China Sea

Summary: don’t expect that you can change any order even with offering to pay & even if it already an option and then paying for it: such as adding more vegetables. If they say they will do it for a fee, don’t expect that they actually will.
Quality of food is ok — not great, but by no means terrible. At least they offer delivery for small fee. Delivery time is normal –45 minutes.
Ive ordered 2x and same problem both times, 2^nd time i was assured on phone that the order would be correct, but it wasn’t.

I ordered the sushi (salmon nigiri and rolls). I brought it home. I opened the container and immediately threw it away.
It was obviously off, but what can you expect for 10 bucks?

Delivery was quick, the crab Rangoon was good, egg roll was decent (yea I’ve had ba egg rolls), the entrees were another story.
Lo Mein, it’s written as «Lo mein Dinner» but don’t let that fool you, it’s just noodles in a plastic box. They were both flavorless and the pork looked weird. Maybe old like made in the morning and served all day, we ordered at 9pm so yeah, they were gross, tasted rank, mushy texture.
Every Chinese place seems to be the same, just order fried food, anything else is no good.

Ugh. I went here while on jury duty on day for lunch. My food was pretty average, but my one star is because the girl working there was SO rude. I wish I could find my other review for this place because I don’t recall the entire sordid tale, but I do not know what exactly I did that angered that girl but she was nasty to me. I will never go back. If a place’s food isn’t so great, I can manage, but if you’re rude on top of it, that’s big NO in my book.

Ate here only because we got half off through the Cleveland Daily Deals. Got the veggie maki option which was made in front of us, but small. Also got the general tso’s made with tofu, which was acceptable. Still longing for a place that makes vegetarian TVP dishes.
If you have to eat it, I’d reccommend take out though, as the place is so crowded with random stuff you wouldn’t want to find a restaurant, you feel like you’re sitting in a pack rats living room.

Meh – not even delivery can save you, China Sea.
But to be honest, since it’s one of the only places that’s close enough to deliver Chinese food and sushi (that should be your warning right there) we’ll most likely continue to spend our money here on super-​lazy days. Why not?
We ordered some rolls the other day and a large wonton soup for delivery. The soup was average, but good. The sushi was also just average, but way on the small side. I’ve seen some skimpy rolls in my time, but China Sea tops the charts. The fish seemed fresh, but I always stick with relatively «safe bets» when ordering from a semi-​sketchy place. The spicy tuna was not very spicy, but not coated in too much mayo, either — which I consider a plus. The California roll was just, well, OK and way small.
Like I said, not nearly the best, but if you’re looking for Chinese or sushi delivery, this place will do the trick.

Here’s the thing. I used to go here probably once a week while I was working on graduate school applications and try to eat some sushi and mooch off of Starbuck’s weak wifi signal (a few doors down). I mentally gave it two stars, yet I still went, so… that’s that!
I’ve only had their sushi, and to be fair, maybe I shouldn’t expect Japanese sushi from a place called «China Sea.» I kept getting their combination — which had three different rolls in it, for about $ 12. Two of those rolls (tuna and yellowtail, I think) would be fine. Nothing to rave about, but edible and a small step up from grocery store sushi. The third, some mahi thing, not only CONSISTENTLY smelled like fish (a BAD sign for sushi for those of you who don’t know — it should be odorless), and tasted so bad that I would have to poke the fish out with my chopsticks and just eat the rice and seaweed. I know you’re asking yourself why I kept getting it — the combo was just so cheap! And I kept thinking it’d get better!
Also, even when I made it clear I was staying in the restaurant (by setting up and plugging in my laptop), my meals still came in take-​out containers, in a plastic bag, with soy sauce packets. I would then dutifully have to unpack this all at my table in order to eat it.
The restaurant is a bit dark and grungy — I would take a friend there, but never a date.
Maybe this isn’t fair. I never asked them to deliver for me (and cmon, people bringing me food to my house? Definitely a plus!), and I never ordered anything but sushi — but in fairness, this was before Tomo opened and after Sushi Rock closed for remodeling, so aside from Constatino’s premade sushi, this was the only sushi nearby!
Still. Sorry China Sea, but it’s a two star for me.

I’ve had the Hunan Chicken and the Sesame Chicken, which were okay, especially the former. But today I had the Sweet & Sour Pork, and about all I can say about it is it was cheap. It was oddly tasteless, breaded to oblivion and the tiny bits of pork were tough and cold. Best part of the meal was the steamed rice, which tells you something. Stay away from the #1!

