Wanted to treat my niece to a nice Chinese lunch but didn't want to spend a fortune, and this place turned out to be PERFECT! Super cute, clean, & tidy inside, with excellent service, and the food & prices were GREAT!! We came right after Christmas and their super friendly wait staff even blessed us with two adorable "Santa" keychains with our tab!

5/5 hands down! My friend introduced me to the place about a year ago and ever since I've been going at least twice a month. Quick service and friendly staff. Love this place!

The food was great. But let me be clear when I say this meal could have been the best Chinese food in the universe and I would still never step foot inside this establishment again. It’s Christmas day, and I understand it might take a little longer to prep my order given the rush and very few places being open, but what I experienced was a biblical catastrophe a La “lord of the flies” in there.
I placed my order at 5:20 over the phone. We arrived for pick up at 5:45 as they said it would be 30 minutes. The place was already packed. I stood in line for 20 minutes before I got to the front to pay for, and presumably pick up my order. I paid for my order, and was instead given a number and told it would be right out. After another 20 minutes I realized no one inside the restaurant (about 40 people waiting for food) was getting their order. They simply weren’t calling numbers and bringing orders up. People were starting to get understandably antsy. Everyone, including myself, was told we would be getting our orders soon. More time passes. At this point I had been waiting for 45 minutes beyond the time they said my order would be ready. Customers were lining up at the front, who had been waiting even longer, demanding answers. Hungry people just kept lining up and filling the restaurant behind me.
Still no orders were being handed to anyone. Then people began demanding refunds, some of which were getting denied due to having paid online and not having the physical card on them. It looked like they were trying to shingle a roof with the order tickets taped literally A OVER THE PLACE. It was glorious chaos. The tension was quickly mounting and people were becoming understandably infuriated. Another 30 minutes passed. Customers began to collaborate, not being able to process refunds, and triangulate who ordered what/when and figure out whose orders were likely coming up. Management played dumb and it became apparent that they were only processing the orders of the customers who were absolutely on their last nerve and becoming understandably verbally irritated. Also, infuriatingly, anyone who actually sat down to eat was being served. Plated meals kept leaving the kitchen.
A person in front of me in line ACTUALLY PASSED OUT as they had been waiting for food for well over an hour. People just started leaving, we all cheered whenever anyone actually got their order and left the building. We trauma bonded with other desperate patrons wondering if we were part of some sick social experiment. I eventually tried to get a refund and leave but couldn’t flag anyone down. Finally, after standing there for nearly TWO HOURS my order came out. People who had been there before me were still waiting for food, unable to get a refund.
I have had better times at the DMV. This was absolutely catastrophic. I truly hope this was due to a fluke management meltdown and not the norm for this place but I for one will never return due in part to the ptsd suffered alongside many others on this unforgettable Christmas. China NOT so fun, today.

I have waited over 2 hours for a simple order it is absolutely ridiculous
They are really friendly, but if you place an order to go, they don’t start cooking until you pay for the order. I was in a hurry, came in to pickup the food, and then found out it wasn’t started (had called 20 mins prior). Ended up being late for my appt.

Ate there a few weeks ago but it's no longer the same quality or perhaps management?
Also beware of price discrepancies... being significantly lower online than when you call it for pickup.

Our family loves this place! The food is always delicious, fresh, and the prices are more than fair for the amount of food you get. The service is fast and friendly and this has become our go-to spot for Chinese food, highly recommend!

China fun is a great place to go if you are looking for a sit down Chinese restaurant!!
The girls at the front of house are always on top of welcoming you and seating you right away. Always so friendly and attentive too. The cooks in the back make authentic dishes and they come out quickkkkkk. Our favorites are the sesame chicken and especially the sweet and sour shrimp. Lunch menu is such a bang for your buck. Always a pleasure to come here 100000%
