I too have been eatting there since I was a child. My grandpa and I would go everyday. We knew the owners personally. I rememeber their kids when they had diapers on their butts... But since the fire their food has gone down in taste but not in price. I am not keen on the new look. I think they had more charm and personal touch in the way it was.. They tried to hard to be an authentic chinese eattary. If you want chinese food I sugguest the rice bowl in Bakersfield on 18th Street. its cheaper and bigger size portions.

China Cuisine has to be the most magnificent restaurant I have dinned in. This is a restaurant I have been dinning at since a child and it has never disappointed me. In fact it continues to impress me the more I go. China Cuisine has best ambiance, service and delicious varieties of food that I have personally come across.
Since the place burned down a couple of years ago, the restaurant has gone through some amazing transformation. They brought in new tables, chairs, and some paintings to decorate the walls. China Cuisine is kind of a medium sized restaurant that is split up in to a couple of section. First, you have the dinning area which is separated by a wall into two parts. Towards the kitchen area they have a bar; I don’t have much to say about that, since I’m not twenty-one yet. The restaurant also has a salad and buffet bar towards the back of the building.
China Cuisine has a very serene and relaxing atmosphere that makes a person feel at ease. The main reason for this is due to the ambiance of the restaurant; an example of this would be the vivid paintings on the walls which gives you a sense of tranquility. Another would be the huge statue of a golden Buddha; it’s the first thing that caught my eye when I walked through the entrance. The Buddha gives off a religious sense which many could relate to. Part of it also has to do with the insufficient amount of customers, which surprises me because the food is marvelous. The advantage to this though is peace and quiet.
The staff at China Cuisine is very respectful to their customers and they don’t hassle them to leave early like some restaurants. Their very friendly and they aren’t hesitant to make conversation if you’re the talkative type. No matter what I’m there for whether it’s to dine at the restaurant or just there for the buffets on Fridays I can always count on the staff for excellence service.
When I do decide to eat at the restaurant I normally order Chinese food along with a cold glass of ice tea. I enjoy their Chinese food because of the chowmang, fried rice, and their egg rolls. They know how to cook their chowmang just how I like it, with the right consistency of oil. As for the egg rolls, they make it in a way that vegetables are delicious and not disgusting as their made out to be. Oh, and I can’t forget about that warm sweet delicious divine sauce that you pour over your chicken that makes it taste so amazing. After eating its always exciting to open and reveal what the fortune cookie have to say. I always enjoy watching their collection of enormous fish while eating at China Cuisine.
When I go for the buffet, which is only on Fridays and Saturdays, I pack so much food that the container is hard to close. This way you can save some for that midnight snack; which always taste good cold. The buffet cost around seven dollars. China Cuisine has a variety of foods to offer not just Chinese food. Other foods they have to offer would include simple hamburgers, well done stakes, clam chowder, salads and much more. The prize for these delicious foods are very moderate and well worth every penny.
I can honestly say that my experience at China Cuisine has been nothing put positive memories and will continuing to be positive. I recommend this restaurant to everyone in Bakersfield which is only fifteen minutes away from Shafter. You won’t regret wasting your gas after experiencing the amazing food and the great service offered. In case you do decide to go China Cuisine is located on 563 James Street in Shafter; it’s right in front of West America Bank.
