The food was terrible. We ordered sweet & sour pork & chow mein to go. The pork was so dry & smelled burnt. It was hard to even chew it. The chow mein had no flavor at all. The only thing that was good was the hot & sour soup that came with it. We called to let them know about our disappointment in the food and they hung up on us.

Had the absolute worst sweet & sour sauce of my relatively long life here. Tasted like canned tomato paste.

Order the kung pow chicken with chow mein from them, BEYOND SALTY, almost inedibly so. The only saving grace were the egg rolls, other then that it was just not great.

Wish I could give zero stars. The food is over priced and should be $$ not $. Even if we paid half price it would be way too much. Most of our food went in the garbage. Very little flavor and what was there did not taste like the Chinese food I've been eating for over 60 years. I'm not sure how this restaurant got any positive reviews unless it's from friends and family. Do not believe what you read.

Oh my god, that was the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten in all my life. I had to go to Lucky's to get some crackers to get the taste of that vile food out of my mouth. I ordered Wor Wonton Soup. The broth was the best part and it wasn't great, just sort of edible. The wontons had clearly been poured out of some frozen bag of cheap wontons that had no filling and they were gummy and inedible -- and they had NO FILLING - just gummy undercooked dough. There were veggies that had been tossed in without cooking them - raw veggies - just "in there". Then there were pieces of scary meat. There was beef that was both slimy and tough at the same time. Didn't eat it. There was chicken that tasted off and scary and it had a weird color. Then there were pork slices that were dyed pink at the edges. Toughest pork ever and had no seasoning. It was dyed to look like it was Char sui pork, but it wasn't Char Sui. I know Char Sui, I have cooked Char Sui Pork. This was not Char Sui Pork - this was a bad tough cut of meat that was dyed pink at the edges. I have no problem cooking cheap cuts of meat, but you have to cook tough meat low and slow with spices to get it to be nice. That did not happen here. There was something that looked like a shrimp in there. I left most of it on the dirty table and scampered away - never to return.

This is not the place to go! Used to be my favorite. When you first walk in it smells like old rancid oil. Ordered the lunch special. Soup was delicious. Rice tasted like old oil. Noodles were bland. Curry chicken is what I ordered as my main dish, I don't know what I was served...tasted like a watered down teriyaki sauce. Lots of water chestnuts, yuck! Even the fortune cookie was stale

Today we ordered Mongolian Beef, and Mu Shu Pork. Husband says beef had no spice at all. Mu Shu Pork: I asked for fried rice instead of white rice. I asked for the pancakes that go with the dish. (Did not receive the pancakes). "Yes, yes, they come with the pancakes". Called the diner, asked about the pancakes, was told that I could have had either fried rice or the pancakes. Asked her why she didn't say so, asked for both, would've paid for both. Have never heard of that in any Chinese restaurant. The wontons w/cream cheese came w/o the cheese. Asked for sweet red sauce and mustard sauce (I like to mix them) for the wontons. Both condiments tasted spoiled. The pot stickers were heavily laden with outside flour. Have not tasted the hot and sour soup yet. Spent over $50 w/tip; never again. Hope we don't get sick.

I will never order food from here. China diner has gone down hill me and my family were about to pay for our food when we see a cockroach crawling down the wall and the owner didn't seem to be bothered by it
