Chinaland Restaurant

My grandma wanted to come here for lunch & she spoke so highly of this place so I figured why not? We came in, and were seated right away. It was during lunch time and surprisingly there was no one else in the restaurant but us. The guy came and took our drink order and brought it out right away. When he came back we ordered the war wonton soup, spicy fried chicken wings, honey walnut shrimp, shrimp lo mein, and house fried rice. They brought us the soup within 15 minutes or so, and the spicy chicken wings followed right after. The flavoring of the soup & wings were up to par. And it was a generous size portion. Now, the reason being I’m only giving this place three stars is because we waited a long time for the rest of our food & service kind of lagged when it came to checking up on us & getting us refills. I mean, we were the only ones in the restaurant eating at the time & the waiter was just sitting at the register. When we got our bill it was kind of a shocker too, for just five items it came out to almost $ 100, granted we ate until we were full & had a good amount of left overs. Kind of disappointing, but other than the wait for the food, slow service, and the pricey bill, all the food we ordered was a 7/​10, everything was very flavorful and again the portions were generous.

Place is awesome! Great food and very nice staff. They have great weekend shows and things! Always different! Come enjoy! I sure did!!!

Had a great experience here with some friends last night. We ordered just about everything on the menu to sample and pretty much everything was delicious. I had a couple glasses of black label and the king pow wings with spring rolls and my bill was under $ 35. The manager was cool and gave us suggestions but I stuck to my guns and went with the wings as my main course. No complaints, delicious food, cold drinks, can’t wait for seconds.

Great place and great staff, I love this place. The owner goes out of his way to talk to you and listen to your concerns. They have weathered the economy and have been here for many years. If you dont like something, dont be a keyboard ninja and talk trash. Keep up the great work

The ambience is nice. The food is delicious, and the portion sizes are great; however, the customer service is appalling. Once seated and served my food, I wasn’t checked up on at all. I also waited 30 minutes before I had to go to the cashier for my check. The worst part: I was the only customer there to eat. Customer service is paramount; therefore, this place doesn’t deserve my time or my business.

Come in and sing karaōke on Wednesday nights with Marlon. We will have. lots of fun. All ages welcome with adult supervision. Happy hour until close on Wednesday night.

Daaaaamn, Chinaland! You are definitely part of Oxnard history if you’ve been around still for this long. I’m impressed!
My family and I have been coming here for many years for their fresh and flavorful Chinese food (obviously). They serve jjam pong (Korean spicy seafood noodle soup) and jja jang myun (noodles in black bean sauce).
The times before the ambiance felt a bit old and classical music was playing before but now they revamped the whole place and it looks really modern. i think they also remodeled the restaurant in order to make the hotspot Club Zen. Really feeling the new look.
Anyways, we ordered a couple orders of jjam ppon and bunch of shrimp entrees including orange shrimp, black pepper shrimp and Kung pao shrimp (It was a Lent Friday). Out of all the shrimp entrees, the black pepper shrimp was my fave! Orange shrimp was okay and kung pao shrimp was the close second. Jjam ppong of course is my parents’ all-​time go-​to soup.
Overall, a solid 4 outta 5 stars for Chinaland. Could be 3 but they’ve improved plenty :)

They say chicken soup is the best thing you can have when you’re sick.
They lied.
The best thing you can have is War Wong Ton soup from here.
Packed with chicken, beef, shrimp, noodles, celery, bamboo shoots, carrots, mushrooms & snow peas this soup packs in vitamins & FLAVOR!
The moment my husband, our children or myself feel any cold or flu like symptoms, this is where we eat.
Sizes:
A small can be shared by two people if being eaten as the main meal, but if soup is just a starer, then a small can feed up to four, maybe five people. A medium can feed my whole family & still have a small cup left over. A large, well a large can feed a small village.
We also love the Kung Pao Chicken, Almond Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, Egg Rolls, Egg Flour Soup, House Noodles, and the ever famous Pu Pu Platter.
It’s a spacious place, great for large parties, and yet there are a few tables where you can be tucked away for a more romantic dinning experience.
Best of luck!

Came in because I was waiting on my laundry next door. The chow fun is superb. Freshly made to order!

I was not impressed with the special fried rice. It was a healthy portion, but the rice was all chopped looking and bland. The eggs were scorched and gave it a burnt flavor. I also had a couple of sour pieces of sonething. Gave up, to the bin it went. Wasted $. The shrimp seemed fresh. I wll not return. Go to Chinese Dumpling House instead.

China land is my family’s favorite Chine restaurant. The honey walnut prawns are delicious.

Good price, and a take out option, but food is pretty bland. It’s convenient but I have a feeling the food is frozen before hand.

Great music on Sunday night… but the food and service were the worst I’ve ever had in years. Go for the music and a drink… don’t eat there.

The only reason I gave it two stars is because the food is good. The service is HORRIBLE! They take too long to take your order and bring your food to you. Expect to be there for awhile make sure you have time to spare if you want to eat there. The prices are super high! Their drinks are extremely expensive even during happy hour. I enjoy their food but I don’t think I would go back gain.

Awesome food! Love the sesame chicken, pork short ribs and especially mooshoo! Will definitely come back again !

Typical Chinese, one of a few Chinese food landmarks on the North-​Centralside of Oxnard. The South end begins South of Wooley.

We used to eat here. Dining in was a good experience. Good food and good service THEN, we ordered for pick up one evening. The food quality was entirely different and the chicken was bad, spoiled, gone south. Too bad. I love Chinese.

Daytime version of Club Zen? I can’t really give a fair review… I’m spoiled with Chinese food from Monterey Park /​SGV! Not bad, kind of pricy.

My daughters and I wanted Chinese food the first night of our vacation and Chinaland was what we happened upon. We should have continued on. it did satisfy our craving but not in the best way. We took none of our left-​overs with us.
I was unable to identify what was in the vegetable egg foo yung. Tasted almost like a bad potato pancake.
The mu shu pork was good but came pre-​wrapped. Had never seen it served that way.
Next time, I will do some research before just «settling» on a restaurant.

Unless you’re a local, Chinaland is probably a restaurant that you wouldn’t intend to visit. Even if you are a local, you’ve probably only glanced at it when you’ve driven by the Oxnard airport.
Why does it seemingly give you this negative vibe? Well, you’re in South Oxnard for one, it’s also located at the corner of the CVS plaza, the area is kind of run-​down, and it’s not near any of the freeways. However, this hasn’t stopped me and my parents from frequenting this place since I was in middle school.
To be honest, it actually doesn’t differ from many of the Chinese restaurants that you could find in Chinatown, but that doesn’t mean much. They still use the same rubbery meat (It kind of makes me wonder why I’ve never actually found a cut of meat that resembles anything like that), perfectly sliced ‘zigzag’ carrots, and the same monotonous sauce used in many of their dishes.
So why do we still go there? I don’t know exactly. But they don’t use MSG and their staff are really good people. Their vegetables are fresh and you can see one of the older ladies snapping the ends of the long beans to prep them for cooking. Their Chinaland special crispy noodles are also above average, and well… that’s really about it.
I’d give this: a ¹⁰⁄₂₀. It’s your typical Chinese food fare, with an added bonus of No MSG and wonderful service. If you live near the area, it wouldn’t hurt to order takeout. However, if you’re actually looking for a good dinner for the same prices, visit Peking Inn at Camarillo.
