I think China Doll is in the top best Chinese restaurants in the city and surrounding areas. The portions are hefty and the food is typically served hot and fresh. I recently had dinner there. The employees were super friendly and seated us right away. I ordered the crab rangoons, general tso chicken, and shrimp fried rice. The crab rangoons do not lack filling! While the flavor is fine, I do wish the filling was a tad sweeter. The general tso chicken was as expected. I prefer mine a bit spicier but that didn't detract from overall flavor. The shrimp fried rice was a little bland. It definitely required soy sauce! The interior is quintessential OG Chinese restaurant. A bit rustic and dim. Beautiful and spacious. read more

Sophia and I decided to order dinner takeout from here during our trip here in Louisiana. The last time we ordered, both of us were disappointed with our selections. Unfortunately, this night wasn't much better. We called in our takeout orders which went off without any problems. Picking them up was seamless as well with the staff being courteous while dealing with other customers and setting up takeout orders nicely. My order for the evening was a dinner combo plate of sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and an egg roll (sweet and sour sauce on the side). It was a disappointment. The chiicken was good once dipped in the sauce which had a kick to it, but the rice was bland and the egg roll was soggy. I'm not sure if it was moisture caused by the foam container. I'm pretty sure they used to have the egg rolls packaged separately where they would be well kept, but it was a major letdown. Sophia had the same reaction with her selection and couldn't finish either. Any hope for a redemption was totally lost that evening. Needless to say, we won't be ordering here the next time we come home :( read more

China Doll Restaurant - Sweet and sour chicken dinner combo. A true disappointment :( - Chinese Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

Ordered the Moo goo gai pan and they forgot our white rice and portion seemed small. Also the eggrolls tasted gummy. Drove all that way just to be disappointed. Do not recommend read more

The best Chinese restaurant around. The sesame chicken is no longer on the menu, but you may still order it. We split one along with an order of fried rice and still have enough for dinner the next day. The servers are all experienced and friendly. read more

I took a chance and tried this place. I've never been able to find a good Chinese place that is similar or better than my hometown favorite place "China Star". Went here from a tiktok video and let's just say the plate I had was soooo good! They were super packed but it only took about 10minutes for my order. Staff was super friendly and they text you once your order is ready! I had the sweet and sour chicken plate, the egg roll was massive, it had all three meats (shrimp, chicken and pork. Rice didn't need any soy sauce! This is what I call good rice! Chicken sooo Crispy and a lot, two large fried chicken breasts, enough for 2. Will definitely be back to try the mandarin chicken. read more

China Doll Restaurant - Sweet & Sour Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

I ordered the lunch beef and broccoli and a hot and sour soup. Both were good. Not the best I've ever had but definitely not the worst. They compensate by providing very large portions so now I have lunch for another day as well. The lunch combo was around $15 with white rice and a side of Cho Cho which is their take on friend dumplings. It had shrimp, pork, and a few small green onions inside with a tangly light sauce. The beef was very tender and the broccoli was fresh and still had a nice crunch to it. It's work a stop if you're in that area. The to go service was polite and efficient. And the inside gives very much American Chinese food decor. Dark and dandy dining room with Michael Jackson playing on the radio. Over all I paid $25 including a tip. For two days worth of food-it's a win. read more

My favorite thing about China Doll will always be that is basically two meals. We've never finished our plates there we've always had it again for lunch or dinner the next day! Always great food and service too! Some of those women have worked there since I was a kid! haha That's awesome! read more

We just moved to the area and looked for a good Chinese Restaurant. This place had decent reviews and we were excited to try it out. I stopped in for a takeout order and it was just not good at all. Maybe not takeout and try eating in. Was very disappointed. read more

Writing this review post nap because woosh. I heard about this place from a coworker so while on this side we decided to try it out. First, it was packed in there but we received service promptly. The waiter was really nice when he arrived. Off to the food! O.m.g. I am a firm believer in another spot in Nola but this place is just as great. We got the dark meat boneless chicken with vegetables and the sweet and sour chicken. The batter and the cook of the chicken straight perfection. The rice top tier as well. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was hubs sweet and sour sauce. Good came out fast and hot. I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it. If near the area this is a must try. All the pics and two drinks at lunch came out to 30 bucks pre tip. read more

