China Rose

Ask for the Chinese menu obviously if you want authentic. I had the cold duck and it was fantastic. Also the pea sprouts are also fantastic. The beef and tripe was a little sweet for my taste.

This may be a hidden jewel. Pretty nice little restaurant hiding in an isolated area. Friendly staff. We were offered two sets of menus - a regular Americanized menu and another one with only authentic Chinese dishes printed in both Mandarin and English. We took the authentic menu and I was very impressed with their variety. Highly recommend: 1) West Lake beef soup (西湖牛肉羹, which was lightly seasoned that we love), 2) cumin lamb ribs (孜然羊排 my husband's fav), and 3) stir-fry greens (清炒豌豆苗 my personal fav). Not our favs but still good: 4) Eggplant with sweet sauce (鱼香茄子), and 5) some pork belly dish (虎皮肉). Sorry that I forgot the English name but I took a picture. The last two were a bit too sweet for us, so next time I'll try the other eggplant dish with fresh garlic without sweet sauce.

Based on reviews you may read, you May be confused by the place more than if you just went and tried it out. They have been around along time. At one time they were in Lakeview PreKatrina. They were a bustling place then and they still have a following. There's two menus the authentic menu and the american one. I eat of the American one but I've tried the authentic before when eating with others. You won't be disappointed. I like the moogoo gai pan due to its mild and healthy nature. 5/5 stars.

Possibly the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The egg drop soup was half cornstarch and yolk. The Mongolian beef was so salty. In contrast to the generals shrimp which was all sugar and grease. I just wanted to try this place because I've heard so many good things about it. Yuk! Never again.

Probably the best place to get delicious and (somewhat) authentic Chinese food. The shrimp salt and pepper is a must try. It’s better to order family style rather than individual dishes here imo.

The food was terrible. I literally could not eat the lunch special that I ordered. The waitress did not ask me how I liked my food. If she had, I would have told her and I would have hoped to have gotten something else or a refund, but I didn’t even get the opportunity to discuss it. Everything was too sweet or too salty. My general‘s shrimp was pre-formed, breaded shrimp deep fried with what amounted to corn syrup poured over it. It was just nasty!

The food is relative authentic considering it’s New Orleans. Service is alway excellent. They can customized based on my flavor. Advice for American customers, please try their Chinese menu. I respect the Americanized Chinese food but the real Chinese menu opens a new door for you if you respect authentic Chinese food.

The Generals chicken was very dry and tough. I had to dispose of a few pieces into a napkin before I gave up on eating it. The crab Rangoon was flavorless with little filling and plenty of very hard shell. The white rice was the best thing, however I've had better. I left a review so no one would be disappointed like I was when they think they are about to eat some delicious Chinese food.

Under rated Chinese restaurant. This is the closest to real Chinese food I have had in Jefferson Parish. This is definitely not your mall, chain, or local mom and pop in a strip mall Americanize restaurant. I ordered the combination fried rice, Kung Bo chicken, chicken Lo Mien and shrimp with garlic sauce. All were delicious and definitely unique to the restaurant types I mentioned above. It is definitely different for the American palate. I want to apologize for not including pictures. Definitely give this place a try and don't let the rating fool you.

Authentic, delicious food. We've ordered from them several times in the last few months and have always enjoyed it. Don't miss the combo fried rice - yummy! The Szechuan Chicken is very good. I didn't care for the Hot and Sour soup as it was sweet instead of spicy. My husband really liked the ribs as well. We'll definitely keep ordering from them and trying new menu items.

