China View - Hickory

First time there. Ordered for three people. Total order was done in 15 minutes. The place was clean, friendly staff, prompt service. Prices were good, quantity of food for the price was great. Ordered Moo Goo Gai Pan, Egg Rolls and Chicken Fried Rice. Sorry to say, I wasn't happy about the taste of any of it. The Moo Goo Gai Pan was to salty, sauce was a bit strong, veggies were out of proportion, over abundance of broccoli versus carrots, bamboo shoots and what looked like zucchini, some were over cooked. The egg rolls were over cooked. The wrappers were a dark brown to almost burnt. The roll ingredients had the consistency of green mush, very little flavor. The fried rice had very little taste and a little over cooked. MO... this food wasn't fresh cooked. It was cooked ahead of time and left set. To me, this Asian food is to Americanized, an imitation to the real Asian foods. OR...(sorry) this place has not so good cooks. If you don't know what real Asian foods taste like, you'll do just fine eating here. Parking: Plenty of parking.

This place used to be my go-to when it came down to getting my chinese fix. However, my family and i have noticed that the food hasn't been tasting as good as it used to. Maybe they have a different cook? I still come here once in a blue moon, but it has gotten me exploring their competition for a new go-to chinese restaurant.

Although I still miss the owners from the early 2000's. This place has managed to stay one of my favorites. Great tasting food for sure.

Always a good experience with takeout for me. Great prices too

I have been eating here for years. I miss the original owners. They made the place! The food has always been good. In my opinion this is the best Chinese in the area and surrounding areas.
