Good, grab and go Chinese. Solid food but nothing life changing. They do what they do well and if you are in the area and wanting a takeout Chinese food then this is a good stop. Portions are generous and the staff is nice. read more

China Saute - cars parked in a parking lot - Chinese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Came in on a Wednesday. Expecting it to be slow of course but it was absolutely DEAD. Not a bad thing. It was super quiet and you can't see the kitchen at all not even a window on the door which made me kinda nervous . The lady at the front desk was cool and straight to the point. Food came out super hot in 10 minutes as promised. I got the sesame chicken that was a nice hefty portion, and came with a small side of fried rice. Overall the food was good, however very average. Just what you would expect from your local Chinese spot. If you're in the mood for some quick Chinese food I'd say this is worth it. read more

China Saute - Fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

See all

I got this delivered so cannot speak to the staff and physical location unfortunately. I ordered the general tso's lunch special with crab Rangoon and wonton soup. In short, I was pretty underwhelmed. The fried rice had no veggies, the wonton soup had no flavor, and the crab rangoons were a bit soggy. What I did enjoy was the general tso's chicken, it packed quite a kick and was full of flavor. read more

The wings are so good! I lovely honey chicken and beef and broccoli the best here! Highly recommend and service is top notch-I don't stay here to eat always "to go" since it is just a few minutes down the road and can bring the food for my family- read more

Terrible food. Don't go. Worst Chinese food I have ever had in 55 years. The cook and the ingredients are very poor quality.

We placed a to-go order today for sesame chicken. It was VERY disappointing. I believe the chicken was old, as in it was cooked earlier and maybe had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours and hours because I couldn't even chew most of it, particularly the smaller pieces and the edges of the larger pieces. Those pieces were hard and stringy. The only edible pieces were the middles of the larger pieces. This was a big waste of money as a good portion of my food ended up in my napkin. The positive is that the customer service is great, but I was really bothered by the food quality. Maybe today was a bad day OR maybe it's better to order earlier because n the day just to be safe ( although it really shouldn't matter. ) The taste of the edible pieces were fine, but it can only give this one star due to a large quantity of food being inedible. read more

I've been eating here for 15-20 years. Same family working and serving. Food has always been consistently excellent. I was surprised to see so many 1 and 2 star ratings? That's okay. They'll do just fine without your business. Not just the best Asian food in East CLT, but one of the best in this cesspool of a city. read more

Handwritten menus- It's freezing in there and they walking around in coats... no heat so if you wanted to sit and eat you will be cold. Rice was good but chicken was not-3 pieces cute in half to make you think you had 6 pieces of chicken Not worth the money and staff not the most pleasant. I had to ask for a fork Had to ask for extra soy sauce and had to give the three duck sauce back to get three soy sauce Not going again! read more

Been going to China Saute since they were down on Park Road where Sal's is now. The seafood lo-mein is excellent, and the staff are great!

My family and I have been going to China Sauté since 2002 when they use to be on Park Road and still go to their location on Albemerne Road. I don't go as much as I use to, but we ate there tonight and the food is still as good as ever. Thank you for your wonderful service and food for the past 21 years we've been coming. read more

This is the best food on the east side of Charlotte. I literally drive all the way from Huntersville area just to get this food

The food is always delicious. I generally stick with chicken and broccoli or sesame chicken. I love the teriyaki sticks. The lady there is always nice and friendly. I like the chicken bc it's cut thin and there's never any fatty surprises. read more

Good food and service for a reasonable price. The wings are excellent. Have eaten in the restaurant a few times. They also offer delivery and the food is still hot. read more

