This is my very first review of a restaurant in my hometown, and I wouldn't want to do any other…read moreplace. China Cafe has been in Eastland for as long as I can remember. I have seen this restaurant and staff been disrespected, taken advantage of, and mocked throughout the years because of the slight language and cultural barrier. Even with all of this going on for years, China Cafe continues to stand against it all and continue to provide amazing food to the community at an unbeatable price. China Cafe has a huge assortment of food that caters to anyone's tastebuds. They have amazing appetizers, entrees, and desserts. They have always been consistent and so caring for their customers. Even when you show up a couple minutes before they close, they are sure to cook up anything fresh if you are craving it. Tonight, they literally brought an entire new tray of banana pudding just for me. In high school, I always came every Friday with my friends for lunch; we always wanted to end our week on a high note and I can not imagine any other place better than China Cafe. Obviously, I can not rave about this place enough! It is so underrated, and as an Asian American myself, I am so impressed that China Cafe has not only survived but thrived with Asian Cuisine in a tiny Texas town regardless of the insistent and horrible discrimination and micro aggressions they face every day. Even though I have tried multiple other Chinese buffet restaurants around the country, nothing has ever beaten China Cafe. There is something about the food that makes it irresistible! Please give this place a chance, and you will not be disappointed!!

The staff was so sweet and so kind to me. I miss this place sooo much. I would drive from Dallas to Brownwood just to go there. They had this pomegranate slushie with pomegranate boba that would make anyone's day brighter. It was literally emotionally healing. I loved the green tea and taro slushies too with the tapioca boba. So glad to know they survived the pandemic. My favorite Asian fusion place on the planet

As soon as you walk in you place your food and drink order at the front counter, pay your bill, fill your cup with your choice of fountain drink and seat yourself. The place was clean, the staff were all friendly and the menu has several lunch and dinner options. As far as the dinner goes you can definitely split one meal with two people, it's a lot of food. My husband decided on General Tso's Chicken and I opted for the Sweet & Sour Chicken. He liked his meal and made the comment that there were only 3 or 4 broccoli florets so a little disappointment there but he still liked his choice. I was somewhat disappointed with the our first time experience. Our dinners were brought out to us in styrofoam boxes, plastic wear and no checking on us to see if everything was ok. My Sweet & Sour was anything but Sweet & Sour. Typically this is served with a mixture bell peppers, onions, carrots and pineapple and mine had absolutely none of these and did come with a container of sauce that was still missing something. The fried rice is typically served with peas, carrots or other selections mixed in with it. Mine had a sliver of an onion or two and that was it. Pictures are attached for your review. As you pay when you order the infamous card payment system ask for a tip. Yes a tip before you even try your meal and without anyone actually waiting on you. Will we come back, maybe but we have experienced much, much better Chinese dining in San Angelo.

It's called China Wok. Nothing is pre-made. They make it after you order it and it is HOT. None of those room-temperature crab rangoons, ours were super hot and like lava... Hot & Sour soup was super hot. I ordered the General Tso chicken and it was made fresh and had to let it cool down to eat. It was the best food in years. Who would have thought that little old Ballinger TX would have the best Chinese food in west Texas... TRULY homemade Chinese food of superior quality.
