China Pavilion is a welcoming restaurant offering a pleasant dining experience. The menu features authentic, flavorful Chinese cuisine, with dishes like beef and broccoli, honey walnut shrimp, and whole steamed fish highly recommended. Fried wontons and vegetable pot stickers are crisp and flavorful, while chicken fried rice, chow mein noodles, Kung Pao chicken, and Mongolian beef are fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious. For vegetarians, the Kung Pao tofu is a specific recommendation. Portion sizes are generous, and sides such as rice are available. The restaurant has a long history of providing reliably good food, making it a great bet for dining. It is convenient to get to, with free parking for the first 75 minutes. While the service can be hit or miss due to being short-staffed, the food truly stands out, with many dishes being some of the best ever had. The owner is super nice and apologizes for any wait. The lunch specials offer good value.
