Great place for a business meeting or family gathering, the value to pricing ratio is good... found the always staff friendly and inviting... Restrooms clean... I really like their small but delicious lunch buffet, good selection, priced right for lunch, and all you can eat... Exceeds expectations...

I took my family to China Doll 2 for dinner. I was very disappointed in the service and the attitude of the owner/manager. Our soup was cold and we had to ask for it to be heated. The owner brought us one tiny cup with rice for two people to share. It was not nearly enough for two people to eat with the dinner that she brought. We asked the young waiter to bring more rice. He went and asked the owner and she said NO! I could not believe my ears. I said, "She said NO. What does that mean?" He told me that she did not want to give us more rice. I said to the young waiter don't you know that the customer is ALWAYS right. He told me that he told the owner that and she did not care. Needless to say, the owner can keep her rice. We will no longer be a customer. Happy China restaurant is just down the street and we always get better food, great service and more rice

Very friendly and personal service that really tries to make a dish how you want it. if you want spicier, she'll do it. if your kid likes baby corn, he gets extra. It's our favorite Chinese restaurant.

This place is just a couple of min from my home so I can call ahead and pick up my order for my family w/in 15 min. It is does not have the best soup we have ever had, but the egg rolls are about the same, the food is way more than we have ever gotten any where else, we have been able to eat off our meals 3 nites.. The meals are about the same as some places I have eaten, w/out mentioning names. I give them an overall 4, because the prices are reasonable, good amt for your money and its MSG FREE....

I eat at several chinese restaurants. China Doll 2 is not my favorite, but its closest to my workplace. I usually get the beef with broccolli, which I have cooked spicy, or the imperial beef. I am pleased with those dishes, and the hot and sour soup is ok. I like the fried rice better at other restaurants but I can call them and pick up my meal about 6 minutes later, which keeps me from giving into the temptation and going through McDonalds.

I love chinese and eat it often. The China Doll 2 is the closest to my house but I stopped eating there years ago due to the tastes of the food. I thought I would give another try to see if the quality had changed but was disappointed again. I had the General Chicken which had the same strange after taste that I remember from before. The Hot & Sour soup was salty. The egg roll was OK but the spicy mustard tasted like table mustard.
I have eaten at a lot of different Chinese restaraunts and I would have to say this is the worst I have ever tried.

This is a new authentic Chinese food restaurant in town. It is not very fancy but food is close to Mom's cooking.

i normally get take-out, but i ALWAYS have my order correct and they don't mind customizing to make things without certain ingredients or adding them, such as making a dish spicy. a great place! (MSG FREE!)
