Editorial Review for China Sea – by Lois M. Rodriguez

In Short
Chinese tchotchke and Muzak lend cultural flair, as do the deep reds, greens and gold-tone accents of its pagoda-like arch in the dining room. Never mind the close-captioned televisions. This quiet spot serves as a functional lunch stop for employees of area business parks. A Mandarin combination plate features beef, chicken, shrimp and vegetables in the chef's special sauce. The moo goo gai pan is packed with crispy vegetables.

Insider Tips

Midday Special

Lunchtime combination plates are a deal at $5.25 for soup, an appetizer and samplings from two main dishes of the day and fried rice.

Location

On a street replete with strip mall after identical strip mall, it's easy to miss. It's on the opposite end of Mr. Gatti's.

China Sea is right around the corner from my house so it's a go-to on nights when my fiance and I are just too tired or too busy to cook dinner. The food is okay, but definitely not great and the service varies - great on one visit, nonexistent on the next. If you are ordering takeout I highly recommend actually going in to order it. Out of the last 5 times we've ordered over the phone and gotten takeout my order has been wrong 3 times. It's not great but it's convenient so we will probably continue to get our takeout from here. The prices are very fair for what you get.

Pros: Convenient, Quick, Cheap, Easy Parking

Cons: 3/5 times I've gotten the wrong food, food isn't great

This place is okay and the food is not bad. It is nothing to write home about but the prices are fair and the service is good. I like it that the owner works there too and takes the time to make sure your meal is right or address any potential issues. I think some people here have overrated it, but again, it is worth the money if you just want some run of the mill, very eatable, pleasent food. Dont make a special trip.
