    Spicy garlic wings and garlic wings
    Sarah T.

    For years, China station spicy garlic wings used to be a staple at every party. There are new owners after Covid and order with them is still over the phone. The pick up was easy and the cashier was helpful and polite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant looks basically the same except they turned the register and counter to face the door now.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] First time I had China station under new ownership, I was very disappointed that the wings recipe changed for worse. But this time, the wings were good and like 90% to how they good they used to be. The spicy garlic wings have a new redder look, still missing that intense garlic flavor and wasn't very spicy, but the crunch and the savory flavor are good. The regular garlic wings look like the original but it's not spicy at all and needs more garlic. The crunch on both of these flavors was awesome. Maybe these wings are as close to the previous owners' as they can get. We'll be coming back again

    Had to give China station another try after the disastrous visit I had when they reopened a few years ago. Happy to say the garlic fried chicken is back to how it used to taste! Crispy, garlicky and not too oily. Very good! I usually only order the fried chicken but this time I decided to try the Singapore noodles. It was quite good, huge order, lots of ingredients and pretty tasty! I will be back!

    China Station has reopened! After a pretty long stint of being closed, they've opened their doors to welcome new and returning customers. During this soft reopening, they're taking in feedback and evaluating how to best serve their customers. Come try! The long awaited visit to China Station has finally come but it is only after they've supposedly changed ownership. We have heard great things about their food, namely their infamous crispy chicken. And as a first time visitor, that's exactly what we got. There was definitely a sticker shock ($14 for 7 pieces) but we figured it was still worth a try. The pieces were medium sized, breaded lightly, and were freshly made to order. We placed an order for the non-spicy, garlic one as well as a separate one for the spicy, chili powder covered variation. The chicken definitely lived up to the hype. The texture was amazingly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The chicken was fried throughly so that even the cartilage was soft enough to crunch through. The seasoning and flavoring was great - not too salty but the non-spicy was accentuated from the fried garlic that topped it and the spicy one had just enough chili powder to tickle your senses but not linger too long and overpower your palate. But at two bucks a piece, it's too steep for a frequent buy but perhaps a guilty pleasure every blue moon or so. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is located in a tiny, inconspicuous mall shared by other amazing mom and pop shops serving authentic ethnic cuisine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They do have a dedicated parking lot that is rarely occupied and it's conveniently located near the highway so it's a nice place to come pick up your meal before heading home or to your next potluck event. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For those with children, it's also located near a public park so you could perhaps considering including some Chinese food into your busy schedule.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, my first impression of China Station was a good one and I look forward to coming back to try their other dishes. The prices may need to be evaluated to stay competitive with similar restaurants nearby. Otherwise as long as the food quality stays consistent and they continue upholding their great reputation while establishing new customers, China Station will do great and can serve their customers for years to come.

    Garlic fried wings are back! One order is enough to feed 2 ppl. BBQ pork fried rice and Mongolian beef is legit.

    I have been coming here for a long time to get the garlic chicken wing, I recently move and came back after a couple of years. I came to order the wings and noticed a young lady instead of the boy or old man. I ask the lady if this is under new ownership, she said yes, the lady's says the old man retired and nothing has change. So I gave it a try and I'm glad I did because the wings have the same taste and I will be coming back every time I'm back in time.

    Notify the press! China Station is back! Still soft opening, but they know what's important... spicy fried chicken wings! From what I was told, it is not the same owners, but they are related, so recipe is the same. From what I ate today, it sure tastes the same! Please note that during soft opening, the menu is limited (no party trays yet) and it is cash only!

    Today's soft opening. New owner! Reopened under new management. Friendly owners. Place looks the same just clean. New front counters. Tried out the infamous garlic wings to see if it's the same. I'm going to have to say not the same. The crunch factor is there but the taste is not. Also tried the spicy garlic wings. Just a hint of spice and the flavor is also lacking. In my opinion both wings need more flavor.

    Never tried this place but heard they had the best fried chicken game in the bay! Let's just say it was the crunchiest chicken I have ever had in my life, the texture of the skin felt like a fried crab Rangoon. Overall it was a great experience of an soft opening, only disappointing thing was that the chicken was so crunchy I was unable to poke it through with my plastic fork

    Still closed for remodeling in February 2023?

    Just called 2/5 5:30pm and answering machine says closed for remodeling.

    Is this place open yet? No one picks up the phone.

    They are closed for remodeling I believe

    They're closed for remodeling, so don't get mad at them?

    Sure but find ways to get the message out to your customers like a voicemail message stating when you will open or update your hours on Google, Yelp, etc

    Is this place open Sundays? Called them a couple times on Sunday & no one answer!

    They're remodeling

    What is that batter of the chicken wings made of?

