Great place, pleasant service, with fantastic food at a great value, their establishment is always clean and well put together.

I revisited this establishment for lunch about a week ago. Earlier, I was a first timer for dinner and gave it 5 stars. Lunch, however, was a different story. I had the same meal, black pepper steak, which was excellent. But the service was something else. I went at the end of the lunch hour, as guests were leaving, so I wasn't there during a rush which otherwise might have excused the poor service. The woman who waited (?) on me was older, borderline rude, she barely had time to take my order, and literally slid the plates of food across the table at me. She never followed up with pouring me more iced tea or asking if I needed anything; that was left to her co-workers. I will not return no matter how good the food is. read more

I made another stop here on my way home one afternoon, and was a little disappointed this trip. I only got a chicken chow mein and house fried rice, but neither was as flavorful as they were on my last trip. The rice was dry, but had a decent amount of meat in it. The size/weight of each item was less than previous orders as well. It used to be worth the occasional trip to Ione, but I think I'll save the fuel and just get my Chinese food from Martell. Maybe they had a different chef this time? I might try this again down the line, but it'll be a while. read more

The best anywhere's near here!!! The services from the staff is wonderful!! Plenty of great restaurants but I like this one here!

Good food for a great value! I've been craving Chinese food but everywhere I've gone lately has always been sub par. I went to the Ione Chinese restaurant for lunch and man what a value for some tasty food! It was around $12 for a lunch plate with generals chicken and egg fried rice that was piled high! You got so much food for $12 especially with how expensive things have gotten this is a great deal. I got it to go but if you eat there you even get soup for an even better deal! I'll definitely be back to eat here! read more

Good Chinese food. I like the mandarin chicken and chow mein. Pretty quick. Like 10 min. Good place to stop when visiting ione. Had it twice now read more

I love Chinese food and have been to many throughout the years. My main complaint is that there isn't quality control. Some times my meal is perfectly cooked and 2/3 it's overcooked chicken is closer to jerky. read more

Our favorite Chinese Restaurant in Amador County. We love their General Chicken and their Hot & Sour Soup. We also order a side of crispy egg rolls!It's a sit down restaurant with real china and glassware. Their service is quick and attentive. The restaurant is small so difficult for large parties. Food is always delicious and served warm! read more

I love this place. Great food, big portions, and friendly staff! Great for take out or casual dine in.

We got 3 dinner combination specials which were served family style. I like that. They give you big portions here but some of the dishes lacked any flavor, notably the fried rice and Kung pao chicken which could have used some more vegetables. The house chow mein could also use some more vegetables. The lemon chicken and mandarin chicken which were both battered, deep fried and drenched is sauce were good. I've had better hot and sour soup. The ladies here were nice. Would I come back? Hmm...maybe read more

I called in an order. I only live 10 minutes away but the food is always hot and ready for pick up when I arrive. The portions are so huge that one night we had an unexpected guest drop in and there was plenty to feed the three of us and still had leftovers! The restaurant is popular and always packed so we prefer takeout! The ladies are always very nice! read more

Absolutely one of the best restaurants i have eaten at. Clean, wonderful staff, great portions and the food is so flavorful and fresh. The PuuPuu platter with housefried rice and House wonton soup is a perfect meal. Prices are very reasonable for amount and quality of food. 5 start recommendation! read more

There aren't many restaurants in Ione, CA. But when I'm in Ione I will always eat Ione Chinese. I've eaten there many times, ordered take out many times but this is my first review of them. Service is quick and friendly. Ambience is typical strip mall Chinese restaurant. There are certain dishes we always order..... the special wonton soup (wor wonton) and mandarin chicken. Love love love the mandarin chicken. Chicken chow mein is good, Mu Shu pork is good, honey walnut prawns are good. Until recently, this restaurant has been very consistent. For the last several months we have noticed that sometimes the food is under seasoned (not enough salt). Other times it is as perfect as ever. We will continue to eat at Ione Chinese as it's the only Chinese in town and hope that they return to their consistent goodness. read more

Always good , chow fun, beef with mushrooms, and orange chicken are some of our favorites.

