China rose is my go-to Chinese fast food! The prices here are great and the flavors are pretty good and consistent and that keeps me coming back. Some of my favorites are the walnut shrimp, sweet and sour pork, Mongolian beef, and the chow fun with gravy sauce. The only complaint is the portion size to some of their items. That could explain the pricing. I never dined in so service and ambiance are something I can't comment on but Uber and door dash delivery orders have been consistent. read more

We had Chinese food the night before and were still craving more, so we decided to try this place on the way home from my daughter's school. The three entrée deal caught our eye: $28.95 for three dishes, rice, and soup of the day. The Shanghai-style sweet and sour spareribs were very good and our favorite of the order. The salt and pepper fish fillet wasn't bad. The salt and pepper pork came with more vegetables than we expected, and the pork had red specks that surprised us. The soup of the day was hot and sour soup. It was okay, but my husband wasn't a fan. Overall, it's a pretty good deal for the price. read more

26 years ago, this location was home to China Garden, owned by a wonderful woman named Julie. She was one of the sweetest and most welcoming people my wife and I ever met. The food was excellent, and we became regulars for nearly two years. When the restaurant closed, we were genuinely heartbroken because we lost both a favorite place to eat and someone who made every visit special. When China Rose opened, we admittedly had a hard time giving it a chance because of the connection we had with the previous restaurant. Fast forward more than 20 years later, and after hearing many positive comments from friends and community members, we finally decided to try it. The menu is extensive and offers plenty of traditional Chinese dishes, which was a plus. Unfortunately, our first visit did not leave the best impression. The fried egg rolls looked perfectly crisp on the outside, but the filling was noticeably cold. The Chinese chicken salad tasted fine, but the portion was much smaller than we expected. The pork fried rice had good flavor, but it arrived only warm rather than fresh and hot. The biggest disappointment was the sesame chicken. It looked great and had good flavor, but several pieces were cold in the middle, which left us confused and disappointed. In terms of service... We asked three separate times for a glass of water and never received it. The staff was not rude, but it was frustrating to be overlooked on such a simple request. Imagine eating poor different dishes and not even getting water or just being forgotten about a simple request. My wife and I actually just got out of work both of us working in eight hour shift with a long commute and we were pretty hungry so just the fact that we barely ate half of everything and took the rest home. It was such a heartbreaker to have to write a review like this. To be fair, the leftovers actually tasted pretty good the next day, and it's clear this restaurant has been a longtime staple in the community. Unfortunately, based on our first experience, the inconsistent food temperatures and lack of attention to service make this a place we do not plan on returning to. read more

I'd rate this a 3.5, but rounding up because the food was decent overall. BEEF FRIED RICE: Lots of wok hei and good flavor! They actually mince the beef, which I have never seen before but it makes so much more sense because the meat was seasoned well and each bite would likely have protein scooped with it. CHICKEN CHOW MEIN: Also had wok hei, however the ratio of veggies to noodles was disappointing. Otherwise, this would have been a winner too. SALT AND PEPPER FISH: The portion was a little smaller than we're used to from other establishments and a little over fried, but still not too bad. DRY SAUTEED STRING BEANS: I can't put my finger on the flavor, might be a little bit of Szechuan pepper as well as minced pork, but it was a nice change from regular garlic. Husband liked this a lot. Their food is a tad oily, but their flavors are good overall. We ordered for takeout and they were friendly upon pickup. Will return when we're in the area and craving Chinese. read more

After watching a movie at the Great Mall, we were craving chinese food for dinner. Yelp reviews led me to China Rose, reviewers said the food is tasty. When we arrived, there were two women playing a game at one table, and a man eating alone. We waited a few minutes, before one of the women, said pick a table. We sat ourselves. The ladies collected their things, one went behind the the counter, the other went in the back. The man later on, got up, and went in the back too. A young man came out with menus, and a hot pot of tea. The young man was friendly. I notice the spout on the tea pot looked black. I thought it was stained. After I served a cup, my son said please don't drink that tea. The young man came back and took our order, he was nice. We ordered Mongolian Beef, Lemon Chicken and Bbq Pork Chow Mein. The service was fast, and the food came out quickly, and we both thought it was tasty, and a good portion of food. Unfortunately, I have photographic evidence of poor food safety. My curiousity got the best of me at the end of our meal, and I used my napkin to rub the blacken tea spout, and it transferred onto the paper napkin. It made me question how clean it was in the back, were the food is handled. We had already eaten our share. The young man was hustling about bagging to-go orders. I got up to pay at the counter, but the young lady did not acknowledge me, she never looked up or made eye contact, and was behaving as if I was not standing in front of her. She actually started pounding on the calculator with her finger, like she was angry. Weird. The young man came out, took the calculator from her, and totalled up my order, never acknowledging her weird behavior. He was so nice, smiling, friendly. The vibe here is so off. Please check out my pictures of the teapot. The next day my tummy was fine, no sign of food contamination, but I will not eat here again. read more