Got the half order fried chicken and a honey butter chicken for the first time (take home) I love Korean fried chicken and Vons chicken was what I expected. The honey butter chicken was good and tasted like candy. Might be a bit too sweet for me but worth trying it. Service for dine in was great. They gave me a carafe with water and a stainless steel cup. Overall, worth the visit for a family owned restaurant

Honestly, I never step foot into their restaurant but had mines since my parents ordered a take out and come back home to eat their chicken. It's my first time stepping in as of today. The interior looks alright. It's just mediocre but at least they have pictures hanging on the wall. It's not really a best place to really dine in unless you're into quiet places. I ordered lunch combo with Soy & Garlic boneless chickens with rice. I had no idea what that fruit was but it was colored light purple. They put the rice and chicken into one small container and the rice was sticky. The good news is that the chicken tastes really good. They really did put much effort into adding flavors to the chicken. I also like the fruit too. It came with a very small container and went with that first since I wanted to finish vegetables and fruits first. The food is good but I don't think it's worth dining in especially if you're into atmospheres. Yeah, I'll try and order like a shareable versions of those chickens if I come back.

    Serious Food Safety Concern…read more I'm extremely concerned after finding a piece of metal inside my toddler's chicken wing from this restaurant. Thankfully, I noticed it before he bit into it or swallowed it, because something like this could have caused a serious injury, choking, or even worse. We get food from here all the time, so this is not me trying to ruin the business or leave a negative review out of spite. I genuinely want the restaurant to be more aware and careful with its food handling and preparation because this could have ended very differently if I hadn't noticed the metal. I would have preferred to contact the restaurant privately first, but unfortunately, I could not find any way online to reach out to them directly regarding a food safety concern. Because of that, I felt I had no choice but to post this on Yelp. I hope the restaurant takes this seriously and reviews its food preparation and handling procedures to make sure something like this does not happen to another family. When we order food for our children, we trust that it is safe to eat, and finding a piece of metal in their food is extremely alarming.

But I was in the mood for something different and particularly remember how much I enjoyed the garlic parmesan flavor at Wingstop before. So I ended up here this past Sunday. My order was ready in 13 minutes as quoted online. The place was clean and inviting with plenty of seating available and a coca cola freestyle machine which I love for customized sodas. Service was standard and sufficient with the employee handing me my takeout bag without any issues. I got an order of 15 classic style, selecting 8 garlic parmesan and 7 mild buffalo wings. And a couple sides of ranch, which are quite large in size, not those itsy bitsy 2oz cups other places give. The chicken wings were large with a lot of meat on the bone, and nice & juicy. The mild wings were tasty, doused in plenty of buffalo sauce which puddled at the bottom, so I could dip for more flavor. The garlic parmesan wings were okay, but not as good as I remember, especially with the parmesan lacking. It's like they sprinkled the parmesan on a couple pieces on top and neglected the others. It was still a filling meal nonetheless, and the 15-piece a good size for two people or leftovers.

Who knew gas station fried chicken could taste this good. Also, I've tried a few other Krispy Krunchy locations, but none come close to this location in terms of taste and quality. Ordering is simple and fast - tell the guy at the counter what you want, he prints out a bill for you which you use to pay at the billing counter, and then you pick up your order. I generally go for the chicken plus biscuit combo and more often than not, finish the biscuit in the car while driving back home. When they are out of biscuits or if I want more than 4 pieces of chicken, I go for the 8 piece chicken and I have to say it is an unbeatable deal for 8 pieces of hand breaded chicken plus taxes at less than 20 bucks. Yes, the cajun seasoning can sometimes get a tad too salty, but generally, they really nail the flavor at this location. The chicken is always fresh here and they do sometimes run out of chicken, which means you'll need to wait to get piping hot chicken; otherwise service is generally super fast. Also, love their newly redesigned kruch boxes which let the steam out and help keep the chicken really krispy and krunchy.

It had been about a year since I last visited, and I was glad to see that prices hadn't changed at all. The highlight here for me has always been their lumpia--or at least, it used to be. It was once fried to golden perfection, with just the right amount of loose wrapper that gave extra-crispy edges (if you know, you know). Looking back at older photos, the lumpia had a noticeably deeper golden-brown hue compared to the lighter version I received this time, as well as seemed a bit longer in size. This made me sad; but it was still good, just no longer exceptional. In addition, the broasted chicken has always been just decent; the skin is great but the meat on the inside is always a bit dry and definitely requires some gravy or sauce to dip it in. Despite the lumpia switch-up, prices are still unbeatable for the bay, so I'd come back. I did notice that they seemed to have a new cook in the back, so here's to hoping that next time, the lumpia reverts back to the way it was!
