China Rose's menus do not have descriptions, which is a little surprising. They do have some pictures in their menu & on their walls of what I guess are their popular dishes. While we were waiting we watched the cooks at work (kitchen was open to see) wifey & I noticed that out of all 3-4 cooks/helper the older guy who was a cook, was wearing his mask on his chin & not covering his mouth or nose. Uhh ok, I'm not too keen about that. After about 15min wait we got our food & left. When we finally sat down to eat, which was about 1hr later, the food was still kinda hot. I thought "oh yippie!". I was digging into my Dragon & Phoenix & found the General Tso's Chicken to be dry & chewy. There was a lot of sauce & batter on the chicken. It was supposed to be spicy, but there wasn't any heat to it. Ehh wasn't thrilled about that part of the dish. Ok, try the Hot & Spicy Shrimp. First thing I saw was the frozen peas inside, not snow peas or snap peas, but regular round peas. The way I could tell it was frozen was that there were what looked like freezer burns on most of the peas. Hmmm, ok. I don't like peas so I scraped all the peas to the side to get to the shrimp. I don't remember seeing regular peas in a shrimp dish before. The shrimp looked fat & I was thinkin "wow, they're big!". Hahahaha... NOT! There was more batter on the shrimp than actual shrimp. Wow! I was so hungry & really hate wasting food, so I tried forcing myself to eat the chicken/shrimp dish. I had to stop cause I ate almost all the rice that came with it & I only ate a few chicken & shrimp. Both dishes were pretty salty & wasn't spicy whatsoever. Wifey opened her container & first thing she saw was BEEF in the Happy Family dish. Ummm, Uber Eats didn't say anything about beef being in the dish. Wifey can't have beef/pork. She was so hungry too that she pulled the 10pcs of beef out of the dish & started eating the 4pcs shrimp, a few pcs imitation crab, & the veggies. She wouldn't eat it all cause it was salty & couldn't get past the idea that they put beef inside. She tried the Crab Rangoons & said it was bland with jus the cream cheese & imitation crab. There was no seasoning in the mix. I tried one & agreed with her. The sauce that came with it kinda looked like sweet & sour sauce. I tried it & it was bland too & tasted like only the sweet part of the sweet sour sauce. Out of everything we had we threw away all the food except for the remaining white rice & fortune cookies. I've never seen mini fortune cookies, they were cute & tasted ok. Hey, if you like this place more for you. Wifey & I won't be going back. My search continues. A Hui Hou!! read more

I give the price 5 stars and the food 4. I was there at lunch the other day. For under $10 you get either an egg roll or crab rangoon, an entree, and your choice of soup. The egg roll was very good. The hot and sour soup was good but generic. I got #26, some type of spicy shrimp. The veggies were fresh, hot and thank goodness - not overcooked. The meal gets 4 stars because it was advertised as spicy but it wasn't at all. Amazing deal for lunch, will be back again. read more

It was my first time trying China Rose recently and I loved it! I dined in and everything was delicious from the egg drop soup to the combination lo mein lunch special. As I dined in with my mom, we definitely noticed how other people also joined to dine in and several people arrived for pickup. This is a popular place with great prices and even better quality. Will be visiting again soon!! It's my new favorite Chinese place. read more

Didn't feel like cooking tonight so made our first order to China Rose. We are vegan so was looking for some place that didn't have fish sauce in everything. They made a generous order of General Tso's tofu. It was delicious and was served with some broccoli. We also had vegetable rolls and they were excellent. Will definitely be in our regulars list now. read more

Here's how today's interaction went... 1) walk in greeted server, asked if table was available 2) bickering between two workers happens 3) i leave Never during this interaction was any word spoken to me. Therefore, dueces! I'm out! I'll never understand-How do businesses continue to operate like this? In case you didn't know: 0 stars read more

Get the salt and pepper tofu!!!! So good. Highly recommend. Two meals worth of food and absolutely delicious.