We've lived in the area for more than 20 years and have been to Smart & Final and Little Caesars Pizza many times but didn't think to try China Rose until recently. I ordered Mongolian Beef and Seafood Hot & Sour Soup for delivery. I was pleasantly surprised. The Mongolian Beef was flavorful and actually spicy! I live for spice! Seafood Hot & Sour Soup was just as good. The portions were very generous and price was super affordable even for it being delivered by Grubhub. I will definitely be trying their other dishes in the near future when I am craving Chinese food :) read more

This has been my go-to Chinese spot in Milpitas. The food is consistently excellent, and the restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating and ample parking. I usually place my orders by phone, and they're always punctual never had any issues. My favorite dishes are the broccoli with garlic and the shrimp fried with eggs. Highly recommend! read more

Good Chinese food in Milpitas! My party of four was promptly seated by the friendly waitress, and we didn't wait long for our food. The food came out great, with shareable portions. We'd especially recommend the mongolian beef and ma po tofu. 100% coming back to this spot! read more

China Rose - I know it's cheap but this is really the worst chow fun I ever have in my life, it has no taste and the noodles just sad. - Chinese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Food is home cooked style so it's not as greasy. Service is good. Family run. Place is not crowded since it's a low key restaurant. Nice ambience if you want a quiet Chinese eat out place. They serve complimentary Chinese tea - very very helpful in winter. Occasionally they have tour group diners. Overall it is a lovely place to enjoy a good time out with your family. read more

I went there for a fried rice to go. The price on the menu stated $11.95. The front desk guy with glasses charged me $14.16. I was a bit shocked. I am suspicious with 10% tax, it won't be that much. Then, I asked the guy why it was that much. He told me after tax. Then, he showed me on calculator $12.95+tax it came out right. But, I told him it is $11.95. He told me the to go menu price is outdated. Have to see the dine in menu. Then, we looked at the dine in menu and it is still $11.95. Then, he has to ask the owner about it. The owner rectified him. Finally, he returned a $1 to me. Overall, it is not about the $1 difference. It is about the ethical practice of him. First, he charged me the wrong price. Then, he did not even apologized afterwards. Also, he did not give me any utensils and napkins for my to go order. The owner needs to get rid of this idiot. read more

Bad service. Too many doordash customers. Food was not that good. Shrimp was too salty to eat.

As for food, $30 for three entrees, plus a container of rice and soup? Unbeatable prices! Good flavors, can't tell if there's MSG or not but I didn't feel like they use it or much of it, since it's not noticeable with my usual symptoms after msg consumption. (Not feeling tired nor thirsty). Portions her is a little smaller compared to other places. But you get what you pay. As for service, I won't even rate it... Put it that way, I'm happy with my take out food orders. Parking is easy and food is ready in a timely manner each time. Will keep coming when need something fast to go. read more

China Rose - Dry Beef Chow Fun J5. Fried String Beans with Minced Pork and Chili Peppers Chicken Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Milpitas, California

This place does not know what it wants to be. I remembered it as an authentic Szechuan place and ordered the boiled beef, Szechuan shredded pork and the smoked pork with celery and wood ears. The best tasting dish was the shredded pork except they made it like Mongolian beef, just with pork. The other dishes were mediocre and had a ton of large chunky tasteless celery. Won't be back. read more

10/10 food service came out so fast, super nice and hot, & most of all delicious. My favorite that I feel like anybody has to try is the Shanghai Ribs, the ribs is super crispy and tasty.

I had a worse experience today in this place. I ordered food, and my pick-up time was at 12:14 PM. I arrived around 12:15, and the front desk lady said the food was not ready. I waited ten more minutes and asked her when the food would be ready. She said, 'I don't know.' I waited another ten minutes and asked her the same question; she said she still didn't know. Then I asked her, "Can you bring someone who can tell when the food will be ready?" She yelled at me, saying, "I said, 'I don't know. '" After some time, she literally threw the food on the table next to me and walked away. I asked her if that was my food, but she didn't respond. And I asked her again, she yelled back, telling 'YES!!!'. I just picked the food and walked away. I would never revisit this place. read more

China Rose serves very good Chinese food at reasonable price. The service was good. Our server was attentive and answered questions about items on their menu. English isn't their first language but she got assistance from the manager or owner if she couldn't understand our question. The ambiance is basic with pictures of their signature dishes on the walls. Beef chow fun - 5/5 The beef was tender and there was no bean sprouts, but shredded cabbage instead. The chow fun noodles were fresh with the perfect firmness and not too soft or mushy. The chow fun was very good with flavors of a seasoned wok. I would order the beef chow fun again. To go order - Mapo tofu - 5/5 & Chinese broccoli - 3/5 The Mopo tofu was excellent. Not too spicy and very savory. The majority of the tofu in this dish did not fall apart. A definite winner! The Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce was too hard and crunchy for my mom. I tried it and it was a little undercooked. It could have been cooked a little longer for the perfect tenderness vs hard crunch. It may be China Rose's way to prepare CHinese broccoli. If you order the Chinese broccoli at China Rose, be sure to let your server know how you would like your Chinese broccoli cooked. China Rose is a very good restaurant that prepares good Chinese food. Give China Rose a try. read more

