This place is a hidden gem in san diego. Family owned and operated with authentic flavors. The specials board has some great options that differ from the menu so don’t forget top take a look. My favorite thing is the bbq pork stir fried udon noodles. The egg foo young is amazing also. Been going for years and I’ll definately be back! Thank you La China.

Been coming here for over 15 years and the food is very hefty and flavorful. Have had the same server the entire time. This is a family runned business that works as a team. So much veggies for almost all their dishes! A must have, and within price range. Service is incredible and I love supporting a family business. Must try! Super fulfilling and hearty

Classic atmosphere and they offer take out & dine in options. They have menus posted before walking in which allowed me to look at what I wanted which I love. They also have paper menus you can take at the table as you enter and a sitting area. A lady took my order quickly and I heard the chefs get to it. Everything was nicely packed and nothing spilled as she double bagged the plate which is genius. See my photo for a full break down on what was on my plate and rating!!

I really enjoyed the shrimp dish but the eggplant not so much.
It could have been Spicer.
Quantity was great but will have to return to try other dishes. Price was very reasonable.

This gorgeous and cozy restaurant has the best Chinese food in San Diego county, easily. Normally we order take out, but if you do dine in the dinning area is nicely decorated and the booths are comfortable. The Kung Pao chicken is my favorite. It is a generous portion of chicken, onions, and peanuts in La China’s amazing sauce. 10/10 restaurant, I cannot recommend them enough.

We have been coming here for years and always leave happy! If you don’t find a dish you are looking for on the menu, they will make it specially for you. My favorite is Mongolian Chicken. They always make it for me, and it is delicious!

I have been holding off on writing a review for this “best-kept secret” here in our neighborhood. Just because we would hate for it to become TOO popular… But I have to give credit where it’s due. The staff kept up with demanding customers all throughout the Covid pandemic with take-out food. Now it’s back open to indoor dining once again. The food is very tasty. We love the pan-fried noodles and whatever the fresh vegetable of the day is. They have lunch specials that are good. The won ton soup is really yummy. Kudos to Joyce who always greets us with a smile.

Not all Chinese food is created equal. La China uses fresh quality ingredients and in over 7 years of eating here I have never had a bad meal. Staff is polite and always answer the phone quickly. Definitely the best Chinese food in la Mesa and El Cajon

Super legit! Decent food at reasonable price AND friendly service. What more could you ask for! I stopped in on a whim in the middle of laundry mat adventures so I was blown away at their prices in San Diego it’s rare to see this. Come, experience and enjoy.

Great chinese food at a very affordable price. I’ve always ordered to go so I can’t speak to the dine in experience but I’ve never heard any ruckus while picking up my food. Great specials and they have a Coca Cola machine with Dr pepper. I would eat here every day but I can’t afford it for financial reasons. Love it. Man it’s great