Our food is always hot and fresh. Our favorite is the crab cheese wontons and mandarin chicken.

Over priced. MG, it's basic Chinese food. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????85?

My favorite Chinese food! Service on point. We mostly order take out and it's always delicious! read more

Great spot for Chinese food! The flavors were on point, portions were solid, and the service was super friendly. The food always arrives quickly. This is a family favorite! read more

Good food, reasonable prices. I didn't like the pork ribs at all. Service was ok for a takeout order but done quickly.

We ordered a variety of menu basics to go. Our order was ready ah waiting when we arrived and we were helped right away. The portions were large and the food was tasty enough. We have very limited choices here in the hills. The inside is basic and looks like most strip shopping center spots. read more

Tons of food - good for take out in our area ..... not always consistent, never bad but sometimes better than others. It's our go to

This is the best Chinese food! Hot n Sour Soup, Honey Walnut Prawns, Chow Main, and all your favorites! You will not be disappointed! read more

By far the worst experience . 2 hours to get food. Never approached one time while waiting for food. Asked for a discount and told " I can't do that". Get home with food to find missing items in order which other people had happen as well. We went back and other customers returned for the same reason. I understand they are having an off night but a discount or at LEAST A SORRY WOULD BE WONDERFUL! This place should be shut down. Its dirty. read more

Best Chinese around! Super friendly staff, always quick. We order from here at least once a month. Salt and pepper beef, general chicken, walnut shrimp, fried rice! read more

Food is great a bit expensive but delicious. Service is fast place is small. We do take out only.

Stopped by today for some lunch. Had the mandarin chicken and lemon chicken with chow mein from the lunch menu. Service was very prompt and friendly and efficient, with a bowl of egg flower soup to kick off. We were very surprised by the generous portions especially considering the very reasonable prices. Food was delicious and staff were very attentive. This is a great little spot and we will definitely be back. Get in, slide some noodles down your gullet and enjoy your life. read more

I recently tried Ione Chinese Restaurant as I frequently visit the Ione market plaza, and it met my standard expectations for a Chinese restaurant in every aspect. The ambiance is a delightful blend of modern and traditional Chinese elements, creating a great atmosphere. The staff deserve high praise for their exceptional service from the genuine smiles at the entrance to the attentive and knowledgeable wait staff. Their professionalism and friendliness added a touch that made my to-go experience truly go well. For my order, I got Vegetable Fried Rice. I'd have to say the restaurant is able to concoct a delectable fried rice dish. The balance of flavors, the freshness of the vegetables, and the nicely cooked rice made this dish stand out to me. The portion size and visually appealing presentation only added to the overall delight. Whether you're a vegetarian or simply a fan of fried rice I recommend trying this dish. The restaurant is exceptional to me in terms of employees, decor, and food (particularly the Vegetable Fried Rice). I had a satisfied stomach and a keen desire to explore more of their menu in the future. read more

Ione Chinese Restaurant - Vegetable fried rice (To-Go) - Chinese Near Me - Ione, California

