China Cafe,

"This is a great place to get some good oriental food! Big portions, great tasting, and convenient (if you live in Johnston). But I will say- when we were at the place, there was dust and dead bugs all over the window seal… kinda gross!? Also, our first time in was during a hot summer day and it felt like maybe the AC was off or not working, which made eating in feel like a spa house. It’s winter as I write this, but I hope they got that fixed!"

"I come here for lunch regularly with coworkers, and it never disappoints. I try to get something different every time, and I have yet to choose something I didn't like. The flavors are wonderful, and the service is great. Everyone I have had an encounter with is very warm and welcoming."

"I must confess I am a Cashew Chicken snob! I come from Springfield, MO, (Where Cashew Chicken was invented) and I love the meal there. That being said, I was excited to hear finally, after 23 years of living here. Someone had listed on their menu, "Springfield Cashew Chicken". I will say it is close, but not exactly there yet; but they are better than anyone in Iowa I have tried, (And I have tried a lot! Ha). Ok, here we go; this place is very nice, clean, service was very good (and always smiling). The food was Hot, fresh, generous portions, and delicious. This is my new spot for Chinese food, for lunch and dinner."

"Fast, friendly service. The food was very very fast. Ordered two dishes and they were out within 10 minutes. The food were tasty and flavorful. The orange chicken was awesome, however, it lacks chicken. Just alot of fried fillers (breading). The chicken fried rice was very good. The hot and sour soup was delicious. I do not recommend the egg roll or crab rangoon. The egg roll was one of those processed factory made eggroll. It was soggy, mushy, oily, and super gross. Overall, it's above average for fast Chinese. However, I probably won't try it again."

"In comparison to chopsticks down the street it comes in second. The portions were there however, just not enough meat in my opinion. Still the lunch menu is under the $10 mark and I would eat here again and stick to the sweet and sour chicken on the lunch menu. You can see in the photo how many carrots filled the plate. If veggies are you thing then you will like it. Recommend, Thanks for reading and if this review helped give a thumbs up."
