Modern China Cafe - Walnut Creek

Henry is doing an amazing job in the kitchen, and the food is absolutely outstanding. Modern China Cafe is hands down one of the best restaurants out there. You should definitely check it out!

If I could give zero stars, I would. Our waiter, Breeana, called the police on us even though there were still four people sitting at the table. She didn't ask us anything...

On June 1, 2023, I still give this restaurant five stars. We've been ordering takeout for the office lately, and every day the food is delicious and plentiful! The service has been excellent as well.

Modern China Cafe is a vibrant and energetic lounge with a wonderful atmosphere. It features spectacular fireplace seating and serves authentic Chinese cuisine alongside a fantastic mixology bar. You can enjoy small plates and dim sum, as well as family-style portions. Modern China truly stands out as the best place to dine; the atmosphere is friendly and inviting, and the staff is creative and willing to chat about anything. It feels like a family establishment, where everyone is made to feel at home, making each visit a genuinely enjoyable experience.

This restaurant is quite good, although it's definitely more American Chinese cuisine than authentic. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed our visit! The service was excellent. We went at 1 PM when it wasn't too busy, so we didn't feel rushed. However, it did take a bit longer for the food to come out, with our first dish arriving about 15 minutes after we ordered. My mother tried the Sidecar from the cocktail menu and absolutely loved it. I highly recommend the spicy crispy roasted chicken!
