Pleasantly surprised with China King! The rice isn't as dark as i prefer, but, it was very very delicious even though it wasn't what I'm used to. The vegetable roll and pork egg roll were top tier , as were the steamed dumplings. The dough was a bit thicker than what I'm used to, but the filling in the dumpling and the sauce was so tasty! Also tried a ham St. Paul and it was just a yummy as the rest of the food. Put my order in through the website, but wasn't entirely sure if it went through. So, I went in shortly after i placed the order to confirm that it did submit properly and to pay. Expected to wait for at least 15-20 mins. Nope! Had my food in maybe 5 minutes max. Staff were very friendly. Thank you! I'll be back soon!

We were seated immediately, which we appreciated because we were tired and hungry. Since we already have our favorite dishes at Cate Zone, we knew exactly what to order as soon as our server came by. Our go‑to appetizer is always the beef tripe -- non‑spicy -- and it never disappoints. We always enjoy it with a bowl of rice, and the combination is incredibly comforting and flavorful. We also ordered the crisp shrimp with egg yolk, which is my 6‑year‑old son's absolute favorite. It's unbelievably tasty -- rich, crispy, and just out‑of‑this‑world good. For our last dish, we tried the crisp sautéed pork for the first time. This one didn't quite hit the mark for us. The flavor leaned sweet and salty with no spice, and it didn't have the same wow factor as the crisp shrimp we love so much. Still, it was worth trying something new. All our dishes came with a bowl of hot, steaming white rice, and everything arrived at our table in under 10 minutes -- their speed is impressive. The portions were generous, and we left completely full with leftovers to take home. Cate Zone continues to be one of our favorite spots, and experiences like this are exactly why we keep coming back.

Food -- excellent! I ordered the broccoli and beef with white rice and an egg roll. Some…read morerestaurants use cheaper or inferior ingredients, but not here! The beef was tender. As you can see in the photo, there were a decent number of pieces, and they were substantial. Broccoli was stir-fried perfectly, cooked with a slight crunch. The amount of sauce was suitable, enough to coat the food without being excessive. The sauce was not too thick, not runny, and not too salty. The rice was fine, and the portion was sufficient. The egg roll was crisp and not greasy. Food is served with a packet of sweet and sour sauce, a packet of soy sauce, and a packet of chili powder. Packaging -- food is served in a plastic bowl with a clear lid and placed a brown paper bag. Value -- excellent! The meal I ordered was a lunch special. You can choose: 1) one entree from 30 options 2) white or fried rice 3) 1 egg roll or 2 crab rangoon. The price for all of this is $8.75 before tax and tip. For $0.70 more, you can add hot and sour soup or egg drop soup. Or for $1 more you can add wonton soup. All this to say, you can get a great lunch for about $10. Service -- great! The owner is nice. The speed of service is outstanding. The time it takes to get your food is as fast -- or even faster--than at fast food restaurants. Ambiance -- good. Almost all customers will order for carryout, but you can eat in the restaurant if you want. There are 3 or 4 tables. There is a fridge, if you want to order soda. Everything is clean. If you are looking for fine dining or a date night, you might be disappointed. But otherwise, the interior is perfectly fine. I highly recommend Emperor China!

The lamb pieces used to be small but they are huge now! Appreciate the owners taking the feedback. I think they make the tofu in house. They are huge thick soft pieces with enough crispness on the outside. It's a good introduction to how seriously Chinese people take tofu and how in other countries they have a huge variety of tofu, vs the select few we have in the U.S. And I used to be partial to the spicy fried fish at cate zone, but chilispot has upgrade this dish a lot. It's perfectly crispy and hot!!! Even if you don't like fish, it's a great dish and also makes for great leftovers. I know the fried chicken is popular but I find the chicken pieces are too small. Even with two heavy eaters, we still have leftovers for another meal

Low Grade chewy chicken........Got a pretty big order for the family last night , wife worked late so I was on dinner duty and China star was on my short list due to its geographic advantage. Well I get a call from her today saying they forgot to put white rice in the bag for her general tso chicken so she just ate whatever was leftover from us. Everyone was asleep when she got home. So I called and told the manager and he refused to make it right since I didn't call last night, he kept saying it was odd and this and that basically saying I don't believe you. Well I've spent tons of money over the five years we've been here so I hope this 1 star rating will detour someone from your restaurant. We do not lack choices around here. Honestly the chicken is very low grade chewy chicken. This may have been a blessing in disguise. read more

Food OK. Nothing spectacular, nothing to complain about, e.g. food. Just visited twice for takeout. First time, the woman at the counter was most gracious. Second time, as the bearded male exited the kitchen with a bag, he snapped his fingers to get my attention, pointed to me as if to say this is yours, handed to me with no words and walked away. My view: Total disrespect for a patron. My opinion: NEVER AGAIN. read more
