This place is a gem for me because of their price. For $6.25 i got a bowl of salad, egg drop soup, a bowl of rice, and mongolian beef dish. They all tasted good. And a very friendly and kind staff. What more can you ask for? If you are looking for a chinese lunch special, give these guys a visit. For the price, you wont be disappointed. read more

Loved the food and the service here. Needed a gathering place for dinner with my cousins in Milpitas, and agree with all the good reviews on the food. Service was attentive and gave good recommendations. The seafood roll was a delicious treat that's a specialty of this place. We had American-born Chinese and native Chinese, and all enjoyed the meal. Couldn't tell from the reviews whether this space would work for our party of 10, but there was enough room for our group along with other guests. Thanks Yelp for helping us find this place for our occasion. read more

Thanks to yelp, I did not miss this Chinese restaurant. It is located in the plaza with a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop. Great antithetic Cantonese food with a lot of delicious choices on their menu! I tried ZhongShan-style Stir-fry Seafood with vegetable, Portuguese baked chicken rice, and Eight Treasure Tofu Stew Pot for the first visit. They are all pretty good. They provide steamed live fish from Friday dinner to Sunday and slow-stewed special soup from Thursday dinner through weekend. I will definitely come back on weekends and bring my friends there since I have so many ideas on ordering from their menu. read more

Coffe ribs excellent, mongolian beef, lemon chicken, kung pao chicken, beef flank soup, all hot, tasty, tremendous job by the kitchen. Christmas day not busy and food is excellent. read more

First time ordering to go here and there was a confusion when I got there due to my internet order NOT going through but they were NICE about it. So, I reordered the "Tomato Beef Chow Mein" and it was delicious.. The service was quick and nice/polite..Will definitely come back. Will have to try other things from here later on. The price is right. read more

Depending on the depending on the service.... If u come in and the short girl and kid with glasses is there run the other way.... I had to send a glass of water away 3 times because bit had black shit in the bottom of... Food is always good just service lacks a bit read more

We found this place a few months ago, oh boy, no need to go all the way to Castro in Mtn View anymore. Joy! My kids love the egg shrimp chowfun, and we ordered several of these each time. Last time we were there, the owner/manager stepped outside the back to smoke, but left the door open. It was near the end of our dinner so we quickly left. The next two times, we ordered the same egg shrimp chowfun to go. Last week was my daughter's birthday and she requested this dish. We order 3 chowfuns, two shrimp and one beef, with wonton soup and stir fry vegetables. My wife picked them up, and brought it home to discover that the shrimp chowfun has no egg. I called back and the waiter told me that I ordered a dry chowfun. First of all, I never heard of a dry chowfun nor do i know that there is such a thing on their menu. Second, my wife and I were on the phone to order the food together (I conferenced her in because she knows what the kids would like to eat). And she corrected him right away because she mentioned the egg shrimp chowfun on the phone). I asked to talk to the manager and he came on the phone saying that he doesn't want to get in between his words and my words (oh really?) So he said that he will help me by giving me half off the chowfun dishes, or he can deduct them from our bill if we bring them back. I told him that I am in a private event in Great America and I can't bring them back. He insisted that I returned his food if he is taking them off our bill. Then he said that he can send someone over to Great America to pick up the food because he can use it (he said immediately on the phone when first picking up the call that they ran out of chowfun). It didn't dawn on my later that geez, they want to get them back quick so they can sell these wrongly made chowfuns to others. Good going! you just gave away your secret. Few minutes later, my wife called and told me to call them back to say that we are packing the entire order up to return to them. They said that unless we bring all of the food back, and the manager said that we better not eating one bite on these food dishes or he won't give us back our money. He said that he is trying to help us out here, so make sure we don't eat them and return. Really, you made the wrong dishes and you are helping me by asking for me to bring them back intact? What about a birthday party for a 9 year old without her favorite dish? The next day I bought everything back, and he said that just like Costco, if you want your refund you need to bring back everything. I said that you are not Costco, and these are perishable foods, not returnable to the vendors. He said yea, but it's the principle. Sure, my principle is to make sure that you are asking for the entire order back untouch after picked up by your customer so you can re-use or resell them. Nice. Update: 5/25/18. No Mr. Bob. Check your menu, There is only ONE chowfun with shrimp and it has egg. There is no other chowfun with shrimp that does not have egg. How do I know there is another one without egg to order? We ordered this same one every single time we patronage your place so now it's a different dish that we don't know how to order? You tried to weasel out of this one at the time, and now you tried again. It's exactly what I stated, and you can't admit that you guys made a mistake. You offered a refund, with a string. You expect people to bring back your food INTACT before you can give a refund of a wrong order. Most restaurant of decent caliber would admit it and either offer a refund no question asked, or perhaps a remake of the same thing but done right. No, you want your dish back. You know the trouble to order, go pick up, and then pack up to go back and return? Even if you offered to send someone out to pick them up, that's fishy. Why do you really need to get them back is beyond me, except like I said, you want to resell them to other people. read more

