    My Mushu pork was very fresh and absolutely delicious,  as were the deep fried shrimp. Very good.
    That said, service was terse, slow and inattentive.
    General decor was upscale but clearly lacking regular cleaning. Not horrible, just disappointing.
    Yes, I'll go back...it is what it is.

    I used to like China Station as a child, but went roughly 20 years before I tried it again last night (2019).

    I wanted to like it - I really did. But the entire experience was negative. I will never go back.

    We were one of three parties in the whole restaurant, yet the service was sub-par. We were ready to order roughly 10-15 minutes before the (lone) waiter tended to us.

    We ordered a dinner special that came with things like chow mein, beef&brocolli, paper chicken, sweet-and-sour chicken, and fried shrimp.

    Everything - even the wonton soup - was horribly oversalted. There are no authentic Chinese flavors at all; it's just an overload of grease and salt. Salt especially. I could practically feel my kidneys and heart clenching for support.

    The fried shrimp was literally just one shrimp, roughly the size of my pinkie. I finished it in two bites. The sweet and sour chicken was plentiful but wayyy too rich, and a bit rubbery.

    I honestly wonder if they take microwave food from Costco or something, heat it up, and put it on plates.

    One of the worst food experiences I've ever had.

    I hate to write such a bad review since the options for Chinese food is extremely limited in the area but the food was way less than impressive. We ordered a few items for take out and I have to say, I generally love Americanized Chinese food and think most of the Chinese take out places taste pretty similar, this place was way below your average Chinese take out places.

    We tried their beef lo mein, and shrimp fried rice and their scallion and ginger beef and everything was really bad. All we tasted was grease and salt and no flavor.

    Honestly would not recommend.

    Food was full of salt. The food arrived within 4 mins of ordering .. i dont think they make it fresh..Had to return one out of the 2 dishes that were ordered. The dish was with so much salt.. Totally inedible. I would not recommend eating here. Had food poisoning after eating the food.. Was throwing up like crazy ...
