China Border — Restaurant in Laredo

4 years ago, I had a very different experience. The place was good and the food was good but all good things come to an end. Today, I was downtown for an event and I craved that delicious food only to be highly disappointed at the end when I noticed a cockroach sitting at the bottom of my plate. I felt repulsed and while I didn't cause a big scene and tried to be discreet and advised our waiter. Needless to say, I wasn't about to blast them but the rudeness of the woman at the cashier station was the icing on the cake. Instead of taking ownership of their fault for this incident, she was "well she almost finished the plate" and didn't want to give us a refund for my plate while our poor waiter was pleading for her to take it off our tab. She made it seem that it was my fault for not noticing it before I consumed the plate and that she was going to lose money on the ingredients used for the Seafood delight. I mean if I had known that they serve up the dishes with extra protein, I wouldn't be there in the first place. Needless to say, this restaurant is no longer on my list of places you must visit. If you're into extra protein, this is your place but if you're repulsed by it like I am, beware of what you're consuming.

OMG, definitely the best Chinese restaurant in Laredo. Came here because saw really good opinions in Google so decided to give it a try, and what a surprise. Although some dishes might seem a bit pricey, believe me it's totally worth it.

Definitely we'll come again to try others items from the menu . They also have a few vegan/vegetarian options...

Ok...don't trust someone that tells you that you're better off going to Panda Express because we all know that person is diluted. China Border is authentic Chinese cuisine that surpasses any of the Chinese places in Laredo. The produce is fresh and the food extremely flavorful. I would highly suggest the Crab Wontons & Steamed Dumplings - try your hand at the Chicken & Vegetables with chili oil and also some good General Tso's Chicken - this place is simple in decor and really private. Take your date here for some privacy and great food - I give it a huge thumbs up! Oh and I order take out allll them time and they ALWAYS answer - in fact just...