Ordered delivery; they were on time; food was absolutely excellent; Hot and ready to eat; everything from broccoli beef, sweet and sour pork, Eggrolls, and vegetarian fried rice; wonderfully seasoned, no oily are greasy taste Gayl read more

Fair prices for food and Kung pao chicken is off the hook! I was however a little disappointed with their won ton soup, a lot of MSG and I am a big big msg hater because it dry up my mouth and give me headache. Other then that this place is pretty good overall for dinner and dim sum. Will definitely return read more

Great service. Very helpful. They did everything to make our dinner pleasant. Eat here 2 times a week

WARNING!!!! If I could give this place negative stars I would! This review is long overdue. My sister and I were craving chinese food late afternoon and it just so happened we were in the area and spotted China Rose, it was about an hour before closing time so the restaurant was pretty empty. First off the glasses they gave us for our drinks were DIRTY, which should have been a red flag but I was so hungry I didn't care (bad idea) We ordered the fried wontons and veggie eggrolls for appetizers, veggie chow mein, and the pork fried rice. Everything tasted okay, nothing spectacular, we ended up taking most of it home. I was fine that night until the next morning, I woke up feeling light headed and with a fever, I stayed in bed up until 2:00 in the afternoon (after calling out sick for work) I was sweating like crazy, I got out of bed only to puke my guys out and ended up at the hospital on IV. It was food poisoning, my sister was fine because she hadnt eaten the pork rice, which was what I kept vomiting through out the day. Horrible experience, lesson learned! THEY SERVED ME OLD/BAD MEAT!!!! I WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! read more

So disgusted with the customer service. They said it would take 10 minutes but it took so long. Usually take out food is pretty fast going in and out especially if you are the only one in there. I left and came back in 15 minutes , I saw an order to go on the table and figuring I only saw one person come in I thought it was mine. Make sense right? Well I went to read the paper on the bag to see what it was and the lady stopped me and said "that's not your order,". She had a rude look on her face like reading the paper was a crime. Then the guy next to her, the host, said just a little longer. I waited and finally when it was done the lady came out and just threw my food on the table . The man quickly grabbed it and gave it to me telling me to have a good day. He was pretty nice but that lady's attitude was down right unacceptable and where I work I make sure to help people with a positive attitude even if they are rude. After all that I looked into my bag and she gave me egg rolls instead of spring rolls. This small trip left me unhappy. read more

Overall, a pretty average restaurant serving szechuan style food. Pretty good food, nothing special, most dishes can be found in most other szechuan restaurants. But, there is one dish that make me wanna come back, the deep fried baby back ribs. The ribs are so tender and juicy and the meat falls off da bone. Not to mention all the spices they put on the ribs. Yummm...... read more

I ordered three vegetarian dishes, got home to find that all my dishes had pieces of meat in them. This is not acceptable, the food wasn't all that great either. I would never go here again and don't recommend it to fellow vegetarians. read more

Best Chinese food around! Very delicious and fresh made to order food. They will even take requests that are not on the menu which is wonderful. My current favorites are Mongolian Beef, and Mixed Vegetables with Fish Filet (cod). Very nice family owned place. read more

The soup was a little bit to strong for my taste and too sour. But the food was great the appetizer was the salad that they give me was a bit to acidity but overall the food was amazing. read more

