China Station — Restaurant in Oakhurst

We arrived at a large parking lot with the sun blasting from the sky. The only noise was the slow humming of cars passing by behind us. No person was to be seen, in what was a peak American moment. With the American flag waving across from us, we entered the establishment and were greeted by cold and agreeable AC chilled air. With a friendly nod we were shown to a table. It was 1.30pm on a Sunday, and there were 4 tables occupied. By the door, there was an elderly lady eating with what might be a grand child. In the center of the room, a large group congregated around a big round table (typically Chinese restaurant like, if I may add), with a rotating center. This center is meant for aharing food, but this group was each having their own meal, no center food to be seen. And finally, a group of 4 having a quite discussion

We ordered the Tofu dishes, the waiter was brisk but efficient. As a side we got the fried rice, with vegetables, highly recommended. Our waters were brought out by a Chinese boy, the waters with plenty of ice, and fresh taste.

While waiting for the food we got to appreciate theinterior design, clearly Yosamite themed with many studfed animals, and pictures of scenery. Overall a cozy and calm vibe, where we felt at ease

The food was splendid, well seasoned, and plenty. So much in fact we were able to take almost a full additional meal home with us.

We recommend this place warmly,...

This is a great spot if you’re craving real Chinese food, not the fast food kind. It’s a small, family-run place with that classic Chinese restaurant vibe you see on TV: round tables, Chinese decor, simple and homey. Also, they’ve got the AC on blast, which is a nice bonus, especially on a hot day.

When we went (right at opening on a weekday), it was just the owner running both the front and the kitchen. Even though he was super busy, he still took the time to check in on us, which we really appreciated.

We got the fileted fish which is usually hot and spicy, but I asked if it could be made not spicy, and he made it just how I wanted. It was delicious. We also had the sweet and sour pork. Big portion, good for two people, and we still had leftovers to take home.

The shrimp fried rice was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. I ended up ordering another one to go, and the owner gave me a bigger portion without charging extra.

We also had Thai iced tea. Perfect sweetness. My sister wanted one to-go, but they ran out of cups. Luckily, we had a venti-sized cup and he filled it up, no problem, just charged the regular price.

Prices are super reasonable, portions are solid, and the food is made with care. Just be patient if they’re busy—it’s worth it. Definitely give this...

Honestly, I don’t know why this place has so many bad reviews. All I can think is that the competition is trying very hard to beat them. Many reviews from local guides may receive compensation from competitors. It should be very hard for this Chinese family to strive in a place like this when they are constantly harassed for being the only Chinese restaurant in town. The restaurant is clean, the decoration is beautiful. The service was quick, and the food was great. We ordered food for five people, alcoholic drinks, appetizers, and the cost did not surpass $110. They have plenty of options for vegetarian people, which was important for us since we were traveling with two vegetarians. The server was very nice; however, if you are expecting a conversation with the server and jokes, you are in the wrong place. Many reviewers misjudge this family based on their culture. You need to be culturally sensitive to know that Chinese culture is very different from American and Hispanic cultures too. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for vegetarian options, quick service, and an...
