" There’s no better Chinese food around than what I’ve experienced at China Cafe! Their egg rolls are absolutely to die for, and I could eat them any day. The fried rice is also a staple dish in my house. It’s always delivered hot, and the portions are fantastic for the price. The only downside to this place is the interior needs some revitalization—it feels a bit outdated; however, the taste of the food more than makes up for it. I often recommend this restaurant to friends as I believe it’s worth the stop! Posting Time: 2024-09-29 12:00:00. " (*Curated Review*)

" China Cafe is one of those classic takeout spots that never fails to satisfy my craving for Chinese food. Their portions are quite generous, which is a plus, especially when you’re hungry. I tend to order the General Tso's chicken frequently, and I’ve never been disappointed by the flavor. While the service could be a bit slow at times, the food makes it worthwhile. In terms of atmosphere, it’s pretty basic since they focus heavily on takeout. Great value for the price! Posting Time: 2024-08-26 20:00:00. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found myself hesitant to try China Cafe after coming across mixed reviews, but I am pleased to report that I ended up enjoying my visit. My go-to was the orange chicken, which was well-cooked and full of flavor, although I wish the portions had more chicken. The service was prompt but it did feel a bit rushed, as if they want to push customers out quickly. However, the food made it worth it, and I would consider returning for takeout.

" Not bad for a quick bite. I ordered some sweet and sour shrimp for lunch, and the flavors were surprisingly good. It’s definitely a place to consider if you are in area and don't want to spend a fortune on food. The takeout only policy might seem limiting, but it works for a lot of folks on the go, so I see how they make it work. Would consider returning again, perhaps sometime soon.

" Outstanding! The chicken fried rice here is unbeatable, and my family absolutely loves to order takeout from China Cafe. Despite the outdated decor, the food speaks volumes about the quality and flavors they offer. The service has generally been prompt, and we always receive the right orders. We often opt for their lunch specials, which are a great deal! One recommendation for new customers is to try the crab rangoons—they are to die for! The homemade sauce that comes with it is hands down the best part of the meal. The owner has always seemed dedicated and involved, which shows through the quality of the food. Highly recommend!

" Overall, I find China Cafe to be a solid choice for quick Chinese food. I've always enjoyed the fried rice, and the sweet and sour sauce they use has a unique taste. It's not the most authentic Chinese food I've ever had, but it hits the spot for a fast meal. I often recommend their lunch specials to friends, and it never disappoints. My only complaint is the outdated decor; they could really use a refresh in that department! Posting Time: 2024-07-28 13:35:00. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having ordered here multiple times, I can confidently say the sweet and sour chicken is my favorite. The portion sizes are excellent, offering good value for the price you pay. The only problem I’ve encountered is the long wait times during busy hours, but the food has been consistently good. All in all, I consider this to be one of my top choices for takeout in South Haven! Posting Time: 2024-05-09 17:20:00. " (*Curated Review*)
