China Cafe — Restaurant in Porterville

Wow, this place has been around my entire life, and I’m only now trying it in 2025. Let me tell you, it’s absolutely delicious!

The potstickers were incredibly juicy, flavorful, and tender. They were filled to the brim with goodness. The egg roll was crunchy and flavorful, and the french fries were so bland. The burger was juicy and cheesy, with a good amount of flavor. It could have been better, but it was still quite good, not bad!

The rice was cooked perfectly and flavorful. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavors from the meat. The orange chicken was juicy, flavorful, and tender. The chow mein noodles were cooked perfectly and had amazing flavors.

The customer service was excellent. They greet you with a warmly and allowed me to sit anywhere I wanted. They came to my table very quickly and asked if everything was good. The place was clean, which is a huge plus. I still can’t believe this place...

(The cafe, dine in) is very out dated and lacking up keep in maintenance and repair, along with cleanliness. Looked like it had not had a good...

We stopped here for lunch on Chinese New Year. Surprisingly, everything we ordered was delicious and exceeded our expectations. (I am half Thai-Chinnese, and I judge hard on these two cuisines.) The service was fast and excellent! You can't beat the price. My Salt and Pepper Shrimp was cooked perfectly, nice and crispy outside. Mongolian beef was delicious. The ginger beef was flavorful, using natural ginger instead of powder, just like back home. House-fried rice is good too. They don't charge for water and hot tea. (Most Chinese and Japanese restaurants in town charge about $4 for a hot tea with no refill.)

You should give this place a try! They have an excellent price on Lunch Menu and...
