Atmosphere... It would help if it were clean. It's not Service: At the door, good. Waitstaff, horrid. Food Bar: Obviously boxed frozen food thrown in a fryer... tastes like their food handling practices poor ... frozen, thawen, refrozen is not good. A lot if most of their stuff comes from cans -- how hard is it to make pudding or... More

I've been going to China Hill for years and they have yet to disappoint me. Very good service and the food tastes great.

But Chinese is not my favorite. China Hill is your run of the mill Chinese place. It's good every once in a while, but I could not eat here regularly. I often have a sick belly for a few hours after. The teriyaki beef is yummy, but it's probably the only thing on their menu that I could tolerate to... More

China Hill has the best teriyaki chicken on a stick that I have tasted! Try the weekend buffet! Some people have a love-hate relationship with China Hill. I have always loved eating there!

we ordered Mongolian Beef (spicy) and the Seafood Wor Bar...it was terrible. The beef tasted like cat food, no spice and the seafood tasted like rubber. The waitress was wonderful, but the manager argued with us, and told us he would make it up to us next time we were in.....WHICH WOULD BE NEVER! He finally took the seafood off... More

Sure, it's not the best place to get authentic super tasteful Chinese, but its cheap, delicious (especially to those that are picky about flavor), and the service is great. They have a buffet on weekends and everyday during the tourist season. It's very family friendly, big, and beautifully decorated. They have an ice cream machine for the kiddos that get... More

It is very very obvious that no care is given in the preparation of the food here. It is tasteless, bland and in the case of most of our food, undercooked.

Awful. Even the drinks were bad... Except the headhunters. Don't take the food home... It will stink up your car!

I am from Australia so maybe our version of Chinese food is different but I found the food terrible. I went with 3 locals - and they also agreed. I don't know. It was was to salty. I order the sezuchuan(spelling?) chicken meal. It came with "chicken toast" and boneless ribs. I asked for hot. It was far from being... More

Excellent food and HUGH servings apps and main course. The bartender that was on duty had a great personality. We could tell we made a good choice as we sat at the bar, we could over hear some of the conversations in the room and everyone knew each other. Within the first 5 mins. we were in the conversation also.... More
