" I went to China River for dinner and chose some appetizers to start. The crystal shrimp dumplings were delightful, but the main courses didn’t meet my expectations. The Kung Pao Chicken was spicily hot—almost too much for my preference! While the food wasn't bad, the overall experience didn't entirely wow me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited China River before heading to a Broadway show. The food was excellent and quite authentic. I had the shrimp fried rice, and it was packed with flavor. The atmosphere was bustling yet comfortable. My only minor critique would be the wait time for our food, which was slightly longer than expected. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and I'll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stopped in for a quick lunch while exploring Times Square. The ambiance is cozy, and the food is delicious. I had the brisket noodle soup, and it was divine! I was pleased with the portion size as well. Had a lovely experience here and would recommend it to visitors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I've dined here has been a pleasure! The hot pot was flavorful, and I was impressed with the authentic flavors similar to what I had in China. Service was very friendly and accommodating too. I already look forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" China River surprised me in the best possible way! I was expecting typical Americanized Chinese food, but what I found was authentic, flavorful dishes. I enjoyed the salt and pepper squid quite a lot! Their staff was very attentive, and the atmosphere was inviting. I will definitely be going back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was an interesting visit. The food was decent; I tried the fresh spring rolls and the spicy crab. There was a lot of flavor in both. However, the service felt a little underwhelming as we waited longer than expected for our drinks. Overall, decent but could use improvement in the service department. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a couple of times now and have consistently enjoyed my meals at China River. The service is friendly, though sometimes a bit slow during busier periods. The food is always well-prepared, especially their fried rice dishes! I absolutely love the vibe there, and it’s perfect for a casual dinner out. " (*Curated Review*)
