China Lake

The best Chinese food place in the Binghamton area I'm not kidding. The only thing is that if you come during the dinner hour or lunch you'll probably have slow service. But everything else is great, they have snacks before and after your meal for free, and free oranges at the end.

Excellent!!! The owners are awesome. First time here was like walking into my Nonna kitchen. Can Italian Grandmother and Chinese Grandmother be the same people😊 She order everything for us and had the hot seasoning on the side for us to mix in. The food 10 stars just kept come best Chinese in area. Go hungry and enjoy the great people. Go with moms suggestion.

Lunch special prices makes this the best Chinese restaurant in the southern tier. Food is not fast food fry style. Shrimp black bean sauce, Beef Noodle soup are amazing options here.

One of the food gems in the area. I've been coming for 10 years and it's always good. It is run (solely) by husband and wife. This means when it gets busy food will come out slower than you may want, but it is more than worth the wait. The secret is in the traditional Chinese menu. So many good options: shrimp with black bean, black pepper chicken, clams with black bean, crispy squid, etc, etc... I've had most of the traditional menu and I can't name something I've been dissapointed with, even the frog legs :-)

This place has great food and reasonable prices. Only downside is that parking is limited and the two owners are always yelling loudly at each other in Chinese(I assume it is Chinese).
