I've been here once and ordered orange chicken with steamed rice to go. it was 10$, the rice was acceptable, the orange chicken was bland. Maybe there's something better here, but the o.c. wasn't it. read more

China Caff - Beef & brocoli combo $8.99! - Chinese Near Me - Merced, California

Really great food and amazing portions for the price. Glad to see that when most places just want to give you small portions for more money. The service was really great and the gentleman who helped me was very kind. Very clean and welcoming vibes and not too busy which I really enjoyed. read more

The wonton soup was delicious. They make homemade wontons for the soup. I also had the vegetable deluxe, and they were able to remove the garlic since it gives me heartburn. The broccoli, mushrooms, bok choy. and carrots in both the wonton soup, and vegetable deluxe were all fresh and perfectly cooked. My husband had the Kung Pao chicken and he enjoyed it. We got three things for $35.99 and the service was excellent. The water was ice cold and refreshing. It was very clean. read more

Favorite spot for old-fashioned Chinese. Huge portions in the combo meals. They are great for quick takeout but plenty of seating for dine in. They have been around for more than 20 years and the quality has been consistent. Prices are great! read more

Ok upon walking in I noticed immediately they had no customers at 12:30. I felt like I needed to run the other direction. The nice lady said they are slow today. I sat down and immediately grabbed my phone to look for ratings for this place. That is in a very odd location off the freeway. Upon reading a few reviews I realize that it seemed to be pretty good. The lady that took my order she doesn't have cups so she gave us a Styrofoam cup and a can of soda. She also serve food in a to go box as they don't have plates I guess. So many things were alarming me about this place but I will say that their orange chicken is absolutely amazing and has not come up out of the same hole that I consumed it through. Which is a really good thing. The pricing of the plate of food is alarming as well because it's so inexpensive. It concerns me as the plate of orange chicken with rice and chow mein was only eight dollars. I do believe that this place is located in a very poor place as they say it's all about location, location, location, and this place is suffering because they're in a bad location. Their food is outstanding and needs to be brought to everyone's attention so they can raise their prices and start making some money. The place isclean unless you go to the back to use the restroom and then you make it a little scared because it walks you through the storage/kitchen and it smells like they spilled something and didn't quite clean it up very well. But overall, it was a nice meal for a very cheap price. read more

Got food here for the first time last night. Service was fine. They have big blown up menus for you to look at if you're taking out which we did. I got the broccoli beef meal and it was super tasty! The chow mein was really good as well wish I had more of it! Unfortunately the fried rice wasn't as good as the rest of my dish. I think it had too much soy sauce in it so it was really salty. Probably just a random occurrence. We didn't dine there so not much to say about the building itself. Just that it's decent and the table layout was functional. Anyways I'd come here again to order food when I'm craving some Chinese food. read more

This is my place for a nice Chinese combo plate. My go to is the #1 garlic chicken with egg fried rice and chicken chow mein. They have all of the different combinations you want. Sweet and sour pork, come on, thats a nice plate too. You get a bunch of really good food for under $10. The lady who runs the front counter is the sweetest person you could meet. Always with a smile. Ample indoor seating and parking is no problem either. I have no idea who would choose Panda over China Caff. Get your plate here. No more wrong orders or all of the other bad stuff. Get good quality food at a great price. Family owned and operated. read more

The last time I had entered this establishment it's was Lee's Chinese Restaurant, I'm guessing about 40 years ago. Lees was fantastic‼ First off if you dine in your served in to go boxes, not a good sign. The fried rice has absolutely nothing except soy sauce. No onion, meat of any kind just straight up soy sauce. We were given plastic to dine with our to-go boxes although we dined in. That seemed hoodish but said fork did it's job. I ordered the Kung Pao chicken and it was not what I remembered (it's been decades since I've ordered it but) As I stated above the rice was bland at best. My first couple of bite of chicken were fair then it had a different taste, that was it for me. I finished my soy rice and called it a day. The love of my life ordered Beef Broccoli.. I'll just say she left the beef. It's not a place I'd return. I will say the establishment was spotless. read more

Hole in the wall spots tend to be the best, but not this place. Over all everything tasted bland and as if they haven't cleaned their kitchen in some time, do not eat here. read more

Everything was good making this my permanent place for Chinese food the next thing I wanna try is the orange chicken

I ordered from this place and I have ordered the chow mein vegetable and it's never looked like this so I had to give it a two star just because if you're going to see vegetables you need to at least have four types of variety and it's not having it the lady that's been answering the phone there has acted like she doesn't really know what she has on the menu that's very disappointing well to all you vegetarian is out there if you order from here make sure you tell them to add more vegetables because they're not adding What they should be I'm originally from the bay and I know the China restaurants put different varieties and their vegetable delight very disappointing read more

Finally a place that I can keep getting chow fun at! Some of the restaurants I've ordered chow fun from lately just haven't been getting it right. At those places, the noodles are not separated and end up being chewy in the middle and don't seem all the way cooked. Here, the noodles may still be a little chunky but at least they're all cooked through. They could add more sauce/cooking liquid so it's less dry but either way I'm glad I found this place. My boyfriend was happy with the garlic chicken. I tried it and the sauce was super flavorful, but I noticed that the breading was very soggy. I'm not sure if our food was sitting in the container for long, but our drive home was about 5 minutes? Maybe I'll try venting the to-go container a little next time on my way home. It looks like they've got some lunch specials too, I'll have to try those soon! read more

While I grew up in Merced I no longer live there but when I return whether its to visit friends, family, or something else I usually stop by and grab some grub. The service here is great and friendly as well as the food is delicious. My usual go to is their chicken chow mein, orange chicken and egg rolls. Even as the year past I feel as the food always never loses its yumminess. Plus I always enjoy helping out a local business vs big cooperations like panda express. read more

Family friendly , great food, and they accommodate to what you want. Always go here when I'm in town.

The best Chinese food in Merced. Super cheap and HEAPING servings. The owners are so sweet and work in house.

I just ate there Sunday I had the number 3 combination plate with orange chicken. Later that night I was extremely sick for two days. This is all I had to eat that day. I would not recommend them. read more

Came here around 4pm with my two kids and I have to say so far I think I've finally found the right Chinese restaurant after living here for one year. I had combo#14 and my daughter had combo#3 along with honey walnut shrimp and fried cream cheese wonton. Our dishes came out fresh and huge portions. Will sure come back again. Keep up the good work. read more

Good Chinese fast food. Owners are very nice and friendly. If you get to know them they give you more food than what they had already plated. Their fried rice is good. BIG proportions of food. Combo menus are the bomb since they consist of protein(s), fried rice and chow mien. It's also enough to last you for two meals about. Check it out if you can!! read more

I love love love this place! This is my to go to place! Guy who works the front is the sweetest guy ever the chow mein is delicious every single time! I would recommend to anyone ! read more

I'm a bit surprised that this place doesn't have many reviews. I've been here 3 or 4 times, and the food is decent. They give you a large portion size for a reasonable price. It's not top of the notch quality however. The fried rice is kind of dry and is nothing special. It fills you up and is better than DC food at UC Merced, but that's about it. Same goes for the chow mein. If you just want to fill your stomach up with food but not so much with taste, then this place is for you. :] read more
