Get to the car and the lo mein again is missing. Very frustrating - word to the wise- check you orders read more

Visited on Christmas Eve 2024 to grab a takeout order and discovered the restaurant will be open tomorrow -- Christmas Day (nice option other than Waffle House!) -- close to the interstate for travelers as well as locals. Plenty of parking. Menu items consist of the standards (spring rolls, egg rolls, teriyaki chicken, crab rangoons, fried rice, steamed rice, General Tso chicken, beef broccoli, Szechuan shrimp, fortune cookies, etc) and this is one of our favorite restaurants. Consistent quality and prices are fantastic. Reception staff are very friendly and helpful. Restaurant dining room and reception area are tidy, well-maintained, and welcoming. Comfortable seating while you wait. read more

The edamame wasn't too salty cooked great. Crab ragoons were wonderful. Chicken noodle soup was perfect! Best thing for a cold. The chicken fried rice was too bland for me. Needed more spice. Over all pretty darn good! read more

After coming back from Mammoth Caves, we were looking for a dinner spot and had trouble finding one that would allow dogs - especially after a rain that closed the outdoor patios. We rushed to China Bistro for Chinese takeout, and they graciously accepted our order even being close to closing time. We got a pretty standard "American" order - General Tso's chicken, beef and broccoli, and pork lo mein. The General Tso' chicken is super "generic" - almost like -prefrozen chicken in standard sweet sauce. So for like, something unique or authentic, this is not it but it works as a safe choice for most palates. Like Chinese chicken nuggets persay. A little bit overcooked but not tough in any way. The beef and broccoli also was more on the generic side but a bit better than the chicken. There is considerably less meat though (for those looking for protein macros), but overall worked to compliment the sweetness of the chicken. The lo mein was really good. It did come a little cold, and very notably, usually noodle portions are double or even triple than what we got (even at Panda Express), but it is what it is. Overall, the lo mein had great flavor and tied the whole meal together. (There were also two small white rice included which were appreciated despite being overcooked but also it was the end of the day so it makes sense.) At the end, we enjoyed our Chinese meal - thank you China Bistro! read more

Living in Vegas, I've tried my fair share of Chinese restaurants, but this little gem stands out with some of the best Hunan chicken I've ever had. Every time I pass through, it's a must-stop. The dish hits that perfect balance of salty, spicy, and savory, with tender chicken and crisp, flavorful veggies that make you feel good about indulging. If you're a fan of bold flavors and perfectly executed stir-fry, this place is absolutely worth a visit! read more

We were in Clarksville, IN and we were looking for a place to have dinner. We saw China Bistro on Yelp and it was only 10 minutes away, so we decided to give it a try. The place is in a mall and from the outside, it wasn't very impressive. We were there around 7p and oist the tables were occupied, good sign. We started with Steamed Dumplings and these were a pleasant surprise. The meat and accompanying sauce were unlike any we had tried, delicious. I ordered the Chicken Curry and Beef and Scallops. Both dishes were outstanding, but I did request that the Chicken Curry be prepared mild, but it still had plenty of heat (for my taste). All in all, it was a very pleasant surprise and we will return when in the area again! read more

Food is always great and the service is fast. Good value for the good food. Ambience is great with booths and tables.

The absolute best Chinese in Southern Indiana! The folks are so genuine and helpful. The kitchen staff is sharp and attentive. The server doesn't miss a beat on any order. Their prices are more than fair considering the high quality food. I've tried quite a few different entrees and haven't had a bad one yet. Sweet n sour chicken, Orange Chicken, Kung Pao, they got it all. Their Lo Mein and Fried Rice is high quality. No cheap rice or noodles here. The spice levels are my favorite part. 1-5 on heat level. A 3 is perfect. Really brings the entrees to life. All the food is extremely traditional and very well done. The soups are great and the egg rolls are dropped fresh with every order. All the food is made to order and comes out hot and fresh! You don't have to worry about getting food that's been sitting around all day. Apart from the food and service the inside is very decent. Solid menus, tables, and atmosphere. What's not to Love? This is definitely one of the most well kept and greatly ran chinese restaurants I've ever been too, especially around here. If you're in the mood for chinese, China Bistro will not disappoint! read more

Better than 3 star/not really a 4 star. I placed an order for delivery. The upside-the food arrived promptly, it arrived piping hot and the vegetables were nice and crisp. Portions were substantial. Pieces of chicken, pork & shrimp were all very large. The downside-shrimp with garlic sauce was sweet. I've never had a sweet garlic sauce. The hunan pork was supposed to be spicy. I even asked for extra spice. It was bland at best. And the chicken with mixed veggies was indistinguishable from the "garlic"sauce. China Bistro isn't worthy of 5 star reviews. Not until they really deliver on the different flavors of Hunan, Szechuan, Mongolian and so on. China Bidtro is a notch above the common Chinese restaurant with the potential to be far better. read more