If you will notice, I have reviewed and checked into China Rose a handful of times... I absolutely love this place. I rave about it to my friends and probably go once a week. Their lunch specials are what have me hooked - you pick an entree, a soup and a crab rangoon/egg roll for roughly $7. They have so many options, it's insane!! They have dinner specials too but they are a little more $$ (still totally worth it). I have also called ahead to order and pick up, and the food is always piping hot by the time I get it home. China Rose is my literal go to when it comes to Chinese Food. The staff is always friendly and they are so efficient. You can tell they're working their butts of in the kitchen. I go on my lunch breaks and the whole trip takes 30-45 minutes. Still a fan and always will be! read more

We discovered China Rose because one of our church family brought a catered combination rice to our Thanksgiving dinner at the church. It was one of the best Chinese rice I had ever had. She said she asked for more egg and extra vegetables. Really Delicious. Since then we came and had the lunch special. Great portion and fresh and hot food. We have also come during dinner and had combination lo main and my husband had beef lo mein. Very good and good portion. Their egg rolls are so delicious. I love the flavor. read more

Was in town for the weekend, wanted Chinese food. Got on Yelp placed the order and went in to pick up my food. When I got there the cashier acted as if the order had never been placed and took my order a second time. After waiting she informed me that I'd have to pay a second time. I informed her that I had already paid using cash app and showed her my receipt. She claimed that they no longer used that particular app and that I would have to get a refund from them directly. I then paid for my food a 2nd time, she then called another person who was in the back, that person came out and told the first woman that although they no longer use that company the order did in fact come through and that the food was ready. She refunded me the 2nd payment that I had made for $38.68, however the company that Yelp used charged me $49.15. The food was decent, however the $10 service charge for picking up my own food, didn't sit well with me! Based on my experience, one star is the best I can give this restaurant! read more

Been going here for years but may think twice before returning. The prices keep going up (same as every place) and the size of the food keeps going down. Quality is and has always been high quality. BUT - DO NOT pay the $1 up charge for fried rice instead of white rice. All they did was throw some soy sauce in the plain white rice and sorta mix it up. Big clumps of white rice. No egg. No peas and carrots. Disappointing considering there was an up charge. read more

I had really high hopes for China Rose when I heard OP was getting a new Chinese restaurant. Went by to grab dinner on a Tuesday. Not very crowded, only two other booths taken. Several takeout orders being picked up while we dined. The restraunt overall was on the smaller side, but clean with friendly staff. We ordered soup which was brought right out. I'm a huge fan of egg drop soup any chance I get. This time I was not wowed. It was extremely thick and very bland. I would be hesitant to order it again. When our dinner finally came out my husband received his plate a solid ten minutes before mine came out. I ordered the dinner portion of the Orange chicken with fried rice. The orange sauce was great and included actual orange peels but not as spicy as I usually like. The chicken itself was rather tuff with a few pieces of awkwardly cold broccoli pieces mixed in. The fried rice was basically rice doused in soy sauce, I'd avoid it if I come back again. My husband had the cashew chicken which tasted better but lacked in the flavor department. Good price point, but the food definitely needs some work. read more

China Rose - Dinner portion of orange chicken with fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Sometimes it is hard to review a restaurant during these Covid-y times. Right now China Rose is doing carry-out only. Part of the experience for me is a hot cup of tea and I really wanted to try a bunch of appetizers. Instead, we ordered a couple dinners which come with both a crab Rangoon and egg roll...both tasty. I was jealous of my husband's orange chicken which was crispy and delicious. However, my king pao chicken was flavorful with lots of celery and peanuts.A solid restaurant. read more

Good food at a fair price. We are always pleased when we eat here. Would definitely recommend.

China Rose is my go-to for when that Americanized Chinese food craving hits. While I have never dined in, I can attest that the employees that take my order are very polite. Why is China Rose my go-to? Well, they actually answer their phone when I call to place an order, and their food is up to my standards. Growing up in Americanized Chinese restaurants, I can say that their food is the closest to how I like it. My way to tell if an Americanized Chinese restaurant is legit is through their chicken fried rice and crab rangoon. I will never understand why savory crab rangoons are a thing - sweet is the way to go. Your life will be changed when you've had one. China Rose's crab rangoons are just a tad too sweet, but still pretty damn good. Their chicken in their fried rice is always tender, and their rice is not mushy. I hate when you get tough, dried out chicken and mushy rice at other places. This place knows how to do their basics. The one thing that I cannot recommend here are their meat wontons. I found them to be flavorless and just not at all good. My main gripe is that their prices are a bit more expensive than I like to pay, but still fairly competitive for the area. I'll definitely keep coming around for that Americanized Chinese food fix while I'm in the area. Overall: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 read more

I don't typically write reviews unless something is very GOOD or very BAD. I fear this place will be dangerous for me, as it is just around the corner from my house and so so delicious. I called in a take-out order for lunch, the man who answered the phone was very nice and pleasant. I've noticed that pretty much anywhere you call in an order around lunch time that they seem to rush you, not the case here. Of course, this may change as they get busier but I hope not; was a nice change! I ordered the cashew chicken and it was amazing, full of flavor! For just over $6 with tax, the portion size was very generous. Will definitely be returning! read more

