Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

So easy to order online! Loved it! Everything I had was really good, but their crab Rangoon was exceptional! I love it!!! Their classic egg drop soup was delicious and the hit and sour soup was addicting. Some things were standard like the shrimp fried rice, egg roll, and dumplings, but nothing was at all bad!

My girlfriend LOVES this place so I wanted to love it too but I just don't. Serviceable Chinese food. Bland compared to the places I like. It feels like one of those places that is a victim of catering to limited palates. It's a shame when an ethnic restaurant mutes flavor to make it palatable to suburban America. I think that's what happened here.

They have the best lo mein I've ever had in Cincinnati. Not too greasy, full of flavor, and the service is so fast! Oh, and they're also very nice people. I always buy party trays from here and they never disappoint.

China Island is a true hidden gem. This is my favorite Chinese place in the entire Cincinnati area. I was worried when it went under new management a few years ago, but there was no noticeable change in the quality, quantity, and value of the food. They now have delivery. My family and I have been going to China Island for years, and we don't stray from that loyalty often. In my opinion, no other Chinese place compares.

I have been going here for years. The new owner really bumped this place up. Really like the food, I do tend to over order for the leftovers. I eat it cold the next day and is still good stuff. Service is friendly and fast all the times I have been there, especially since new management. I recommend it to all.

After reading some glowing reviews, I must give it 2 stars. The tastes were bland and the General Tso had awful breading and LOTS of it. The service was good but it just isn't all that good

It's a little tricky finding this place, if you were to think that this was easily visible from Montgomery Road, as I did. Tucked in behind the Fabulous Frames and Art store in the Hosbrook Center, in the very back of the strip mall, is China Island. I will say from the outset, and being a regular at the Chinese take-outs in the area, that this stands on par with the other local Chinese fare. In other words, about average. About average (to a little high, relatively) in price, in quality, in appearance, in service, and in flavor. But that's not said in any derogatory way. Some highs, some lows, some average. My order was to go, and it had been called in ahead of time, at lunch hour, during a weekday. I was told "10 to 15 minutes", and true to their word, at the 15 minute mark, my order was ready. The gentleman working the counter was polite and efficient, and worked not only the to-go orders and the counter, but also the small(ish) dining room. I didn't really pay that much attention to the dining area, but I would say it holds maybe 24 or 25. The entry and waiting area is a bit small, but there are a couple of chairs, or you can sit at a table three feet away in the dining room. Upon arrival at home (maybe six to eight minutes), I unpacked my well stocked (three days' worth of meals) bag. I had ordered the Combo Lo Mein, a large Hot and Sour Soup - they make it meatless, (H&S Soup is my benchmark), an order of Chicken in Garlic Sauce, and an order of Fried Won Tons. There were sufficient condiments (4 soy, 2 duck, 2 small Sweet & Sour cups, and a hot mustard), as well as napkins, forks and a spoon. And to my delight, there was an order of Crab Rangoon slid in there, too. I don't know, perhaps they have a "Free order of Crab Rangoon" if you order above a certain amount. The Won Tons were cooked well, but the filling was really pretty flavorless. Typical frozen style dropped in the fryer type, or so it seemed to me. The Crab Rangoon was pretty good. Nice cream cheese flavor. Again, the typical fast food Chinese offering. I was disappointed that the Hot and Sour Soup did not fill the container, but was instead only maybe 75-80% full. I'm used to it touching the lid at the other local places I frequent. The soup itself was OK. Not really spicy, rather mild. I would order it again, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. It's meatless, tofu only. Not how I ordered it, just how it comes. A few red pepper flakes in there, plenty of tofu, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms. The Lo Mein was also just OK. It was a little dry for my taste though, and could have used a little more sauce.. There were plenty of "little goodies" in there, however. Chicken, shrimp, pork, beef, onions. All in all acceptable, especially with the sauce from my garlic chicken on top. The chicken in Garlic Sauce, mmmm. I ordered it with extra garlic, and they complied. Quite possibly the best dish I ordered. Chicken, mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, and broccoli, all bathed in a delicious, garlicky brown sauce. Mine was accompanied by steamed rice, which was, well, steamed. I would expect it to be OK, all things considered. So - Overall - OK. Nothing outstandingly great, or outstandingly poor. Not far from the Kenwood Mall, they are conveniently located to the freeway. They cater for larger groups, and best of all? They deliver. $10.00 minimum and a three mile radius. I'll have to try that one of these days when I can't make it out. They are the only one in the area that delivers, and at 2.5 miles from my house, I think I'm in luck.

By far the best Chinese food in the Kenwood/Montgomery area. Coming from the East Coast, I have been very underwhelmed with the chinese food options in Cincinnati. This is a solid place: good pricing, nice people and it's ready quickly.

Best egg foo young! As a real Chinese I don't really care for this type of Americanized Chinese restaurants. My friend brought me to China island one night and I ordered a shrimp egg foo young expecting the same ghetto dish I get from every other similar Chinese place. But I was surprised by the quality and flavor. We dined in. So my food was served hot and fresh out of the wok. The eggs were crispy outside and tender and juicy inside. Gravy was not too thick or too salty. And there was a lot of shrimp! It was definitely the best egg foo young I've had in Cincinnati. My friend had Mongolian beef and it was good too. The service is also worth a five star. The owner was very friendly and attentive. Food was served fast. Glass always got refilled.

We ordered a general's chicken dinner and specifically asked for white meat. The owner, who served us, said he forgot and brought dark meat. He refused to remove it from the check though it was not eaten at all. He eventually agreed to charging half of the meal. Terrible customer service.

The food is decent and the prices are more than reasonable. They seem to do more carry out business than eat in but they have seating from maybe 20 - 25 people. I've eaten here twice and will probable do it again.
