China Cafe

Good Chinese food– I loved the Crab Rangoon.
The hibachi beef was also good but, was very different from what you would get from a Japanese takeout.
BEWARE– there is one main lady (may be the owner) who is very rude and unreasonable. I decided not to order there anymore for that reason only.

Wrote a pretty mean line about her attitude before, but hey if I worked at a restaurant overtime my attitude would change for the absolute worse. Anyways, the food is actually the best for Chinese take-​out all around Greensboro. The chicken is actually crispy and not a pile of soggy mush (tired of it from like 75% of them), I think she takes good pride in her recipes and cooking, definitely shows because I got the wild card of Chinese take-​out which is Singapore noodles, varies with every restaurant. Hers is by far the best yet. Doesn’t have that funky curry taste like a lot of them have, just a good seasoned taste. She’s definitely got the hot pepper too.

I give them a three star because the very first time i ordered from here the chicken wing was on point but i order from today and got some uncooked food man this is not cool because my children liked the chicken but i had to put in the oven. Never again cant

Well the place is completely empty and this lady started to help us and half way through my question another lady came out and sent her away and was being a total bitch to us throughout our order. So that was a pretty horrible introduction to this place.
But the food was great, tasty and moist chicken.

Food is ok at best. This use to be my favorite Chinese take-​out place until new owners — quality of food has suffered immensely.

Awesome Black Pepper Chicken & crispy spring rolls. This location is my #1 Chinese delivery spot YUMMY and they were very courteous & helpful when I called 2 place the order.

Amazing, quick, delicious Chinese takeout. If you’re in the UNCG area, this is a staple. The owner is really nice and makes an effort to know her repeat customers.
Highly recommend.

Decent Americanized Chinese food. The general Tso’s chicken and the kung pao chicken or shrimp are both good. The Mongolian beef is a good choice as well. Their close and they deliver, so it’s sometimes the right choice.

No.
Went by here for the first time because I was craving egg rolls and didn’t want to make the trek to China’s Best or Golden Wok. Those two places are top in my opinion for Chinese in the GSO area but this isn’t their review.
I went in on a Friday night around 830 and there was one patron waiting for her order, the rest of the place was empty. I had a pocket full of change and ordered up two egg rolls, $ 2.60. Cool. About 5 minutes later they were done but not before I witnessed two individuals coming from the kitchen eating egg rolls of their own. I should have known I was in for a GI adventure…
The rolls themselves were unimpressive, smaller than their competitors and greasy, the filling bland and too wet. I was hungry so I drowned them in duck sauce.
Within 8 hours I was in full purge mode, nasty stuff. To say the least I won’t be paying these jokers a visit again.

New chef! If you haven’t tried this place recently, you are missing out. Food is wonderful. Delivery is spot on. Give it another chance.

Best Chinese take-​out in Greensboro, hands-​down. I’ve tried everything, and China Café excels in two points that usually end up being mutually exclusive:
1. Tasty, flavorful, food, whether it’s classic dishes like sweet and sour chicken or slightly less common orders like the Singapore chow mein fun (with which I cannot be trusted; theirs is so good, I would love a giant bucket of it and a good set of shows on Netflix that I can binge-​watch).
2. Fast delivery. I’ve ordered from them a handful of times and they’re always at my door in less than 30 minutes, with hot food and courteous delivery men.
As previous reviewers have noted, this is Americanized Chinese food — fantastic, reliable Americanized Chinese food, but ACF nonetheless, hence I cannot give it more than three stars.

We are always looking for very good Americanized Chinese food — you know, decent egg roll, fried rice, egg foo young, hot & sour soup, chicken wings, Szechuan Beef or Chicken, and so forth. There just are not many places in Greensboro that CONSISTENTLY serve up good versions of these kinds of dishes. Golden Dragon is usually pretty good but the service aspects keep me from going there. Golden Wok is solid but it is a hassel getting in and out of that location.
This place offered some nice food for a while, but then the place changed hands, and the food and service suffered badly, to say the least. We were encouraged to try it again now that there is new ownership (since June) that seems on the right track. But alas, we cannot join those who praise the culinary efforts here. This food is ordinary at best, with the majority of the dishes split between the rather unusual, and the just not good.
The appetizers were the best of breed, well mostly –the Chicken Wings were excellent, everything you’d want in a Chinese wing; the Shrimp Egg Roll was equally nice, and contained shrimp that could be recognized as such; the Pork Dumplings were not at all to our liking, with an herb or spice that simply overpowered everything, awful stuff; and the Hot & Sour Soup was very good, loaded with flavor & an enjoyable amount of heat.
After the apps, everything kinda went to hell. The Black Pepper Chicken was a bizarre version — heavily breaded, no sauce, no onion, no pepper, no flavor, no re-​order. The Szechuan Beef would not have been bad had we ordered Pepper Steak, but we didn’t order Pepper Steak — no spice, no heat, and there was broccoli in it, MEH! Re-​order not an option.
The Orange Beef was equally unimpressive — doughy, with no spice or heat. The Pork Egg Foo Young, itself, was not bad, but the «gravy» was too sweet, smothered the taste of everything else. The Shrimp Chow Mein was not at all bad in taste, but had few shrimp, and was mostly cabbage — the noodles were nice though. The Fried Rice was the first we’ve encountered that was just rice — no vegetables, no meat, no egg, no flavor.
The menu here is very broad, maybe too broad. The offer a full array of the usual Chinese dishes, as well as a small number of Japanese ones, including Miso Soup, Tempura, Gyoza, and a few Hibachi choices.
The folks here are friendly, and the prices are reasonable, but there’s just not nearly enough good, or even ordinary, to make a revisit likely.

We ordered from China café one night TEN MINS before closing and they happily delivered and it was hands down the best Chinese dinner I’ve had. Will be going back for more!

Good choice for delivery. The food is pretty good, not the best, but enjoyable. I like the on-​line ordering, they even provide an estimated delivery time. Took 45 minutes to get our order. Will Definately order delivery again.

This local gem is back in a big way. This may again be the best Chinese food in Greensboro. There was a period when China Café was not good, but those days are over. That management team and chef have been replaced by new owners/​managers/​chefs who are friendly and have really restored, if not surpassed, the great food and service of original owners of the China Café. After not going to this restaurant for months due to bad food and poor experiences with the old management, I’ve been several times over the last couple of weeks since I discovered that new management has again taken over. The food is delicious. Really incredibly good Chinese food. The place is clean and bright with a new façade and the delivery is also fast and efficient. Highly recommended!

Under new management Now, everything looks brand new, friendly stuff and food was greatest :-)

We get Chinese at this place at least 2 times a month. It’s quick and the lady is very friendly. The prices are fair and when you want a decent amount of food it is great. There are more places with more options that are more expensive but this works will in my budget. Also they offer a great lunch time buffet with classic options that is great!
For ease, convenience and good flavors they get 4 stars.

I’m not sure how I feel about this place yet. I did carry out a few weeks ago and ordered sesame chicken. The serving was huge and the food was really good. Today, I tried the lunch buffet and I’m still out on it. The sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken were great. Lo mein was average, egg rolls yummy, but the rest of the stuff didn’t reallly float my boat. I’d probably go again because they’re cheaper than the Chinese buffet on New Garden, but I can’t say it’s my favorite.

A chinese friend recommended China Café as very good. It is convenient and we have been several times. We have enjoyed the food which has been consistently good. It has a few tables but is primarily take-​out which is prompt.

Ordered take out the other night, probably the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. Greasy and flavorless. My husband got hibachi, which somehow managed to taste worse than my entrée. I wanted to like this place, it’s so close by. :(
