China Mountain II — Restaurant in Willowick

Very disappointed in having to write this review, but I want to bring awareness to others and hope an inspection will be done. We have been coming here for years. This was our go-to for Chinese take-out until a recent incident. Two completely different meals were ordered and we both found bugs/worms in our food within the first couple of bites. We were in shock and in denial. An immediate call was made to the restaurant to let them know and they kindly offered to make us a new meal, but we declined. They then offered to give us a refund. Both meals were returned and a refund was issued. When we brought back the dishes, a couple employees looked and confirmed they were indeed bugs and apologized.

Overall, the restaurant is take-out only/cash only, and the interior is very unkept and dirty with visible...

I got this last Thursday and had to write a review because it was so good, it popped into my mind again. I used to get this restaurant all the time years ago, but had stopped going. I remembered the quality being a little inconsistent. I had a random inkling to try it again and I’m so glad I did. The woman was friendly on the phone and nice when I went to pick up my food too. I am happy to say the food is exactly like I remembered it being. Everything was fresh, piping hot, the chicken was white inside and perfectly crispy and golden brown, and the rice was hot and delicious too. Sauce had great flavor, not too sweet. Thank you for a good meal because I really needed a comfort meal when I ordered it and it did all that...

The service was great, they are very welcoming compared to their local competitors (li garden) Atmosphere also seemed better than their competitors.

But, I don’t believe the food was better.. the lo mein was better, but the shrimp chips was over cooked and the egg rolls was okay.. nothing major about them.

I do enjoy that they have more options for egg rolls.. i may have some bias options because I enjoy the competitor and this was my second time ordering food from China mountain II… but, I would definitely come back.

I would love to make a video and judge the 2 places side by side for locals.. but, i dont see the point when its only locals that would care about...
