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.
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.
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!
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!
I continue to order from here.... Imperial spare ribs: bomb Scallops and minced meat in steamed egg: bomb Chicken with sizzling Rice soup: bomb Golden egg yolk scallops: just ok Shanghai sweet sour spareribs: bomb Coffee ribs: bomb Honestly there's not many authentic Chinese places where you can get 3 items and have it land $30-40 including seafood. The food is tasty and value can't be beat
Disappointment with the small portion of the honey walnut shrimp that was ordered. The fried vermicelli is missing as well as only 3 pieces of walnut were found. The price of this dish is $16.95 and it's not worth it with what's presented.
Excellent Claypot rice with salted fish & meat patty. Best in South Bay. The lotus Chinese cucumber veggie dish was above average. Prices are extremely reasonable. It's a family run restaurant with very friendly wait staffs.
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. Don't order this, order something else.
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.

My boyfriend is obsessed with Chinese fast food and he wanted to try this place because it was close and convenient. I was iffy after seeing the not so recent and average to below average reviews. I was pleasantly surprised! GET THE CHOW FUN We ordered the Family Combination (choice of 3 items from the appropriate list, includes soup of the day and steamed rice) for less than $27. We chose beef chow fun, chicken chow mein, and broccoli beef. The soup of the day was hot and sour soup. They no longer have pork chow fun/chow mein which we would have gotten. [Beef Chow Fun]: This was tasty! All the noodles were coated perfectly and the beef was nice and tender! Solid chow fun, will definitely be re-ordering. [Chicken Chow Mein]: This didn't have a ton of flavor but it was decent and will satisfy your chow mein cravings. The chicken was decent as well. I would re-order but my boyfriend (Chinese fast food connoisseur) would not. We wish they still offered pork chow mein! [Broccoli Beef]: The beef isn't tough or excessively chewy. Most of the broccoli still had a nice crunch and the sauce was nice and garlic-y, however they definitely skimped on the portion because when we opened the tray it was mainly one layer of food instead of stacked on. At least fully cover the bottom of the tray instead of trying to hide it with sauce! It's hard to tell in the photos though. [Hot and sour soup]: This was good! Add some chopped green onions as well as some garlic chili sauce at home and you have a good soup! Overall we will be returning. For the amount of food you get for less than $30, it was able to feed 2 people and have enough leftovers for 1 the next day. read more

Nice quiet restaurant. A little warm inside. This is my first time here, I ordered, from the online menu, C10 large, G1, D12,H5. I have an $8 tip, total was $71 so I won't be coming back since it is outside of my budget.

Frugal Wallet Deals. Very impressed. First visit. Tiny family style place with lots of tables and chairs close together. Traditional and old place. It's probably been in Milpitas forever. Not huge. Good location in quiet area. Fast and efficient staff. Old vibes with excellent chef. Good marinades and cut ups/choppings. Each bite was quality food. Everything tasted delicious and very good for a Chinese restaurant takeout place. Cheap prices and just too good. Great wide selections on menu. For lunch, you can have a delicious entree with rice, soup and/or salad for under or around $10. Not bad. I ordered from the 3-items takeout menu that comes with rice and soup. Excellent choice. They had my order ready within 15 minutes. Awesome. Credit cards accepted. Lady speaks some English and mainly Mandarin-Chinese. Ordered number 34-salt pepper fish fillet (not overly salty), number 15-Shanghai style sweet and sour spareribs (excellent, love the special sauce), and number 26-chicken with hot garlic sauce (very tender). Excellent taste. Well coated with sauce. Tender meats. Not too salty was a bonus. We never order Chinese takeout foods around here for the past two decades. This place deserves some recognitions for good chef. Best bargain in town for Chinese foods. My total with taxes was $31.66, and I still tipped a few more dollars today for takeout. During recession and high inflation times, these older traditional Chinese restaurants aren't bad at all. You want good foods for your wallet bucks. Will be coming back for more. Very satisfied. Tastes as good as it looks. Didn't they used to have dim sum here many years ago? Same place for sure. I just wish that they would upgrade the interior or have larger spaces inside. Food pieces were a bit smaller in size than expected. Takeout boxes were good in quality. Not messy. Good packing. Short staffed. Chinese takeout foods are very good tasting here. read more

