China Lites

Very good. Tried for the first time and will definitely return. The pork fried rice was excellent. Lots of pork. Lots of flavor. More flavor than most places. Very tasty on its own. The Beef with String Beans was excellent. Tender beef. Very good ratio of beef to beans. Very flavorful. Definitely a repeat. The Garlic Shrimp was very disappointing. Didn't taste garlic. It had good flavors and the shrimp was fresh and not overcooked, but when I order something with garlic in the name, I anticipate tasting garlic. The Hot and Sour Soup was very good. Plenty of tofu, but would have preferred more mushrooms and bamboo shoots. It had about half of what other restaurants give. Lots of great flavor. A little more sweet than I'd prefer though. The chicken dumplings were good, but maybe not the best choice for take-out. Good flavor. Not greasy, but ate them at least thirty minutes after cooking and they should be eaten immediately. I'm definitely returning and trying other dishes.

If you're looking for quick bite and don't have a whole lot of cash, this is the ideal place. Not really ideal for kids but if you're also looking for privacy while having a quick meal, I'd highly recommend it. This place has been around for decades and I've probably been going there for just as long. Go check them out..

Okay I've been here at least 100 times in the last 10 years and this is the most consistently delicious and comforting Chinese food I've found throughout the entire valley. No matter where I live or how many new places I try, China Lites will forever be my day-off recovery meal to get me through the next week. All of their standard staples like their noodle dishes, fried rices, and soups are fresh, well seasoned, heavy portions, that always taste like they were cooked by someone who actually enjoys cooking. I've been a chef my whole life, and the care put into a meal is far more important than expensive ingredients or gimmicks. That said, everything always tastes fresh and clean. The staff are all very sweet, for years I've ordered delivery through different couriers but now I live close enough to just grab pickup. I've never had a mistake on a single order, and no matter big the order is, I've never waited longer than 15-20 minutes. Everything is always well packed, super hot and fresh. Even the brands of soy and sambal they use for takeout sauces are the best ones. Banging spicy mustard too if you ask for it! The meal that made me get off my ass to write this is the salt and pepper chicken wings. After working in different kitchens my whole life I usually avoid wings because as good as they can be, they're usually far too expensive for the amount of meat you end up with. That's just the food economy right now, costs have risen for years. But good lord, I come here for wings every time now, amidst plenty of other stuff. MASSIVE, well marinated, juicy wings, that end up with this super crispy and light, but stable batter. I feel like it's a rice flour mix, because the end product is somewhere between southern fried chicken and tempura. Regardless, it's a massive order for a great price, and smothered in quickly cooked green and white onion, jalapeno, and Thai chiles. I think they do a sweet and spicy wing too, and I'm adventurous as hell but this is one of those few perfect dishes that I can't imagine being any better. Great bbq pork, chow fun, garlic eggplant, sesame balls, soups, practically any of their noodle or rice dishes. Even their pan-fried noodles are way above the normal standard, but I've taken a break from them as I always make a huge mess when trying to eat them 😂 Seriously, this a place more deserving of your business than any. Any time I have the chance to go out lately and support another kitchen, 9 times out of 10 it's these guys. Restaurant industry has been brutally difficult to survive in over the last 20 years, I hope to see them do well for as long as possible 🤍

Wow yeah do not order anything from here. All of the meat I ordered had clearly been microwaved. Sweet and sour chicken had zero flavor, and the breading was soggy like it had sat there for hours in the sauce. Fried rice had literally zero flavor. Shrimp was gummy like it had been reheated three times. Wonton soup had no flavor. Cream cheese wontons had zero cream cheese in them. Bizarre and awful experience. Oh… even the fortune cookies were bad. Which is wild. — Chinese Delight in the same area is far better. just FYI. order from there.

Called in a order for some fried rice minus eggs (allergy) well food get here the order is wrong and I’m upset because I’m hungry now. At this point I immediately call them to say hey I called in my order but it’s incorrect. He’s arguing with me like I don’t know how to order food especially with a life threatening allergy. Wasted $30 and gave a nice tip to not have any food to eat. I will never order from here again. Sad because the food was good. When it was right. Never again.
