"I used to visit this place years ago when it was called something else (Lucky something.. and the food was outstanding. So good that my dad and I looked forward to it. Clearly ownership has changed hands since then but while the place looks exactly the same and the service is still pretty good the food has gotten so lazy and cheaply made that the sauce tastes like it's all the cheapest canned versions of whatever they thought would pass for that dish. And I mean bad like somebody went to WinCo and got a flat of powdered or canned sauce and then didn't bother to even try to dress it up, much less taste for seasoning before serving.And I gave the food two stars instead of one because when I got mine, it was nice and hot, so at least someone put some effort into selling the bad food hot I guess.I really hope someone in charge there will take notice and make efforts to bring a standard to their food again. It's in an amazing location for business but no wonder it was a complete and silent ghost town when I visited recently. It felt like being in detention with abject silence to where the only other party in the place was a couple who clearly felt as awkward as I did and stopped speaking to each other except for muttering like a couple of kids on a sleepover trying not to get caught staying up too late chatting. Except not nearly as fun and definitely could hear each other chewing instead.This place has all they need to thrive and they're choosing to cut corners on the main product to let it fall to such a level?We're not in the shutdown anymore, guys. There are ways to be cost effective and not serve garbage to keep it cheap.Whittle down the menu a bit perhaps to the big favorites, cross utilize ingredients, and stop using horrible canned sauces to start please.I really would love to see this place resurrect the food it once had and come back to life as a special spot."

"The restaurant serves well-designed American Chinese food that tastes great and has wonderful service. They offer a combination special that includes soup, an appetizer, a main course, and dessert for just $12. I give the vibe a 4 out of 5. This charming little independent Chinese restaurant is located in a strip mall parking lot. The inside is cozy with about 8 to 10 tables. The decoration reminds me of Chinese restaurants from the 80s and 90s, with red wall art and Chinese zodiac posters, which brought back good memories. For service, I give a perfect 5 out of 5. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They took our orders quickly, and our meals arrived at just the right time. Our hot tea kettle was always full, and when it was time to pay, we just settled the bill at the counter. The food also gets a 5 out of 5. If you're looking for great American-style Chinese food, you can't go wrong here. Little China offers a variety of well-prepared dishes. Their dinner combination meals are a great deal, with a choice of 20 main courses that come with a cup of soup (wonton or egg drop), an egg roll or ribs as an appetizer, hot tea, and dessert (ice cream or rice pudding) for around $12, though prices may vary based on the main course. The main course is a full-size portion, not a smaller lunch size. During our last visit, we ordered the Char Siu Pan and the beef with veggies, along with some soups, 1 egg roll, and 1 spare rib. We also tried the crunchy seafood plate and steamed dumplings. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted great, but the amazing soup and Char Siu Pan were the highlights of the meal. Everything I saw coming from the kitchen looked delicious. I wouldn’t hesitate to order anything from Little China!"
