Grand China

I have eaten here for years. The service is just great, the owner and workers are always willing to bend over backwards to make sure you get exactly what you want. They are kind, engaged, I just really enjoy their enthusiasm. As for food: This is the best chinese food in Placerville/D. Springs in my opinion. Also, the resturant is always clean and the decoration is always on point. Full marks. I love going there. I hope it never closes. Oh and as a final note, usually Chinese food soups are kind of a meh thing. The wonton soup here is superior.

Boyfriend has been raving about this spot, and I finally got the chance to try it today! When I tell you this is NOW one of my favorite Chinese American restaurants I have ever been to, it really is! The staff were sweet and casually chat and welcome their customers. I got the sesame chicken and it was sweet, tangy, the teensiest bit spicy and just overall the best. Their lunch special 11-13$) is an insane deal for a great amount of food. It contains an egg roll, wonton cracker, your choice of entree from list, fried rice/white rice, an orange slice, and a side of wonton soup. TRULY IF YOU ARE IN THIS AREA AND WANT A GOOD DEAL AND SOME YUMMY FOOD DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CHECK THEM OUT!

I recently dined at Grand China with a buddy, and let me tell you--the food was fantastic. The Kung Pao chicken had the perfect kick, the egg rolls were crispy perfection, and the fried rice could have made even Confucius crack a smile. But then... the moment of truth arrived: the fortune cookie. Now, you know that part of the meal when you crack open the fortune cookie and expect some ancient wisdom or winning lottery numbers? Well, we eagerly broke ours open... and both were empty. That's right--no fortune, no wise words, nothing. It seems we were served an "unfortunate cookie." Apparently, fate decided to take a day off, or maybe the fortunes ran out faster than the last egg roll on the table. Either way, it's hard to know where life's taking you when even your cookie is like, "¯_(ツ)_/¯." Would I go back? Absolutely--the food is still solid. But I'll probably bring my own fortune next time... just in case.

Tucked away in a business/retail park on Golden Circle in Placerville's busy Missouri Flat District is this gem of a friendly and clean Chinese American restaurant. We have two or three Chinese restaurants in my town but I drive 8 miles to this place because it is cleaner, friendlier and has great portions and menu options. The proteins are also very generous and good. I think the food is above average Chinese American but it feels less greasy then some Chinese places which makes it a bunch healthier for you. Unless if you eat all the portions they give you here, you might have a bloated stomach. It is popular with the locals because it has been here for years and does pretty well, even though it has no real "busy road frontage". Locals seem to love it. You should give it a try when in the neighborhood.

My husband and I were in Placerville last weekend for a dog show and were hungry for some Chinese food after. I quickly checked Yelp and Grand China came highly recommended. We saw that the restaurant was out of the way in a quiet area of Placerville. As it was the Memorial Day weekend, we did not want to go anywhere near downtown. So this worked out great for us. Upon arrival, we were only one of two couples in the restaurant. It was very quiet and peaceful, and the booths were extremely comfortable. Our eyes were drawn to the lunch specials immediately. For only $12 this was a steal, and I was very happy to find that wonton soup was served with our meal! Usually you only get a choice of hot and sour or egg flower soup at other establishments. I chose the shrimp with black bean sauce and my husband chose the Mongolian beef. We also got a combination chow fun to share. Our wonton soups were at our table in no time, and when I say this is one of the best wonton soups I've had at a Chinese-American restaurant, I'm not kidding. The broth was clear while full of flavor, and the wontons themselves were delicious and the skins were not overcooked, as can be common. The soups were devoured in minutes. Next, our lunch specials arrived in less than 15 minutes, and we were certainly not ready for the portion sizes at all. While we were hungry, we definitely knew that there would be leftovers for home, especially since we also got a dish to share. All the flavors were on point, and I loved how saucy my black bean shrimp was. I got to try a bit of my husband's Mongolian beef and that was excellent too. The fried rice was your typical flavor, but I would have liked to see more of the "wok hay." We tried the chow fun next and while it was pretty good, I was also expecting a "wok hay" flavor, which I did not taste. I'd like to try some other noodle dishes next time, but this was not my favorite. However, the pieces of meat were huge for what we paid ($12). We ended up bringing a bunch of leftovers home, and I'm quite happy to find this restaurant tucked away in Placerville, where there is a dearth of Asian food. The service was also awesome and very friendly. Our waters were refilled and we were checked on promptly. I'd love to return and try other dishes Grand China has to offer!
