I hate even writing this because China Restaurant in Mauldin has been my go-to Chinese place for probably 30 years, but something has definitely changed. The last few times just haven't been the same. The egg rolls are bland, the fried rice is just "meh," the crab rangoon tastes completely different, and the chicken dishes seem to be mostly fried breading with almost no actual chicken. This place has been a Mauldin staple for me forever, so I'm not trying to trash them--I'm genuinely disappointed because I've loved their food for decades. I don't know if ownership, cooks, recipes, or ingredients changed, but the quality just isn't what it used to be. Really hoping they get back to what made them so good for so many years read more

I have ordered here for five years and been satisfied. Today, 12/15/2025, I ordered Sesame chicken and General Tsao's chicken . Neither item looked or had the normal aroma. Both dishes were overcooked and over battered. My family commented immediately on the appearance of the food being unusual. After several bites (3) of them scraped their dishes into the trash. I tried to cut my chicken with a dinner knife. It was too tough. I got a steak knife and could cut it, but not chew it. I ate a small portion then threw mine out. Further the fried rice was not fried rice at all. I have recommended this restaurant, but something was very wrong today. read more

China Restaurant - General Tsao's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Mauldin, South Carolina

Friday was my first visit to this particular restaurant. Service was indeed fast. I ordered the vegetable fried rice, 8 wings and two vegetable egg rolls. Chicken (amazing) reminds me of the Chinese chicken from home (Chicago). Egg rolls (too greasy) not enough vegetables inside....looks like only cabbage. Vegetable fried rice (wasn't bad give it 6.5) they didn't have any bean sprouts (needed those bad). All in all I'd definitely go bad. This one is probably by far the closest to home I'll get. Overall food 8 out of 10. read more

Good food, good portion sizes. Maybe not the best place to eat in at but it's a great take out spot. read more

Very good food the closest to tasting like NYC Chinese food! And the food is always nice and hot too!

They have the BEST egg rolls! I will travel from across town for these egg rolls. I also love their House Fried Rice and my husband loves the fried chicken wings. read more

This was always our go to for Chinese. New owner took over June 1. There were errors in our order. Never an error with previous owner. We ordered beef and when we got home it was shrimp. Thank goodness I noticed since I am allergic to shrimp. I wanted to return it but to fight the traffic after we got home was not appealing. The employees did too much talking and not paying attention to what there were doing. We threw it away but did enjoy the pork fried rice. Egg rolls a bit greasy. We may have to find a new go to until they get things right. read more

Menu was a cluster. Price was outrageously high for quality of food. Portions were big but not worth it

The food is too spicy I ordered sesame chicken and it was so spicy I didn't order it spicy but I almost choked on it

The food was actually quite terrible. My husband picked it up so I can't comment on the ambiance or service, however I can imagine it's not great. Missing soup, egg rolls, and fried rice from our order. They used styrofoam to contain a VERY hot and sauce covered chicken dish which did NOT hold up in the bag and spilled everywhere. The chicken and cashew was 50% celery and carrot bits, too small to pick out if you don't like that flavor. The chicken was chopped into tiny bits as well. The teriyaki flavor is a joke. The flavor of the spare ribs and crab Rangoons also seemed off. The only thing I can compliment is the white rice.. but it's hard to mess that one up. read more

I always do pick up orders. Quick in and out and they always get the order correct. I like the food, but the jump in price limits me from ordering it there more often. read more

Order was correct. Ready in 15 minutes which was great. What would we order again? Sesame Chicken with White Rice Egg Rolls Fortune Cookies What would we not order again? Vegetable Fried Rice - No flavor. White rice dyed yellow with veggies thrown in. read more

I love this place. This is the best fast food Asian place ever. I always get the fried dumplings and an egg roll. Their specials are enough for two people to be more than full and it's so cheap. The check out staff is always friendly and so quick. I'm here every Sunday night. I cannot rave enough about this place. read more

This is our neighborhood Chinese place! It always slaps!! We've never eaten in the restaurant and have always ordered online and picked it up. Order is always fresh, and delicious and ACCURATE!! Egg rolls are bomb! I think the best days to order is Friday and Saturday because their cooks are the best those days (totally my opinion!) Highly recommend if you're looking for some good Chinese with a simple ordering process! Love the front desk staff too! Super friendly and quick! Solid joint for some good Chinese! read more