I don't have high expectations for Americanized Chinese food, so it's usually all pretty decent to me. However, China Rose is one of the best in New Orleans in my opinion! China Rose is consistently good and a little different from other area Chinese places. If you want Mandarin chicken, you can order Mandarin chicken, of course! But, they also offer items that are a little unique compared to other area restaurants. ( I think they also offer possibly a little more authentic dishes too!) One thing to keep in mind is that they close earlier than other Chinese restaurants in our area. The portions are fair and similar to the amount you would expect to get at a Chinese restaurant. They don't skimp on the meats either! Plus, I've never gotten a bite full of tendons and fat on their chicken dishes, so I'm always happy with the quality of their chicken. (I don't eat beef or pork too often, so I can't speak for those) When we get food from here, we always get the Singapore noodles. They're fantastic! The dish consists of thin curried noodles, which are not very saucy, but they're packed full of flavor! It has veggies and meat sautéed and mixed in as well. I suppose this is an Indian-Chinese fusion type dish, and it's pretty unique! It's also not a greasy dish, so I usually feel that it's a fulling, but lighter meal on the stomach. I highly recommend this one! We've tried a good number of their other dishes, and they've all been good, but I particularly like the shrimp with mixed vegetables as a combination dish platter. It comes with shrimp fried rice and an egg roll. It's shrimp and vegetables sautéed in a common savory sauce, just as the name would suggest. This one isn't very unique, but I like it!

Mapo tofu and garlic eggplant were excellent!!! Highly recommend and can't wait to try more dishes

Incredible restaurant but it's hit or miss. The first time I ordered from there, Everything was excellent! Authentic menu and regular menu. A month or so later, I ordered from the authentic menu and items from the regular menu. Food was decent at best. I have ordered from there several times after and the food is mediocre. I keep thinking I'm going to get the same quality from my first experience and am always disappointed. The service and staff are very helpful and friendly.

I hesitate to review this since I haven't ordered other than from the lunch specials. But everything I have ever eaten here was top notch. And the prices and service are both great. I have heard so much about the chef's menu that I need to come back and try it.

China rose is my favorite Chinese place in the city. They have two menus, one regular American Chinese menu and the other one is the Chinese menu. Food in the Chinese menu is slightly different and offers more items that are generally not seen at Chinese places. I am a big fan of their Singaporean noodles. The noodles are thin noodles with options of Chicken,Shrimp, Pork and Beef. It comes with a hint of curry spices and its perfect combination for me. I almost order it every time I go there. Another personal favorite dish of mine is Eggplant and Salty Fish. This is an amazing combination even thinking about it makes me want to order it. They use Asian eggplant and pan fry it with Salty fish pieces, which is one of the most delicious dishes i have tried here. I have tried their Lo mein, Chicken curry, General Tso chicken and they have always been great. I also want to give a shout out to the staff there. They have been super pleasant whenever we ordered to-go or dine there. I highly recommend this restaurant.

My husband like this place but he only order 2 items from here. He likes the shrimp fried rice and bbq ribs. He does not try anything else. I asked for sesame chicken. My husband picked up the food and brought it home. The rice was fine but my sesame chicken was the worst sesame chicken I tasted. It was very dried and tough. The chicken was overcooked or either that, a customer probably didn't come pick it up and they decided to refried the chicken. The broccoli in the chicken looked old too. I didn't even eat half of the portion and threw the chicken away.

China Rose is delicious! This is my Monday night dinner spot because it's lunch specials all day. The boneless fried chicken is my favorite and the Crab Rangoon's are tasty. I highly recommend China Rose if you are looking for good Chinese food in Metairie!

Eat from here atleast 5 times a week and always have a great meal. The Chinese menu has many different items that I haven't had a chance to get to yet. The service is very good & never disappoints.

Absolutely wonderful!!! When we arrived we were greeted with smiles and seated immediately. The music selection brought back many memories, but the service and the food exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed our lunch and plan to return before we leave town.

Delicious Chinese cuisine! Great Service and Atmosphere! We are frequent diners, especially with our out of town guests!

Good food and great selection of items. We were pleasantly surprised that they were open on Christmas Eve.

Apparently China Rose has new owners. $18.00 (w tax and tip) for a dinner combo. I wish I could say it was good, but the egg roll was cold and the shrimp with lobster sauce was very salty. Off my short list.

Had the standard Mandarin and General's chicken. Both were fantastic. But portions at a very fare price.

