    Kung Bo Chicken and orange chicken

    Great service, pretty speedy, generous portions. Tastes about the quality of a decent mall food court which is enough to hit the spot. Orange chicken is better if ur only going to get one

    Steamed Dumplings

    Really good Chinese takeout! My girlfriend picked us up a variety of items for a girls night in and we really enjoyed the food. We ordered Happy Family with rice, spring rolls, egg rolls and steamed dumplings. The dumplings were definitely my favorite, so good and the perfect texture; the dipping sauce was super flavorful...really fantastic(I also dipped my spring roll in it...yum)! The egg rolls & spring rolls were tasty and nicely cooked; the meat & veggies in the Happy Family was good. We are almost everything and we would definitely order takeout again very soon! Thank you!

    Peking Chicken ($5.75) lunch combo with Chicken Fried Rice & Pork Egg Roll - huge portion, pretty good flavor.

    This is a tiny, takeout only place with a very big menu - seriously the menu is " XXL ". The portion are huge, the prices are more than reasonable, the food is your typical Americanized-Chinese fare, and the service is very good. I've only tried the Crispy Scallion Chicken and the Peking Chicken (both lunch combo's), but both were pretty good - a few too many extraneous vegetables, but still good. The Egg Roll is also nice, not at all greasy. The fried rice that comes with the their lunch and dinner combs is Chicken Fried Rice, and I just don;t care for the chicken in it - thin & dry. Not a bad choice for decent food, nice portion, good service, and reasonable prices. I'll be back.

    Finally!!! I found a good quick Chinese takeout spot somewhat close to where I live. I don't want to have to get on the highway to go somewhere like Golden Wok to get takeout Chinese food. Luckily that doesn't have to happen anymore. I went here for lunch and was ready to eat. I ordered the crispy scallion chicken. The lunch comes with rice and an egg roll. It was very good. The flavor of the sauce was very tasty. Chicken was cooked perfect and the egg roll was good as well. They give you a pretty big portion considering it was lunch. I was very satisfied with this place and will give them my business again.

    Haven't the slightest clue what it is!

    No longer my go to spot. Honestly off the list. I saw and experienced too many wrong things to want to go back for a while. Called in my order(8:38) and was told 15 minutes. Arrived to pick up my food at 9. Food wasn't ready, but didn't acknowledge the fact it hadn't even started. Finally got an order at 9:15 and something said check it to make sure. Didn't check it inside because there was a customer with some type of respiratory issue from the way he coughed. Even thou he was in and out checking on his order, wasn't taking any chances. The order was wrong. No where close to mines. Advised even thou the order number was right, I didn't order shrimp. Finally left with the correct order at 9:30. Saw the person taking order literally take the food I returned with and put it back on the counter after I told him I upped both meals up outside. Major health violation. I ordered 2 orange flavored chicken combinations. At least 6 people waiting over 30-45 minutes getting the wrong orders. Once I finally got the right order, the tasted off. Flavor was good and pork fried rice was really off, not too mention over cooked hard pieces. As pictured I found this piece of whatever. Glad I didn't bite down on this. It's just the way it looks, solid and hard. Take your chances if you like.

    This was my first time ordering from this establishment as my go to is Golden Wok on Bridford Parkway. My family & and I will not be ordering from here again as my experience here with both food and customer service was unsatisfactory. For reference, The fried chicken was overcooked and salty. The chicken chow mien was not in fact chow mien (we received no noodles and the online menu was not user friendly when it came to making specifications. The meal also had large chunks of unsliced onion & pieces of celery and the fried rice was not properly cooked and with visible grains of plain white rice mixed in. I called to explain dissatisfaction and was denied my request of a partial credit as a solution and was instead offered a store credit, which is something I would not use due to the quality and taste of this order.

    Just what the doctor ordered....a whooping bowl of hot and sour soup!

The place was slammed, packed in like sardines on a Saturday evening. Everyone waiting for orders, and even if you don't order prior, the wait would still be worth it. This place was a well oiled machine, everyone knowing exactly what to do and how to pump out stellar authentic Chinese food quickly and efficiently. Flavorful dishes, authentic spices and sauces, juicy meat, perfectly cooked noodles and rice...you name it, this place does it right. Crispy scallion chicken is the bomb! Each and every other dish we had was top notch, including the pork egg foo young, chicken lo mein, house special fried rice (chicken pork and shrimp). And can't leave out the perfectly fried pork egg rolls...taste overload. Can't wait to come back and try more of this amazing and truly authentic Chinese joint.

