China Cafe

"Beware of this restaurant if you have any sort of dietary restriction or allergy. When asking what the dish "homestyle tofu" was since there was zero description, the woman responded with "tofu." I said, "I know it has tofu, but does it have any sort of sauce, or vegetables? How is it prepared?" And the woman said, "it's fried tofu put on vegetable." I said, " okay, is there any sort of sauce on it?" To which she screamed, "WHAT? It's brown sauce." I asked her what was in the brown sauce, specifically whether there is any sort of fish sauce added into the brown sauce (as it's a very popular ingredient in Chinese food sauces, and I cannot eat fish products, and I told her as such), and she proceeded to scream at me that she doesn't know because she doesn't make it, and when I asked her to please ask, she said "no one is going to tell you what's in it or how it's made." I'm thinking - I'm not trying to steal your recipe! I just want to make sure I won't get sick or have a reaction by eating this. The interaction continued with her yelling at me, and I gave up. I have lived here for three years and have always loved ordering from China Cafe. As someone who rarely eats out due to funds and allergies/dietary restrictions, this restaurant was one of the few who always had my business. The one time I want to try something new and ask what is in it, I'm ostracized for it. China Cafe has definitely lost my business."

"Food is great! We have been eating there for a little over 5 years, the food is always good. My family live in the reservoir area and I am so glad they offer their own delivery service. So convenient!"

"Food is excellent. I have been eaten here for five years. Great place to eat and always clean. If you are a spicy lover please try their secret dish - spicy beef soup. Just right amount of spicy for me, also comes with a lot of veggies. Love it! I personally think they have the best orange chicken."

"I've been coming here for 5 years and the food is always great!! The general tso's tofu and veggie lo mein never disappoints"

"The sesame chicken and General Tao’s chicken have good flavor. Overall, the food wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t great. The egg rolls were on the soggy side, and the wantons appeared to be just cream cheese. Nothing seemed freshly cooked, and there was nothing appealing about the presentation."
