    Service was wonderful. Young gentleman waited on us and he was very friendly. He was attentive and noticed when our drinks were less than half full and immediately filled them without us asking. Ambiance was typical of what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. I posted a video of the dining room. Seems to be a tad outdated but definitely well kept up and clean. The food portions were good and price was reasonable. My walnut chicken and his sweet n sour chicken appeared to be the same chicken tossed in different sauces. Our food was served within minutes but was not hot more of room temperature. To be fair this is a good place to eat for cheap and good portions. Food was three stars with a good price for what it was. This place is absolutely equally as good as the Big name Chinese fast food competitor. Wish we could do half stars because I would easily go three and a half stars for the food. There was plenty of parking in the lot and some additional parking on the street along side of the business. This is obviously a local small business and I will always recommend supporting them!

    Homemade potstickers! These are a must try!

    China Bowl is one of those places that if you blink, you'll miss it. It's a tiny little place nestled in between medical and business offices on the main strip in Ripon. But, it's been there forever and, if you know, you know! I've seen this place for at least 20 years with every intention to stop by, but never did until last Saturday. I took my Mom for lunch and we were greeted right away by a really nice lady (the owner?) who seated us and took our drink orders as we sat down. The place is small, but extremely clean. There were only 2 other tables occupied besides us, but that changed within the next 20 minutes as more people came to dine-in. We ordered the seafood combination lunch plates which were $10.95 each. It came with a cup of the egg flower soup (very tasty), white rice, and a delightful sauteed blend of shrimp, calamari, carrots, zucchini, and broccoli in a light sauce perfectly seasoned. The portion of each lunch plate was so big that Mom and I could have easily shared and still been full, but it was nice to have leftovers for later. I wish I would have taken more pictures... We also tried an order of the fresh, homemade potstickers which were some of the best we've ever had. China Bowl has a nice selection of menu items to choose from, the food is made fresh, and the restaurant is very clean. The staff is friendly and attentive - we are definitely coming back!

    Really enjoyed our meal here tonight. Small quiet little restaurant. Clean and friendly staff. Good was made quickly. We ordered: wor wonton soup, honey walnut shrimp, broccoli beef, house chow mein, house fried rice, and veggie egg rolls. The wor wonton soup was great. Wonton were big, and full of meat. I haven't had a wonton that full or big in a soup before. Flavor was good and lots of veggies. Honey walnut shrimp was definitely our favorite. The double fry on it gave it such a great crunch to it, and the shrimp still remained soft and flavorful. And the shrimp were big, bigger than ice ever had at any other Chinese restaurant. Everything we had was just great! Haven't had good Chinese food since we've moved out here to the valley and this definitely has changed our minds. We definitely will be making the drive over here to have Chinese food! My youngest loved the chow mein soup much she asked for the whole plate to eat the remaining noodles. Overall, this place is our new favorite Chinese restaurant. Also, to top it all of, we were wonderfully blessed by an older gentleman who paid for our meal today, I wish I could thank him. It was definitely a memorable meal today.

    Decent food, but expensive. $28 for Mongolian beef combination & pot stickers. Accurate online pricing needs to be added.

    Service Food is fantastic…read moreStaff very nice fast service! Clean place and good ambiance!

    Came in expecting this to be a solid spot. So I ordered their lunch special which includes rice,…read moreprotein for around $11.50 (depending on the protein) with the option to upgrade to fried rice and chow mein (came with soup and an egg roll but I'm not sure if that's because I did the upgrade) for just about $1 extra. I think these days it's hard to find a meal deal for this price with this portion size. I had ordered the Orange Chicken. My meal came with a ton of fried rice (I opted for no chow mein) and plenty of meat. I actually didn't finish the rice and soup, I was pretty full by the end. The fried rice wasn't too bad, pretty standard. The soup a tad bland but it was OK. I wish the egg roll came out the same time as the rest of the food but I'm guessing they forgot it initially. Anyways it was piping hot when it came out with a nice crisp. As for the chicken itself, the sauce wasn't really spicy although it had the spicy symbol. And I wish it was more crunchy, it was mostly lacking in crunch with just a couple of pieces being decently crunchy. I had expected this would happen because I thought it came out way too quick. As for service, there were 2 people ahead of me in line I believe and after the woman working the counter finished up with them, I was promptly seated. She was always smiling and was very pleasant the whole time. As for the interior, there was plenty of seating and tables and it was clean enough. The positives: great price/portion size lunch deal, quick and pleasant service. The negatives: need better timing and crunchier orange chicken.

You must try Lee's homemade chili oil. Beside great food the service is outstanding. When I called in my order and told her my name she was like "oh you have ordered before". If you haven't tried Lee's you are missing out.

    In general I don't like when places use the word restaurant in their name when they are to-go only…read more While it's something that I might take into consideration, the food alone is enough to make this rating a sub 4. For me this place is a 3/5. I ordered the general chicken and orange chicken. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I came maybe about 10 min later. Got the food and tasted it soon after I got to my car. Orange chicken lacking in that orange pop. General chicken lacking in overall flavor. What was the most unforgivable though was the soggy chicken. Eating at its optimal level would be eating it fresh at the table at the restaurant. Next best thing would be in the car as soon as you got it. But it's a to-go restaurant to realistically your eating it at home after it's traveled for however many minutes. As expected when I got home it was soggy. But it was already as soggy as possible to begin with. Why is this place a 4/5 I have no idea. Maybe since I came during off peak hours so they foods just sitting around and there's no fresh food turnover? No idea. Maybe I'll give them another chance one day but who knows. Also factor in that they don't have rice plates and the cost of pure entrees alone and that's a negative for me. I didn't know how lacking Chinese food was in Manteca because I was spoiled by the old Kitty's Kitchen. Nothing compares in the area.
