It's not clean in there and all the food is bad now on 2026 June 16 that's the day we went to China Café then when we brought it home we got sick. They just need to. Close it down. For good. And never open it ever again. read more

Best Chinese in Mount Washington! It is always delicious- we love getting the steamed dumplings, crab Rangoon, General Tsos chicken and chicken & broccoli. The food is consistently always good and the service is very fast/friendly. It is easy to order online and pick it up with their drive through. One area that could improve is their building - making some upgrades on the outside and inside would go a long way. I think majority of people do takeout vs. eating inside, so if they would upgrade the space, I think more people would dine in. But don't let that stand in your way of ordering with this restaurant- the food is delicious and my go-to Chinese food! read more

I Stopped in here recently for lunch. This place is a Hidden Gem! Very Clean! Service was very friendly and helpful. The Food and the Jasmine Tea were Delicious! I love how they serve the Tea! Be Careful, it's HOT when you first pour it out! I enjoyed the Sweet and Sour Chicken with White Rice and a Vegetable Egg-roll. I look forward to returning here again when the Chinese Food Craving kicks in! (Tried to ask for a plastic knife to cut my chicken with but they were busy; I made due with the Fork! They have to go bags near the tables if you can't finish everything which was very convenient because this became my lunch and supper both!) read more

Great service and food was very good! Was craving Chinese and since we are new in town tried it out. The portions are large and the price is great. It tasted awesome and we will definitely go back. We ordered take out and it was done exactly when they told it would be. We ordered for three people and was given a twenty minute time table. As I said great food and service. read more

Stay away, for the love of Pete, please stay away. I don't review very often, but when I do, it's to save the general public from making a horrible decision. I have no idea where other reviewers have eaten, so I can't speak to their experience, but this place is absolutely, without doubt, in all my 52 years the WORST CHINESE FOOD I'VE EVER HAD. I can overlook the half-remodeled 80's Burger King that houses China Cafe. In fact, I thought to myself as I entered the establishment, "how cool would it be if this ugly place had amazing food?" I LOVE those kind of places. But, the fact that this place was utterly empty at noon should have triggered my restaurant instincts. The greeting one receives is somewhere north of what you'd receive at the cafeteria of a fancy prison, lacking only the presence of a large, amorous serial killer behind you waiting for you to drop your plastic fork. Very sterile, not very friendly, I'm starting to wonder whether or not these poor souls are there voluntarily. To the owner, I'm very sorry to have to tell you this, but your food is utter trash. Much better food to be had at what I consider the holy grail of crappy Chinese food: the buffet. Yes, I said it, their food is worse than the worsed buffet food. Their "fried rice" isn't fried... it's colored, steamed rice with come frozen bagged vegetables in it (good news... none of the flavor!" I specifically ordered the Kung Pao Chicken because I wanted a little heat and lots of flavor, but what I got would have been better served being created by Chef Boyardee (if only). The sauce had literally no flavor, which I assume is the same base for many, many of their dishes. But hey! They "Kung Pao'd" it by throwing on some whole shelled peanuts before serving. Not a single tiny hot pepper in there to be found... you know, like every single other Kung Pao dish I've ever had. Just so, so bad. Apparently these folks never made the Zoom call where MSG was discussed. I tried to remedy the situation with soy sauce, which is ONLY AVAILABLE IN TO-GO packets. Yep, not a bottle in the place. The packets were what I assume came from Wish.com, meaning they couldn't be what the owner had ordered, no way. Even the packet of soy sauce were flavorless. Brown water satchels is what they got. Also... NO FRIGGIN SRIRACHA?? In an Asian restaurant??? I thought for a moment I'd been teleported to North Korea and landed in one of those fake storefronts, only there to make it look like everything is great, but you get inside, and everything is just for show. My wife ordered shrimp fried rice, and and a bowl of hot and sour soup. The soup was neither hot, nor sour, probably made from the same Sisco Food Service mix one can find at any crap buffet. Utterly unremarkable. Her shrimp fried rice was in a contest with my food for blandest thing you can put in your mouth, ever. She thought her shrimp was "off", and quit after a few bites. They had a twice-worn panty kind of odor, and with it, the unsurprising sliminess. Again, this rice was NOT FRIED. Tinted rice would be a good name for this dish, folks. Good news, though... our pig loved it! I feel pretty bad leaving this review, but I feel it is imperative to warn you. Save your money, go to Walmart, and get yourself one of those huge, tall cans of La Choy. It's waaay tastier. read more

My wife and I love this place! Been going here for years now, great Mt. Washington establishment.

I've only been through drive-thru here but the service and food are great! Best Pork Egg Foo Young/Yung/Yong I've had in years!

