My mom and I love getting together and heading over to this particular restaurant. We love the traditional way of serving here. The lunch special is amazing . They will greet you as you walk in. You seat yourself wherever you like. Then they will know you are dining in. They promptly bring out cute paper place mats with the Chinese New Year animals on it silverware and menus. Take your drink orders right away then they bring your drinks and ask if your ready to order. If you get the lunch special they will quickly bring out the soup in the cute little bowls and cute Chinese spoon. They also bring out the crispy Chinese chips that go in the soup in a separate plate with a yummy house made I believe sweet and sour sauce to dip the chips in if you like. Then your main course comes out. It’s is a pleasant experience. It isn’t fancy but you feel like you are at your aunts house. If your aunt was Chinese and she was a great cook. On this day my mom ordered the Almond Chicken. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken. They were both so flavorful, fresh and fantastic

Large portions to share with a group or take leftovers home for delicious meal the next day. Food came to the table piping hot with lots of flavor. Four adults, we ordered three dishes and still have leftovers. Large wonton soup, beef and broccoli and house low mein. Delicious . Our waitress was fun and friendly.

This place is exactly every Chinese restaurant from my childhood! Right down from the paper zodiac placemats to the very reasonable prices and classic dishes!

I don’t know if there’s new management or new cooks , but I used to come here every Sunday! Literally every Sunday & I just got some food yesterday and it’s so different, prices went up and less portion of food. Taste is completely different doesn’t taste right . I would always order the same exact items for $43 came to order the same thing, order came out to $56!!! And less food!! And did not taste the same at all! Like how are you changing the prices and offer less food!!

The house made wonton soup was delectable. I recommend going for the lunch special as the dinner prices were quite high. The Mongolian beef was tasty, but not the best I’ve ever had. The server was very kind.

China 1968 has great food and great service! I came here with my girlfriend and her sister for an early lunch, so luckily we got there before their lunch rush. We got about 5 different items to share, and each one was delicious. I don’t make it out to this area often, but next time I do, I will definitely be stopping by again!

Force to pay the tips!!! We usually eat there and tips them but that one particular day we didn’t the cashier kept insisting we paid tips if we don’t she won’t let us go!!! You lose me as a customer. If you keep forcing your customers to tips you you gonna lose ‘em.