I am always craving noodles and they are hard to come by in the city. I found this place through Door Dash and was so surprised when I got my food delivered. The Dan Dan Noodles are one of my favorite and their steamed dumplings with chili oil are delicious too. These two items are from their Authentic Chinese Menu. I also enjoy their egg rolls and fried gyoza. Definitely one of my fave spots for Chinese food.

Very bad food and service. We had the chicken lo mein, sweet n sour shrimp, crab Rangoon and egg rolls...all very low quality.

Wonderful gem! I've had takeout from this location about a year ago and since I'm working back in Metairie I thought I'll give it another try. And still wonderful food. On this order I had had Crab Rangoon. On the last order I had Crab Ragoon and Cho Cho and they were amazing. Very fresh and made to order. The staff is so friendly and polite. Always have a smile and always so welcoming.

They offer an authentic Chinese menu which consists of many great options. Tried out the eggplant in hot garlic sauce and mapo tofu for takeout. Generous portions but it didn't really hit the spot for me. It was good but it wasn't as expected. I'd still like to give other items a try next time though.

If I could give no stars I would! Food was disgusting. Service was bare minimum, food was terrible. Paid $20 for food I did not eat and was confronted at the table about not leaving a tip. I was told " I give you service so you leave tip" She said it was MANDATORY. I was only there for maybe 10 mins. Never again.

Probably the most disgusting attitude and shit service I've ever received. We've been going to the restaurant for the past 10 years and ordered the same dish 10+ times with the same add on. Today the dish was completely off and I requested for a return and the attitude of the new manager was awful. She blamed the dish's problems on us? And denied the refund. On the top of that talked shit in front of us? Manner class needed.

Amazing food. Traditional menu pan fried dumplings can't be missed. Shrimp toast is amazing as well. The traditional menu shredded pork in hot garlic sauce is a favorite along with with them being the only place with good Dan-dan noodles in the city much less Metairie.

This place is adequate at best. I find the Asian menu to be all over the place with its cuisine. The American Chinese menu is better than average but I'm not really a big fan of American Chinese food.

A fried feast! Large portions, good food. The quality is also top notch. Wonton soup was really good but wish they would leave out the lettuce... def recommend if you are looking for good Chinese food in Metairie. I also hear they have great dim sum so will def try next time.

The hot and sour soup was ok. Not great but ok. Just wasn't as spicy as I expected but that's just me. Plenty of ingredients in the soup. Maybe a little too much tofu. The sesame chicken was very good. A large container came with the order. I liked it a lot. Especially served over lettuce with a sauce I couldn't recognize. The egg rolls were tasty, a little small but good. I'd really like to rate this 3 and a half stars. But I certainly wouldn't rate it 4 stars.

Absolutely delicious Chinese food! Parking can be tight but plenty of seating inside, including for larger groups. Their to-go food is always hot and fresh too. Hugh portions for the price.

Good New Orleans style Chinese food. Almost as good as the original China Rose that was located in Lakeview. Server was extremely polite, friendly, and efficient. Lighting speed service. Food was very hot and tasty. Portions are gigantic, and the prices are more than reasonable. Definitely will return whenever we're in the Metairie area.

The food is pretty good but the attitudes of some of the workers/owners is poor. When you order takeout they are so ridiculous with the condiments. They nickle and dime you over the sweet and sour sauce. It is such a turn off when you spend $60, $70... on takeout and they want to charge you for a tiny container of sauce.

Woo! I'm the 100th review. China Rose has an authentic Chinese menu and Americanized Chinese menu, so you have to ask for the authentic menu unless you're Chinese. It's good to have an authentic menu and I wish they focused on that, but I know some people look for orange chicken and general tso's, so they have to compete with other businesses. My favorite off the authentic menu is the fish and pickle soup. The pickle slices give it a unique taste. This is what I crave if I'm feeling a little under the weather. The fried sliced beef is another favorite. The plus is that it's one of the only spots that serve authentic Chinese food, but I would give it a three overall in terms of flavors and service since I have had better. There's one lady that just ignores you sometimes, and there are two others there who are motherly. TLDR: the authentic menu has good options, easy parking and no wait because there's a lot of seating.

