Very welcoming environment and gotta say the customer service has always been the best of the best. Steaks and Burgers are my favorite here, never disappoints.

Owner was rude. I asked the owner for help with the menu for a vegetarian dish and his remark was dismissive. I will spend my time and money somewhere else. Oh, the food was subpar.

We've been wanting to try china cuisine for a long time after reading all the reviews online. I picked up my grandson from school and we went for an early dinner. We got there too early for the buffet. I was craving old style chow mein with crunchy noodles which I knew was on their menu. My grandson ordered the orange chicken which comes with rice. The sauce and crispiness was wonderful. He loved the first couple of bites. But afterwards said he was having a little bit of an aftertaste, he said it wasn't bad. But he liked it, and it was a nice large serving, not greasy, nice and crispy and the sauce was very good. They gave him a very small bowl of steamed rice to go with his orange chicken. I ordered one of the individual dinners that had chow mein, fried rice and sweet and sour pork. The chow mein was delicious. Just what I was craving. The fried rice was mushy. The sweet and sour pork had a very tasty sauce on it and was nice and crispy, but the meat was very tough and dry. I didn't eat the sweet and sour pork or the fried rice. I had enough chow mein left over to take home for later. They don't serve soup before the dinner or include an egg roll, like many other chinese restaurants do. They also add a 3.50% charge if you use a card to pay. I would like to go back and try the ribeye steak which everybody raves about but the next time, for chinese food, I'll stay local.

The service was good the tables need cleaning, the food on the other hand could use some work. My BBQ ribs were raw and the food tasted microwaved. The prices are way too high I just got appetizer and it was 42 dollors. I don’t recommend this place

Hands down, the ribeye steak at China Cuisine in Shafter, Ca is a steak masterpiece! I've been to steak houses and restaurants where steak is what they do. But I gotta tell ya, China Cuisine in Shafter. That's right a Chinese restaurant has the best steak! The steak was very thick and cooked to absolute perfection with just the right amount of char on the outside and a juicy, tender inside. I didn't think I was going to eat all of it but every bite was flavorful and seasoned beautifully, making it impossible to put my fork down. Trust me—this steak will leave your mouth watering and have you planning your next visit before you even leave.

If you're in Kern County and looking for an incredible Ribeye Steak. China Cuisine in Shafter, California, is where it's at!
I just happened to learn about this location through Bakersfields Local Restaurants' Facebook page. Someone asked, "Best local place to take someone for a birthday steak?" and this restaurant had several mentions right alongside Bakersfields usual suspects (Horse in The Alley, Hungry Hunter. KC Steakhouse); enough to stir my curiosity and justify the 30-minute drive.
My steak was well over 16ozs. and was paired with garlix toast, mashed potatoes and gravy (which were pretty plain, honestly), and came with a visit to the salad bar. You do have other side options of: rice (steamed or fried) or baked potato.
The steak alone is absolutely worth it, but pair the steaks au jus with the garlic toast, and you have a duo that takes all the dining senses to a new level.
Hats off to the chef. I'll definitely be visiting again.
