Very well prepared tasty Chinese food.
The crab fried rice had imitation crab meat
We are regulars here and are always satisfied. It isn’t a fancy place, but they get the job done and get the basics right. If you can’t get egg rolls right you shouldn’t be in business. Happily, the egg rolls are exactly right and I haven’t had any regrets from any other dishes ( sooo many other dishes)from egg foo young to moo shu pork and beyond. My order has always been correct and 20 minutes seems to be the average for when it is ready, maybe 20-25 when very busy. I am happy to have China Inn close by when an egg roll craving hits!
I loveeeee their pork fried rice, it never fails to amaze me on how amazing their food is. I love how they pack their food and the price is worth the amount of food.
A family friend and I ordered here and we thought it was fine. It wasn’t a complicated order, it was shrimp with snow peas and house fried rice as well as steamed chicken with rice two egg rolls and then we went back to order spare ribs. When we got home we found out that the shrimp and snow peas was changed to shrimp with mixed vegetables without our knowledge. When we told them we want them to fix this and give us what we ordered, they said it was our fault for ordering shrimp with snow peas and expecting it to only be shrimp and snow peas. We asked if we came in and they would give us what we originally ordered, the shrimp and snow peas, they said yes with no extra charge. Then when we got there they lied and said she never had our conversation. We explained that they falsely advised and was refusing to make it right to the two male family members who said we were in the wrong for ordering shrimp and snow peas. They refused to correct the situation and said we just shouldn’t come back if we don’t know how to order. They refuse to take accountability and prefer to weed out customers they really can’t afford to lose. This restaurant uses gaslighting, manipulation and self sabotage to do their business. If shooting yourself in the foot was a Chinese restaurant, it would be China Inn.

I have eaten here for many years, since it was taken over by new owners it just isn't the same. The chicken on a stick is deep fried to leather, the fried dumplings are not dumplings at all but are store bought pot stickers at $7.45 per 8. Unfortunately I have had no luck at any chinese restaurant in my area. It's as though they just don't care anymore.

This was my first time here and food was absolutely delicious! Service was extremely fast and the front desk lady was friendly and had a bright smile on her face! The restaurant could use some remodeling and updating but overall good first experience!

Food was very good!! Lots of mixed reviews on here, however my husband and I enjoyed it. I got the orange chicken and Buddhist delight. Husband got shrimp chow mien and pot stickers. Everything was cooked well and good flavor. Orange chicken had pieces of orange in it which was nice. Rice was cooked well. Not over or under cooked. Vegetables perfectly steamed!! Which can be hard to find. Quick service about 20mins. Small restaurant part so mostly would be for take out.

Placed order by phone and was told 20-25 minutes, it took 55 minutes. They were not that busy. They kept telling me, waiting for dumplings. Looks like they are short of help. Also have never responded dining room since "Covid"
