China Restaurant

It’s everything you would expect from a restaurant called The China in a place like Bowling Green, Ohio. Yes, THE CHINA is what the restaurant’s sign reads. I laughed so hard I about fell over when I first saw this place’s name! Needless to say, it’s nowhere near authentic. It’s generic Chinese-​American food, with rather high prices and small portions.
I feel like they try really hard to emulate P.F. Chang’s/Pei Wei’s style of Chinese food, but it doesn’t even hold a candle to either. It did come out quickly, but everything was swimming in the same copious amount of what tasted like overly sweet teriyaki sauce… SO MUCH SUGAR! Also, the cuts of meat were not tender and I could tell were very cheap.
The service was poor. Our waiter was this very attitudinal, sullen, red-​haired dude who was just rude, unfriendly, and never smiled. I was with two black friends, and Bowling Green locals are known to be pretty racist, and I feel like this was a large part of why we were treated so rudely. He also kept forgetting things we asked for and we had to remind him a few times. We tried to do him a favor by splitting the bill with how much we wanted to have put on each card, and he rudely informed us that they don’t apparently pick up your bill from the table (!!) but you have to go up to the register to pay. I’d expect that maybe from a far less expensive place, like maybe a diner, but this place?
I had heard from some locals that this place was supposed to be good, and maybe for local, native Bowling Greeners, who are some of the whitest and least cultured people I have ever encountered in this country, it’s great. But to me, it was just below average to average Chinese-​American food with RUDE service. I will not be going back.

Best Chinese in the State of Ohio. I highly recommend the sesame chicken or princess shrimp. Service is good, carry out is efficient. Only complaint is the weird hours. Anytime I’m in or within a 50 mile radius of Bowling Green, I plan my trip around being able to eat here. Yes, that’s sad, but it’s just so damn good.

Have been going here for years. Love the food and serving sizes are more than adequate. like that brown rice now a choice. Visiting family regard it as a must. Irritating hours, closed way too much, which causes drama for visiting family. Atmosphere quiet and «talkable». Soft classic music. Their tea best ever. A very accommodating staff. Yesterday one waiter handled our group of 18 with complete efficiency, including 18 separate checks. Parking great, very handicap accessible.

Too pricey, small portions. Go to a different place.

The fresh veggies were delicious. They even had lunch portions for dinner, which was nice.

Too pricey and small portions.