When my normal cheap Chinese place failed me tonight (how can a Chinese joint be closed on Sundays - Lai Lai Express?!), I had to find a nearby replacement. Thanks to Yelp mobile search, this is my closest alternative, and with pure faith I headed over to China Saute and hoped for the best as I was determined to satisfy my Cheap Chinese craving and to get my friend her much needed dinner. I have driven by China Saute many times, always looks empty. The eat in area is quite huge for a mainly to-go place. I can only imagine dining in during lunch for convenience... there's not any decor to speak with. I am guessing it's a family business with parents in the kitchen, younger daughter at the counter taking orders, older daughter being the delivery person and a young boy who tags along with older sister when not playing with his scooter at the restaurant or asking patrons random questions (ex. What's my favorite wild animal?). I didn't mind any of the informalities as a to-go restaurant but it's not good for dine in experience. The menu offers the standard; prices are average. $4.85 for 6 wings, or $5 for 6 dumplings look a little higher than my normal joint. I asked the young girl who took my order about their Five Flavors Beef which was one of the dinner combo, she wasn't a talkative type, so I went with Sa Cha Chicken to be safe ($8.25 and it comes with fried rice, egg roll, a chicken wing and soup of choice). I also had a large order of Beef Lo Mein ($6.75, vs the small order which is $5.25) and a sweet tea for a total of just under $18. The wait was longer than what I'm used to, about 25 minutes. That's when I realize they have quite a bit of delivery business. By the time my order was ready, I was impressed by the sheer size of the brown bag that was holding my food. VERDICT: The food smells good, looks solid and of great quantity. I was impressed by my Sa Cha Chicken; it was more a dry saute and not covered in sauce, which is more Sa Cha like than any other places I could recall. Just enough heat (aka spicy), not overloaded by random veggies (I HATE uncooked carrots taking up all the room, and there was barely any), good flavor overall. The lo mein met expectation, tons of noodles, can use a little more meat. The one wing that came with the combo was good, but can't say the same about the spring roll... the filling had an odd flavor I couldn't figure out. The hot & sour soup was ok, very liquid-y and doesn't have much substance. Sweet tea was a good balance of sweet and tea. CONCLUSION: for a last minute substitute, I was impressed. And as you can expect from a legit cheap Chinese place, I think I just consumed an illegal amount of MSG, but they have low/no sodium/oil option... but then why bother to have cheap Chinese if you are skipping the 2 things that define it. SUGGESTION: Order ahead and pick up. Drink lots of water afterward. read more

So, fighting a little cold, I wanted wonton soup & my go-to craving when I don't feel like cooking and want Chinese delivery. After passing China Sauté the other day, I was excited to see they delivery, with only a $12.00 minimum. So, I ordered a spring roll, wonton soup, chicken fried rice, and beef with broccoli. I was quoted 40 minutes and they were here w/in 35, and everything was warm! The egg roll & soup were great and hit the spot. The fried rice was ok, I was looking for a little more egg& veggies and there were definitely a few shady pieces of chicken. The beef with broccoli was great, fresh broccoli in a nice brown sauce, although I wish there was a little more. Strange, but I love pouring the sauce over my rice. Overall, everything was ok & I will definitely order from them again. read more

Should really be 3.5 stars, but we'll round up bc I was surprisingly impressed. Unlike my last Chinese takeout adventure, I checked out the reviews on Yelp! before picking a spot to fix my Chinese food craving. While the reviews were at both ends of the extreme, I thought there was enough upside that it was worth the risk... and I was rewarded. What I really liked about this place is that they have captured the essence of Chinese takeout. While I didn't think that anything here knocked my socks off, it did meet expectations. Shrimp w/mixed vegetables was tasty and still had texture. Shrimps weren't rubbery and the flavoring was not too salty, which I can appreciate. The hot and sour soup is kicking with the right flavors and the viscosity is perfect (see other Chinese place that messed up this soup). Missed out on 4/5 stars because the delivery was pretty slow--try 1.5 hours. I gave them a slight pass, I had the heads up that the delivery would take a bit over a hour. While this is generally not acceptable, they were in a bind. Shrug. It was a lot of food for two--a dinner special, small side, and soup is more than enough for both people to get their fill. I'll probably be ordering from this place when I have a craving for some good ol' Chinese takeout food. dmo out. read more

Hidden Treasure ! I have had almost every item on the menue and it is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Dilworth area. We usually order take-out but dining-in is a treat for me at lunch. Wonderful family owned and operated business who everyone needs to get to know. Don't be put off by the storefront nor the sparce dining room because THE FOOD and the owners are the greatest. "Mr. White Rice". read more

My boyfrined loves this place. We always order by phone and pick up. Its pretty inexpensive.The service is always great. The only thing is if you order on a Friday night, order an hr or 1hr 1/2 in advance.... they get really busy, so it takes a while... read more

This food was nasty the chicken wasn't cooked well the rice was mixed with soy sauce looking like it was fried rice they cused me out in there language and the tea was nasty it tasted like plastic worst fucking place ever wouldn't recommend this place read more