So, so good. I have no idea what the other people are talking about. I’m Chinese, from New York (Queens), and this is the best Chinese I’ve had in Cleveland. I haven’t had any food delivered, only takeout, so I can’t speak to the delivery service but OMG, the food is delicious. Excellent, excellent, takeout.
Their pepper steak is freaking phenomenal. I was sooo sad when I finished it (btw, the portions are great – I’m just a glutton). The orange chicken was crispy and juicy and awesome. I’d say their sushi is mediocre but it’s China Sea, and they do Chinese food right. And at lunch special prices, there’s really no reason not to go at least once a week.
I’ll go back again sometime this week and try more dishes but I’m pretty confident they’ll still get 5 stars.

Oh geez. Not good. I ordered a rainbow roll and the szechuan green beans. The fish on the rainbow roll was cut well, and had a nice mild flavor, but was kind of a weird temperature for me. I did walk a block back to my office though, so maybe it heated up or something.
However the california roll it was wrapped around was basically a big ball of rice with a skinny little slice of what should be crab and cucumber, but all you get is the taste of starchy, kind of hard, rice. (note the pic) And the greenbeans were swimming in oil, although had good flavor, not spicy like they should be. The roll was $ 9 and the green beans $ 4. I wont go back for the sushi for sure… I might try the regular chinese food, ask for light oil. It’s so close to my office, I’m a sucker.

double happiness?
no — double dissapointment.
no happy ending
I thought the time before last night was a fluke. Nope.
Sucky food two times in a row. Slimey egg foo yung, nasty hot&sour soup, and missing items in the delivery. It will be a while, if ever again.
Booooooooo.
Carry on.

As one of the few Chinese delivery restaurants, I have to give China Sea credit. They are consistently good. I wouldn’t say that they are usually great — but they are always good. You can count on calling in and your order arriving within 15 – 20 minutes hot and above average.
We’ve been brave enough to try their sushi on a few occasions, the Ohio Dream roll is actually quite good! I’ve never been inside — so I can’t say that I would go there to eat-​in, but for delivery — it’s okay in my book.

I was in Cleveland on a saturday for an orchestra tour. My friend and I wanted to explore and since our hotel was close by, we ventured this way. At first we were going to Sushi Rock, but we walked in and the place was Completely Empty. No customers, no wait staff, and rather creepy… also a tad expensive for college students. So we wandered back the way we came and went to China Sea.
The place was cute, the place settings at the counter were especially awesome. We browsed the sushi menu, since that was what we had a hankering for. We ended up getting the Alaska roll, the Mexico roll, and the California Roll. All were delicious and well priced. The Mexico roll was my favorite. We also got free soup, friend got soup with dumplings in it (forgot the name) and loved it and I tried the hot and sour soup, which was also delicious.
All in all it was a great excursion and time away from the hotel. I’d recommend it to anyone, at least for the sushi.

I’m probably not the best person to review a Chinese establishment considering that I get the same thing every time, and it’s probably one of the most «american» things on the menu, however I can atleast comment on that.
A friend and I were looking for some lunch one Saturday afternoon in the Warehouse District and couldn’t find much of anything that was quick and cheap as we had things to do. so we settled on this. I had Sweet and Sour Chicken and she had a California Roll.
The S+S Chicken was ok. I’ve had better (Jumbo China on E55th) but the main issue for me was the large portion I had to purchase. They don’t have a small portion of S+S chicken, so i had to get a dinner sized one with Egg Roll and all. BLAH. Too much food for lunch. The California Roll looked ok, I don’t eat sushi so I can’t comment on it really.
The Price was ok, nothing great, just average for places of this type.

This is a very run-​of-​the-​mill American Chinese restaurant. It is not at all authentic. The food is average in every way. I haven’t had anything truly bad here, nor have I had anything that was really all that good either.
The best aspect of this restaurant is the atmosphere; relative to the low price, you can sit down in peace and quiet in a relatively spacious, well-​decorated environment. The place looks small from the outside but has additional downstairs seating. The prices are lower than what you would expect from a decent sit-​down place like this.

Wasn’t a big fan of this place! The food was mediocre and the service was not good at all! There are plenty of other Chinese places that will offer you a better experience.
