East China

Very disappointed in the General Tso Chicken. How do you screwup General Tso? The sauce was tasty, but there was almost no chicken in the dish– all batter. That sucks. I will not be going back and would not recommend.

Fast, friendly, and delicious food. My go-​to for Chinese in Apple Valley. It’s nice going somewhere that the employees make you feel like a valued guest.

I love the food here. I’ve been going here since 6^th grade and this Chinese food is the best Chinese food I’ve ever had in my life. You guys need to try it.

I be never had a bad meal or dish from here. It’s one of the best run family businesses around. And they are always the friendliest staff.

I’ve tried this place several times. Each time, the food has been just this side of mediocre and the service is limited to hello and goodbye. Neither makes you raise your eyebrows, but the extra touch of service starts to matter when you are running into issues with your food.
The first time I did takeout, I ordered shrimp toast– and it came burnt-​to-​a-​crisp black. They shrugged their shoulders and waved me off. I wasn’t thrilled, but no place is perfect. It was takeout, and kitchens make mistakes. Tonight, my family did takeout from East China, and once we dug into our food, we realized that they had shorted us a container of rice. After calling them, they made it abundantly clear that they were not only convinced *we* had made the mistake, but they were dead-​set in letting us know that we could suck it up for all they cared.
After that call, I won’t be ordering from here again.

I’ve lived in the south suburbs for a few years and East China remains the best and most consistent Chinese delivery option available IMO. Patrons would be wise to try the Singapore Chow Mei Fun and General Tso’s entrees. Also, for those of you who like a crispy chicken wing, try them here.
East China also offers very reasonably priced lunch and dinner combination platters.
The owners are always customer centric and a pleasure to do business. I’ve tried others and East China remains my go-​to for both customer experience and its food.

Typical fast food Chinese. Probably one notch above of LeeAnn Chin’s. Very stingy on the chicken in the sweet and sour chicken– mostly dough as someone else mentioned.

Terrible food. The sweet and sour chicken were mostly batter. The fried rice was not fresh with little flavor. Never again!

First of all just do takeout here as it must have been take your kids to work day as there were toys scattered around dining area. There was only 2 tables so takeout must be the main part of the business. I stopped here after finding lai wai closed. They Took a vacay. I ordered chicken lo mein combo for me, chicken chow mein combo for spouse and son had orange chicken combo. These combo plates were $ 7.55 each and include white or fried rice and an egg roll. All family members liked their food. The portion sizes are huge so there is another meal easily. They put food in foil containers so it was real hot taking out of paper Bag. Décor needs maintenance badly. Looks family run and no chain. Support local businesses. Used Unilocal coupon for an extra egg roll for free.

Well… A year or so later I decided to try this place again. I am glad I did. On a last minute lark I walked in and placed an order for two combo dishes of General Tso’s chicken. The pork fried rice was spot on! MUCH better than the last couple times I was there! They are back on my list of places to go for local Chinese food take out! Chicken was not overlooked and season perfectly for this dish. I will go back again and try other options to see if there is consistency across the menu. Enjoy East China!
Cheers!

First time our family had take out from here. Lo Mein was awful, sweet n sour chicken was all bread and dry chicken pieces, cream cheese wontons were like rawhide. I found a hair in my Egg Foo Young! Never again will we order from East China!

Always friendly with prompt service. Can’t help but smile when I walk in the door! Food always taste great. Fairly priced, and always get 2 – 3 meals out of each order.
Thanks!

This place has great food-​!! A little place, there for years-​!! A lot of others have come and go. Consistency wins out every time-​! Comfort food — my go-​to place-!!

Got takeout from here on a Saturday night after some serious Chinese food cravings. I got the Beef w/​Mushroom, and my girlfriend got the Kung Po Chicken. Mine ended up being very «meh», but hers turned out alright. We also got some Wontons which were pretty decent.
I would eat their food again if someone showed up with it, but probably won’t be seeking it out anytime soon. However… they are open later than other Chinese places in the area on a Saturday night, so something to consider if you’re super hungry.
Nice people though, and definitely a young family run business.

I don’t review too many places but thought since this place was close to home and they had an offer for free eggroll I would try it.
I stopped in to redeem the check-​in offer and order food. I was really hoping I found a good Chinese place close to home. Not this place, they had over priced small meals. They also stated the coupon was from four years ago and that they will not honor it.
I would not recommend this place. Go to egg roll king off cedar and 42. Much better food and portion value!

Good food. Generous portions. Not closed like the Unilocal page says.

This place was a nice surprise. We moved in the neighborhood recently and tried out their food on a Sunday afternoon. Everything was gr8! It seems like a hidden secret in Apple Valley!

East China is fast and fresh chinese food. My husband and I eat from here about once every two weeks or so. the vegetables are fresh anf food is consistently good. Our inlaws come from Burnsville to eat it as well. Would recommend to everyone!

Very friendly staff. Super quick service. The fried cheese wontons are the best! The food is very reasonably priced also. I wouldn’t recommend dine in, since the seating area is small and very warm due to the proximity to the kitchen. That’s the only downside. Far superior service to Lai Wah around the corner.

This place replaced Mei Fun, which used to be in this location. The owners are super nice and the food is yummy and cheap, as Chinese food should be. Give it a try!
