Le China

Disclosure: I grew up in NYC and nothing can beat (or come close to) my fond childhood memories of take out, hole-in-the-wall Chinese food, pizza, sketchy fried chicken spots, or heck even a warmed bagel with cream cheese on a cold autumn morning from the corner bodega. That said, Le China is okay. Maybe if you’re from Ohio (lol) this would be great. It’s a little bland but fine when you’re in the mood for quick Chinese food takeout. Located at the Publix Water Tower area, right along the strip that includes Mulligan’s pub, Little Greek, and the carpet store. They have dinner combos for $14-$19, where you can pick a soup, a side like fried rice or lo mein, add an eggroll, and the main dish. They serve the classic dishes like sweet and sour pork, general tso’s, beef and broccoli, orange chicken, pepper beef, boneless ribs etc. They also have items that you don’t see often in other take out Chinese places, like hibachi chicken (or other meats), Singapore noodles, Taiwan eggplant with garlic sauce. I liked the chicken lo mein and the fried wonton strips that came with the soup stayed crispy and are great to snack on. I always order online for pick up. The food comes out fast. There’s not much of an atmosphere to the dining area but the people are friendly and they always add an extra something if you get a large order. Last time they put in a container that had these fried balls, topped with mayo. Inside was soft, kinda spongy and had seafood. It might have been crispy but I left it inside the container, thinking it was some sort of sweet pastry (I didn’t know it was mayo), and I didn’t try it until I finished my plate.

We always order from here. Ordered three meals today and found what looks like a worm. Very disappointed with their response.

Worm in the food. This restaurant needs to be inspected.

We are from out of town and visited here a few weeks ago while on vacation. I eat gluten free and we were in a hurry, and this restaurant was so perfect for a quick meal that was willing to accommodate gluten free. The woman serving us was very knowledgeable in what I could and couldn’t eat. She made gluten free cashew chicken for me and it was amazing! The food came out quickly and was fresh and delicious. I wish we lived closer so that we could visit more often, but hoping to go back again next time we are in town! Dietary restrictions: Can accommodate gluten free

Got take out after visiting the Celebration Christmas lights. The soups were tasteless and the beef and broccoli and egg fried rice were bland.

Disappointed with my experience here. Came to grab some dinner to go with my family after a day at Disney and the food was not good. The rice was bland, egg rolls were burnt, wontons in our soup were hard, and chicken was not good. Not sure why the quality was lacking as they were not busy at the time I came. The hostess was rude as well. Will not be returning.
