About China Lake Chinese Restaurant

One customer who tried the restaurant for the first time and then ordered again within a week expressed great satisfaction. They found the "spicy dumplings" to be "soooo good! Spicy but very flavorful." They also noted that "The veggies in my happy family were so fresh" and were impressed that "Even the chicken nuggets I ordered for my son were homemade," leading them to declare China Lake as their "new favorite spot!"
In contrast, another customer had a significantly negative experience. They described "The interior of the restaurant" as feeling "a bit run-down and could definitely use some refreshing and a deep clean." Their order of "Mongolian beef" was "overwhelmingly salty and quite ordinary overall," lacking anything "particularly remarkable." They noted it was "mostly rice, with a very skimpy amount of beef," expressing a preference for a better balance despite the generous rice portion. This customer also stated they "definitely would be a bit apprehensive about what's waiting in the kitchen!" and felt their "dining experience really missed the mark," with the reality not living up to expectations. Ultimately, this reviewer concluded, "In my case I will not be returning to this restaurant."
Based on these reviews, China Lake Chinese Restaurant in Rowlett, TX, has received both high praise for specific dishes like the spicy dumplings, happy family (with fresh veggies), and homemade chicken nuggets, as well as strong criticism regarding the restaurant's interior appearance and the quality of the Mongolian beef (overly salty with a poor beef-to-rice ratio). One customer found it to be a new favorite, while another had a very disappointing experience and will not return, also expressing concerns about the kitchen's cleanliness. Local users should consider these contrasting opinions when deciding to order from or visit China Lake Chinese Restaurant.
The environment is described by one reviewer as "a bit run-down" and in need of refreshing and a deep clean. Services include meal delivery and likely dine-in (given the mention of the interior). Key features, based on positive feedback, include the spicy dumplings, happy family with fresh vegetables, and homemade chicken nuggets. A significant drawback, according to another review, is the overwhelmingly salty and ordinary Mongolian beef with a skimpy beef portion, as well as concerns about the restaurant's cleanliness.

Tried this place for the first time last week and I loved it! Got it again today and it’s even better than before. Their spicy dumplings are soooo good! Spicy but very flavorful. The veggies in my happy family were so fresh. Even the chicken nuggets I ordered for my son were homemade. Definitely my new favorite spot!
China Lake - Rowlett, TX The interior of the restaurant feels a bit run-down and could definitely use some refreshing and a deep clean. I ordered the Mongolian beef, which, unfortunately, was overwhelmingly salty and quite ordinary overall. There wasn’t anything particularly remarkable about the dish—it was mostly rice, with a very skimpy amount of beef. They were generous with the rice, but I’d have preferred a better balance with the main ingredient. I definitely would be a bit apprehensive about what's waiting in the kitchen! A mess, an experiment gone wrong, or a stack of dirty dishes? Or maybe it's something more mysterious, like an unknown "creation" that I would rather not confront. In a nutshell ... my dining experience really missed the mark. It’s frustrating when a place with high expectations doesn’t live up to the hype. Whether it’s the food quality, service, or ambiance, sometimes the reality , or my experience, just doesn’t match the reviews. In my case I will not be returning to this restaurant.
Honestly the food was barely edible. We ordered delivery so can’t speak to service or atmosphere. The food had that weird cardboard stale taste to it. My husband loved his orange chicken and the chicken and broccoli was decent. But the lo mein, spare ribs and fried rice tasted horrible.
Very good food. The portion size is very generous and the taste is genuine Chinese (of course as we know it here in America). It seems to be a family run restaurant and everyone that helps us was sweet and nice. For sure a place to go back.
We have lived oin Texas 7 years and this the 2nd Chinese restaurant we have visited. It was nice. I was a little disappointed that we were the ONLY dine in patrons today. It seems everybody else took it out or drove through. But...it was a pleasant experience. I even learned to say thank you in Chinese>siete> sounded Spanish to me. My wife got the Seafood Delight with shrimp and crab and veggies . I got the Teriyaki 🐔. Huge plate. I am used to the rice and veggies being all fried together on the grill. This rice came in a bowl, which I dumped on top and mixed with the veggies and poured sauce on top. Very delicious. And I took 2/3 of it home. Nice, friendly employees. Um...forgive me for being so verbose...but I tend to be that way, me being an extroverted introvert and all!!