Girls night and we were so pleased with the waitress she was so sweet especially to explaining the different meals. Will def go back

I ordered shrimp fried rice from China Doll and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. It was very bland and not at all what I remember or expected. They shouldn't have sent this out of the kitchen. A total waste of my money. Also, where is the shrimp? I promise I only ate like 3. read more

I went to China Doll in Harvey and had a terrible and dangerous experience. When my daughter ordered, I specifically asked the waitress multiple times if the two items she was choosing between had sesame or nuts, because she was allergic. Then I went to explain her allergy is sensitive and can be triggered if they use the same cooking utensils or pots. When my daughter got her food she ate one of her ribs that she really enjoyed then took a bite of her rice and had an immediate allergic reaction. The waitress came over and we asked if there is sesame and she said we cook most things with sesame oil, she thought I said sesame seeds, which I never do because I know a lot of asian restaurants use sesame oil. I had to rush to get her a Benadryl at the shell gas station and since she couldn't eat anything there we went to Chick-fil-A. I went back to try and enjoy my food with my family and my food was cold by then. When we got the bill we asked the waitress to remove the rib dinner, and she refused because she ate one rib and her step father had one. We explained that was not good enough, and she said she could take half off. Then I asked to speak to the manager who finally took the cost of her plate off. If this was one of her more severe allergies, I would have had to administer an epi pen and spend the night in the hospital. Neither the waitress or the manager expressed apologies, but instead seemed annoyed at their mistake that could have really hurt my child. read more

Great food it's my favorite Chinese restaurant place on the westbank the drinks are amazing amazing too

This restaurant is terrible. If your are not white you will be served last. Brought my family out to eat they served 3 white tables before they served our table and they brought me and my wife food before they our kids their food this restaurant is horrible!!! read more

China Doll has been a family favorite since I was a child. Be it birthdays, graduations or date night, it is the perfect place for it all. My go-to dish is boneless chicken with double rice and a Mai Tai. My second favorite? Shrimp with Lobster Sauce...talk about good. The staff is pretty much the same and the service is friendly and consistent. The fish tank is still there as is the bead curtain at the front of the restaurant. Everything I have grown to love about China Doll I can now share with my family. read more

Hadn't been here since the 90s but we were in the area and decided to check k it out. Nothing has changed over the past 25 years and that's a good thing! I love their crab rangoons, and their hot and sour soup and empress lo mein are great as well. My wife is a Mandarin chicken fiend and appreciated that they still serve it the old school way with lettuce underneath, topped with green onions and sliced almonds, though she didn't care for the gravy. I really like their cho cho and fried rice, too. Portion sizes were HUGE - I have an enormous appetite and even I couldn't finish. read more

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants on the West bank. The food is outstanding. I started with the hot and sour soup. I then had the lunch special of General Tso's chicken. The portions are huge and you will need to take home leftovers for an additional meal. The service is SO fast that my soup arrived, and then almost immediately thereafter, my lunch arrived. Next time, I will order the soup and then, when that arrives, i will order my lunch special. The prices are good too. read more

This place is a staple in the community! The food is delish and has been since I was a teenager, the service is always nice and the ambiance is nice and inviting family friendly. The restaurant can get busy at peak times but always worth the wait. The prices are budget friendly and you always receive more than enough food! Fav go to restaurant after a long day at work and nothings cooked at home. read more

I ordered mandarin chicken. Apparently it wasn't what I thought it was. I received TWO tempura fried chicken breast fillets (sliced) with brown gravy on the side. The shrimp fried rice that came with it was the best I've ever eaten. I didn't not care for the chicken or the gravy. The service was wonderful and prices were as expected. read more

The past few times whether take out or eat in have been uneventful as far as flavor goes. I don't know what has happened, because it used to be the best Chinese on the Westbank. Now, it has no flavor or a bad flavor. I love egg drop soup, but this one is less soup and more egg. I guess we will have to start trying places across the river where there is flavor to its food. read more