Fried chicken with lo mien never disappoints definitely recommend. I also recommend the sesame chicken I never had any issues with my orders

Not even dog food quality. Today's pick-up meal was the worst food presentation I've seen in the last five years from ANY restaurant. We've been patronizing this establishment for over twenty years. What used to be quite good has taken a nose-dive over the last twelve months. This afternoon's pickup consisted of two different meat choices with mixed vegetables and four egg rolls. The egg rolls were burnt (dark brown burnt) and terribly greasy; inedible. The "mixed veggetables" in both meals were largely devoid of carrots (mine had two slivers), snow peas (two), celery (two), baby corn (one), bell pepper slice (two), water chestnuts (two), mushroom slices (six) broccoli (six small pieces). All vegetables were so over cooked as to be mush and limp. No "stir-fry crunch" to anything. The food taste was so bad I had to eat a peanut butter sandwich afterwards to chase away the queeziness in my stomach. And I am respectfully not making any of this up. It was just terrible. However .. they did get the sticky-rice right. I called China Restaurant to complain and after being told the owner was not there, I had to tell the phone person my story, only to be handed off to the on-site manager to again tell my story .. only to be handed off to the owner (who must have just arrived) who didn't pick up at all. So I just hung up after being left on hold. To be fair they did offer to "trade out" my meal(s) for something else. But the foul feeling in my tummy just said "no". But no offer of refund. And not good for them .. they tried to hang the food quality (limp, brown brocolli) on me for letting the vegetables sit too long as if they could possibly have known how long it did/didn't sit. What do I know? Well, I spent over twenty years in the full-service food business before I retired and I know dog food when I see it. So after more than twenty years patronizing this establishment, you can stick a fork in me because I'm more than done. Never going back. The food was beyond lousy and it appears all these folks seem to want from a long term relationship with their customers is their last nickle. read more

Great food, but if you get the crab rangoons be sure they are freshly made because my order was cold. When I requested a new batch they were only partially cooked. Everyone has a bad day once in a while, but overall they have excellent food! read more

I've been hesitant on posting this but here it goes. We use to eat here a lot. At least twice a month. We normally have a tradition of getting Chinese food on Christmas Eve and this past year we made our typical comfort choices. I always get the House Mai Fun and always love it but this time I found some kind of caterpillar or large maggot in my food. It made me so nauseous that I threw it all out. Highly disappointed and I should report them to DHEC. read more

We just got home from a trip and wanted some chinese take out. Have lived here several years and never ordered from here. So glad we gave it a try. We ordered take out. They do have a sit down- dine in service as well. I am giving it 4 stars- because the food was ready, hot and was correct! We got the food home and we were stuffing ourselves and did not want to stop because it was so yummy. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken and grilled teriyaki chicken, with fried rice, egg rolls, and crab rangoon. They gave us tons of sauces and the meals were packaged all neatly. The sweet and sour chicken was not too bready- which was nice and the sauce was plenty- but on the side. The sesame chicken was not too spicy and that was AOK with me! I really enjoyed the grilled chicken and veggies- so crispy. I can not wait to order from here again. If you are hankering for chinese takeout, this is the place! read more

The food quality is very good authentic homestyle cooking! The Service is horrible when you make a call and phone order they will mess up your food it's best to just stand there and wait for it to be cooked look at it before you leave and make sure it's what you order! If you ask for things to be put in separate containers or boxes they will not do it they will say they'll do it but you will not receive it done it's almost as if they have fun listening to what you want and not following your direction! I've been eating here for almost 20 years and it's the same bad service very sad to say I keep coming back for the food not for the service! read more

The quality has gone down. Beef with broccoli was thick and gooey. It was always my favorite. Don't order online. They confirm one price and charge you a larger price when you pick up and pay. We complained and the did not care. Pork egg roll and fried rice was good. We will try another China in hopes their quality is still the same. read more

Ordered through Uber eats. Bag not stapled closed and food exposed. Missing food and no sauce at all. Food was ok but the one on woodruff is better. read more

I love the House Special soup. It's one of my favorite things to eat ever. I have never had a bad meal. Great for a call in place. I would eat in as it is very small. The Generals chicken is a must. I love there chicken egg Foo Young. Try it. By far one of the best places in Mauldin. read more

Very friendly and there doors are open for takeout during this pandemic serving the Mauldin area so I popped in and everything was great.

