" Not gonna lie, I was skeptical walking in due to its exterior, but the food blew my mind! The grilled skewers flavorful and delightful, making for an incredible dining experience. However, it was quite a wait, and the chaos in dining just made it less enjoyable. The staff seemed overwhelmed. If they could sort out the service, this place would truly shine. Definitely worth giving it a chance for food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for an authentic experience that transports you to street food markets in China, you have to check out China Cafe. The skewers are fantastic and rich in flavor, and I was particularly impressed with the handmade dumplings. The service was decent, and the pricing was very fair. I loved the casual vibe and that you grab drinks from the fridge yourself; it felt very homey. I will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Imagine stepping into a cozy, no-frills spot where each dish tells a story: that’s China Cafe for you. Their skewers burst with flavor, and it feels like they really understand how to create authentic Northeastern BBQ. The flavors are just as you would experience in the streets of China. Sure, the seating isn’t fancy, but the food more than compensates for that. The staff were attentive, making the experience enjoyable. I'm definitely coming back to explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" China Cafe meets the mark for Northeastern BBQ but misses the mark in a few service aspects. I was impressed by the flavors that truly reflect authentic cuisine. The grilled meats and accompaniments were delicious, but our wait time for service was longer than expected. However, I found the charm of a family-run restaurant enjoyable. With plans to improve their service, I'm hopeful for my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love discovering hidden gems, and China Cafe is definitely one of them! Each time I visit, I am reminded why I keep coming back. The yakitori skewers are brilliant, and the garlic flavor in the grilled oysters is to die for. Plus, the prices here are excellent for the quality you receive. The downside? You won't find your standard combination plates here, but if you're open to exploring authentic dishes, this restaurant is highly recommended. " (*Curated Review*)

" China Cafe offers a unique collecting of Northeastern BBQ that you won’t easily find elsewhere. The lamb skewers are among the best I’ve tasted, giving me a taste of home! While the restaurant itself is quite modest, the emphasis is on authenticity and traditional flavors. The service staff is friendly and welcoming, but you may experience longer wait times during peak hours. Overall, if you love authentically inspired Chinese BBQ, you can’t go wrong here. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to China Cafe left me unsure. Some dishes, like the grilled eggplant, were fantastic, while others, like the hot dip, were underwhelming. I really wanted to like it more than I did, but the inconsistency in food quality was troubling. Additionally, the service felt disjointed; we often had to remind our server about our orders. It's a shame because there are some truly great items on the menu. I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
