Found on Google Maps after taking train from San Francisco to San Jose after Giants game, and before driving to Santa Cruz. Delicious Chinese standard fare, large portions, friendly service, super clean. Highly recommend 👌

Delicious food, good portions, reasonable price. We ate here every week during the panini and they were so so friendly. We moved away but always try to get some when we are passing through. Tastes like childhood memories.

This place is tiny and it sucks. They hang up on you if they think you might even think about finishing your order. A rice dinner plate is exactly that. All rice, then they added broccoli to it without listing it on their menu. This is no place to eat, go anywhere else

Really great American Chinese spot. You should really go here instead of panda. Help out a local business.

1st time and not the last. We’ve probably driven by them a hundred times but tried them with grub hub on Christmas Day. Wow. We will be back. Thank you for the great food

I wanted to order for pick up as I'm home sick. My neighbor was gracious enough to offer to p/u for me. China Inn said they have no card reader for phone orders! They just lost a potential customer.

Great sweet and sour chicken. The chicken pieces are really big which could be a plus or minus depending on how you like it, but the sauce was great, chicken not overcooked, and good fried rice.

The place is tiny, but compared to other tiny Chinese takeout places, not stuffy and very clean. The hostess was very polite and I noticed that tables were bussed very quickly.

This area of SJ / Santa Clara can be really hard to find good "basic" Chinese takeout, but if you're looking for all sorts of bite-sized pieces of chicken, beef or pork in a familiar variety of sauces, this is the best option I've found within a 10 minute drive of PayPal.

Parking: You'll have to get lucky with curb parking on the Alameda or down one of the residential side-streets. All dedicated lots in the area are "X parking only", and this place has no lot of its own.

Wheelchair accessibility: No weird thresholds or floor warping, standard height tables with movable chairs. Sidewalk in acceptable condition.

I rarely write reviews and even less give negative reviews. I know it’s not easy for everyone. But I have to complain about this store. I ordered takeout, one fried beef river and one Kung Pao shrimp. Niuhe actually uses rice rolls to stir-fry? ! ! It was made into lumps and lumps, which were extremely unpalatable! Kung Pao Shrimp is also a side dish! The most outrageous thing is that even though they knew it was being delivered to the hotel room, there were no cutlery or paper towels!