Tried this place for the 2nd time yesterday. Ordered the War Won Ton soup, which was good, but the broth was kind of boring. We also ordered chicken chow mein, but it came with the flat noodles, so we didn't like it. The lady there said they ran out of the other noodles, wouldn't that have been something you'd tell the customer when they ordered? The food just isn't that good, but it's not crowded!! read more

Awesome new owners, awesome food! I love the peanuts they serve you while you are waiting/deciding to place your order. Good stuff! Great family restaurant, friendly and tasty food. Highly recommended!! read more

I have never went to the old china rose but I like the floor instead of dirty carpet other restaurants have. As the others have said, I enjoyed the peanut. I ordered coffee ribs and ginger green onion beef (I have no idea if I am right or wrong about the name). Those are good and I am definitely coming back. read more

i agree with one of the previous post. the orange chicken was bland and the chicken consistency is off - at one point it had the consistency of squid. is it real chicken? i dont know. also i just asked for chow fun with beef, why did you give me chow mein? i almost question how they got it wrong when there's someone in front checking off the food with the order. so disappointed... read more

When my husband wanted Chinese for our Friday night out I suggested China Rose. The evening before I had been grocery shopping at the Nob Hill that is in the same little shopping center and smelled some new deliciousness wafting through the evening air. It was a yummy fried noodle smell, but without the typical oiliness I was used to getting. Checking with Yelp, this new aroma made sense since others had noted that management had recently changed. The restaurant was pretty full when we arrived but we were seated right away. The waiter quickly brought a small dish of sweet-salty peanuts with little dried fish bits (yum!) and a big pot of tea. We enjoyed the house fried noodles - the thinner Cantonese style - that my husband was craving, as well as the Braised Tofu with Rock Cod in Clay Pot which was flavorful and hearty. Both dishes were a good size. Not a lot of veggies in either of these as it turned out so we'll have to check out some of those dishes later. (The veggie list is long and varied with some offerings that are new to me. I am excited by the potential!) Service during the meal was quick and friendly. When we had finished eating the waiter brought some orange wedges and the (very reasonable) bill came with fortune cookies. We thanked them on the way out and they gave us the take-out menu and let us know that they are closed on Tuesday. read more

Grade C for service. B+ for food. Got the spicy chicken lunch special - tasty but small portion. Low price justifies the portion size. I wouldn't mind paying a dollar more for normal portion. A bit slow in the service. May try again but could be better. Not sure why other guests rate them 4 stars. read more

I was looking for a chinese restaurant to try in Milpitas instead of always going to the McCarthy/Ranch 99 area. Checked on Yelp and this restaurant had great reviews but when I got to the restaurant they said that they had just opened 2 weeks ago so I was puzzled. I was kind of hesitant thinking I made a mistake coming here since we were the only table at 12:30 on a weekend. It turns out they changed management but retained the name "China Rose". The owner and his wife were very nice and recommended dishes that I should try but I just ordered the Seafood Chow Mein which was very fresh and the noodles very crunchy, Beef Chow Fun was not oily like most and Dry Scallop White Egg Yolk Fried Rice was pretty good. I'm pretty picky about my chinese food but since my 1st experience with this restaurant was positive I will definitely go back again and try their dinner. It was probably empty since the restaurant is under new management and lots of people like myself are hesitant to try new restaurants. read more

Great vegetarian dishes. Spicy green beans, mapo dofu, garlic spinach. My son loves the pot stickers. Friendly staff

placed an order for delivery and one of the orders was wor wonton soup...I was very disappointed to find just plain wonton soup in my order, and it was very salty and oily to boot...won't change the fact that I still like China Rose, just won't ever order wor wonton soup. read more

Recommend to try the coffee ribs. This place is definitely a local gem.

This is my go-to spot for take out Chinese food. My staples are the vegetable Fried rice, spring rolls, and hot and sour soup. The food is always hot and fresh and prepared quickly. The staff is super friendly every time I go in, so no complaints there. It is a fairly small place and when I've been in to pick up food on a Friday or Saturday I've noticed it to be quite crowded. Not sure I would try to get a table there on a night like that. But great for take out. read more

Appetizers are good. My husband and me ordered some pork dish and sea food dish. Those are really Yummy!! I would like to go back there again. read more

Their food is decent, its still on the fushion side (Beijing style and Cantonese style). They do serve Szechuan style spicy fish stew (Shui Zhu Yu) but its not authentic to me. Most dishes we ordered are flavorful but it would be better if its less salty read more

Not bad, but not great. Price, speed of delivery and Customer Svs are great. Just not what I was looking for as far as taste.

