China Station - Mariposa (CA)

4 /5 Joy P.A.: China Station Restaurant @ 5004 CA-140, Mariposa, CA 95338 A nice mix of Thai and Chinese cuisine with a good variety of dishes on the menu. I tried the hot and spicy calamari and asked them to make it mildly spicy — they did a great job! The calamari pieces aren’t the usual ring shape but are cut into longer strips, which was interesting. We also ordered the orange chicken, and I was curious since they mentioned that no MSG is used in their food. The orange chicken was a bit on the sweeter side, and the sauce had a genuine orange flavor. Worth a try if you’re passing through Mariposa or staying in the area!

5 /5 Alina Labetskaya: The restaurant is super clean, the atmosphere is pleasant, but food is spectacular!!! We remembered this place every time we went out to eat in other cities while we were visiting CA. I ordered Pad Thai. My taste buds were on the 7th cloud it was so juicy, flavorful, and just perfect 100% recommend

5 /5 Matt Jitwichot: We traveled from New York to Yosemite and were really craving Asian food. This place was about a 50-minute drive from our hotel—and it was totally worth it! Honestly, the food surprised us in the best way. We ordered 3 dishes and a wonton soup, and everything was delicious. The service wasn’t perfect, but everyone was kind. One of my friends joked, “If you see the owner’s kid doing homework in a Chinese restaurant, the food’s going to be authentic”—and it definitely was! I saw someone say the Thai food here isn’t great, but come on—it’s a Chinese restaurant, and that’s what they do best. We loved it so much, we’re even thinking about coming back on Tuesday!

1 /5 Brian: I would give it 2 stars, but the prices on the menu were cheaper than what I was actually charged. Also, the barbecue pork is not good. Overcooked, very chewy, not flavored right, and so watery that all the sauce leaked out into the bag and got everything sticky.

5 /5 Fabian: We arrived at a large parking lot with the sun blasting from the sky. The only noise was the slow humming of cars passing by behind us. No person was to be seen, in what was a peak American moment. With the American flag waving across from us, we entered the establishment and were greeted by cold and agreeable AC chilled air. With a friendly nod we were shown to a table. It was 1.30pm on a Sunday, and there were 4 tables occupied. By the door, there was an elderly lady eating with what might be a grand child. In the center of the room, a large group congregated around a big round table (typically Chinese restaurant like, if I may add), with a rotating center. This center is meant for aharing food, but this group was each having their own meal, no center food to be seen. And finally, a group of 4 having a quite discussion We ordered the Tofu dishes, the waiter was brisk but efficient. As a side we got the fried rice, with vegetables, highly recommended. Our waters were brought out by a Chinese boy, the waters with plenty of ice, and fresh taste. While waiting for the food we got to appreciate theinterior design, clearly Yosamite themed with many studfed animals, and pictures of scenery. Overall a cozy and calm vibe, where we felt at ease The food was splendid, well seasoned, and plenty. So much in fact we were able to take almost a full additional meal home with us. We recommend this place warmly, specially for vegans.
