I love this little family owned business. I grew up in the area, so I may be biased. I usually get crab rangoons and an egg roll with my order. I've tried many dishes from this restaurant, and some of my favorites to order are chicken fried rice, shrimp & chicken hibachi, shrimp lo mein, chicken on a stick, and orange chicken. The food never disappoints, and the prices are fair for the portion.

I have to change my review after tonight..... I was warned that since the owners have changed that the food wasn't fit to eat.... Well tonight we said we would try it . The chicken was slimey no taste and I can't even describe the texture. We had chicken lomein, honey chicken, and house soup. Each dish, the chicken was the same. It's sad this little China Cafe has gone down. Landrum is growing but it's hard to find good food on Saturday and Sunday. China Cafe are always on point. They never disappoint. I always have food left over , and it's so good the next day . The price has gone up, but I'm not going to fuss it's always delicious and never wasted. I would love for them to start a delivery.

Super good General Tso's and Hunan chicken. My wife likes the hibachi steak and scallops. The Singapore Mei Fun is also very good, as are the chicken wings.

I order takeout at least once a week. The food is the best that it has ever been at this little restaurant in Landrum . The service has been exceptional and my food is always ready when I arrive. Management is doing a wonderful job with much improved food from the last owners. Thank you very much.

This is the best Chinese around!!! Me and my family love this place. It is family owned and operated. It can get extremely busy at times, causing a little bit of a wait, but who cares when you're getting delicious food.

Love this place. The home style bean curd (tofu) is one of the best I’ve ever had. The folks who own it and the folks who work there are lovely. It’s a regular spot for us.