Trust your gut or your gut will let you know you've made a mistake. I walked in and there was no one inside, the place looked filthy and no one was at the counter. I walked back out but because of the convenience, my craving for Chinese, and the ability to run a few nearby errands while waiting, I went back in. I was finally greeted and made my order. There isn't much more to say. I've had better sesame chicken at Panda Express. I didn't get food poisoning but I was feeling ill afterwards. Some people work out or do yoga the morning after hard night of partying to sweat out the toxins. I was up at 5:15 for a 5-mile run to unload this experience. read more

Love this place! Clean, food great, people's work there are polite and respect! Can't beat that.. thank you for your great service.

If you are in the mood for bland room-temperature delivery that takes 2 hours to get to you, this is definitely the place for you! All that and the delivery lady yells at you trying to tell you that she is in front of your house when she isn't even close. Yup, this place is pretty much the worst place on earth. read more

Best Chinese food around! I feel bad for the couple of people who had an off-putting experience - don't let that deter you from this place. It's family run and operated; the kids all chip in and help. They were a life-saver when I was sick - they delivered hot, steaming food within 20 minutes of ordering several days in a row. The flavors are spot on. Waaay better than the other Chinese restaurants in the area. Fresh, quality ingredients. This is GOOD, honest, fairly priced, delicious food. read more

The Not Yet Famous China Saute of Dilworth! Don't let the appearance of this place fool you - Hands down, the best Chinese I have found in Charlotte after moving here two years ago. What a journey it has been to find decent Chinese down here! read more

My favorite Chinese food delivery in Charlotte! The are quick and the food is amazing. I have tried several things from here and they are all good! Not to mention, it's cheap! I love this place! If you're looking to have food delivered this is somewhere you should consider. read more

Terrible. The Hunan chicken and the general tso's were the worst I've ever had

The food is okay, there is better and less expensive Chinese food out there. I did a carry-out order and was appalled when I walked in and it smelled like garbage. There were three children working behind the counter handling the phones and taking my order and it was really hot inside, which made me question the quality of the food, we didn't get sick, but I doubt I'll go back. read more

CLOSED! The quality of their food is WONDERFUL! My family and I have been going here for several years. Great family ran operation. Authentic Chinese fast food. Whenever I have the choice of some "high-end" chain chinese restaurant, I always choose China Saute (and a picnic in the park) instead. Good Food! read more

The food is okay it depends on the day, no stability at all whatsoever. Next, these people deliver when they want. My home is 4 minutes away from the location and I can never be guaranteed if they will deliver that day or not. Either you deliver... or you don't. Lastly, the teenager answering the phone should know this is a business. Therefore, speak to customers as such, we are not friends or homies, so don't answer the phone or questions with an attitude or lack of customer respect. This place just needs to do better. read more

This is a great Dilworth neighborhood Chinese place. This is mostly a takeout place, but there are a couple of tables for dining in. Great food, good prices, and the family that runs the place are wonderful. Give them a try!! read more

We love this place! Best Chinese on the eastside of CLT. I even order things (i.e. combinations of meat, veggies and sauce) not on the menu and they make it for me, no extra charge! Never had a bad experience here, ever. read more

Great food, decent prices, the family that runs this restaurant are very friendly and kind. Delivery is quick and the food is always hot and fresh and made to order. For quick take-out/delivery Chinese food this place cannot be beat. read more

OMG! So I call this restaurant for delivery and they pick up and hang up...Ordinarily I would say it was an accident but after the 5th call and they hung up, of course I just kept doing it until i got a fast busy....awful read more

I asked for fried rice, and she said do you want onions and egg in the fried rice, I said yes when I got home there was just rice no egg and no onions. I called up the establishment and she finally said after saying there's a little in there, which there was not. And she kept saying multiple times that just a little was in there, she said bring the food back, and I hung up the phone, because it would've taken me 45 minutes in traffic to get back. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but I felt it was necessary to write one especially about this place. I had ordered delivery and the woman on the other line was extremely rude, rushing my order. When the food was delivered it was not hot it was very cold and distasteful. I will not be ordering from here ever again. read more

Have been there several times and find Fried rice and Lo Mein are pretty good. Service is good too.