Went to China Doll. Originally being from NOLA and having lived in San Diego for 26 years, it was nice to come back home and get one of my all time favorite dishes. See in San Diego Mandarin Chicken is fried Chicken bathed in a sweet red sauce. It's bad. In New Orleans we just do it a different way and if you know you know. Brown gravy over Fried Chicken over a bed of lettuce. And China Doll's was done perfectly. Not to mention the service was very good. The waitress was on time with everything from drinks to the food to the check. The setting and coziness of the restaurant was quaint and very quiet. read more

My first time eating China Doll. It was terrible. I got Kung Bo chicken to go. It had no flavor and very bland. This dish is supposed to be spicy. I think they forgot to put spices in it. I have never in my life had cauliflower in this dish. Will not eat there again and I do not recommend it. read more

I thought this place was great--hot & sour soup is tasty, chicken & broccoli portion was massive. White rice was tender and cooked properly. I also tried the "Cho Cho's," which I had never heard of, but apparently they are kind of like a fried wonton filled with meat, shrimp, etc., and seasoned with some kind of mild ginger/cardamom kind of spices--pretty unique. Would recommend. read more

The food is awesome! The service is excellent!!!!ambiance is also great. Highly recommend! Great mai tai too! Get one you won't be disappointed !!!! read more

Went to China doll on yesterday. I've been going there for years, but I was checking some things out around me every time I go they put us in the back so I told the lady I didn't wanna sit in the back so they put us out front so I paid attention as time went on. We got food but I noticed all the Black people they bring them to the back all the Caucasians persuasion goes in the front so I've been going there for years. It's the first time yesterday that we sit in the front. So I paid attention to that not saying their races. It seem kind of strange to me. read more

OMG! Those cho-cho's....oooooh, those cho-chos, they will never, ever, ever, ever, (one more time), ever disappoint. I just placed an order for two cho-chos and baby let me tell ya, they are still as good as they were pre-COVID. Those cho-chos are like, "COVID won't stop me from tasting good, humph!" Ha,ha,ha,ha! Seriously, China Doll has some of the most amazing and authentic Chinese food on the Westbank and I'll definitely support them because they take pride in producing delicious food. If you haven't had a cho cho from here, you're missing out! Stop by and try one. read more

China Doll Restaurant - Boneless chicken w Double shrimp fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

I've dined at China Doll since elementary school! I even worked here for one summer during high school taking "To-Go" orders. The owners and their daughter were always so sweet and caring during my time there. There's not much I can add that hasn't been said to highlight the high quality and consistency of food at China Doll. As a former employee the one thing that sets China Doll apart is the cleanliness of this restaurant from front to back. My favorite items from the menu are the shrimp fried rice and Cho Cho. The shrimp fried rice filled with shrimp and the rice boiled perfectly not gummy at all. The Cho Cho is always fried to perfection and crispy. It's even tasty the day after. During Covid, indoor dining is restricted however the take out counter is open and very efficient. All employees wore masks and plexiglass placed at the take our counter. read more

I walked in and was met with a line. I asked for a Togo menu while I waited, but was pointed to a paper menu taped to the wall. I took a picture of the menu with my phone and waited back in line. Although taken back with the immediate experience, once it's your turn to order, the workers are very nice and pleasant from taking your order to giving your order. I'm looking for a general tso spot on the westbank and wanted to give this a try. I got home was surprised. Normally general tsos would come with broccoli, but this one from China doll had onions and green bell peppers. It was an off-putting experience. I'll be continuing my search for the best general Tsos chicken on the West Bank. read more

I crave Cho Cho. Everything else doesn't compare. The egg is nice. The fried rice is fried rice. The Cho Cho is amazing. Typically I order 2 orders of Cho Cho and I don't wanna be bothered. However sometimes the Cho Cho isn't crispy, I guess the cook is busy. The condiment sauce that comes with Cho Cho is really good although I prefer the Cho Cho as it comes, sauce not needed. I May end up getting some this evening because of this review. read more
