" I visited China Inn after hearing great things, but found myself a bit disappointed. While the staff was friendly and polite, my sesame chicken lacked flavor and the rice was undercooked. I think I'd go back just to give it another shot, since I’ve read so many positive experiences about their food, and I want to see if I had an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had read mixed reviews about this restaurant, but I decided to try it out anyway. Unfortunately, my experience matched some of the more critical reviews. The chicken lo mein was bland, and there weren't very many vegetables. The egg rolls were crispy, and I liked that part, but the overall experience left me wanting more. I don't think I will be returning any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from China Inn for the first time last week. The sweet and sour chicken had a decent flavor, but it felt like something was missing. The rice was soft, but the portion was generous. The service was quick, and I appreciated that, though the woman on the phone sounded a bit distracted. A solid option if you're craving Chinese food nearby, but definitely room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was super keen on trying China Inn after hearing positive feedback. Sadly, my experience was underwhelming. The fried rice was bland and tasted like it came from a box. The dumplings were alright, but again nothing remarkable. Despite the eagerness, I think it’s back to my regular places for Chinese. I may pop in just for the wontons next time if I'm feeling adventurous. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a frequent visitor to China Inn and most of the times I leave satisfied. The general tso's chicken is consistently good, with that perfect mix of spice and sweetness. I usually order to-go, so I can't speak much about the ambiance, but every time I've picked up my food, it's been ready in under 20 minutes. My one complaint is consistency; I've had a few dishes that were lackluster, while most hit the mark. Overall, a decent place if you're in the area and in need of a quick Chinese fix. " (*Curated Review*)

" After months of not having Chinese food, I finally decided to visit China Inn based on some recommendations. It did not live up to my expectations, unfortunately. I tried their honey chicken, and while it was decent, I've had better elsewhere. Service was fine, but I've seen more inviting places. Bit of a letdown all around. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to China Inn a few times and have always enjoyed the meals I ordered. The sweet and sour chicken is a personal favorite, and their fried rice tastes better than most places in the area. I appreciate that they have quick service, as it is quite small and mostly used for takeout. The only downside is the seating, which is basically non-existent for dining in. Regardless, it's one of my go-to spots for takeout. " (*Curated Review*)