China Rose - Lunch Portion Cashew Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Exactly what you would expect from a cheap Chinese food spot. Being from Springfield, MO I'm pretty picky about my Chinese food. Price down there doesn't effect quality so I've been searching for good, cheap, quality take out for a while. Once this place opened and it was only a five minute drive away I had to try it. We also got a menu in our mailbox so it was a sign to give it a shot. Both times I've eaten there have been take-out. The food is always hot, the guy that took my order on the phone is kind of a jerk. The way I judge a Chinese place? Their Crab Rangoon. Theirs is mediocre. A good amount of filling but nothing spectacular. The General Taos Chicken has a good spice and their Lo Mien isn't greasy with the usual filler veggies. Meat portions are great. Breading on the chicken is pretty soggy. Overall a 3 - it's solid but it has some flaws. I think I'm just spoiled coming from the city that invented Cashew Chicken... read more

China Rose - Szechuan Chicken lunch special, also includes a soup. - Chinese Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Excellent food and fast service, would recommend. Nice people and knew what we were wanting.

Went in with 4 others for dinner and it was a good deal. The food was really good. Two of us had beef/broccoli, the others had sesame chicken, schezuan chicken, and chicken with vegetables. Everyone loved their meal. All the veggies were fresh and meat was good. Now, the Dinner Combo was the deal! It was $7.50 and that got the meal (meat with rice choice) and not one, but TWO egg rolls or TWO crab rangoons! That extra egg roll was a big plus for me. Service was good. Pretty quick and friendly. The minor knocks was that they wouldn't split the rice (half fried and half steamed) for one of our orders. No biggie. The big knock for me was they had the TV on the news. I don't want anything on (except maybe sports) TV when I'm eating dinner. And this was showing some shot up bloody guy over and over. But that seems to be the thing in Chinese restaurants now, show the news. The place is small (7 booths and 3 small tables). No big deal unless they're busy which they might be in the near future. They do carry out as well. Several people came and went. I'll certainly go back again. read more

The chicken and vegetables lunch was reasonably priced at $5.95 and was brought to my table in just eight minutes. The fried rice was tasty, the egg roll was very good, and the crab Rangoon was creamy, crunchy, and delicious, but the entrée was doused in soy sauce. The service was pleasant, and the dining area was clean but Spartan, with background sound coming from the TV. Overall, A-OK. read more

I read mainly good reviews on China Rose and a few bad ones. I decided to give it a try. Most strip mall Chinese restaurants I've tried in KC Metro are just average at best. This place surprised me in a very good way. We ordered two dinner combos: Kung Pao Chicken and Moo Goo Gai Pan. They were both excellent. We each had two egg rolls instead of the crab rangoon, as my son is allergic to crab. The egg rolls were just right. Most places serve egg rolls too greasy. These were cooked nearly to perfection. I have to remember that this is a strip mall restaurant and not a fancy sit down one. Considering that, I gave it five stars, compared to other strip mall restaurants in KC. I'll definitely return. It was a great value without the fancy ambiance and fancy prices. read more

A solid place for your typical affordable Chinese food. We were the only people dining in, but there were at least 8 individuals who stopped in to pick up their take out, so it must be popular! We were pleased with the crab rangoon, so good. The egg drop soup was okay! Huge portions of fried rice and it was delicious. An important note - loooooots of tofu options for you vegetarians out there! I'm sure we will be back again soon. read more

I am pretty picky about Chinese takeout, not because I am Chinese, but because I'm a picky eater and get weirded out easily. This food is sooo good. I've gotten a few different types of chicken and it's always been good quality, all white meat. Their plain lo mein and spring rolls are also great! Very nice people and decent prices. I moved to Mission and I still make the trip for this food. And if you don't want to drive, they're on Doordash! read more

Small dining area allows for staff to be efficient & quick. I ordered the Singapore Mein Fun - it was a good size portion for 8.95 & made fresh. It was suppose to be spicy (marking on menu) but it wasn't. It was a little bland but had quite a few pieces of beef, chicken & shrimp. I put some siracha on my leftovers which made it quite a bit better. My daughter order the Orange chicken dinner for 7.50. It is a great deal - an egg roll, crab Rangoon , rice, & chicken. Her food was made fresh & was hot - chicken has a good tangy flavor & rice was well seasoned. Definitely going to go for another visit but just need to ask for siracha for back up spiciness read more