Been coming to China Bistro for years. It has been our lunch go to place. Whether eating in or pick up both service and food has been fantastic. read more

Fully aware that "best Chinese in the area" probably just means that there is just no Panda Express in a 20-mile radius (seriously), I had a hankering for eating something different so I made the drive out to China Bistro to take a chance on some to-go food based on the local Yelp reviews of this place. Oops! Overall, even though I asked for "light sauce" on the stir-fried entrées, there was still way too much sauce, and the sauce was sickeningly sweet in the Broccoli in Brown Sauce, as well as in the Scallops with Broccoli in Szechuan Sauce. The Ma Po Tofu was also too sweet, which is very odd because that dish is never sweet. Such an odd version of Ma Po! Have you ever tilted your plate or to-go container to try to gravity-drain off too much sauce in an American Chinese dish? This was one of those meals. Still didn't work. And by the time the sauce had suitably drained, I had to reheat my food. I probably ingested a half a cup of white sugar over the course of this meal. Yikes. read more

Delicious!!! Best in town. Love the new space. Service is fast and food is always consistent.

My new favorite Chinese! Nice, clean, new location. My favs are Mongolian beef, chicken in garlic sauce, chicken-on-a-stick, & hot & sour soup. The service is good - they were super busy, Friday night & the wait was a little long but it was worth it! read more

Absolutely lightning fast service from this place. A good place to get your Chinese food fix.

First, a confession... I've developed CBA Syndrome. That's Covid Bad Attitude Syndrome,lol! Like so many Yelpers, I'm growing weary of being forced into carry-out and drive-thru food, or social distancing mask and full face plexiglass wrap-around contamination suite wearing servers! Not complaining. I "get" it. We all "get" it. It's just that I'm over "it". C'mon vaccines!! China Bistro is one restaurant really trying to get it right. It's a little Chinese Restaurant tucked away on Charlestown Road in New Albany that's really doing their best to keep serving their customers during Covid. The food is hot and fresh - right off the wok! My wife and I call-in our drive thru window food order almost twice a week and the quality has never wavered - always fresh and hot with generous portions suitable for tomorrow's lunch. Pro Tip 1: You must call-in to order. No drive-up ordering is permitted. If you call-in your order around dinner time, you may get a busy signal - just keep repeat dialing, they'll eventually pick up. Pro Tip 2: The vehicle line will suddenly build-up out of nowhere. If they say your order will be ready in 15 or 20 minutes, it's really 10 minutes. If you think you're arriving too soon, you're not. Get your car in line! Pro Tip 3: If they think you're asking for too much soy sauce, duck sauce, or hot mustard, they'll charge you an extra $1.00. Maybe it's just me, because I used to take a lot when they were open for counter service and now they're trying to extract a little payback, lol! Give them a try. If you enjoy the experience during their drive-thru only service, you'll really like them once we get back to normalcy. Enjoy! read more

Best Chinese food! Nice restaurant and very friendly! Nothing beats their pork lo mien.

A good chinese place in new albany! Neat interiors and clean tables. The menu had lot of options to choose from. Was quiet inside. I tried their egg drop soup, while it wasnt the best i had it was still decent! For the main got the combination of pork fried rice and chicken with garlic sauce. The pork fried rice was delicious! Theres something about that pork fried rice at this place. The chicken with garlic sauce was good too but my only complaint was there was quiet less chicken in it. Prices are not too bad. Expect $$ for dinner menu. Overall a decent place to try chinese food! read more

Finally! An awesome Chinese restaurant came to town! Tried this place for the first time today. Had the wontons, house fried rice noodles and triple delight. Small and quiet place - perfect atmosphere for a great conversation. read more

**Do NOT order online from a 3rd party site. Order directly from China Bistro's website or you will be charged more by the 3rd party site.** We ordered Chicken teriyaki sticks, steamed and fried dumplings, General Tao's chicken, shrimp lo mein, beef lo mein, Beef and broccoli and wonton soup. Every thing tasted very, very good and very fresh. We were pleasantly surprised. The dumplings have a good amount of filling in them. We would recommend this place for fresh tasting good Chinese food. We will definitely be ordering again. read more

We order sweet & Sour chicken with fried rice. Delicious. We have it delivered. Only get ours from China Bistro.

Great food and great, fast service! The staff is always friendly. I've never had a bad meal here, the food has always been delicious.

Good classic Chinese food at reasonable prices. It's a small dining area but most of their business is takeout and delivery. They've been a godsend during the pandemic. In my opinion it's the best Chinese in the New Albany area. The eggrolls and steamed dumplings especially. They have all the go to favorites like General Tso's chicken, pork lo mein, steamed dumplings, the spring rolls also are crispy and delicious. Service is always friendly. Perfect for a Netflix and chill evening. read more

Great food! Tastes like NY Chinese food which is so hard to find outside NY!! Very friendly staff!

