First off the staff was professional and polite. Nice decore and restaurant was clean .

Great service. Generous portions. Accommodating 12 of us was great.
I ordered the szechuan garlic prawns with fried rice and hot spicy soup.

I recently researched a good Chinese restaurant for takeout, and it was a great experience! I called the restaurant, and the person who answered was so patient and helpful, answering every single question I had. It was really nice. I gave them a pickup time, and it was totally worth it.
We tried the Beef Lo Mein ($15.99), Shrimp House Special Fried Rice ($14.99), Salt & Pepper Shrimp ($19.99), and Homestyle Tofu ($14.99). Everything was delicious, flavorful, and perfectly salty. The portions were generous, enough for the two of us, which was amazing.
Just a heads-up: since it’s a restaurant, if you’re sensitive to salt, you might want to ask them to go easy on it. Otherwise, just drink plenty of water. Personally, I loved it! We’ll definitely be returning.

This place is exactly every Chinese restaurant from my childhood! Right down from the paper zodiac placemats to the very reasonable prices and classic dishes!
I stopped in for lunch on on a Saturday with a friend (after stopping by the nail salon next door) and we were greeted upon entering and the staff was quick and friendly.
We got lunch specials which was more than enough to fill us up! It included a soup of our choice (eggdrop/eggflower or hot and sour), rice of our choice (fried rice or white rice), and a decent sized entree. She got the sweet and sour chicken and I got the sesame chicken. We both enjoyed our meals and felt no pressure to hurry up. When the bill came we were pleasantly surprised that we both ate our fill and the total was about $21 for both of us! After an already great experience, that was just the cherry on top! This is decent, classic Chinese-American food for a reasonable price! I would definitely go back here when I’m craving classic Chinese-American cuisine!

Heard about this place on Instagram. Had to stop by and try the salt and pepper wings. Delicious. Got some noodles too and they gave us some rice.
Nice people, good food, great customer service. Restaurant is clean. 5 stars.

China 1968 has great food and great service! I came here with my girlfriend and her sister for an early lunch, so luckily we got there before their lunch rush. We got about 5 different items to share, and each one was delicious. I don’t make it out to this area often, but next time I do, I will definitely be stopping by again!

My mom and I love getting together and heading over to this particular restaurant. We love the traditional way of serving here. The lunch special is amazing . They will greet you as you walk in. You seat yourself wherever you like. Then they will know you are dining in. They promptly bring out cute paper place mats with the Chinese New Year animals on it silverware and menus. Take your drink orders right away then they bring your drinks and ask if your ready to order. If you get the lunch special they will quickly bring out the soup in the cute little bowls and cute Chinese spoon. They also bring out the crispy Chinese chips that go in the soup in a separate plate with a yummy house made I believe sweet and sour sauce to dip the chips in if you like. Then your main course comes out. It’s is a pleasant experience. It isn’t fancy but you feel like you are at your aunts house. If your aunt was Chinese and she was a great cook. On this day my mom ordered the Almond Chicken. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken. They were both so flavorful, fresh and fantastic

We’ve tried a lot of Chinese restaurants around, and this is possibly the best family-style chinese restaurant in all of SD! This is the archetype of good family-run chinese food. If you’re remotely considering chinese food, this has to be a must-try.

Large portions to share with a group or take leftovers home for delicious meal the next day. Food came to the table piping hot with lots of flavor. Four adults, we ordered three dishes and still have leftovers. Large wonton soup, beef and broccoli and house low mein. Delicious . Our waitress was fun and friendly.

I ordered the salt and pepper shrimp and there was no flavor there of a salt and pepper, I ordered the fry lo mein with all the meat. I swear I only got three shrimps. It was fresh and hot but it lacks flavor. And the customer service was horrible.