New Orleans is a food haven filled with some of the best cuisines in the world, so it's been a fairly big suprise for me the last few years when I've realized that it really doesn't have that many quality Chinese options. So when I found China Rose out in Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans definitely known for having better ethnic cuisines than the city itself, I was looking forward to trying Chinese dishes better than I had ever found in the city proper. Unfortunately, that's not what I found. Upon arriving at the establishment, I was a fan of the outside awning that had the last 7 digits of the restaurant's phone number on the side, giving the locale an appeal of a NYC hang out as opposed to some random option in the middle of a Southern suburb. Inside, the large carpeted seating areas with one or two massive TV screens on the walls, some booths here and there, and a multitude of isolated tables with four or five chairs around wasn't the most appealing, but also had a sort of genuineness that reminded me of Chinese restaurants I had in Mississippi. The menu options were diverse but not too overwhelming, a factor I appreciated, and the prices were nothing that was going to break the bank. I ordered the Chicken Lo Mein and some Diet Coke and while the portions were massive (always a plus for me), the food simply was, surprisingly, bland. The noodles were far thinner and drier than what I was used to with Lo Mein, and even with a dousing of soy sauce, there really wasn't any flavor or spice to be found. Yes, I left full, being good for lunch and dinner, and I can say it was the best Chinese food I had so far in the New Orleans area, but that really isn't saying much. I'm determined, though, and because this city is filled to the brim with options, I'm hopeful I will find an excellent Chinese restaurant soon. China Rose, though, wasn't it.

Excellent mandarin chicken. The sauce is one of the best around and the chicken is a whole breast that is fried whole and cut up after frying. You don't end up getting almost all batter and no meat like some places

Service is a good and gets busy around 5. The food comes out fast. Large portions at a decent prices. Chicken Lo Mein - was good but I'm not sure if the chicken was fully cooked because it felt slightly froze (could've been because it is a well air conditioned building). The chicken wasn't pink though. It also tasted better the next day as leftovers. Sweet & Sour Soup- I loved this and it was different than what it used to. It was sour enough for me which I liked.

Service is super slow even when they are not too busy. But the food is pretty good and is one of the only authentic Chinese food in the area.

This is my spot. I do not like shrimp but I eat the combo rice with shrimp from here. I ALWAYS order the combo rice with no pork and extra bean sprouts. I have also had the string beans and beef and broccoli. They are spot on and the best I have ever had from Jeff Parish to Orleans. Highly recommend

I got the vegetable fried rice and the wonton soup! So so sooooo bland, was not expecting that. They used to be fairly good.

I've never been disappointed with the quality or the service. Nice oriental atmosphere. I usually have to ask for a to go box for leftovers.

China Rose is consistently good! Have been eating here for years and it never disappoints. My goto is the mandarin chicken, white meat. My mouth is watering just thinking about the tender fried chicken smothered with that brown gravy. Fried rice is great too!

I'm a Chinese dude that craves his parents authentic cooking from time to time. This place definitely satisfies that craving. Our favs here are the mapo tofu, chili steamed spicy fish, and garlic eggplant. Reasonably priced and quick service. All in all, nothing to complain about and everything we've tried are so good here.

Sadly, this was a very bad experience of having lo mein at China Rose. I ordered shrimp lo mein and as you all can see they had veins in it. I have never seen anyone serving shrimp with veins in it. I have not been to china so I don't know how they serve it there but in US I guess people are serious about hygiene. Ever wondered what's in those veins? It is actually the lower digestive tract of shrimp and if you know it is basically shrimp poop in simple words. I and my girlfriend just lost our appetite after looking at our food. I asked the server and she said "WE NEVER REMOVE THE VEIN". She didn't even let me finish what I was talking. I don't call this a good customer service. I have read other reviews where people liked the service and I didn't expect it from them. All I can say is they're never seeing me again. Good LICK with that shrimp poop everyone!

Ordered takeout and the food was "so-so." I've dined here before and the food was pretty good, not spectacular, but good. This time, not so much. The Metairie area is loaded with restaurants and, this case, having options is a good thing.