Great food... especially love mixed vegetables with shrimp...Veggies so fresh.. yum! The mixed vegetable soup ( I add chicken extra) is a great healthy choice that's equally as good... I add a splash of hot sauce as well. Highly recommend... service is fast and friendly! read more

Small spot in strip mall, with a clean dining area and quick helpful staff that got food out fast. They do a large to go business and rightfully so. Their food is good, the wontons are excellent and you get three pork wontons in a lunch bowl. Cashew chicken was not overly saucy with mushrooms, lots of diced celery and tiny baby corns in brown sauce. Fortune cookie was fresh, that is always nice finish. Will return, everyone had excellent looking lunch meals. read more

Ordered China Bistro delivery through the Yelp app. Grubhub delivered it. Everything was hot and fresh. Chicken Fried Rice was delicious. I got two veggie Spring rolls that were tasty as well. It was slightly more expensive with the delivery charge and tip. But it was very good and quick delivery too. read more

By far the best local Chinese place in the area that I have tried. Hopefully the new location opens up soon!

We ordered to go late in the night. Approximately an hour before they closed. We were skeptical ordering so late as this was our first time eating there, and some places will give you the leftovers from the day. Let's say that we were surprised and very happy that our food was fresh and very tasty. We've been to many Chinese Restaurants around our area, and none of them compares to China Bistro. China Bistro will now be our family's go to place for Chinese food. read more

The young girl who is working the register is swamped! They need to have a better ordering system. When the line is out the door stop taking phone in orders and deal with the in store customers. Staffing is currently a huge issue for this resturant. If they say the wait is an hour plan on 1.5+. I've given them two opportunities and it was worse the second time. read more

Great for a carry out or dine in. Typical Chinese but the food is well prepared and they will modify a dish if you want a different sauce, etc. read more

Always fast, always delicious. Their General Tso's is my favorite in the area by a long shot!

This place was suggested by a tech at my nail salon so off to lunch we went. I had driven past this place often and never noticed it was there, its part of a small strip mall so it blends in. Basic decor inside, the restaurant itself and the lady's room looked very clean. A little girl who I assumed was the owners child sat watching cartoons on the tv overhead. The place is obviously family friendly. There's the standard overhead menu board you see in most Chinese restaurants but if you are eating in, just pick a seat and they'll bring out a real menu and come to the table for your order. Lunch specials were well potioned snd according to my nail tech, thier carry-out boxes are stuffed full. The food was hot and tasty. We both got a lunch special and opt for the egg drop soup (50 cents extra) with drinks for under $20. read more

I can't believe that I've never written a review for my favorite Chinese place in New Albany! China Bistro is a small restaurant located in a strip mall that also has a drive thru. You can dine in and sit in one of their comfy booths or get your food to go, which is what I usually do since I commute from Louisville and I stop there on my way home. It is only an exit away from IU southeast...I am telling all of you hungry college students- eat at China Bistro! The food is excellent and the prices are cheap. Like most Chinese restaurants, they have lunch specials which are about half the portion size and price of the dinner combinations. Both come with rice and an egg roll. My favorite entree there is the sesame chicken, which comes with broccoli. I also like to substitute white rice for the fried rice. Last but not least, I LOVE their steamed dumplings. Best appetizer. I'm also going to vote these best dumplings I've ever had...and as a person who has had dumplings from about twenty (not an exaggeration) different places, THIS is the best place to get them. They are big, juicy, and filled with pork. When they come out, you can smell the dough. The sauce is very garlicky and pairs perfectly with the taste of the dumplings. Not only that, but they are consistently excellent each time. When I lived in California, all I could think about were these dumplings. Now that I'm back home, I can have them anytime I want. China Bistro, TAKE MY MONEEYYY! read more

I miss the drive thru but service is still fast. This is only one i enjoy food from in New Albany. I called in an order on the way there and it was ready in the 15 minutes it took to get there. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken combination with General Tso sauce which is always a 5 star. If you do not like the crisp breading on general tso then try the sweet and sour chicken with general sauce to dip in. Game changer. No pics since I ate half on the way home read more

Good food and a new location across from Graters Ice Cream. Mainly use for take out, but always accurate.

Best Chinese food I've ever had, bar none. So many places give you grisly chicken with fried rice that tastes like card board. China Bistro is so good that the only problem I can say about it, is that they're frequently on the weekends so busy that the line for the drive through pick up is out to the road. Amazing crab ragoons. read more

Love to order delivery! We always look forward to order and eating in from here. Food is always good.

China Bistro never fails to hit the spot. My favorite time to go is lunch as they get you in and out very quickly. I would like the General Tso's to have a little more spice to It, but the flavor is good regardless! If you're in the mood for always fresh and hot to your table Chinese in southern Indiana, this is a great option! read more
