    Schezuan bean curd
    Margie A.

    If you want lots of Americanized greasy Chinese food, which I admit sometimes I do after a long day of skiing or hiking near Duluth, then this the spot. Pros: Large portions! Food came out fast. Pork dumpling soup was good (better than the egg drop). The Schezuan bean curd under vegetarian options comes with a bunch of veggies which you can't tell from the menu. It's pretty good but the Peking dish with 3 different meats was tastier. Get spicy everything, it doesn't make it at all spicier but helps with flavor. Cons: Veggies aren't fresh. It's pretty obvious the mushrooms come out of a can (sigh). Took 10+ minutes for server to take our order since there's only 1 person for the entire restaurant. While it's not the greatest, it's still better than the other options nearby (burgers, Taco Bell, Perkins) and the prices and portions are good. Extra bonus: This place is open on Xmas!

    White rice and broccoli with green peppers
    Patti B.

    This was my first of many visits to come! Oh my goodness! The portions were huge, delicious, and VERY affordable. I was pleasantly surprised, as this wasn't my dining companion's first choice. I can't wait to bring out of town guests to visit.

    White rice
    Jamál A.

    Upon arriving at this Duluth landmark, we were pleased that they offered take out to eat at our leisure. What did we eat? Sesame chicken: potentially a mystery meat, quite tasty, adequate sesame seed placement, and good sauce to chicken/mystery meat ratio. Pork Fried Rice: according to local Chinese food enthusiast, "it's rice", you know what you're getting, rice. Highly recommend getting quart size. Pot Stickers: delicious, thick, noodle-like potsticker pouch encapsulates flavorless mystery meat sack. Sauce was quite satisfying to the taste buds (though it consisted predominantly of soy sauce). 1/3 of the pot sticker had a delicate sear to add a nice crunch and a variety of textures to the meal. Since the corporation knew we were high profiled Yelp reviewers, they threw in a petite size of white rice, fits perfectly in your car dash for a lingering aroma of white rice to bring China Cafe on your future travels. Lastly, they were kind enough to include utensils and quality styrofoam plates (which created putrid sounds to make you eat your food faster and leave you wanting more - excellent marketing technique). Overall, splendid service and predictable cuisine with unpleasant after effects. May eat again.

    Beef Lo Mein with white rice
    Nadine R.

    The food here is terrible! The fried rice looked and tasted like the frozen fried rice you get at the grocery store. The beef in my salty Lo Mein was cold in some parts. The food took forever, not sure if they were cooking the white rice. We were disappointed even for our low expectations. We won't be returning.

    This is called 'I was lazy when I made these wings' aka oyster wings. You had one job. 1 star for this employee of the month. Lame.

    I ordered from them on Friday a combination platter for one person and the girl that took my credit…read morecard information charge my account twice yes twice I called the restaurant on Saturday the gentleman stated he would take care of it I checked my bank account I have two payments that went through from their restaurant I just called the store ask to speak to the manager she told me the gentleman was busy I asked her if I could wait she became very rude and told me if I didn't like it that she was going to hang up I tried giving her my phone number and the bee hung up on me now they normally have really good food but when I received my order the meat was chewy and rubbery and my rice was pasty and clumpy had no flavor just plain rice for being pork fried rice so now I will never order from them because I'd be in fear that they might spit in my food or do something to my food but I feel it's pretty sad that they have to double charge you $43 for an order makes no sense whatsoever they used to be a very good place and had really great food I just don't know what happened to them I've been going to them for 20 plus years and this is the second time that this girl has double charged me if you're having a bad day you shouldn't be answering telephones and taking orders so if anybody is ordered from them and had a female take your order I recommend that you check your credit card statement or your bank statement to make sure you weren't overcharged like I said this is the second time that this has happened and I surely will not be ordering any more food from them ever again in life I will miss their food but I don't feel like to trust them they've gotten bad over the last couple of years and that's sad that's really truly sad

    Don't waste your time, been going there for years and get treated very rudely by the fat dude with…read morethe black shirt, black hat, and black shorts. I sat there while my food was on the counter for five minutes, wasn't sure if it was mine but he just overlooked it when he was the one that took the order as it sat in front of him.The tall blonde dude is good. Ever since the oriental lady retired, The place has gone downhill big time. It's hit or miss.Good luck.