Tired this place on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't too busy, there were a few tables occupied. We ordered from the family meal, which is 3 entrees, soup and rice for a set price, and we also ordered another item as well. Sweet & Sour Pork Spareribs with Bitter Melon Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables String Bean with Minced Tofu Honestly, everything was pretty decent, except the Sweet and Sour Pork, that was completely awful. The sauce tasted disgusting, yuck, so do not order that one. The soup is Hot and Sour Soup, it's okay, nothing special. The customer service was decent, the guy working there is attentive to customers needs and speaks good English and Chinese. The waitress, isn't all that friendly or talkative with customers. Overall, can't really recommend this place. I would skip it. read more

Did you ask the restaurant about the sweet sour pork by the time you…
Got takeout from here during COVID-19. Great quantities on both the items I ordered. Salted Salty Fish with Chicken Fried Rice: could have used some more salty fish. Great quantity. Chicken is deep fried in this. The tastes there. Singaporean style fried noodles: Comes with shrimp, which was good and Beef strips: not so good. My daughter and us enjoyed this (minus the beef strips). read more

After a nice hike up and down Mission peak, we were ravenous and craving some unhealthy Chinese food. My friend and I hopped onto google maps and found this place 12 minute away. Arriving around 7PM on Friday evening, this place was empty, but we were seated quickly and given tea and menus. The pricing is very fair, probably the most affordable sit down Chinese diner I've seen around the area. The menu was quite extensive, and offered many of my favorite dishes. We opted for beef chow mien(pan fried), fried eggplant with garlic, and two quails(as my friend has never tried one before. Fortunately food arrived quickly, we were so hungry! This is how we felt about the food: Beef chow mien(pan fried): 4/5 - Arrived to our table, dish full with sauce. Not a bad thing, we we wanted the crunchy noodles. Sauce was very salty. - lots of toppings(beef and Chinese broccoli), but not much noodles. Fried eggplant with garlic: 3/5 - I love eggplant, and I love fried things more than I should, but this was veeerrrryyyy greasy. Taste was good, but you might feel sick after a few pieces. Braised quail: 5/5 - I rarely find quail for $3, and while it's small, it's tasty! My friend enjoyed her first experience of quail, as it's tastes much like a chicken/duck. Overall, we enjoyed our meal, albeit the small noodle portion size. It is not the best Chinese restaurant food I've had, but if I was in the area and craving unhealthy Chinese food, I would come by and grab some. read more

Additional items ordered during summer visit: Garlic fried peashoots - kudos for making a vegetable taste this good! Spicy Ma Po Tofu - well done tofu cubes bigger than normal but the one glaring omission was steam rice! So be sure to order some. House special seafood fried rice - an all-star selection here. Fish and squid tender and rich with flavor - succulent bite-sized shrimp cooked nice and plump not chewy or rubbery. The rice itself was fluffy not moist. There were several broccoli stalks as well decorating the top of the heaping mound of wonderful ness. This is a dish you should get every... single... time... Contrast: "Beef Noodle Soup" I'm sad there is no picture because the picture in my head did not match reality. There is little flavor to this soup base - it comes with beef like beef and broccoli beef, not the usual chuck roast and while there were plenty vegetables there was a noticeable lack of seasoning. In hindsight, I'm not surprised the item is buried on the inside of the fourth page of the menu with no picture. Lastly we did order beef chow fun again and still as excellent as last time. The menu is mostly helpful though with big and small pictures and many many choices. One thing I wish they did was get AIR CONDITIONING or at least a FAN because it was muggy in there which soon becomes sweltering if you eat a dish with any kind of spice. On balance, still 3 stars. read more

Haven't been here in a while but have always liked this place. They are known for their coffee ribs but on Monday I went for their 3 entree family meal. I ordered the pork fried with bean curd, black bean chicken, and shanghai rice cakes. The bean curd pork was good and sauce was tasty, the black bean chicken had so many bell peppers which I love but maybe not for those looking for a heartier portion. The shanghai rice cakes had shredded cabbage and carrots and had a good chewiness. There is a slight discount when paying cash but the best is that the meal came with rice and a tub of hot n sour soup that really hit the spot. Highly recommend this place and who can beat 3 entrees and soup/rice for less than $30! read more