Nice Chinese food, good price, and nice staff, ample parking space. best Chinese food in New Orleans tested so far

Chinese food in the United States it's a bit of a hit or miss, quite often you just get the very Americanized - Chinese food (just like Tex-Mex it has its pros and cons). China Rose is an exception, you have the "hidden" secret menu, with some more traditional Chinese dishes. I like the dan dan noodles, and the potstickers with the vinegar soy sauce. Make sure to order the noodles spicy, or they will serve you the very mild version. Be adventurous!! Try the hundred year old eggs with noodles. Overall a very good experience, good prices the portions are large enough, and with dishes that your Chinese grandma would cook for you during a family gathering( without grandma Love, this is a very rare ingredient). Just try it...

Ate here for lunch with some friends since I was craving Chinese. Left heavily disappointed, sadly. Everything was in big shareable plates. Cost us $100 for 4 people, but we definitely over ordered. Two stars because the people who worked/owned the place were super nice. They have two menus, traditional and non. We ordered from both. Scallion pancakes ($4.95) - not enough scallions and was very dry compared to other places that I've tried. Not much flavor either. Chicken wings - probably the best part of the meal. But who can mess up chicken wings? Spicy Dan Dan noodles ($7.95) - had such a weird flavor. No one at the table enjoyed this. Maybe it's just an acquired taste. Kinda tasted like it had a light curry taste, but not as good as curry. Combination Lo mein - lacking flavor. And they use skinny noodles instead of the usually spaghetti/fat noodles. Really needed a lot of soy sauce to be good. Steamed soup dumplings - really big and too much dough. There wasn't much soup in it either. Don't order this. Eggplant with hot garlic sauce - came out piping hot and had good flavor. Honey chicken - the sauce wasn't thick enough and I know it's just honey chicken, but the sauce didn't have enough depth to it.

I am very sad to say we ordered $100 worth of to go food from here tonight. It was absolutely horrible. Three kids and three adults none of us could eat it. Unfortunately we threw it all away. My favorite part of Chinese food is having leftovers but....

Good ol' New Orleans style Chinese, hidden around the way so you know it's good if it's able to keep going if they're not out in front of everything.

Every time I order takeout, choose the option to add cutlery and they never give me cutlery. 就这么抠门？这点小便宜也要贪？真够恶心的

When I first moved to the Nola area, some locals I met told me to go to Metry for good Chinese food, not the Westbank. I guess they meant this place. Nola has some amazing cuisines, Chinese is not one of them. China Rose gets four stars for attempting a somewhat traditional Chinese menu along with usual American staples of chow mein and orange chicken. I've only ordered from the Chinese menu. My favorite appetizer is the bean curd skins. It's a hearty tofu-esque dish that's perfect during Lent. One time, it came out lukewarm in the middle instead of hot, but the flavors were still there. I also order the dan-dan noodles, which is noodles with bits of ground pork tossed in a chili oil. It has a fair amount of heat and beats their lo mein, hands down. For my entrees, I rotate between their seafood and tofu pot and their eggplant and garlic sauce. Their Chinese menu offers some great seafood and non-meat alternatives during Lent or when you don't feel like eating lots of meat. Service is a-ok; the servers have been kind and efficient. Lastly, the parking can be a pain during lunch hours. If their lot is full, look for street parking.

Never use your creditcard Would give 0 if i could, got my credit card info stolen right after purchase.

Pretty good Chinese food! Quick and attentive service. Crab Rangoon is lit. But everything else was really good too. We got the honey chicken, generals chicken, wontons, spring rolls, egg rolls and shrimp fried rice. All delicious! Will definitely go back.

This is a restaurant a lot of locals like to order from and now I see why. The price and portion are on point. The food itself was pretty good even with some of the negative reviews I read, it didn't discourage me from trying it out. My party ordered the green beans, ma po tofu, and eggplant which we all really like. One item to avoid is the scallion pancakes...doesn't taste very good and mostly like salt on pieces of bread. Overall, highly recommend this local hotspot.
