They did have a gluten free menu and provide gluten free soy sauce. The beef and broccoli was fine, and the broccoli nice and crunchy. The honey walnut prawns were different than I've had at other Chinese restaurants (in the Bay Area). Puffier and crunchier with a lighter sweeter sauce. I didn't prefer it, but I think a lot of people might like their version. The customer service was friendly. I did not like the Szechuan chicken at all. The sauce was extremely tart, very high vinegar content, only had a slight spice. My favorite Chinese restaurant is Szechuan and I've never had anything like thIs dish at another restaurant. Two dishes we got (Szechuan and Chow fun) were drenched in sauce. They literally had twice as much as would be needed or desired. We had to move the sauce aside so the food wasn't way to strong. Also the sauce seemed overly goopy. Possibly it was more noticeable since they added too much sauce and I know most Chinese restaurants thicken their sauces as well. read more

If I could give negative starts I would. This used to be my favorite place around. We would go in or get take out at least four or five times a month. It was basically a food group in our house-especially the pot stickers, we would get 3 or more orders at a time and eat them for days. That is not the case anymore. Over the last several months it has been getting worse and worse, especially the pot stickers. They now have no meat, are made with way too much oil and leaves a slime inside. Today was the worst ever. Food was cold, dripping oil and pot stickers were pure mush inside. Out of the whole order I ate half of one. Seriously, I have had better pot stickers from the frozen section of the gas station. To say this place is no longer a food group in our house would be a major understatement. I wouldn't even bring the leftovers home to feed my dog. read more

Great food, service, and people there. Still open for carry out during all of this. My family and I have definitely been going there a lot more often lately. We are always met with kind words, awesome service, and the best food! read more

Food and service were great. The lunch special was huge and the presentation was beautiful.

If you haven't eaten at Grand China in placerville by McDonald's your missing out on delicious Chinese food. You must try the general chicken breaded and fried. It is amazing!!!!!! We have never had General chicken so darn delicious We highly recommend Grand China chinese food. Their food is fresh and made to order. They also are great with picky eaters. I had no idea you could order chicken chow mein with no vegetables???? It was awesome and my children enjoyed so much The food is great, well priced and tastes great the next day They also have a large party area and a friend had her 90th birthday party there. She was so pleased with everything. The food, the service, the price, she had nothing but good things to say about Grand China. We love it and we recommend it all the time. Please go in and see for yourself read more

We really enjoyed Grand China. The food came out piping hot and delicious. The Host and servers were on spot. Will definitely be back.

I rarely give 5 stars but thought I should let others know how good our experiences have been here. We need gluten free soy sauce and they always accommodate us. The dishes are served hot and in good size portions. Their ingredients have always been fresh and they don't scrimp on the meats and seafoods. The restaurant is clean and the parking is abundant compared to downtown restaurants. Give them a try. It's just 5 minutes from Main Street. read more

This is by far my favorite Chinese food spot. They are always so quick and the food is always really hot and delicious! If you're thinking about it, just do yourself a favor and go. read more

I've been going here since I was like 8 it's never been wrong it's always great and everyone is incredibly nice 10/10

Grand China has the kindest owners and staff! Great people, excellent food and service. I always recommend this restaurant.

I am utterly perplexed how this place is even open. The worst Chinese food I've had since Bel Air supermarkets (yes, I'd take Bel Air any day over this place!) I ordered two lunch specials for myself and my husband. He had the sesame chicken, I had the almond chicken. Both meals come with an egg roll and a choice between fried or steamed rice. Although my egg roll was the highlight of the meal, my husband said his tasted sour. We both had fried rice, which was devoid of flavor. The chicken in my almond chicken still had fat on it, every single piece I managed to get down my throat I was picking the fat off of, gross! The almond chicken has no sauce to speak of (you know how usually the Chinese style sauce is what makes the dish!) OMG I wouldn't pay $2 for the meal I spent $20 on (that included tip). Awful, awful, awful! read more

My husband and I love this place!!! Our first choice for Chinese takeout. Friendly service and excellent food!

This review is overdue. We held a surprise 80th birthday celebration at Grand China. The food was deliciously prepared & the banquet room was decorated festively. Our guests are still raving about how great everything was...the food, the service, the atmosphere! We're very grateful to Grand China, Vince & his entire staff for allowing us to create a memorable event. read more

Tried this for the first time and the whole family was delightfully surprised at how good the food is!

