Food: Bland taste but fuller plates

China Islamic's Thick Sesame Bread with Green Onions and Lamb Stew Clay Pot stand out as unique and tantalizing offerings.

The mixed feelings towards their service and price further make the dining experience a toss-up.

  • Large Portions

    Large portions consistently appreciated, offering a generous serving size.

Vibe: Grungy ambiance drowns buzz

An undeniable stench, obsolete decor, and a dingy vibe set the tone as you step into China Islamic. The ambiance is far from inviting, contributing to the lack of popularity. Date nights are not recommended due to indifferent service and a loud, off-putting atmosphere.

  • Negative Buzz

    Outdated interior, not trendy, and was empty except for one couple.

Perks: Neglected service, scarce parking

Parking woes begin the experience at China Islamic with their small lot and limited street options. Once inside, guests face unprofessional and neglectful service, further dampening the dining experience. While the restaurant can accommodate large groups, their poor consideration for children is another drawback.

  • Great For Groups

    Easily accommodates large groups with big round tables and family style meals.

  • Bad Service

    Rude, inattentive service disappoints, leading to frustration and discontent.