This used to be my go to Chinese restaurant but every since the staff has changed during the pandemic the food quality has decreased. I gave it 3 try's and every time the chicken was over cooked egg rolls over done crab Rangoon isn't the same I'm just so disappointed after I've been coming here for years and now I have to find a new place read more

This is the best takeout Chinese food in the upstate that I've had. I've ordered both takeout and delivery from here multiple times and it's ALWAYS incredibly fast and ALWAYS incredibly fresh/hot. The rice is java rice, which is traditionally Indonesian/Thai. Turmeric is what gives the rice it's yellow color (for those claiming this is "weird" or "mall food court quality"). No, it's not white rice but you can ask for white rice if that's your forte. You receive a large quantity each and every time which will fill you up for a decent price. My favorite item is their sesame beef and broccoli and my husband absolutely loves their hot and sour soup - I'd recommend both for sure. I can't speak highly enough about their timely delivery as well. They are lightning fast! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for Chinese food in the area. read more

Excellent food authentic taste also hot when i arrived and took out didnt spill i love the shrimp with broccoli lots of veggies and shrimp my new favorite Chinese restaurant they wrap it so it dosnt Spill before you get home. read more

Tried this place and my picky 8 yr old loved it! We usually can share a meal when we order Chinese. The wings were her favorite and I was so glad she couldn't get fries lol read more

I read all the positive reviews on here. My Chinese place was closed so I decided to give it a try. The best way to put it, is it was terrible. I live 6 miles away. It was all like warm. My husband ordered a spicey dish. It was sweet with no spice. Our company ordered beef with onions and chicken with cashews. The beef with onions was mostly onions and the cashew dish was packed with celery and hardly any cashews. My moo goo was flavorless. The egg rolls were fabulous Won't be back read more

Gross. Just gross. Not even edible. Don't waste your time, go someplace else. Wouldn't feed it to my dogs. They also messed up our order.

Visiting from Ca. This is my bf favorite place. So I thought I'd give it a chance.The service was great. Restaurant was clean. Staff was very friendly. Got home and the food was great until I saw a small roach in my rice. I had to throw my food away My bf was very sad because he goes there all the time and now does not want to go back. read more

Good food. Had take out and order was correct which is rare. Only negative, Egg rolls were a little dry.

This has been my favorite place for over 15 years . Recently ordered what I have repeatedly for the past 15 years and nope i don't know if they are under new management or what but I want old China back . Please and thank you read more

I'm a fan. Quick and easy take-out. It's always ready in 10 minutes and tastes great. We usually grab spare ribs, wonton soup and seasame chicken. It's always a notch better than other similar strip mall take-out places. read more

Never had a bad meal from here until yesterday. We found a fly in the rice. My Egg Foo Yung was totally burnt. It was a total waste of money spent last night! read more

Really good crab rangoon, but other dishes were sub par. Chicken chow mein was practically all cabbage, and their version of fried rice is so strange...its actually yellow rice with very sparse veggies. Cashew chicken was pretty bland and hard to find the chicken or the cashews! Will explore other restaurants in the future. read more

the food is really good. They can be little tight asses with their sauces and fortune cookies The prices rise as the years go by unfortunately. But I wish with the extra money they charge customers they would renovate and make it nicer and larger. read more

Be careful to check your take out order for accuracy and shortages. Our order was missing an entire entree so we called the restaurant and they said they would replace it. What a pain to drive back for their mistake. Upon arrival we asked for some white sauce to enjoy with our meals which we assumed they also forgot to put in the bag. They charged us .75 cents for each container totalling $1.62 for two. The food is above average but the portions are small and I've never been charged extra for white sauce after spending over $20 for dinner. Obviously, we won't hurry back with such poor service and the nickel and dime policies. Proceed with caution. read more

As far as takeout Chinese, this is the best choice in this part of town. Food is always freshly prepared and never a long wait at all. There is seating inside but overall is not very large. read more

Best wonton soup I have ever had, hands down. Much more flavor than standard issue takeout Chinese. We will be regulars! :)