My house used to only go to the other Chinese restaurant in town but over the years we felt like it was starting to miss something so we switched to China cafe and we haven't switched back! Their food is so good and it's filled with so much flavor! Even just the plain fried rice has a ton of flavor to it. It always comes to us fast even if we DoorDash it comes super quick. Always hot never comes cold or even just warm. Even the picky eater in our house loves it so definitely recommend them! Will say they need a little curb appeal but who really cares what the building looks like when the food is good haha read more

Good food i have zero complaints, i would eat here again without hesitation. Good clean environment

The review is for the food. The restaurant is in an old fast food place. Ambiance is zero. :) We had the Chicken Chow Mein, which was good and the Hunan Chicken, which was very good. The Hunan was just peppery enough to be nice. The flavors were quite tasty. In both dishes, the veggies were crisp and not soft and mushy. They came with excellent egg rolls. Fresh, crisp, and tasty. The fried rice was fine but nothing special. I would eat here again. The service was fast and business like. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! While the building is very run down, the food could not be better. I recently moved to the area and am so thankful to have found my new Chinese takeout spot! read more

Have to have this at least 5 times/yr. Outstanding dishes and hot tea. Love drive-through option.

My daughter worked there. They stole her credit card tips and had her start delivering without checking with us. She was a minor and we didn't feel comfortable with this. Also, the owner smoked cigarettes while cooking and always poured uneaten crispy noodles back in the bin to be served again. read more

Food is amazing! Even when delivered everything is still hot and crispy! Every dish I have tried is better then the last!

Everything I order tastes great and prices are super affordable. Meals prepared quickly and counter service for pickup is very nice.

When you go inside no one really talks to you, you sit down go grab food, pay, then leave. I really recommend the orange chicken the most they give you a lot and it always really good. read more

This is one of our go to places to dine. Very good food & service everytime . We love to eat here.

Really good Chinese food. They have online ordering for convenience and you can set the order for a specific time ahead. They got the order exactly right, and it was hot and ready when I requested it to be. The restaurant is very neat and clean, and the staff was fast and pleasant. Will definitely return. read more

I decided to stop by the China Cafe here in Mount Washington for an early lunch. There's not many reviews on the China Cafe so I decided to try it out and see what I think of it. I ordered their lunch General Tso's chicken and with that comes the General Tso's chicken chicken fried rice an egg roll and a fortune cookie. Their lunch special goes from 11 to 3 each day and I paid 575 for it. I really liked itperiod I was pleasantly surprised and because the outside of the building does not look the cleanest or the nicest it wasn't crowded I was the only one there it was pretty quiet in the restaurant itself the lady that waited on me was very friendly and she was super nice and gave me my meal. I ordered it was early they open at 11 I got there at about 11:10 I'd say I waited in their area for about 10 minutes and then she brought me my food. Brought it home and it was delicious I really liked it. The egg roll was primarily cabbage only which I'll give out about a two out of five that wasn't anything special the fried rice was good give out about a three out of five and in my general tso's chicken was very Saucy cooked well I'll give that four out of five so overall my experience I'll give a four out of five I will return and I highly recommend it. read more

Excellent food and customer service. We love the fried dumplings. The vegetable are always fresh and you can tell everything is made to order. The family who owns the restaurant is incredibly friendly. read more

I don't know HOW IN THE WORLD this place got 5 stars! Worst Chinese food I've ever had. I ordered the lo mein, egg roll, and pork fried rice. The lo mein was so salty I couldn't even eat it, the egg roll was pure grease, the pork in the rice was still pink and believe it or not the fortune cookie was STALE AS HELL! Will NEVER go back. Save your money. read more

Very tasty food and friendly service. The prices are great, the meals are prepared quickly, and the establishment and meal presentation are clean and attractive. I've enjoyed their food many times, dining in and also as carry-out, at which they are quite expedient. Great quality at this family-run restaurant. read more

When we moved we were so sad to leave our favorite Chinese restaurant that was near our house until we found this place. We've never ordered anything that we haven't liked and I have always received friendly service. We really like their fried pork dumplings! Bonus you can order online and they do offer delivery which was a lifesaver during my maternity leave in an area where the only other delivery is pizza. read more

I would give a 0 out of 5 stars if I could. I ordered food and they never delivered and the driver hung up on me.

I think the chick that gave it one star must have bumped her head. It's always clean, always fast, always friendly, they deliver, and it is as good or better than any fast food Chinese that I have eaten. read more

Delicious food at very nice reasonable prices! Best Chinese in this area - Shepherdsville or Mt Washington!
