Carry out is fast! The food is good and in this area one of the few Chinese places close to home. A nice family owns the restaurant and they are good people read more

The food was awesome tasting and very generous portions for the money. I'm looking forward to the next time.

Food was great! Take out was fast and portions were plentiful! Would recommend! Appreciated a phone call when our take out was ready! read more

Outstanding ! Nice people good food. My go to place for Chinese food. I pass by 2 others on my way. Clean. Best in Howell area. read more

Huge portions, everything was amazing. Seems like a family owned small business so very happy to support.

Every thing that we have ordered has been very good. One thing we didn't like was the General Pso's (sp) chicken. Normally it has a little heat but not this one. read more

If you're looking for really good Chinese food, this is in my opinion the best in Livingston county. My I order from here at least once a week and that in my opinion is saying a lot. When I go out of town, upon return, I have to have China Best within 48 hours of my return. New Peking in Garden City and China best in Howell, MI are my all time favorite. I live in Fowlerville now, so China Best and forget the rest. read more

We were fairly happy with our experience here. The location of this place in the Kroger Strip Plaza on MI-59 a couple of miles north of downtown Howell made it easy to find. The facility is cozy and well kept. It was not clear whether dine-in was open, but my intention was to take ours away. I placed my order on-line and did not have to wait long to pick up my food after arrival. The staff was efficient and friendly. We tried the Beef with Snow Peas and the Kung Po Chicken. Both were good. I expected the chicken to have a bit more kick, but it was tasty, nonetheless. We also tried the Spring Rolls, which were nice and crispy, but perhaps not filled as much as we would have liked. Our final bill for the food with a small tip was $26. At $13 per person, it was a good deal. This is especially so considering that the portions were huge, and we had enough leftovers for two additional meals. This place was a classic 3.5 stars, but I was fairly positive about our meal there. We'll likely try this place again. read more

See all

This is your local Chinese restaurant. A few sit down booths. Menu board above the counter, pictures of the dishes. We all know the spot. Well this is a good one. Great variety on the menu. All the usual suspects... Almond boneless, the general's, chow mein, etc. I have tried several dishes and all have been great. Love the pork fried rice. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable. Solid. read more

This place right here has the best food I have ever had the pleasure of consuming in my whopping 30 years of existence. Their orange chicken will have you scratching your head in wonder. Wondering if you ever truly had real authentic orange chicken till now. i will warn you though. If you decide to treat yourself to the best of the best! come hungry! their portions are huge! read more

Tried China Best for takeout with a couple friends, it was great and fresh. Fast service too. Will try again soon

Cook your rice longer has no flavor the spring rolls are Soggy and i keep comimg back but it is the same evrytime and the food is ok

The food here is great . The service is good as well . Best Chinese in Howell for sure . I highly recommend this place .

Been going here since 2015. It used to be amazing, but recently it has gone down hill. Just got take out the other day and the egg rolls were best described as dry and damn near not edible. I always get general tsao chicken, and dang is the chicken dry and just bad. So sad this place's standards have gone down. Guess I have to drive to Brighton for Wong express if I have a hankering for Chinese. read more

China Best has ok food. It's not the best, not the worst. Just kinda in the middle. It will definitely satisfy a craving for Asian food though. The only thing they need to work on is if a customer places an order to be ready at a certain time, they need to make sure the order is complete by that time...especially if the order was placed over an hour in advance. read more

Purchased a lunch of orange chicken and a lunch of sweet and sour chicken for a friend because it was close to Medilodge of Howell. Sweet and sour chicken was alright, except for the fact that an egg roll only comes with the higher priced dinner meal for 7$ and some change. Most places I go to that give lunch specials for $5.95 or so include an egg roll. My orange chicken tasted as if it was sitting in a Walmart hot case for too long and became dry, stringy and hard to chew. The two quarter slices of orange wasn't making me a believer. The fried rice? Eh. It was alright The sweet and sour chicken...the chicken was okay, equivalent to what you would find in a regular Chinese buffet. The sauce was alright... Couldn't really find anything wrong with that dish. But how can you screw up pre-battered chicken pieces and frying oil? Not to mention pre-made sauce. Needless to say, I'll stay faithful to my 2 places I know have better quality, include egg rolls, and actually have edible chicken WITH sauce. Avoid those two dishes, and you may have a better experience. If I could get a refund, I would. read more

I've never written a food review but i had to vent somehow. I feel one star is waaaay to generous! WORST GENERAL TSO Barely any sauce on chicken, like one tablespoon on the entire order. More sauce wouldn't of really helped because it was just a step up from ketchup. Save your $ and buy a bag of frozen Chinese next door at Kroger. read more

Stopped for a quick bite to eat and they were quite busy. Ordered shrimp with lobster sauce...not much flavor...shrimp were good size but flavor a bit off. Imitation crab..not my preference...would prefer something lobster-like..even crawfish. Oh well, at least it wasn't expensive. 7.95 for dinner with egg roll. read more

China Best - Shrimp with lobster sauce - Chinese Near Me - Howell, Michigan

Is it really the Best from China? One might ask that when they see the sign. I will tell you that it's not. I would like to give this place 2.5 stars. It didn't suck like 0 star Golden House. It wasn't as wonderful as Wong Express House or New China King. This place is ideal if you are in a pinch and don't want to drive further to get better. Good egg rolls though and nice service. 2.5 chop sticks. read more

