China Inn Restaurant

Came in on a snowy night and we were the only people in the restaurant. Lots of carry out going on though. Staff was very friendly and obviously we were attended to promptly. Owing to the circumstances I can't speak to how things might go on a busy night with good weather.

We started with hot and sour soup, which is a tough thing to get just right. This soup was really delicious. From the server, the solid contents of the soup are prepared to order, only the broth was prepped in advance. This gave the soup a crunchy fresh taste.

Entrees were beef with broccoli medium spicy, and General Tso's shrimp. Broccoli was chewy florets and crunchy stalks, a tough trick to pull off. Beef was fine, could have been marinated a bit longer, but decently tasty. Shrimp was fried in a fritter batter, which I thought made it too doughy. A coconut or panko batter would have improved it. The shrimp were quite large, and a goodly number of shrimp were on the plate. The Tso sauce was lightly sweet, lightly sticky, which is a very good balance.

All in all this was a pleasant surprise. An enjoyable meal in a friendly atmosphere. Location near the college and Best Western hotel is convenient in the west side of Westminster. I recommend readers give it a try.

Everyone was extremely friendly from taking the order to delivering the food. Food was hot and tasty and came fast. I will be ordering from here again.

Amazing food, good prices and very nice staff!

Take out - was hot to touch, flavorful and appealing appearance. My request to have onions added was honored. Large portions. I had my entre for dinner and 2 lunches.
