China Cafe — Restaurant in Gastonia

Very good food. Exceptionally flavorful hot / sour loaded with ingredients. Chicken with mixed vegetables filled with meat, broccoli, carrots, onion, mushrooms and baby corn—slathered in flavorful sauce. Try the shrimp egg rolls with large juicy shrimp. Fried rice has large pieces of veggies incorporated, sweet and sour chicken or pork comes with a good portion of sauce, steamed dumpling portion is generous size with great flavor and firmness. All meals I’ve had have been large enough for 2 servings. Visit at lunch for the combo deals at a great price! See below for tip about ordering in-person.

The food here is really good , always tastes fresh and hot. The staff is friendly, and the orders get filled pretty quickly. They also do have an area to dine in, although I hardly ever see people dining inside. They also appear to be pretty clean . My only issue with them is when I ask them to prepare my shrimp well done ,they always say ok,but...