China Best - Not the best. - Chinese Near Me - Howell, Michigan

Since all the Chinese restaurants near me in Livonia are closed, I decided to try this place out because I'm working temporarily in Howell. Big mistake. One of the other reviewers mentioned this place is like "fast food" Chinese, and that is extremely accurate. Chicken overcooked in the fryer, pre-packaged sauces, nothing really "homemade" or authentic. My husband's General Tso's chicken was bland as well. Really disappointed because we were craving Chinese for a few months. Also, the sign hanging near the register says to "Tell others if you are satisfied, and if you are not, then Silence is Golden." I should have left without my food after I read that odd sign... read more

Our family loves China Best! The owners are so kind and their food is absolutely delicious! By far the best take out in the area! Reasonable prices that can't be beat, delicious food with consistent quality! read more

Great food and the owners are nice and very willing to change any meal to the way you want it!! Great food!

Won't go back!! I ordered the general tso chicken lunch ... lets just say I did not get general tso chicken. What they gave me was some breaded chicken (I believe its the chicken they use for the sweet & sour) and then poured the spicy sauce over it and called it general tso chicken. The chicken fried rice tasted like it had been sitting there for a couple days. I definitely will not be going back. read more

I have been visiting China best for about 4 years now and every single time I'm never disappointed. Very good value for their prices - will often get two meal portions in one(dinner size) - and their chk fried rice is top notch. I always order their chicken but their entire menu is good! Very friendly staff and family owned!! BUY LOCAL read more

the best crab rangoon ever! so cripsy and the sauce is amazing. i only go there for the rangoon so im not sure of the other food options

I love this place. I visited for a second time today and left as full as last time with half my food to take away. The Chow Mei Fun is great, highly recommended. If you like Crab Rangoon (if you don't, I am not sure I can trust you), they make them fresh and pack them full. Great for takeout, small dining area for about 20-30 people max. Highly recommended. read more

China Best - Chow Mei Fun. Delicious! - Chinese Near Me - Howell, Michigan

One of best!! For sure the best in Livingston county.. best crab Rangoon ever!! Also the sesame chicken is the best that I've had in a very very long time it's always crispy and hot and delicious! read more

Most of the food here is good but on my last visit, the General Tsos chicken just wasn't; tough overcooked pieces of what wasn't very good chicken to start with. I'll still eat there for the rangoons an a few other things that are always good but won't be ordering the GT chicken again read more

Average Chinese strip mall food -- comparable with all the other Chinese food in Howell, they probably all get their ingredients from the same distributor. I ordered 3 dishes, a side of shrimp fried rice and egg rolls. It was a not particularly special experience overall; the shrimp tasted old or off, the egg roll was under cooked and the chicken was stringy (not unexpected, most Chinese food has this problem, no points off for that). I probably won't be back, but it wasn't because it was bad, it's only because it is basically the same as every other Chinese place. read more

We live near by and decided to give China Best a try. Unfortunately we were disappointed. The food was not very good (seemed like it was cooked in old oil). I returned the food as we could not eat it. I did not ask for a refund nor did they offer one. I would suggest just going over to Krogers and getting a frozen dinner, you would be better off. read more

Fantastic food and pleasant service. Love coming in here. I highly recommend the sesame chicken!

Always hot and exactly what we order. My husband loves the spring rolls, but they are not for me, I much prefer the egg rolls - good but not amazing. I love that we can order online, a real treat for families with toddlers. You know, the ones that cannot make phone calls without kids screaming in the background. read more

Picked up pepper steak and moo goo gai pan. Pepper steak was hugh pieces of meat moo goo gai pan was large hunks pieces of chicken and vegetables . Had no flavor. Will not go back. This is probably the worst I have ever had. read more

Food was hot, large portion size for price and tasted fresh to order. Had the sweet and sour chicken with chicken fried rice and egg rolls (enough for 3 people to share). Egg rolls were hot, but i prefer a mixture of veg in my egg rolls (carrots, cabbage, sprouts, onion). read more

Excellent Chinese food. Their fried rice is addictive. I've tried all the Chinese restaurants in Howell and this one is has the freshest vegetables and will also will tweak the menu to get me low sauce versions. read more

Food was good, but took an hour to make. Chinese take out shouldn't take this long. When picking up takeout, it is not fun to wait 25 minutes inside the restaurant. read more

Ugh...be warned before you eat here.... They serve their food with plastic utensils. The plastic forks and spoons are REUSED!!! We saw them wipe off our utensils when we were done and give them to another customer!!! How gross is that??? Not to mention that they make their two kids (under age 10) work like dogs in the kitchen and the owners are constantly screaming at them. read more

DONT DO IT! I ordered my boyfriend and I a carry out last night of a veggie lo mein combo for myself and the General tso combo for him, both with chicken fried rice. .. lucky for me I don't eat meat because he woke up in the middle of the night with food poisoning. The only thing different that he ate vs me was the chicken and an egg roll. We both had crab Rangoons. He was in the bathroom for hours with it coming out of both ends. :( We have eaten here before and it was fine but needless to say... we will never go back. Unfortunate. read more

Best Chinese food in Howell. Whenever my wife and I need good Chinese food take out, this is our place. Pretty standard Chinese food, but worth a try. read more

Something happened mid summer, must be new owners or cooks because they were our favorite local Chinese restaurant but now just OK. Will try again in 6 months. Very little seating, best for take out, located in strip mall opposite end to Krogers. read more