Just had a another great lunch at Grand ChIna. Everything was delicious and great service. Chicken chow mein and kung pao chicken! Yum!

Love this place! I'm a picky vegetarian and their sesame tofu lunch meal is so good and good priced! My friends love it here too & they love their lemon chicken / sweet & spicy! Employees are all so sweet! read more

Owner is very kind & grateful for your patronage, food is good. Lemon chicken is prepared differently, & looks nothing like the online menu photo. It is chunks of chicken deep fried in the same method that their other chicken dishes are prepared, & they provide lemon sauce to pour or dip the chicken into. Not what I expected from the photo, however we will still be back! read more

Some of the food we had was good, sesame chicken and the spicy eggplant, but the moo shu shrimp was a joke. It was simply chopped up cabbage with a few thin pieces of mushroom (no exaggeration) and a few more than a few tiny shrimp... for over $10 really? I feel ripped off by this dish and would never order it again. I would go back for the typical American/Chinese dishes or the ones they serve on their lunch menu and make every day. We also ordered the house chowmein which has all the meats and shrimp. Once again, only 2 shrimp! Otherwise it tasted decent. read more

Yes, another Chinese food review from me!! Ordered the Kung Pao Chicken Lunch special and was very impressed. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The restaurant was very clean and they had my order ready to go. The price is about average, maybe a tad high but worth it. I particularly liked the fact that they had an egg roll and fried cheese wonton as appetizers and even took the time to dip them in sweet and sour before they put them in the box. The fried rice was tasty and when I asked for hot mustard they gave me homemade "house mustard" rather than the little packets which makes a world of difference in my opinion. I'm always happy that a Chinese restaurant offers combo plates for both lunch and dinner. The only reason they got 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the freakin' fact that this is yet another Chinese place that won't give you soup on take out orders even though with Covid there are ONLY take out orders! No Soup for You! Recommended either way! read more

Best Chinese food I've ever had !!! Hot and fresh every time !! Clean and fast service! read more

Easily accessible location, quaint atmosphere, plenty of room for a large party. Most importantly, the staff was great... plenty of smiles and warm sentiment. The menu was more impressive than I'm used to seeing at similar restaurants, with much more variation in dishes and lots of choices. The spicy dishes, however, weren't particularly spicy. Perhaps the staff took the initiative to dull down the heat a bit so that my children could eat it also. But there was so little heat that my two year old had no complaints. I'm one that likes to quench fire with sake, perhaps I'll ask for a little more spark next time. read more

Food was great! Nothing extra special, but definitely fresh, quality ingredients. The cheese wontons were the best I've ever had, so that was a plus. The customer service was the best I have ever had. Highly recommend supporting this restaurant read more

good food. best honey walnut shrimp ever. friendly staff and owners. i'm glad i gave it a second chance.

The food came quickly and was good but I was disappointed in the Colonel Tso's chicken ; no flavor. I wouldn't have even written this review if we would have had a pleasant ending to our dining. The evening we ate there, they closed at 9PM. At 8:52 they said, " we close now!" Our food had been boxed and our bill paid with a rather generous tip and we were visiting as my son was finishing his libation ( beer ). We were literally kicked out! I pointed out the time and a woman said, " okay, five min. more". We were the last ones but it was a very uncomfortable moment! It would have been nice if they would have informed us earlier that they would like to close a few minutes early. We would have understood and happily complied. Like I said, we felt as though we were thrown out and we will NEVER return! read more

Wish I could rate 3.5 To go order review. Called and ordered pork Chow mein, and the general Tao chicken. The person on the phone was very friendly and let me know the chicken was not fried, which was good as many Chinese restaurants do fry that dish. I verified that it was spicy and was told yes it was and it is very good. My husband picked the order up on the way home. Pork Chow mein was delish, not greasy and lots of strips of BBQ pork. I would order this again for sure. Portion was a good size. The General Tao Chicken, was NOT SPICY at all but the exact opposite. A good amount of pounded out chicken breast swimming in a very sweet sauce. If I had been craving a sweet dish the overall rating would be 4. Since I really wanted spicy I was disappointed. A great location right off the freeway and still some of the better Chinese food I have had in placerville. I will give it another chance. read more