Not sure how old the interior photos are on their Yelp reviews but looks better in person. Dude running the place was waiting on tables, answering the phones, taking orders at the front, bossing people around in the back and bringing the food out of the kitchen and serving it HOT! He was a one man show today and killing it! Plus he was so nice. About the food. I ordered an Eggroll and Curry Chicken with fried rice. The eggroll was not the best I've had but it was good. It tasted fresh and no signs of the red pork that you sometimes get (thumbs up).The Curry Chicken sauce was really good. The chicken was nice and tender, the vegetables were fresh and crisp. My only complaint would be to not serve green peppers with the yellow curry sauce. It's my own personal preference because peppers give me heartburn. I will go back for sure to try some other dishes and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for relaxing ambiance and fresh, delicious Chinese cuisine.

We didn't order them this time, but they're definitely on the list for a future visit. Everything we did get was packed with flavor. The crab rangoons and pork dumplings arrived hot and fresh, and the Dan Dan noodles, orange chicken, chicken chow fun, and garlic beef were all very tasty. One of the biggest positives here is consistency of flavor, something that's been surprisingly hard to find with a lot of Chinese takeout spots we've tried in the area. The only real miss for us is that egg foo young isn't on the menu, which my wife loves and always hopes to find. That aside, this is a super solid takeout option for flavorful, authentic, and fresh Chinese food.

Because it is a takeout restaurant, there we won't benches to sit on. That does not bother me because I wanted to relax at home while I eat. Everything I've ever ordered from them has been fantastic! On this trip, I decided to try something new. I order the Happy Family (Lobster; scallops,shrimp,crabmeat,beef: chicken,pork tender,broccoli mushroom, baby cor, veg. in special sauce; w.White Rice) but paid an upcharge to change the rice to onion fried rice w/ egg and bean sprouts. I did not regret it. The dish was very flavorful and the rice offered the perfect flavor and texture balance. I will definitely be ordering it again!

Let me be clear for those who think that this is New York Chinese cuisine. It most certainly is not. If you want your standard fair good authentic Chinese cuisine, go to Golden Dragon. That restaurant is closed because I believe the family goes on vacation for about a month a year. They will reopen on July 21, 2026 Good for them. They work hard and they give their customers quality service. Golden Dragon has been around for decades and has always given its customers great food and service. Since Golden Dragon was closed, I decided to decided to try China's Best yesterday to order a family meal. I did it online to avoid any confusion on what we wanted. And was told that there would be a 15 minute wait. Lo and behold, we get there and we wait an additional 20 minutes. When we come home to eat the meal, virtually, nothing is edible with the exception of premade egg rolls and the orange chicken. The pork fried rice we ordered was substandard. I have never had boneless barbecue ribs that were so overly salty and sweet in my life; not to mention being overcooked and having a slightly burnt taste. The fried chicken wings were overcooked and hard. The sweet-and-sour chicken ordered was overcooked and hard; with only a half container of sweet-and-sour sauce included. There was no soy sauce or duck sauce included with the meal whereas usually Chinese restaurants put those condiments out for customers to get at their discretion. I don't know about you, but I like money. So when I pay $56 for a takeout order which I paid gas for to travel to get; only to find that it was an unacceptable mess of a meal, I tend to to appear, to say the least, disappointed. Whoever cooked this meal saw what they were giving their customer and appeared to be completely fine with short changing that customer. Unacceptable! There are plenty of restaurants in Greensboro to go to who strive to give their patrons a quality meal. So I give the biggest word of caution to those entertaining the idea of going to China's Best. DON'T GO!

    I'll be honest--I avoided China Cafe for a while because of the older Yelp reviews. But last night…read moreI needed something quick, ordered on DoorDash, and I'm really glad I gave them a chance. Everything I ordered was actually solid. The lo mein? Chef's kiss. The noodles were cooked perfectly, nice and saucy, and they even offered it spicy--which I've never been offered before. The meat was tender and well-seasoned. Personally, I wouldn't mind a little more cabbage in it, but that's just preference. The fried chicken wings really surprised me. Usually I end up throwing wings in the air fryer to crisp them up more--but not these. They were already crispy, fresh, and flavorful straight out the container. Now let me talk about the sweet and sour chicken... I've NEVER been a fan. I always thought it looked too breaded and soggy, so I avoided it for years. When I opened my order and realized that's what I got, I was low-key annoyed but decided to try it anyway. And wow--that ended up being my favorite item. The sauce was perfect, and once I dipped it myself, it completely changed my mind about sweet and sour chicken. The soup was also really good--super flavorful with that rich broth and those sesame oil "gold spots" on top (you know it's good when you see that). The only thing I wasn't big on was the plain fried rice--but that's more of a personal preference since I usually don't go for plain fried rice anyway. Next time I'll try the house fried rice. Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised. This was a great experience, especially for a last-minute order. I'll definitely be ordering again--and next time I'll come back with pictures because this was a spur-of-the-moment decision. China Cafe, you proved me wrong
