The China Inn was a great dine in experience for a party of 14! The service was top notch, they tended to us all without hesitation and welcomed us right in! The ambiance was family oriented and comfortable.

Lets talk about the food-- I yelped Chinese food places to eat in Tulare and so content with choosing this spot!

With 14 folks and different taste buds, we ordered a bit of everything and everything was OMG SOO GOOD!!! From the curry the jalapeño hot wings Combination fried rice Orange Chicken Sweet and sour pork Mongolian Beef KungPao Chicken crab rangoons house soup the chicken asparagus special was amazing!

They also surprised our Birthday Girl with a sweet serenade and dessert!

We don't pass through often but will say if ever in Tulare we highly recommend this place!!“

“We love their Broccoli 🥦 Beef 🥩, pork fried 🍚, and Shrimp 🦐 chowmein!!! Always fresh!!“

“This restaurant was clean, the staff was kind, and the food was delicious!

My daughter's favorite thing is orange chicken, so we stopped in on our road trip. It was pretty late and within an hour of closing time. They were out of the greens, but offered to cook some fresh for me. They were so good!!!

The staff was all especially kind and helpful. Great stop!“

“Gumbo Chinese surprised us — in the best way
We weren’t totally sure what to expect with a name like Gumbo Chinese, but this place came through — big time.

We ordered the ginger beef and pan-fried noodles, and both were solid hits. The ginger beef was bold, savory, and just the right kind of spicy-sweet. The noodles had great flavor, and while I personally wish they were a bit crispier, my wife really liked the texture just as it was — and she’s not easy to impress when it comes to noodles, so that says something.

We also got the orange chicken with chow mein, and that combo absolutely delivered. Crispy, flavorful chicken, paired with those noodles made it one of my wife’s favorite dishes of the night.

Overall? Gumbo Chinese is a low-key gem. Flavor-forward, generous portions, and clearly made with care. Next time I’ll just ask for extra-crispy noodles, but either way — we’re definitely coming back.

5 stars, no hesitation.“

“quick service, we had our meals within 18 minutes. The portions are good size, i have some cons. The food was salty and the rice had an off after taste. almost as if it was turning. Not sure what to make of it. it was a Friday afternoon so would have expected fresh food.“

“The best Asian food in town I recommended I like the salt and pepper shrimp and broccoli beef also the soups 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 and it’s healthy“

“Excellent food and service“

“Crispy noodles, ginger beef, and a little piece of Valley heaven
Let me just say this: Shanghai Chinese in Visalia has crispy pan-fried noodles. Like, actually crispy — fried on both sides. After four long years away from the Valley (trapped in an Oklahoma Chinese food wasteland), I was dreaming of this exact thing. And they delivered. Absolute fire.

I paired the noodles with their ginger beef and — boom — perfection. Honestly, that combo is all I need in life. My only personal nitpick? I’d love it even more without the carrots and green onions. Just give me that bold ginger and beef magic and I’m set. But I’m confident Judy (name on the receipt and clearly the MVP) will get me squared away next time when I ask. It was still delicious — a solid 99 out of 100, with one point docked for the veggies I didn’t ask for (haha).

We also tried the lemon chicken — great balance, not too tart, and a family favorite across the board.

And to put them to the real test? We ordered the pork fried rice. It’s the benchmark dish, and this one? Easily one of the best we’ve had anywhere. Packed with flavor, clearly made with love (and hopefully a generous shake of MSG — yum).

Yes, prices are a little higher than I remember from Valley standards, but the portions, flavor, and service — especially from the kind, no-nonsense lady up front — more than made it worth it.

Shanghai Chinese is the real deal. We’ll be back. Often.“

“500 MILES!!! That's how far our DoorDash driver (love my familia!!) drove to bring me Canton's 5.
Sweet and Sour Pork or Chicken.
My first eating memories in Life are of Misses Lee's Canton's Sweet and Sour Pork. There is no better Chinese food in the world!!
And mind you, I lived in China for an era of my Life and vacationed there! AND I've eaten at different Chinese restaurants all across the USA.

CANTON’S THE BEST!!“

“The food was very good and tasty. The Singapore Noodles, Salt and Pepper Fish, Jade Fried Rice, Pork Bun, Shrimp Dumplings and Sesame Ball all tasted wonderful and filled my Asian palate craving. My wife and I will surely return to try other items on their menu. Service was also excellent.“

“I been going to Chinese Kitchen for a long time, their food and service surpasses most restaurants. So if you ever want good Chinese food and a chance to have a great conversation with Kit, I recommend Chinese Kitchen“
