China Bistro — Restaurant in Bakersfield

it’s extremely unprofessional to make drivers of food delivery orders to make way excessive times versus customers walking in getting priority service. Meanwhile, the customer is waiting for their food to get delivered are also probably on a strict time restraint just like the customers walking in.. Additionally, the uncaring this of the workers towards the driver and as a result, the customer ordering I probably confused why their food is taking so long meanwhile, other restaurants are able to have orders ready on arrival, but this store never does….. it says a lot about their willingness to cater to customers ordering online versus customers walking in. I had 10+ customers helped before my order was even started for this delivery and it’s not the first time. if you’re going to order food online, I wouldn’t recommend ordering it from here because they don’t care if your food takes a long time. people ordering nearby or ordering from this restaurant because they think it will be a quick eat. They don’t know that ordering online from this restaurant will cause you to wait extra time because they don’t care about how long it takes to get out that order when an order is expected to be picked up at a certain time it’s expected to be picked up at that times not only affect the driver, but the customer. when you’re paying extra to order food online, you would expect to be treated the same, but you are not you are treated...

DO NOT EAT HERE! I got very sick with food poisoning and suffered greatly! Tony the cook/manager along with Tina (if that’s even her real name) did not want to take blame for undercooking the coconut shrimp. First, they tried to serve me old food and then didn’t wanna serve me fresh food at my request. They were rude disrespectful, and did not care. When I tried to return the food, she said oh I have to call the manager and I said go ahead but then after I said, go ahead, return the food I do t want it. Then she call’s the manager all of a sudden & wanted to remake the food. Everyone knows what goes along with food poisoning. So I’d rather save you all the details! The amount of pain and suffering involved was unbearable. They need to take accountability for their poor actions of not following proper protocols when cooking seafood and the time limits. Please take your money and your business elsewhere. Save your self the pain & suffering. This place is not worth it. It’s completely changed. It used to be so much better. I’ve been living in Bakersfield for over 10 years and everything seemed to change after Covid. DO NOT COME HERE! I REPEAT,...

Ordered two chicken and broccolis through Uber Eats. These are advertised to feed 2-3ppl each (laughable upon arrival). We only received one steamed rice, though advertised that each meal comes with a steamed rice. You do the math - we should’ve received two steamed rices.

Moving on to taste and texture:

1. The reviews are spot on about the chicken being chewy and low grade. I pulled SIX pieces of chicken gristle out of my mouth upon consumption (my partner counted four in theirs).

2. The meal was heavily salted and smothered in garlic. There was an unidentified mucus-like texture amongst the chicken. If you’ve ever had old chicken develop a mucus-like texture in the back of your fridge, you know what I’m talking about. It was yellow and disgusting. I spit out my food immediately.

Leaving two stars bc the broccoli looked fresh and my dog enjoyed the meal.
