Good standard Chinese food restaurant. A little pricey but the portions are big and the lunch special is a very good deal. The beer is very cheap by New York City standards. I thought the chicken teriyaki appetizer was pretty good and probably enough for a whole meal.

I’m very spoiled by Portland restaurants, but I love China Rose! The food is very good and the owner is awesome.

I could drink the wanton soup by the gallon it’s so good. It’s made from fresh chicken stock and had the most delicate dumplings with shredded pork & a little cabbage. I suggest: Hot and sour soup Dumplings Sesame chicken Moo shoo chicken Snow pea pods Chicken lo mein I’ve been coming here since 1999(they moved up the street when I was in college) and the soup is still consistently the best. Lan, a waitress, is the sweetest.

This restaurant was fantastic. The food was amazing. This is a place I would recommend to anyone who likes Chinese food. I believe the only reason this place has only three stars is because it is in a bad location. The only reason I am giving this four stars is because it was kind of pricy, the food was very good but not perfect and the desserts were bad(and my companions all thought it was four stars not five). But overall, I loved the restaurant and would suggest it.

I’ve only been here once. It was this past Fourth of July and it was about quarter ’til 10. Even on July 4, Freeport rolls up the sidewalks, and we had just come from the festivities at the L.L. Bean campus(The Mavericks! Fireworks!). The China Rose was about to close, yet they seated our party of six and expeditiously brought out drinks and plates upon plates of hot, delicious and fresh food. Fantastic crab rangoons. Perhaps the best-I’ve-ever-tasted chicken fingers(light, crisp and less greasy than the norm). Top-notch Sesame Chicken — nothing blazing any trails, but all exceptionally and quickly prepared. I don’t recall when I’ve had a better experience with Chinese cuisine. Also, despite the proximity to closing time, the staff could not have been any more cordial. Will definitely go back.

Seriously disappointed in what is usually a great dining experience. Ordered extra spicy General Taos Chicken with extra sauce and boneless BBQ pork with extra sauce. Neither had extra sauce and the chicken was tough, stringy, over cooked, and no spice at all. I’m hoping this is just one off night and not a sign of things to come. I will go back but this is strike one.

Pretty decent place to grab a buffet lunch. Stopped here during a business run and was impressed with the buffet. Servers were friendly and very prompt to clear plates and bring refills on soda and water. Not the best buffet but if I was in the area and had a craving for some Chinese I’d visit again.

A little boofay China Rose is an attractive and quaint little restaurant that offers a lunch boofay on most days. Not the largest selection of items but the quality of the food is definitely above that of most American Asian types of boofays. The restaurant is small but has room to spread out and has a very pleasant and attractive décor. The service was attentive and very friendly with lots of smiles and laughs. The food was all good but traditional, the stuff you would expect in a boofay. The difference was that the food seemed more flavorful, fresher and tastier than some of the stuff you encounter in boofays with many items. Not a the largest quantity of stuff but the quality is definitely a step above the usual. And the best part is that it’s still a boofay which means you won’t leave hungry,

Waaaaay too expensive for the quality of food. I got sesame chicken, a drink, and an app, and it cost me almost $ 30. If the food was good, I could understand that price, but the quality is that of the cheapest chinese place you can think of. I guess they just charge more because they’re in Freeport.

Tried China Rose tonight after many years and to be honest it wasn’t very good at all ordered fried rice wonton soup and Crab Rangoon’s… for almost $ 20 everything was super greasy and the rice had no flavor what so ever. Wonton soup was ok. Prob wont go back.

I am Chinese and I visited Maine for a short trip and stopped by Freeport. We ate some Western style lobster during the trip and decided to try a lobster cooked in Chinese style. The owner cooked the lobsters himself and it was done just right. I can say it is even better than the one I had in Vancouver, BC. I didn’t order other food but I highly recommend the scallion and ginger lobster.

This used to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in Maine, but is now average at best.

It wasn’t bad but it’s nothing I would rave about either.1.) Sweet and sour chix– deep fried chix balls with sauce on the side– no veggies. 2.)general taos chix– brown and stringy meat, weird sauce– no veggies .3)Beef lo-mein salty and greasy 4.)fried rice– oily and flavorless When in Maine… order a lobster?

Disclaimer: The fifth star is because this particular restaurant is not within driving, canoeing, kayaking, or trekking distance of any other very-good Chinese restaurant. It is right next to the really amazing L.L. Bean outlet if you wanted to attempt any of that though. China Rose has all of the comforts of Chinese food from a good, metropolitan Chinatown restaurant, but the benefit(or detriment) of being located next to nothing more than trees and outlets. The food is quite traditional for the Chinese restaurants you might find in Boston’s Chinatown, but everything I tried has always been very good. I’m not sure if Asian food in Maine gets any better than this.
