China Restaurant of Albert Lea

This place has good food, good service and the interior decor is so fun. We enjoy it every time we come here.

Great service and food! Many varieties of all kinds of food, kind and wonderful people run this place and it's definitely worth going!!

I stopped by during my travels and ordered the chicken fried rice with an egg roll and wonton soup. The service was good and friendly. The fried rice was just OK in my opinion. The chicken was sliced thin, like deli style, and the fried rice only had peas and I could not see any egg, which I was expecting. The egg roll was not as good as it looked and was hoping for better. I really like the inside look of this restaurant and had better expectations!

I could have swore I left a review of this place??? Yelp?? This is the best Chinese food I've eaten outside of New York City. While traveling from Wisconsin back to Iowa we decided to take a detour a few years ago and super glad we did. We stop here frequently now. The sauces they use on their dishes are the best and taste as if they're made in house not from a bottle. The meat always taste fresh and not marinaded to mush like lots of Chinese restaurants.Their pineapple pork fried rice is always ordered my wife and sometimes she orders two so she has leftovers. I pick and choose from the menu and on this visit I had the Cantonese Wanton Fair. WOW!!! I have never seen this on any menu. Maybe it's a specialty of this place, well worth trying. Three meats, beef, chicken, shrimp and tons of vegetables and surrounded by wantons stuffed with a ground beef. One of the best single dishes I've eaten here. The portion sizes are meant for two so you always have leftovers too.If you r traveling through or live close by this is great stop!

The familiar Chinese American menu that we all know and mostly love.I'm munching on General Tso chicken. The familiar aroma, taste and fried chicken texture was exactly what I was looking for.The food was served quickly.I'll be back the next time I'm in town.

Family of 4 traveling from Des Moines to Minneapolis. Picked China Restaurant for lunch. The exterior was unremarkable. The interior decorating offers much to look at:). The food was overall very average. All tasted pretty good but was a bit bland and prepared without flair. First time with parsley as a Chinese food garnish.

After reading the mixed reviews of China Restaurant I was a little hesitant to give them a try.The first thing that struck me about the place was the look and feel of the dining area. The dining area is clean tidy and well cared for as opposed to the exterior of the building which is sad and tired.The menu appeared to be the same old Americanised Chinese food you can find in every US town with a population over 5000. There were absolutely no surprises on this menu.My dining companion and I both ordered from the lunch specials. Soup, egg roll, entree and "fried rice".The food was hot and prepared fresh. That being said, my entree was almost devoid of flavor.The server was very attentive, polite and well dressed.

We SO wanted this to be good... Cute atmosphere and reasonable service, but the food was cold & bland. And pushed the envelope on prices for Asian cuisine.

Bad so bad. Everything had an off taste. Could be old food that should have been dumped. That is what I did but only after I paid $46.00 for my order. I did not want to take the chance of getting sick when I am on the road all day tomorrow. Its sad because I havnt had any Chinese food in months and was looking forward to it. Wish I had picked the pizza joint instead.

The food is the best! And very clean! We are always impressed at the fast service. The owner does all he can to keep the customer safe, he even encourages us to go to his online site to see the menu vs looking at the paper menu. They are tops in my book!
