What People Are Saying About Chinalite

In Short – The interior of this restaurant is large and spacious, with a slightly elevated smoking section surrounded by booths and a few tables by the window. The menu boasts generously portioned Chinese fare, including spicy chicken with pepper and peanuts and Xian beef with marinated meat, onions and mushrooms.
What's that moving in my fried rice?
by Peaceout242
I used to absolutely love this place until I had a business partner wander through the kitchen one evening. His stories of unwrapped food and small visitors hanging out made me NEVER order from here again. What a waste of some good chinese. Gives me the willies to this day.
- Pros: good tasting food
- Cons: cleanliness
Not good
by JerseytoChi
Just finished eating... well as much as I could stand anyway. Ordered chicken lo mein and chicken w/ broccoli... the only difference between these two dishes was that the chicken lo mein came with "ramen" noodles. I've never had either dish with a broth-colored sauce. Perhaps the "lite" in the name also refers to the color of the chicken which was darn near white. Do I have to go back to Jersey to find good chinese food around here? Fast service, but not good.
Greasy, nasty food
by gcmitchell
I tried Chinalite several times when I lived near there, and each time got worse. It was always super-greasy and lacking in flavor. I was shocked to see it scored so high by other users! Stay away!!! You'll regret it for days if you eat here.
