    Subgum crispy noodles
    Ashley P.

    I was introduced to this place several years ago and have been hooked ever since. It is clean, the service is great, the owner and staff are friendly, portions are great, and the food is amazing! My personal favorite is the crispy noodles/subgum. It has pork, shrimp, and chicken; snow peas, baby corn, water chestnuts, carrots, broccoli; and a dark sauce all atop crispy noodles. It is so good! My boyfriend loves the crispy roast duck. He really enjoyed it. This was his first time here and we will def be back more often. Helen is very friendly as well and always stops by to say hello. Love, love, love this place.

    A Hollywood institution. Love their veggie dishes. Today veggie lo Mein. Large portion of noodles and fresh veggies. Located in downtown Hollywood.

    Are the bell pepper mold or from cooking? We planned to have dinner at Miami tennis Open but I didn't realize (so me...) that I purchased qualifying round which means they close shop early. We're hungry. And found this Chinese, on the way to home with 4 star rating. So Helen's it is. Meter parking. Upon entering, the fish tank perks me up. At 7pm on a Tuesday, it's empty. There is only one couple. The decor is dated and dark. I see two women, one serves us and one is working around the dining hall, like restoring or the like. I asked if they've Chinese menu, she said no. We've ma po tofu 麻婆豆腐and shredded pork Sichuan style. We've been sweating under the sun at the matches and wanted salt. The hot tea is soothing. (at bill time did I know it's free, so is the rice.) They've wine by the glass but I didn't order which is rare. Something isn't right. Both dishes are sweet. Ha ... And as we're winding down and I'm picking on the last few strains of bell pepper, I see the mold. Horrified, I told the woman who comes to ask if we've done. She is defensive and asks me if I know how to cook and the 'molds' are the birthmark of the wok. "But they're so tiny and concise, how could a wok make such marks?" The woman goes away and returns with a container full of sliced bell pepper, raising her voice, "this is what we use. We don't use moulded bell pepper..." To be fair to them, I showed the photo to a few Chinese friends who cook, mold or cooking marks. Their answers, without knowing the above story, mold. Oh well. What do you think?

    Very nice authentic Chinese food restaurant located in the heart of downtown Hollywood. Their dinner and "sunset menu" specials are very tasty and we are always happy to return. Great restaurant for a date or family. Best hot and sour soup! Good prices and service.

The…read moreinterior displays traditional Chinese ambiance with a stone buddha statue guarding the host counter upon entry. The Asian hand painted folding paper fans along the walls and the red Chinese New Year lanterns hanging from the ceiling added a nice touch to the subtle decor. We were sat immediately at a booth of our choice. The dining room was empty of customers with an eerie silence. The server greeted us with the standard duck sauce and golden crispy crackers and the traditional metal tea kettle and cups. I slurped down my wanton soup that had plump wanton and not salty thin broth. The General Tso Chicken with fried rice was a huge portion and tasty. The fried eggroll had a crisp outer shell and was dense with veggies, although it seemed more like an oversized spring roll than a traditional Chinese egg roll, but the superb taste overshadowed the petite size. As were eating, I still could not stop noticing that we were the only customers at lunchtime 12pm during the work week. I will take great food and attentive service any day over a loud packed dining room but could this be the end of a strong fifty-six year run to end the China Lane legacy? I sure hope not. As the bill arrived, I noticed a portion at the bottom with suggested tip percentages to merely place a checkmark in a box - not bad, just unique. The gender assigned bathroom was clean with a dominant red door and gray marble-like tile. The toilet rules written on the front of the tank made me chuckle and added some unexpected humor to a traditional Chinese restaurant (see pic and read).

    We had a disappointing lunch here…read more My husband's won ton soup was the best part of his meal. I got the eggroll with my lunch special. The outer wrapper was good and crisp. Inside was mushy -- like it had been frozen and thawed too often. My husband ordered the lemon chicken. The chicken was breaded and fried and served on a bed of lettuce. He said it was crunchy. It came with lime slices. The sauce was served on the side. It was overly thick and limey -- not lemony. My pork with mixed vegetables was just okay. It wasn't consistently warm. Parts were cold and parts were warm. The pork had a lot of fatty bits. The fried rice served with it was awful. Well, we tried. We won't be back.

    I've been coming here for years! This restaurant is one of my favorite casual Chinese restaurants…read morein Hollywood. It's usually empty and many people order delivery or to go, but I always dine in the restaurant. Today our server was nice and very attentive, but one of the managers/owners was a bit rude. I asked if we could be seated near an outlet as I needed to keep my laptop on, and she said there were none. I found an outlet against a wall that was visible from our table and I went over to charge it. She went over and nearly unplugged it, but after realizing that there was no reason for me not to charge my device she let it go. Our food was made to order so it was delicious and nice and hot. We ordered the cream cheese rangoons to share and each ordered a combination platter which comes with with an egg roll, choice of soup, entree, white or pork fried rice and ice cream. We both opted for Wonton soup and pork fried rice but for the entrees, my friend ordered the chicken and broccoli which she did not enjoy much (we have had it in the past and it was good, but I guess they are inconsistent with their recipe), and I ordered the Szechuan chicken for the first time which I thought was delicious. In the end, we were both too full for ice cream and at first our server said we could switch it for an egg roll, but then after a while 5 minutes she came back and told us that the manager said no substitutions. I think it was because she was annoyed with me for charging my laptop against her wishes.. Overall I would give this visit 2.5 stars, but normally I would rate this place 3.5 or 4 stars because usually the food is great and the staff is nice... Today was an exception but I will still be back.

Inside, there are a lot of tables and in talking with my friends and the staff, it can get crazy busy, especially on weekends. But it wasn't too bad on a weekday early afternoon. We went for dim sum; they give you a menu with pictures and names, and a piece of paper to mark on what items you would like. Sometimes they'll names don't quite match but it's not too bad. They bring them from the kitchen when it's ready One tip for you: it's easy to over order, so you might order a smaller number of things and see how it goes, and order more later. Anyway, they have very many seafood and veggie dishes, which suits me just fine. And the waitress was making sure to point out what dishes had meat in them as she brought them to the table. That was very considerate. The price point for each item is on the high side, but the quantity is good. But of course it adds up in a hurry (another reason to see my tip about over ordering!) All in all, a pleasant meal and I was full when I left.

    Hands down the best restaurant for dim sum specifically in the Pembroke Pines area…read more China Pavilion is located in a pretty chill shopping center not too far from Pembroke Lakes mall. The restaurant feels very authentic to how Chinese restaurants are, the restaurant has a fish tank at the entrance which is very on brand and over all it's a pretty casual space. The food is really good and there are so many items on the menu, that I definitely recommend coming with a few people so you can try all the things you want without it being way too much food. There are a few waiters/waitresses and they all attentive. Even though one person takes the order, the other servers may bring your food, get you another drink, or clear things off of your table. This is also another restaurant I will definitely be back to and highly recommend, especially if you're looking for Dim Sum in Pines.