Chinese food isn't that difficult to do... and they missed the mark. The food was tasteless, and it came out way too fast to give me the impression that it had been sitting around waiting for an order. The shrimp in the house fried rice was very fishy (fresh seafood doesn't smell like fish!). The orange beef was partially cold and had a bit of an old meat taste. The general chicken we ordered was bland, no spice at all. The restaurant overall was clean and had a nice updated feel. With so many Chinese food restaurants to choose from in the area, we won't be coming back to this place. read more

The best Chinese food in Placerville bar none Try the general chicken or house chow-fun read more

This was a poor example of Chinese food. First and last time going there, it did not taste good, overcooked egg rolls, bland soup, and an overall disappointing eating experience. read more

Large wor wonton soup is huge. The chicken with vegetables is very good. The staff is very nice and the food comes out quick.

There were 6 of us that had lunch there yesterday. My wife's schrimp plate had a smell to it and she sent it back. My son had an upset stomach and stayed up all night and missed work. Tried to call, they are closed on Mondays. Stay away. read more

Oh my goodness, their food here is absolutely amazing!!. Try the salt and pepper spare ribs and the mandarin delight. Super delish, we'll definitively come back again for lunch! read more

decent food - love their crab rangoons/crab cheese wontons especially. i've been going here for years whenever i'm craving it. i also absolutely love their walnut shrimp. i think the guy running the place is cool too. i hope they make it out of The Pandemic because i cannot imagine going anywhere else on god's green earth read more

Food was good not super great. But it was good for being basic Chinese was very well done. Hot and sour soup was great though. And the service was amazing ! read more

We stopped in for a late lunch today. We both got one of the combo meals. The amount of food you get for the price is unbelievable. And it was so amazing. The best sesame chicken around. Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant was very clean. Always happy to stop by! read more

We noticed some bad reviews here and we are SHOCKED! Are they talking about this restaurant? I don't think so. None of that has been our experience here over the past 2 years. The food comes out Hot and Fresh. The service has always been GREAT! We honestly feel this is the BEST Chinese Food in the entire foothills area. The Won Ton soup is very good, they bring it out to start your meal. Everything we have tried has been good...... read more

Great restaurant. Always clean, and the food is always fresh.The prices are very reasonable. The owner is usually there, and the staff are nice. Prompt service. We go for lunch usually. (They give you a lot to eat. We take ours home and have dinner later!) read more

First time in.... I ordered the Mongolian Beef and delicious!! HOT, 8/9 peppers I found in there. Cleared my sinus. LOL I forgot to ask for steamed rice. And things happen for a reason. I never eat fried rice out. This was the best pork fried rice EVER. My boyfriend order the Cashew Chicken and it was also delicious!! BF said best pork fried rice he has ever gotten also. Can't wait to eat there again. Large portions, everyone was nice. Wonton soup was delicious (I did not care for the egg roll- don't know why). That isn't going to stop me. Just over $25 with a pot of hot tea and water with our combination plates for the two of us. Plenty of leftovers went home with us. THIS WAS DINNER. read more

We ordered lemon chicken, pork chow mein and Mongolian beef. The breading on the lemon chicken was perfectly crispy, the chow mein noodles were delicious in texture, and the beef was tender. However, all dishes were greatly under seasoned and bland. A generous splash of soy sauce helped a lot. Without it, the food would have been inedible. Still, I liked the chow mein noodles texture better than Diamond Chinese in Diamond Springs, so I would go here and ask for extra soy sauce if I had to choose between the two. Both places have better chow mein than Panda Express, but this place still gets 2 stars from me for the surprisingly bland flavor. read more

Best Chinese food ever! Their Mongolian chicken, cream cheese wontons, and hot and sour soup is to die for. Always recommend this place to everyone I know! read more

This is the BEST Chinese restaurant in the El Dorado County area! My family and I have eaten here many, many times and it has always been consistently wonderful: food, service, price, atmosphere...you name it! We love it so much that we have made it tradition to eat here every Christmas Eve. My mouth is watering just writing this review and thinking about this restaurant. We were so sad to see this restaurant close a couple of months ago (complications between the building owner and the bank), which was practically like losing a family member! But, they have just reopened just a couple of weeks ago and we are so thrilled to see them back in business! This place is as good as it gets... Enjoy! read more
