China Olive Restaurant, Santa Ana, California, Chinese Restaurant Details

Food:

It's bullshit that they charge by height for kids my daughter is tall for her age and they charge her as a adult she only 11 years old and it's their policy yea last time I'm comming wit the kids

Food:

Very good selection, kind staff and very clean restrooms. Most importantly...inexpensive. if our drinks would of been kept full without asking for a refill, I would of gave it 5 stars.

Food:

The food is actually really good! Worth all my four stars.
The place itself however, is slightly unclean by the looks. And the floors are not that swept. Almost fell on some slippery stuff by the food buffet. And The guy at the counter did not bother to talk to me and my wife when we entered the restaurant.
And did I mention that they have the best sweet ice tea I've tested since moving from Texas!

Food:

Came here for the "Sushi". Zero fish in all the sushi rolls. And...Making a fake crab out to be a shrimp roll is not going to please the palate. I would come back. It's a good value at $7.79 for AYCE lunch. Just disappointed there's no fish in the sushi. :/

Food:

They were nice on the phone when we called, and the reception was good when we arrived. Waitress spoke next to no English. Food on the other hand, the crayfish was old, the fried fish filets were very dried out. It seemed that most of the seafood was old with the exception of the shrimp, which seemed to be fairly fresh. The cashier said that they did not have the option to check each batch and that if the food was bad it was our option to set it aside, but they have a 10 percent surcharge if you throw too much away, so it is a catch 22 in that regard. Anything that contained fresh veggies was good, including the sushi California rolls and the imitation crab rolls. They had a nice selection. (note: I have traveled from FL to CA and from Maine to FL, so have stopped at many Chinese buffets across the country).