The noodle we ordered came with charcoal/burned pieces in it. Wondered what it was cooked with.

Just had lunch there for the first time with a girl friend of mine, both of us from Taiwan. We ordered the lame stew hot pot and fried tofu. Both were very delicious! Will definitely go back again to sample other dishes! read more

This place is great! The service has always been quality every time i've been there. The food is cheap and you get so much food and quality for the price. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area! read more

I went to the restaurant few days ago and just realized they have the brand new owner and brand new Chinese food style, which is REALLY awesome! The one from before is shanghai style, more northern, might fit the people who like spicy. The one from now is Southern style, which is Cantonese for major. Even so, I asked them if they have more spicy dishes and they kindly said they can offer what we want. They also have some spicy dishes that are really famous, such as their house spicy chicken(So GOOD!) and the Spciy fish( totally fit for northern people!). I asked if they have other famous dishes, they recommened their home-made won ton, coffee ribs and the seafood roll. I didnt know what they are at the first time, but after I try it, I was so suprised because I really like the taste! The won ton is kind of dumpling thing with the soup, they are REALLY fresh and the shrimp from it is REALLY good! I bet kids will love it. For the seafood roll, it's my favorite combination-- fruit and seafood! They put mango, scallop, shrimp and some kind of seafood. We dip it with the salad dressing, it's really good for the appetizers, and my children loved it so much because it's like the bigger size of french fries! The coffee ribs is the most I like from there because I like the way they cooked it. They cook the pork ribs with coffee, ( I think it's better for teenagers or adults if you dont want your kids to taste coffee, but I let my kids try it and they say it's tasty and sweet ), then put the white cream on there. The cream melt really fast and it goes into the coffee, OMG, it's like having a sweet day :) I give them 5 stars for the food! For the place and service, the place is A LOT MORE cleaner than before! The old restaurant has a really nasty carpet. But now they have a brand new one and the place is fresh and clean. The place is spacious and it smells really good whenever the food comes out!! The service is 100% great because they speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English fluently. They always friendly ask me about the food and make sure my drink is full. They have a free snack whenever you go in there. The snack taste really good beacuse it's peanut, honey and small fish mixed together. My kids loved it so much. They gave me a 15% off coupon so I can get price off next time. I'm definitely going there again because me and my kids love that restaurant so much! read more

maybe 3.5 stars - depending on the dish. when i visited this place I was suprised to see a packed house of both chinese and non-chinese clientelle. i also noticed they had two menu's, a chinese menu and an english menu. fwiw, the difference in the menu was not limited to language. the american menu had stuff like chicken balls, generals tso chicken, sweet and sweet sour dishes etc.. the chinese menu had more traditional hunan/sichuan style dishes. i tried the sichuan cold noodles and deep fried spare ribs. both were quite tasty although not the best I've had. I would take Hunan Chilli in Mountain View or Little Sichuan in San Mateo over this place any day but China Rose is not a bad option if you are craving some authentic Hunan/Sichuan. read more

This has become our favorite Chinese restaurant in Milpitas since a new management took over a few months ago. Although it specializes in HongKong style Cantonese cuisine, it does offer many selections from other provinces which are equally well done. Our favorite dishes are, to name a few, beef marinated in red wine, stirred fry green beans, sea food rolls (as appetizer), spicy fish cooked with water, coffee ribs, house crispy chicken with bean sauce dip. The service is friendly and attentive and the price is very reasonable. We find out that the chef is a co-owner. Therefore we can always count on the consistency of the quality as he is always there in charge. We have been there nearly 8 times and always found all the different dishes very tasty, and so did our guests. Another consideration is that it is located in a Nobhill shopping center where we can find easily a place to park, unlike the Milpitas square where it is always over-crowded. The restaurant size is just right for us, not too small and not too large. The food served is therefore always warm fresh from the wok. Last, but not least, no other Chinese cuisine can prepare beef as tender as the Cantonese, especially this one. Be sure to try the beef. Considering the quality and the price, we would give China Rose a five-star rating. read more