China Rose - Dry Beef Chow Fun - Chinese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Economical, no frills Chinese food. China Rose is located in the Foothill Square Shopping Center in a quiet residential neighborhood of Milpitas. After seeing some pictures posted by several Yelpers recently, I decided to check them out on 08/06/2022. The owner was taking a phone order when I walked in at 5:45 pm. There were only a few customers either dining in or waiting for their takeout. The interior was clean and bright with simple decorations. The vibe reminded me of a neighborhood family restaurant. I ordered two sets of their 3-dish family meal ($25.95 cash/$27.95 CC), plus a dish of Shredded Pork in Hot Garlic Sauce ($10.95). Each set came with rice and hot and sour soup. The total, with tax, was less than $70. Very reasonable in today's economy. Below is what I got: Broccoli Beef - Beef was tender and the broccoli florets were fresh. I loved that they put lots of chopped garlic in the dish. Black Bean Chicken - Surprisingly good. Lots of tender chicken. Not too saucy. Beef Chow Fun - Not good at all. The taste was bland and the noodles were clumped together. Very stingy on the beef. Sweet and Sour Spareribs - Excellent despite the stingy portion (box was half full). They were done Shanghainese style. The taste was very balanced. Shredded Pork and Bean Curd Stir-Fry - Nice, light dish that was not too greasy. Salt and Pepper Fish Fillet - Good. Very crispy exterior. Could use a bit more salt and pepper seasoning. Shredded Pork in Spicy Garlic Sauce - Nicely done dish. Very spicy and garlicky. The portions varied between dishes, but for the price they charged it was expected. Service was very good. The owner and his staff were polite and welcoming. They packed everything neatly and double-checked my order before handed it to me. All things considered, I like this place despite a few misses. The food was mostly good and you definitely can't beat the price. 3.5 rounding up to 4 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - Cash and major credit cards accepted. - Ample parking on site. read more

Great and really affordable food! This restaurant has a large menu and serves a variety of dishes. The food is definitely worth it!

Did you change your cook? I remember your food used to be much better.

Everything is still great just portions seem to be smaller especially the fried rice portions.

What a deal. 3 dishes with rice and soup for $27.20 total. That's cash with tax This is probably the best deal in town. I have been coming here for the deal for the past few yrs especially during covid... A neighborhood spot in a residential strip mall on Jacklin The food is somewhat a little bit more American Chinese. The sweet and sour spareribs has more sweet and sour sauce that is more Americanized...it's all good The beef also tend to have a little more corn starch thick sauce than usual. Again, it's all good String beans also good. Decent food quantities as well. Took the pic after I started eating so there is some bones and half the soup...don't get the wrong idea. Again, great deal and good food. Now I need to include this place again in the monthly rotation and come more often read more

China Rose has been here for years, yet I think we only ate here once years ago. Was looking for a new place to try this past weekend and saw that they offer a 3 item family combination for $24 if you pay cash, $26 if you pay with credit card. Their meal also comes with the soup of the day and rice included. Always order over the phone vs online, it's cheaper and goes directly to the restaurant. We tried the ma pa tofu, sweet and sour pork, lemon chicken, beef chow fun, salt and pepper fish, and Chinese greens with garlic. Ma pa tofu - pretty spicy but cooked well Sweet and sour pork - too much breading Lemon chicken - too much breading too Beef chow fun - yum, this one was good Salt and pepper fish - where's the salt and pepper? Chinese greens with garlic - these were cooked pretty well. Overall the food was decent but next time would probably skip on the fried/breaded meats. They need to be eaten fresh to stay crunchy and there was too much breading on the outside. For the price, you can't beat it around the San Jose/Milpitas/Fremont area though and portions are good size! read more

Update 4/29/21: Ordered 3 different dishes and todays order was better than the first time I ordered take out Spicy Ma Pa Tofu (4/5): I asked them to make this extra spicy and they made this dish good here Kung Pao Chicken (3/4): somewhat oily but flavorful with a mix of veggies Fried String beans with garlic (3/5): I had to order at least one main veggie dish so I feel semi healthy even though this was fried. I would definitely order the spicy ma pa tofu again and the string beans. For the price, you can't beat it. I was originally going to order 3 lunch specials but the lunch special doesn't include the soup for Take out orders. The family combination deal was bigger portions and came with the hot and sour soup for a better price. Good value for price. read more
