"Always fast and simple! Amazing quality on the food for a very affordable price! I feel like I normally would have to pay at least $25 for the size and quality of food at another restaurant, I never spend more than maybe $13-$15 and get like a meal and a half from it!"
"Nothing tasted great. Wouldn't order again. The cheese wontons were overcooked. The shrimp lo mein was bland. Beef hunan didn't have a lot of flavor. Chewy, not much seasoning, fried rice is bland. Will not order china master again."

"Everything was so good as usual. I love this restaurant. My Chicken Egg Foo Young (3 Pcs) was delicious. I never get Boneless Spare Ribs and they were the best ive had around. The Crab Rangoon (Cheese)(6 Pcs) are the savory kind with crab and not the sweet ones, very good. "
"This may be some of the best soups I've had in a Chinese restaurant in years and the fried rice is top notch! Everything was clearly fresh and still warm when I got it. The amount of food was filling. I got a small for the rice but felt it was a good amount which comes in one of the Chinese take out boxes. I would definitely order again and have done!"

"I have tried just about all the food here. My favorites are the N6. Orange Chicken with FR6. House Fried Rice , A2. Egg Roll , and 01. Hot And Sour Soup The "spicy" isn't TOO spicy- it's perfect for the dish. The orange chicken was the perfect amount of crunchy, sweet & spicy. Egg roll is traditional, not heavy on cabbage or meat or seasonings. Hot and Sour soup had the right portion of ingredients and lots of flavor. I love this place- the only thing I wish they had was some combo plates for individuals. Like entre, rice, egg roll & soup- I would eat here more often if they offered that. I usually just buy for one or two and we don't eat the leftovers. Portions are very generous and that's nice but I do not like to waste food, so the only time I order is when I have 3 or more people to feed. "
"SP2. General Tso's Chicken Generous portions, but had an odd smell and was a bit more tangy than expected. B3. Mongolian Beef Was mostly onions. I ate all the beef and still had a full plate. Also, there was broken rice noodles lining the bottom of the plate. It was unexpected, and almost seemed like they were put there to help fill the dish last minute, as if they were low on proteins and didn't want to cook more. The taste was pleasant, but admittedly very syrupy like another reviewer stated. The A9. Chicken Teriyaki (4) was good, just a bit overcooked. Packaged well to prevent spilling. Overall average experience. Not terrible, but not great. Would eat here again in a pinch, or if there was a Really good deal/ special going and other things were closed. Wouldn't necessarily recommend."

"1. Yaki Udon or Soba (udon noodles was our choice) -- so good and filled with plenty of chicken and perfectly cooked crunchy veggies so it's a great meal that is so yummy! I used to order udon a lot when I lived in Japan and this is the 1st time I found some in the US that tastes as great as Japanese-made udon!"
"The 4. Hibachi Scallop Lunch serving is very small for its price. The miso soup is bland. The 2. Crazy Salmon Roll (8 Pcs.) was good but small cuts. Not worth the money. This restaurant has been our favorite but the quality and taste has gone down. Not ordering again, not worth it. Before you use to get soup and salad for the Hibachi Lunch, now you only have to choose one."

"This was by far the WORST order I've ever had from Chipotle. When I picked up the bag it was super light so I felt like something was wrong. There was nothing in the bowl. You can see by the fill line. There was hardly any rice, about 6 scraps of chicken on ONE side of the bowl that were little chopped up bits, some hard; & vegetables that nobody bothered to cut up or cook down properly. There was an onion piece as big as my head. I really don't know if the vegetable ever touched the stove. Whoever assembled this order needs to have care redirection ASAP."
"My veggies, pinto beans or brown rice is not cooked firmly, this is by far the first time I've have chipotle and my veggies wasn't cooked, but they can not cook brown rice properly..My bowl is very short on food portion. Only about a half spoon of chicken, if that😩🙄"
