Cozy Inn Chinese Restaurant

This is by far and will always be the BEST Chinese restaurant in Janesville. It's been around for ages and always received fantastic service.Highly recommend

Overall, good service in a dark and red atmosphere reminiscent of old Chinese restaurants (which I guess this is). Everything feels old-ish, even the food. Potions aren't necessarily huge - not enough to take home - we ended up eating everything there (2 couples, 4 dishes + soup and eggrolls)Dishes are generally tasty, but not so good that I'm dying to go back. In fact, I'm probably not going back even if I'm in town. It wasn't a bad meal. But it did feel like all the dishes tastes like one another, and had interesting twists. I mean, how is that possible with Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken, Pork Lomein, and Hunan Shrimp essentially taste the same? Orange chicken came with huge pieces of broccoli. Mongolian beef was swimming in sauce and mushrooms instead of green onions. Pork noodles had a lot more veggies than either pork or noodles. And yet, everything was tasty, while different. So yea... ‍

Old school ambiance includes walking upstairs for great food. We love this place. Worth the vertical hike. Great staff too.

My husband and I have gotten takeout from here so many times. And it has never failed to be amazing. My husband has been to China twice and he said that the food at Cozy Inn tastes very authentic. Our favorites include the wonton soup, egg rolls, pork chop suey, and sweet and sour chicken. The ladies there are very nice and attentive.

5 stars for the history and service, 3.5 stars for the food = 4 stars. We stopped for a midweek lunch on our way past Janesville. We were excited to try their egg rolls, as they contain peanut butter (not so easy to find).You should know it's on the second floor of an old building, so prepare for some steep steps. The steps don't seem to stop people from getting their Chinese food fix, as there were multiple tables of diners on the day we went.The one server clearly has her job perfected and handles everything with a smile. Lunch specials come with a soup choice, fried rice and egg roll with most entrees. The egg drop soup was hot and tasty. We took advantage of the dish of chow mein noodles to give the soup some crunch.Our entrees were OK. One of us had chicken cashew and the other shrimp cashew. We were impressed by the amount of proteins in the dish. Both had dark brown sauce with many veggies, but the sauce was a bit goopy for our taste. The fried rice seemed more like soy-soaked rice, so next time, I'd request white rice instead. The egg roll was better than most, but not outstanding.

Delicious! I made my long awaited return to this gem on the second floor. I was a regular in the early 90s and finally got to go back this spring. Still delicious. The spicy mustard still clears my sinuses. LOL giant egg rolls and wonderful food. I won't wait 30 years to return! I swear!!!

It's a classic... as much about the ambiance and being part of history as anything else. Food was decent providing a large menu with all the expected dishes. I really liked that all the dinners came with soup and and an egg roll. Next time I'm there and there will be a next time, I'm going to indulge in one of the kitschy adult beverages :) Historical Chinese Restaurant in downtown Janesville... who would have thought!

Old school Chinese-American ambiance. I had the shrimp subgum chop suey, which came with egg foo young and soup.

Best Chinese food in town. Loved the egg rolls (they have peanuts in case of allergies). Fried rice had plenty of shrimp. Dishes had good flavor. Excellent service. Cozy atmosphere. Old school traditional American style Chinese restaurant (even the drinks are from the 50's) done well.

Good authentic Chinese food in Wisconsin! The second oldest Chinese restaurant in the country!