Oh man, bu hao!! :( I so wanted to like this restaurant, we love and adore the pizza place next door. And after reading some negative reviews, I so thought I was going to write another awesome review amidst the negative ones. I was wrong. 1. Ordered a really simple to-go order. Hot and sour soup, 2 orders of the potstickers and an order of the Veggie chow mein. She quoted me 10-13 minutes, I told her we live around 25 minutes away and we are en route!! (Maybe that was my mistake etting her know how long it was going to take for us yo get there) 2. Got there like in 22 minutes, had all 3 of my youngins with me, and drove the 4runner out there so no need to speed. Soon as I walked in our order was not ready. In fact, I ended up waiting for another 10 minutes. So, in short it was over 35 minutes for them to put my order together. So glad I didn't speed to get here when she said the order would be ready. All that to say, their timing is "hwai dan." (Bad chicken lol) 3. The food: The Hot and sour soup, which I love, was awesome. No complaints. In fact, it was HUN HAO!! Excellent!! The rest, the potstickers after 2 bites of one, the garbage can enjoyed the rest. The Chowmein, oh Nelly, or in this case aye yo...so bad. Bland, even the veggies thought it was cooked bad. It too saw the garbage can real quick. 4. The bill. So I use own a restaurant in Lafayette, part of the East Bay. I say this because I somewhat can speak as an expert in this business, I say this humbly of course. Itemized receipts. I swear it's a good thing. Customers, idk call me loopy and crazy, but we like to know what we spent our hard earned money on. Just to punch bunch of numbers into an archaic calculator and yell out a number, again idk, doesn't work for me I suppose. 5. The vibe of the place, ambiance if you will. Old school, small town chinese restaurant. Lol. I liked the interior set up, in fact, the above annoyances would of been totally dismissed if the food was slammin. Unfortunately, it wasn't so, yeah, this place in Ione, not so much. Sorry guys, I know it's a very difficult industry you are in, you gotta do it right though. Timely service, good food and good customer care. Here are your ingredients to do it right. Now will we be back? No way oh-Jay. Not for a loooooong while, you crocodile. Not so soon you baboon. Sorry throwing in a little humor. read more

It's good food not always the same. Some times the rice can be dry. But they give you good portions.

Always amazing! Food was superb. Hot and fresh! Service is always amazing. Pictures are after we had finished dinner. Enough for leftovers the next day. read more

This place was great!! Food was warm and very tasty. The best orange chicken and sesame chicken I've ever had. I noticed after eating here I didn't feel bloat and dissatisfactory (like I normally feel after eating other Chinese restaurants). My kids loved it as well! read more

First they screwed up our order and when I called to see if it could be fixed they blamed it on us. The rice is literally inedible and it costs way to much money for how terrible the quality is and how little meat is actually in the Mongolian beef. I'll be going to Jackson the next time I want Chinese food. read more

Ione Chinese Restaurant - Chicken fried rice and Mongolian beef - Chinese Near Me - Ione, California

We love the food at Ione Chinese. It's a staple in our home. Maybe every other week we go here to take the load of the Mrs

I have been going to this restaurant for years and years and it has always been great. However, after my last two experiences they will never get another dollar from us. The first bad experience, I had taken my boyfriend for his first time. The lady rushed us and wasn't very polite. Our food was pretty terrible to my surprise. I had never had a bad experience here before, but it literally tasted like they reheated our rice and dumped soy sauce on it to add moisture back (still dry and now super salty). We were in and out of the restaurant in about 15 minutes. We got our bill which seemed extremely high considering what we ordered and it was just the two of us. He payed with his card and didn't leave a tip on the receipt because I was going to leave a cash tip. As I was pulling money out of my wallet our waiter rudely interrupted our conversation and pointed to the receipt saying "why no tip?" I left the cash on the table, brushing it off & assuming it was just a bad day for them. This week we brought a group of friends (5 of us). We arrived at about 7:45 and knew they closed at 8:30 so we tried to hurry and order quickly. She rushed us to order minutes after us sitting down and practically threw us our food and drinks. The food was wonderful this time. We had two separate bills, and we noticed that she added a $10 tip to both of our cards. When our friend questioned her on why she automatically added the gratuity if we were on separate bills she answered with "because people don't tip" and "if you want to bargain don't come here again". Point is we are all willing to tip well if the food is good and the customer service is decent. It was not at all. Sad to see this place go down hill. read more

Ione Chinese Restaurant - Cashew Shrimp, Cashew Chicken, Sizzling Black Pepper Beef, and Walnut Shrimp (Pot Stickers didn't fit in the photo). - Chinese Near Me - Ione, California

Fresh and satisfying! If you're expecting Bay Area or Stockton flavors, you might be a little disappointed, but for a small rural town, this place does a solid job. The food is always hot and fresh, and while it's not mind-blowing, it definitely hits the spot when you're craving Chinese. Service is always friendly and prompt, which is a huge plus. One of the few places in Ione that stays open late, making it a go-to for a late-night bite. Pro tip: you'll get better deals if you dine in! Cashew chicken, orange chicken, beef n broccoli, rice and chow mein ohh so good. read more
