First time eating here. It’s Delicious, friendly staff, and has fast service. Definitely will come back.
The shrimp was raw. This is unacceptable and unsanitary. I was offer a coupon in exchange for potential food poisoning. Get your act together!
Love their Sichuan menu items!!! Very friendly staff. Hot & Spicy Chicken from the traditional menu hit the apot!
Their service has gotten worse. The food is still pretty good, but the staff seems annoyed with all customers’ presence. They also don’t offer the little cakes for dessert anymore because, “we have to use our hands to make them.”
I’ve been here a few times and the wait wasn’t too bad, maybe 10 or so minutes which is understandable. The past 2 times have been pretty bad, I asked for a side of lo mein and they charged me for a full portion of it. The most recent time was when I went there to get food and ended up waiting over 35 minutes for 2 things. I asked again for a side of lo mein so I could have both rice and lo mein but they ended up substituting my rice and as for my girlfriend who got fried rice it is laughable at how it was just white rice with a lot of soy sauce on top. It was very light and very sticky just like white rice. The food got set out for about 5 minutes while all the other waiters were walking right past it without bringing it to us. We had been waiting for about 30 minutes at this time and people that walked in instantly got seated and taken care of which is a good thing if there wasn’t a customer waiting for over 30 minutes already and the food is set out. The food is very good but the service just isn’t there.
I haven't been here in about 5 years. It still looks and feels the same, but the service was VERY slow at noon on a weekday. They still serve lunch on trays, and I remember thinking it was off-putting last time, too. But at least I enjoyed my food at that time. The food during my recent visit looked good, but the sesame chicken was not crispy and the eggroll was completely soggy inside, which was gross. I will not be back again.
Todays experience was extra good. The Latin music goes surprisingly well in the atmosphere. 2 new servers who were on point. The spicy fish in clay pot is always delicious. If you come here order from the Szechuan menu located in the back of the menue. Best Chinese food I have found in NWA.
Fantastic food. One of the best and most authentic Asian eats in the area. Play it safe with some General Tso or mix it up with one of their specials or Szechuan Chicken.10/10
Saturday night 8 Jan. 2022. Very busy, floor staff seem...."lost". China Cafe has been in business to many years at this location for this lack of organization. As mentioned when we arrived the Cafe was very busy one table was open but had yet to be "bussed" and cleaned. We waited 15min while the waiter ignored us at the door and ignored the open table. I took a bussing kit and cleared the table myself. Now seated we waited another 10min for a drink and appetizer order to be taken. Another 10min for "Luke Warm" egg rolls to arrive. Another 30min of waiting for our order and I left a five for the eggrolls and walked out. Two years ago this was my favorite Chinese restaurant.....I doubt I will ever go back.
Ordered a dish named “cumin lamb chops with potato” but it came without potatoes, disappointing with this $22 takeout meal. the food quality is not as good as before, doesn’t taste like fresh cooked
