Yummy Garlic wings; noodles and egg flower soup😋
DONT EAT HERE!!! First the window says soft opening and when I went inside it looked like some back room of some shady alleyway establishment. All that was missing were some sandal clad cigarette in then lip card players. So I asked when did they open and the girl said last August. Haha. It’s April. I ordered 4 items and my bill was over 70$. I had the honey walnut shrimp. Sauce was thick and grainy and they just stuff it in a carton over some cabbage shreds. Cant really tell where one shrimp starts and the other ends. I ordered beef chow main. They gave me chicken. I ordered kung pao beef. Was subpar at best. I ordered cashew chicken as well. The cashews were just piled on top like they just got poured out of a can. They stuff the containers over full so the sauce spilled all over the bag. The quality isnt present and they try to make up for it with the portions. Then they automatically ask for a tip when you pay, even for takeout. If you’re scrolling the comments looking for some good food this isn’t the place for you.
I was in China through the 1980's. Before the economic boom, food was murky at best. Fatty, salty and without taste. The new China Station carries on in this tradition. We had four take outs, Honey Walnut Prawns - the walnuts were old with a near rancid flavor. We had a won ton soup- passible however not the soup that launched a thousand ships. The Mongolian Beef was very salty and sweet and not edible. When we went there was no business in the restaurant. We had to wait 45 minutes on what we were told was a 25 minute order. In the Bay Area we have limitless options to eat Chinese food, DON'T EAT HERE.
Our family was happy to see China Station back up and running! We had been customers for 25 years under the original owners. Although the original owners are gone, walking into the restaurant still gave us a warm, cozy feeling.
The signature garlic chicken wings are still here! The taste is almost identical and it has the same texture with the crispy sensation in every bite.
The slight disappointment was the “hot” garlic chicken wings with the red pepper flakes are no longer an option. The is a new spicy chicken wing on the menu which will definitely leave your lips and tongue tingling.
There are some interesting new options on the menu which we do want to try with our next visit.
The food is not as good as it used to be and they don't have a full menu yet because they are still doing a soft open, but the food is better than most Chinese food places around here.
I ordered orange chicken and crab Rangoons, and both were bland. It could've used salt pepper spy sauce something. It was not worth the price. The service was good but the food is not worth it
It's a nice, quaint restaurant with really good food. Went during the soft opening and I'm excited to see more of them in the future!

Is this place still open?
I've been eating here for over 20 years. I've traveled across 5 continents and 40+ countries and this is still my favorite spot for fried chicken.

Been going here since I was 17 years old. Watched the kids that help out grow through out the years. Everything in there including the decors has been the same. It’s like a Time Machine. Loved the beef fried rice and the garlic fried chicken.
