I love their salt and pepper wings. They are very crispy and delicious. They might be a tiny bit on the sweet side.

La China is great! (While not the best food I've had they are very good and I'm always going back) My go to dishes are: - beef broccoli - orange chicken - crab Rangoon - chow mein I have only ever done take out.

The food is great. I recently took my visiting brother from Montreal there and he said it was the best Chinese food he had and he's 80 and visited over 120 countries.

Total dive but really really good food. Highly recommend for your basic food Chinese takeout.

My coworker and I decided to give this place a try and I loved it so much I went back with my partner. It seems to be a small, family-owned business. The decor is dated but I feel like that added to its charm. The menu prices are very affordable, the staff is super prompt and kind, and there's plenty of parking. So far I've tried the egg drop and hot and sour soup, the general tsaos chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and the noodles. The egg drop soup was yummy but the hot and sour was my favorite- they don't skimp on the mushrooms or tofu and it came out piping hot. Both chicken entrees I ordered were perfectly crisped on the outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor. Lastly, the noodles are my favorite, they have that distinct wok flavor thats hard to come by at other places. I very much appreciated this place and think it deserves more attention.

Straight up solid Chinese American food. My order of Singapore noodles and spring roles arrived in 5 minutes and was served with a smile. Food was great. Another reviewer knocked them down for the strip mall ambience. Well, many of us have had some great food from "holes in the wall". Or strip malls. Love that they had Singapore noodles. I will be back.

I was craving egg drop soup and sweet and sour chicken so decided to check out La China in San Carlos/El Cajon. It's in the strip mall with a bunch of other shops and looks to be primarily focused on take-out, though I saw a few tables filled inside. The food we ordered took me back to my childhood eating fried sweet and sour chicken, egg drop soup, mongolian beef, and cream cheese wontons. Everything was hot, made with good quality meat and a decent price. The egg drop soup was okay, I enhanced it by adding soy sauce. The fried wonton pieces are always my favorite and they provided a nice side bag of them. The sweet and sour chicken was all white meat served with pineapple, onions and peppers. I asked for sauce on the side so it would still be crisp when I brought it home. The Mongolian beef was very good. Tasty, tender cuts of beef with a generous hand in thinly sliced onions and sauce. The cream cheese wontons were fried and served with the same sauce as the chicken. I was hoping it would be a sweet chili sauce but still good. It's by no means traditional Chinese food, though they do have specialties. It's a clean shop and the lady who took my order and helped me was super friendly and helpful.
