Went for dim sum and they honestly did not have a wide selection to choose from. When we first walked in, we stood at the front door for about 5 minutes with no one to greet us. There wasn't a worker around to seat us and only one table was filled with customers. There were tables left uncleaned and the presentation of the restaurant was not desirable. The employee stayed at our table to talk to us for a long period of time instead of cleaning up after the dirty tables. In the end, I left a $2 tip for our $25 meal but before leaving the waitress chased after us to ask for a higher tip...it's safe to say we won't be returning.

I cannot rate the food. We sat for at least 15 minutes before someone came over to order. The restaurant definitely needs remodeling! The condition of the seats, tables, decor, etc. is outdated, dirty, and the smell was awful. We decided to leave as the excuse to not cooking us fried rice because the kitchen was busy….my party of 4 plus another party of 4 ….??♀️! Walked down the street to Triple Crown 5/5!

The service was okay, but we were told about the extra menu. When the food came after 25 minutes, it was bland and tasted like nothing. Won't be coming back.

Food wasn’t that good but the prices are more than reasonable.. for cleanliness.. it’s terrible, I can feel and hear every step I take and it smells like sewage.

Food was tasty, but the place is understaffed. Cleanliness is a MAJOR issue, I would not dine-in here.

My family and I were at the China Cafe for nearly 2 hours and only received half our order. Bathrooms were sticky and disgusting. Would not recommend this place to anyone, not even my worst enemy.

The food tastes more from South of China than north of China. It's okay.
Servers were very rude and dismissive but the food was very good. I the general ambiance it's a very cozy quiet lunch or dinner spot for friends or by yourself.
