Bbq pork
Stephanie C.

The food was okay. Especially for the value. We had the bbq pork, the sauce that it came with really complimented the pork and I had the lunch special. The fried rice didn't taste fried to me like when you fry it in a wok, the noodles also didn't have that wok flavor. Although everything tasted good, there was no authentic wok flavor to it. The won ton soup was good with the chili oil. I would really give this a 3 1/3 stars.

Hot and Sour Soup, Wor Won Ton Soup both delicious.

It's time I updated my review here. They have new owners but it's still within the same family. Same cook too. The food was so good. Our waiter was really nice and helpful. Suggesting lots of different things for us to try on our next visit. Explaining all the various ingredients. I am glad this place is here in Prunedale. So we don't always have to drive out to Marina or Salinas. Just as good as any of those places, if not better. I always appreciate the quite atmosphere here too. Very relaxing. Excellent service really friendly too. Everything we've had is excellent. Highly recommend.

Would give 2 1/2 stars if it was an option. Menu pricing on Yelp was wrong by $3. Sweet-and-sour chicken tasted like it was either over cooked or sitting under a hot lamp for sometime. Super dry. Fried rice was a plain as it could be. Chow mein was average. If you want a quick fix this place works. If you can drive else where, I would definitely recommend Lee's Garden in Marina, even Li Yuen in Castroville would be another option with competitive pricing and generous servings.

Wor Won Ton Soup

I think this is the best Chinese food restaurant in the area. A lovey family runs this place. Service is always very welcoming and friendly. The food is great. My only complaint would be the ribs were a little dry and tough.

China Center Restaurant - Sweet & Sour Pork Lunch Plate

China Center Restaurant

4.0(90 reviews)

Amazing service! We ordered Mongolian beef, rice, fried rice, and shrimp. Amazing food with wonton…read moresoup.

Passed this place more times than I can count and, given the abundance of "Chinese" restaurants in…read morethe area, always assumed it was just another case of same menu, different sign. Then curiosity finally won. I arrived mid-afternoon to a surprisingly packed house--always a promising sign. As luck would have it, one table remained, and an older woman kindly waved me over to claim it. About five minutes later she returned with a place setting, menu, and the essential opening question: "What would you like to drink?" (Water, in my case.) Three minutes after that, a younger server zipped past, apologized for the brief wait, and efficiently took my order. I went with the Sweet & Sour Pork lunch special ($13.95), which came with an egg roll and fried rice. The portion was generous enough to qualify as both lunch and a future encore at home. The egg roll and fried rice were solid. The sweet and sour pork was decent--loaded with pineapple chunks, though curiously missing the usual bell peppers. The sauce leaned a bit enthusiastically toward the "sweet" side as well. Still, it was a filling meal and I ended up boxing half for later. Friendly service, hearty portions, and reasonable prices--three good reasons I'll likely return and give the rest of the menu a spin. Value: 4 out of 5 Atmosphere: noisy, 3 out of 5 Service: 4 out of 5 Bathroom: one unisex, so it's popular Verdict: 4 out of 5