This review is for delivery only. I ordered delivery via UberEats today because I was craving salt and pepper calamari and honey walnut shrimp. Both items were pretty good, but there was a little too much breading for my liking. I had enough shrimp for leftovers for dinner tonight, lol. read more

My hubby and I came here for to go dinner after we had work out. They offer family combinations which is really worth with 3 dish (choose from family combination menu), 1 steamed rice (more than 2 people portion) and 1 soup of the day. The total price is less than $22 (include tax) and must paid with cash if you want save. You might think the portion small since it's a set meal. Nope! They gave a generous portion. We ordered fish fillet with black bean sauce, preserved vegetables with steamed pork and shanghai style sweet & sour pork. The food really smell nice& taste delicious! I highly recommended preserved vegetables with steamed pork and shanghai style sweet & sour pork. The shanghai style sweet & sour pork in small pieces with bones, easier to chew and the pork marinated well. Their preserved vegetables with steamed pork was freshly made yesterday so it taste delicious. We will definitely come back for their other dish. The staffs here were nice and friendly. And they didn't take long to get our order ready (around 10-13 minutes). read more

Been over 2 years since my last review. Came in for a lunch and ordered from the lunch combo menu. The restaurant had 1 couple enjoying their lunch. Restaurant is clean and staff are professional and easy to converse. Lunch combo comes with soup of the day, side salad and steam rice with (1) choice of entree from lunch combo menu. Upgrades like fried rice and chow mean is $1 more for each. According to my lunch buddy, my face said it all. Main entrees we shared were tomato beef and salt n pepper tofu. We upgraded from steam rice to chow mean and fried rice. In s nutshell, here's my opinion! 1). Side salad was just iceberg lettuce, mini noodles and the oddest tasting watery dressing. 0//5. 2). Egg Flower soup was in need of something. It was bland, but hot. Not even a back drop of sesame oil flavor , good amount of egg ribbons in the cup. 0/5. 3). Fried rice needed more seasoning. Very bland and unexciting. But it did it's job to carb fill us up. 1/5 4). Chow mean came out piping hot, seasoned better than the first 3 items. Only bad thing and it's my personal preference, I like thinner noodles. These were traditional thick canton style noodles. 2/5. 5). Salt n pepper tofu tasted unpleasant. I've had better tasting SNP Tofu. These off white cubes were not coated to give a light crispy bite, tofu had an after taste, like maybe old or just a bad brands after taste. It was way salty too. 0/5. 6) . Tomato beef was the better dish of the moment. Beef was tende but minimal. Fresh tomato wedges held its shares and one can se the tomato colored sauce. 3/5 Overall, my lunch buddy said my face said it all. I was told my face had a face of unhappiness and slight disgust. I'm not being mean but that was told to me. This place used to be my fav so not sure if ownership changed, kitchen staff or chef changed or quality of products changed. But I was disappointed. Maybe lunch here is not for me. In the past, Dinner was way better. 6 points/30= Less than 1 Star for food only I added 2 stars for the cleanliness and accommodating staff. Filled water glasses continuously (a rarity in Chinese restaurants) read more

Delicious, freshly prepared food. We ordered the General Tsao's Chicken, Salt and Pepper Scallop and Crispy Beef Noodles and everything was scrumptious. Even though there were lots of guests, Wendy the hostess was very attentive and helpful. She is really positive and sweet. She checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed and refilled our tea several times. read more

Excellent! Very good experience. I traveled around the world, this is the best of Chinese food ever. I lost couple of my fingers! so good. Soup and tea was great. We had ribs and Mongolian beef and eggplant. Restaurant is sparkling clean and owners are super welcome and friendly. Service was fast and prices are great as well. Thanks you. We'll back read more
Went here in hopes of finding good Chinese food near my work. I was hesitant at first based on rating. I did notice in the last year they had mostly high ratings by far so maybe it was sold or new peeps work there and it changed. Dunno but I really enjoyed my Tsos chicken w lo mein all for 9 and change and portion size is great and the fresh tasting food was fantastic. My new go to when working. Service was great too read more
