Food is great, but waited 2 hours to get a piece of naan. Not sure what happened here. An entire family walked out because they hadnt been served and we were thinking about doing the same. The entire ordeal was unacceptably disorganized: 1. Entry- no staff to be seen; grab your own menu off a counter/ someone elses dirty table and find your way around it. 2. The "catch,"- perhaps the trickiest part here, you must find and somehow get one of the staff to listen to your order. If they verbally take an order, it wasnt processed. Make sure they write it down. If you get past this stage, you have an incredible resilience. Process takes around 20-35 minutes. 3. Proceed to wait for food; its split between Chinese and Indian cuisine. If theyre cooking Chinese, they probably wont have Indian food available. Luckily, the staff will remain ambiguous and not tell you what will come quickly. We proceed to order a mix of. Chinese and Indian food. Chinese arrived in 20 minutes. Sweet. Oh wait- forgot the fried rice! A 35 minute wait to correct this mistake. And the Indian food? A cool 1.5 hours to bring out one chicken tikka masala dish with one piece of naan. Want extra naan? We waited 45 minutes. The cold remnants of chicken left behind were ungracefully swallowed along with a naan that came much too late. 4. The bill. Upon reaching the payment counter, expect the typical hustle and unkempt nature of the restaurant. Wait in a random line for 10-15 minutes and roll a dice, maybe theyll take your money, maybe the staff will leave for a chai break. Its quite the gamble. 5. Proceed to leave the restaurant feeling as though youve been in the oddest restaurant ever built. Pros: food is decent, naan is nice and soft This restaurant would be much better for takeout than sit in. You were warned.

We went there between Xmas and New years. Peak tourist season. The restaurant was empty. Right from the get go the attitude of the manager was "why the heck are you here, now I will have to serve you, aaaahhhh!" Next up. No Pakistani Food. Please note the name of the Restaurant is China 3 Biryani Pointe. Please note 3/4 of the menu has Pakistani food items. YET NO PAKISTANI FOOD! The manager said, they do not serve Pakistani food. They only serve Chinese. At least make an attempt to change the menu. It will cost $20 at staples to create a new menu that does not list Pakistani Food. At least glue white paper on top of the Pakistani Menu to hide the Pakistani dishes. But NOOOO This tells you the attitude of the manager / owner Next up We ordered Gen Tsos chicken and Sesame Chicken, and Teriyaki Chicken. The manager did tell us that first 2 items are sweet. We said that is OK. When the dishes came the first 2 items were EXACTLY the same. Only that sesame chicken had some sesame seeds sprinkled on top after plating it. The teriyaki chicken was 3 pieces of dried chicken strips served with 2 tiny packets of duck sauce. Exactly the opposite of any teriyaki chicken you could have imagined. The white rice were old, and dry. After every morsel of those rice we needed a glass of water to be able to swallow them. They were so dry. The attitude of the waiter Mahesh was good. But other than that, go to Golden Dynasty, and avoid this place.

The pleasure I experienced from this restaurant, pushed me to write my very first review. I am honored to give this place 5 out of 5 stars due to many reasons. For one, the food here is very delicious, and at a reasonable cost too. Its not the cheapest but it is on par with many surrounding restaurants. What this restaurant does offer that some dont, is the convenience of their app and delivery. Ordering has never been so easy thanks to their mobile app and when they say your food will be ready at a certain time, EXPECT it to be ready. So far, I havent seen them delay my order once. The best part though, is simple, just two words, TAHIR CHICKEN. China 3 offers hand-slaughtered chicken and not machine-cut, which to some, can be hit or miss in ordering here. Majority of Muslims are very keen on where theyre chicken is coming from and to how far of an extent it can be classified as halal. Thankfully, China 3s food is 100% halal without a doubt. I used to not visit this place for the longest, until this huge change was made and to be honest, Im impressed. Theyre very generous with their food and service and the atmosphere there is very homely to say. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Horrible and fraudulent restaurant i have been to in my life. Traveling from upper states to visit disney parks . Went to China 3 biryani and Ordered dish, and was presented with 4-5 different dishes that was never ordered, i was told by the manager the dish i order is special dish and i was given the dishes i never. I was given a bill of $36.00 in the restaurant and was charged $120.00 on bank card. I went to the restaurant the second day unaware about the situation that they charge me more than they were suppose, overheard family arguing about the same issue with restaurant manager. They repeated the same thing, presented me a lower amount bill in the restaurant and charged me over $100 on bank account. I called them on way back from florida, initially they were reluctant to accept their mistake, but at last the manager accepted the mistake and stated “ will refund the amount”. Horrible experience i ever had in my life, Be aware visitors you get charge more than the bill they show you in the restaurant.

AVOID AT ALL COST!!! At least when it comes to Chinese food this place is hands down the worst (literally maybe at the same level as a cheap all you can eat buffet, except with the prices of a decent Chinese restaurant)... Now I take the blame for trying out a shady place looking place (Chinese and halal both in the same place?) But I thought is give it a try since its close to home... lesson learned, never again. The food is horrible fried rice is pasty, "lo mein" noodles were actually egg noodles that tasted heavily like soy sauce and the shrimp in them were exactly the same dehydrated shrimp you get in cup noodles soups... the only decent thing were the dumplings which are obviously bought frozen at some actually Asian place, oh yeah a chicken corn soup had no trace of chicken or corn... so it was an egg drop soup thickened with starch... A tragedy of a place, the prices are off the roof in view of the quality you receive...

Beware of this place. This place is awful, they are cheats. They want to empty their stock, so tell you the leftover as their best dish. We packed food to go, asked for yellow daal with less oil as my husband is a heart patient, he promised us to give yellow daal . When we opened at home, it was the oily, greacy, basic gravy they use for nonveg dishes there was no sign of daal in it. In place of chicken fried rice we got mushy rice with some veg and chicken which was already stinking. It was 9 PM already, and we were visitors to that place, ultimately we slept hungry. It was a painful experience to get cheated by Desi, which we thought our own people and believed him.
